Performance of basin soil hardening

If there are cracks on the surface of your flowerpot, and the soil is particularly hard, you can't poke it with your hand, and you can't absorb it when watering, it's basically that the soil is hardened

After soil hardening, slight will cause flowers to wilt, yellow leaves and lose leaves. Serious soil hardening will hinder the breathing of roots, lead to root rot, and finally the whole plant will die

Put a toothpick in the basin and solve the hardening immediately

For example, some flower friends in the north, the current temperature has reached about 5 ℃, which is not suitable for changing pots at this time, so we have to use several small methods to solve it

1. Insert a pipe into the basin

After the soil hardens, you can poke several holes in the basin soil with chopsticks or small wooden sticks, then plug in the straw, and slowly pour coarse sand or fine cinder into the straw. In this way, when watering, the soil will slowly become loose! But be careful not to poke the straw into the root system

2. Sprinkle some earthworm dung, sheep dung and eggs on the basin

The hardened soil basically has no fertility. At this time, you can sprinkle a few sheep dung eggs or earthworm dung on the basin surface. In this way, when watering, let the nutrition penetrate into the soil with the water, which can also improve the soil hardening

3. Tap the flowerpot

If your home is a plastic flowerpot, you can choose to knock it down a few times to loosen the soil. Holding the flowerpot with one hand and tapping the outer wall of the flowerpot with the other hand can loosen the soil in the flowerpot. At the same time, loosening the soil with a small shovel can improve the hardening phenomenon

Change a basin for the flower and solve it immediately

Of course, the best way to solve soil hardening is to replace it with new soil

1. After the soil hardens, hold the flowerpot with one hand and the root of the plant with the other hand, and then pour out the whole basin soil

2. Remove the hardened soil and prepare loose and breathable soil. Garden soil can be mixed with perlite, vermiculite or pine needles to form loose and breathable nutrient soil

3. Put the plant directly into the basin, pour it once, put it in a cool and ventilated place for a few days, and then carry out normal maintenance

Add some of it to the soil, and the soil will no longer harden

When changing pots for flowers, in order to ensure loose and breathable, you need to mix something in the pot soil

1. Mixed with pine needles

Pine needles are loose and breathable. They are very suitable to be placed at the bottom of the basin. Usually go under the pine tree, dig a layer of the surface, directly dig out the blackened pine needles below, take them home and soak them in carbendazim solution

2. Mix some cinder

If you meet a flower friend who burns honeycomb briquette, you can order the burned cinder, take it home and smash it into a thumb sized small piece, soak it in clean water for a few days, take it out and dry it, and you can directly mix it with the soil for use. The loose and breathable effect is very good

3. Mix some egg shells

Egg shell is a common thing at home. We collect the egg shell, wash it, dry it in the sun, grind it, and then mix it directly with the garden soil. Egg shell can not only loosen and ventilate, but also supplement calcium to make the flowers grow stronger
