Fertilization

Flowers and plants change pots mainly because the soil of potted flowers is limited. Before long, the nutrients in the soil will be consumed by flowers and plants. Therefore, it is necessary to give flowers and plants new and fertile soil. If we can ensure the nutrients in the soil of flowers and plants, changing pots is not so important

Liquid fertilizer

Liquid fertilizer can be purchased or homemade. Home made liquid fertilizer is mainly mixed with organic matter and water, sealed and fermented in the sun. It can be fermented successfully in about two or three months

Steps:

1. Chop up household kitchen waste. This kitchen waste can be fruit peel, vegetable leaves, soybean milk residue, leftover chicken bones, fish bones, bean cakes, peanut cakes, etc

2. Find a clean, well sealed bottle and put the shredded garbage in

3. Fill the bottle with water and put it in the sun for about 3 months. If you want to ferment faster, you can add some Campbell starter (anaerobic type)

Some people say that some rock sugar, white sugar or black sugar can also be added. They can also play a certain role in fermentation, but the effect is not as good as special starter

4. When in use, take the supernatant, dilute it according to the ratio of 1:100, and then conduct root irrigation

Slow release fertilizer

Slow release fertilizer can release nutrients slowly without causing root burning. It is very suitable for flower friends who don't like frequent fertilization

Steps:

1. Dig a small hole in the basin soil, about 5 or 6 cm deep

2. Put in 7 or 8 slow-release fertilizers and bury them again

Base fertilizer

The above two fertilization methods are topdressing, and flower friends can also add some base fertilizer when putting on the pot

Steps:

1. The base fertilizer can be compound fertilizer or the solid part of self-made fertilizer

2. The fertilizer is mixed with a part of nutrient soil and laid on the bottom of the flower pot

3. After spreading another layer of soil, hold the flowers on the basin, gently shake the plants to fill in the soil, and finally compact the soil by hand

Breathability

Keep flowers for 10 years without changing pots. The most important thing is to keep flowers for 10 years without rotten roots! Rotten roots are because the soil is sticky and the roots of flowers and plants can't breathe. Therefore, in order not to rotten roots, the most important thing is to ensure the air permeability of the soil

Granular soil

To improve soil permeability, some water-insoluble particles need to be added to the soil, such as:

1. Vermiculite

2. Perlite

In addition, there are coal cinder, hematite, Luzhao soil, green zeolite, diatomite, rainbow stone, coarse sand, daily stone, etc

It is worth noting that Maifan stone contains many trace elements required for the growth of flowers and plants, so it can not only improve soil permeability, but also provide nutrients for flowers and plants

The proportion of granular soil does not need to be too high. Generally, it is granular soil: nutrient soil = about 3:7. For flowers and plants with fleshy roots such as fleshy and Clivia, the proportion can be adjusted to 4:6 or 1:1

Ceramsite

In addition to granular soil, when raising flowers, it is best to pad a layer of ceramsite or broken bricks at the bottom of the flower pot to prevent ponding and rotten roots

Free plant material

In addition to the purchased granular soil and ceramsite, there are also some things that can be seen everywhere in life. They are suitable for soil, which can not only improve the permeability of soil, but also save money and convenience

1. Pine needle soil

Pine needle soil is the soil under the pine tree. It is very fertile and loose. It is a good plant material for raising meat and orchids. Pine trees are found in many urban greening, and pine needle soil is also easier to obtain

2. Fruit shell

Peanut shell, melon seed shell, happy fruit shell... The shell of these oil crops is very suitable for the soil of Clivia. On the one hand, it is loose and breathable, on the other hand, it can slowly decompose and provide nutrition for Clivia

Soil hardening

In the process of raising flowers, due to watering and other reasons, the basin soil may be slowly saline and alkaline, resulting in soil hardening, reduced voids in the soil, and it is difficult to water through. At this time, flowers and plants are also easy to rot

Prevention

1. Watering flowers with pure water

Soil hardening is mainly due to watering flowers with tap water. Tap water contains a lot of calcium and magnesium ions, which will remain in the soil when watering, and will lead to soil saline alkali hardening for a long time. Watering flowers with pure water can perfectly avoid this problem

2. Planting flowers in rotten leaf soil

In order to prevent soil salinity, you can use acidic soil when planting flowers at the beginning. Generally, rotten leaf soil and pine needle soil are acidic, which is very suitable for gardenia, camellia, jasmine and other southern flowers

Handle

After the soil has been hardened by saline alkali, some small methods can be used to alleviate it

1. Rice vinegar

Rice vinegar is weakly acidic. When watering flowers, you can add a few drops of rice vinegar to the water to adjust the pH of the soil

2. Alum fertilizer water

At ordinary times, when applying liquid fertilizer to flowers and plants, alum fertilizer water can be used. It is a kind of acidic liquid fertilizer, which is made of ferrous sulfate, cake fertilizer and water in the ratio of 1:5:100 and sealed fermentation

3. Rice washing water

Rice washing water is also weakly acidic. When watering flowers, rice washing water can not only adjust the pH of soil, but also provide nutrition for flowers and plants as liquid fertilizer

4. Soil salinization and alkali hardening will generally be concentrated on the surface of the basin soil. After hardening, scrape off the basin soil whose surface does not touch the root system and put it back into the loose and fertile soil, which will alleviate a lot of hardening

In fact, as long as you deal with the basin soil

Keep the soil loose and fertile

Raising flowers without changing pots is not a dream
