Preparation method of hibiscus soil

Hibiscus soil requirements

Hibiscus likes to grow in slightly acidic soil with a pH value between 6.5 and 7. The soil must be loose and breathable. Never use heavy or compacted soil. It must also have a certain fertility. For cultivating hibiscus, you can choose a mixture of garden soil, river sand, leaf mold, and base fertilizer. You can also choose peat soil, perlite, leaf mold, and base fertilizer.

Preparation method of hibiscus soil

1. Soil preparation: To prepare the soil for hibiscus, you can use leaf mold, river sand and garden soil in a 1:1:1 mixture. You also need to add some base fertilizer to the soil to increase its fertility.

2. Disinfection: The prepared soil needs to be disinfected first, otherwise the hibiscus will easily be infected with bacteria after being planted. In addition, the soil needs to be loosened regularly during the cultivation process to prevent the soil from becoming too compacted.

Hibiscus soil maintenance

1. If there are insects in the soil of hibiscus, you can use pesticides. Professional agents suitable for killing insects in the soil of hibiscus include Dimethoate, Flower Protector, Avermectin, etc. Some of them are pesticides with relatively low toxic components. You need to pay a little attention to the amount used to avoid pesticide damage.

2. During the cultivation of hibiscus, new soil needs to be replaced every 1-2 years. The time for soil replacement is late spring and early summer, so that the hibiscus can grow better.

3. Hibiscus can be grown with wood ash, which is a relatively good nutrient fertilizer. Using wood ash as fertilizer can play a very good role in the growth of plants, but it cannot be used too much because wood ash is alkaline and hibiscus likes to grow in a slightly acidic environment.

4. Eggshells can be added to the hibiscus soil. Eggshells can quickly decompose the soil and provide the soil with rich calcium and other mineral nutrients during the decomposition process, allowing the plants to grow better.
