1、 Do you prefer acidic or alkaline

Most of them grow in mountains or grasslands and prefer neutral or acidic soil, which is very helpful for their development. However, many cactus plants grow in desert, which is more suitable for planting in alkaline soil. Therefore, soil cultivation must be carried out according to the preferences of plants, otherwise it will lead to poor growth

2、 What about acid

1. Using acidic soil: using acidic soil is a more direct method. The more common acidic soil is rotten leaf soil, but this kind of soil has strong water holding capacity, but the drainage effect is not very good, which is unfavorable to the growth of meat. Therefore, it is also necessary to add a little river sand or other large particle matrix in it, which can help drain water and avoid ponding of plants

2. Acidification: if there is no acidic soil, some methods can also be used to acidify the soil. For example, watering ferrous sulfate solution or alum fertilizer water can reduce the pH value. Or add white vinegar into the water for acidification, which is cheaper, but it should be salt free, otherwise it will affect the development of plants

3、 What about alkali

For alkaline meat, such as cactus, it needs to be planted in alkaline soil. Generally, the soil pH in the north is higher than 7, which can be used directly, or an appropriate amount of plant ash can be added to the soil to achieve the effect of alkalization
