What to do if the soil for growing flowers is too wet and never dries up

In fact, in the process of growing flowers, the pot soil is wet for a long time because the roots of the flowers and plants are partially rotten and the absorption and utilization of water is not good. It is also caused by excessive watering and the pot soil is compacted and airtight .

The solutions to the two situations mentioned above are also different. If it is caused by the soil in the pot being compacted and not breathable, you should promptly change the soil in the pot, replace it with new loam, and replant the flowers.

Especially in the rainy summer, it is most likely that the pot soil will remain wet for a long time. In this case, measures should be taken immediately.

One is to move the flower pot to the window and let the moisture in the soil in the pot evaporate as much as possible.

The second is to turn on the fan to increase the fluidity of the ambient air, prompt the leaves of the flowers to strengthen their respiration, and accelerate the removal of moisture from the pot. When the wet surface of the pot soil disappears and the pot soil appears moist but not wet, you can resume the original maintenance.

If it is caused by root rot of the plant, you should repot and change the soil in time.

When growing flowers, you should try to avoid causing the soil in the pot to be too wet. When encountering rainy weather, you should reduce the amount of watering and place the potted flowers in a cool, ventilated and breathable place.

Alternatively, you can remove the potted flowers from the original pot, keep the core soil, remove the surrounding soil, and replace it with loose, well-breathable loam.

In short, the soil of potted flowers cannot be wet for a long time, otherwise it will easily lead to root rot. It is best to use loose and breathable sandy loam for cultivation. Because the roots of flowers and plants need to breathe, and the most feared thing is that the bottom of the pot is waterlogged and airtight.

Therefore, when choosing cultivation soil, the needs of flowers and green plants for soil should be fully considered and cannot be generalized.

Secondly, watering should be carried out according to the season, climate, soil, flower pots, and the habits of flowers and plants. You should fully understand whether the flowers and plants you are cultivating like moisture or dryness.

Moreover, flowers that are afraid of waterlogging should be watered less, and flowers that like moisture should be watered more. Only in this way can we avoid the pot soil always being wet .
