You can prepare it yourself at home by mixing garden soil, soil containing leaf mold and sand in a ratio of 3:4:3. The planting effect is also very good. One thing to note in particular is that after mixing, it needs to be sterilized at high temperature before use, or exposed to the sun.

3. Fertilization: The number of fertilization varies according to the season. During the growing season, apply fertilizer once every 15 to 20 days. Towards the end of autumn, gradually reduce the number of fertilizations, and in summer or winter, do not apply any fertilizers.
