1. Requirements for soil

(1) First of all, it should be loose, which is related to air permeability. If it is not loose, the root respiration of the plant will be hindered, and then there will be problems in the transportation of water and nutrients, and the growth will become weaker

(2) Secondly, it should be fertile. Sufficient nutrition supply can not only ensure the vigorous growth of plants, but also reduce the trouble of fertilization

(3) And good water permeability. In this way, after watering each time, the water can more fully penetrate into the lower part of the soil, which can not only make the plants absorb enough water, but also make it difficult for the roots to rot

(4) Acidic soil is also needed, which is determined by the characteristics of the plant. Plants do not grow well in alkaline soil

2. What kind of soil

(1) The simplest way is to directly use the nutritious soil bought from the store. It contains rich nutrition, and has good air permeability and water permeability. The overall effect is good. However, some friends don't want to use this kind of soil, so if the conditions can be met, the effect of self prepared soil will be better

(2) There are many ways to make it yourself. A slightly simpler method: garden soil, rotten leaf soil and coarse sand can be mixed evenly, accounting for one third each. There are also more troublesome methods: use six parts of garden soil, two parts of stable manure as base fertilizer, two parts of coarse sand and one part of peanut cake

3. Precautions

No matter what soil you choose, it's best to use it after disinfection
