How can we ensure that the potting soil is loose, breathable and fertile?
It is recommended to use soil with high humus content, because the humus content will have strong absorption, which can improve the fertilizer retention and water retention performance of the soil, and can also adjust the acid and alkali changes of the soil to prevent soil compaction! Then, humus soil, peat soil, compost soil contains a lot of humus, when potting must add some soil, in addition, but also in the soil to add some particulate matter, increase soil drainage and ventilation, such as sand grains, cinder, perlite and so on.
The second little trick is to replace the flower soil every year to repair the roots
The potted flower soil is maintained to a certain time, it lacks nutrients, and the potted soil gradually compacts, becomes very hard, can not penetrate when watering, even if it is often fertilized, it cannot be absorbed by the flower roots, so such soil is not conducive to the growth of flower roots! Therefore, it is recommended to replace the flower soil once a year.
