Requirements for preparing flowerpot soil

To prepare the soil in the flowerpot, you can choose loose and breathable garden soil, and then according to the needs of the flowers, appropriately mix some sand, rotten leaves, peat soil, etc. Then add an appropriate amount of organic fertilizer to the soil, or mix bark, peat soil, and perlite in a ratio of 1:3:1, and then expose the soil to the sun for a period of time.

How to prepare flowerpot soil

1. Select soil

Growing flowers requires soil with relatively high nutritional content. Generally, we choose garden soil with loose texture and good air permeability. According to the needs of flowers, we appropriately mix some other substances. We also need to add organic fertilizer, or finely chopped weeds and fallen leaves to the soil. Small fruit peels can also help soil fermentation.

Sometimes adding some sewage can make the soil more fertile. Overall, it depends on which type of soil is more suitable for the flowers you plant to ensure better growth of the flowers.

2. Disinfection and sterilization

The original soil may contain a lot of microorganisms, such as insect eggs and impurities. If it is not sterilized and disinfected before planting, it is easy to cause diseases and pests. So we can put the soil in the sun for a period of time to help kill the eggs in it.

Precautions for preparing flowerpot soil

In the process of growing flowers at home, few people go to great lengths to deal with the culture soil. Some people just go outside to dig some ordinary garden soil and leaf mold, and then come back to simply plant the flowers in pots.

This often results in the flowers growing weak in the later stage, and because the soil is not sterilized and disinfected in advance, various diseases and pests breed. This way of growing flowers is very undesirable, and flowers must be planted after disinfection.
