Introduction

Peat soil refers to the flower culture soil prepared with "peat" as the main component, and peat is formed by the accumulation and change of various plants in the swamp after death for many years, mostly distributed in the low-lying areas of cold and wet areas

Ingredients

Peat soil not only has a large number of plant residues, but also contains high organic matter such as humic acid, cellulose and lignin

Characteristics

Advantages

First, peat soil is rich in nutrients, soft and breathable

Second, peat soil has strong water and fertilizer retention ability, and there are no disease spores and insect eggs

Third, peat soil can be used as soil conditioner

Shortcomings

First, if peat soil is used alone to plant plants, the soil will harden over time, making it difficult for the roots of plants to breathe. Moreover, when glue is used, the water leaks directly from the bottom of the basin. For a long time, the plants will die of drought

Second, the exploitation of peat soil will destroy wetlands and is not conducive to the protection of ecological environment

Applicable plant

Peat soil is suitable for potted flowers. It can also be used to cultivate succulent, camellia, azalea and other plants
