1 Sprinkle some sand in the pot, the leaves will not turn yellow and the roots will not rot, the root system will grow vigorously, and the small insects will avoid it!

Throw a branch into the sand, and big white roots will grow out!

Sand is a very useful medium for cuttings. Sand is highly permeable and breathable, and the cuttings take root very quickly. Today Huahua takes Bougainvillea as an example.

Steps:

1. Sift the sand through a sieve and prepare the coarse sand with larger particles.

2. Prepare a pot of yellow soil, crush it into powder, add some rooting powder, pour in water and mix it into yellow mud slurry.

3. When choosing the bougainvillea branches that need to be grafted, it is best to choose branches that are more than one year old so that they can survive easily.

4. Trim the bougainvillea branches that need to be grafted and cut them into small sections of about 7-10 cm.

5. Soak the lower end of the branch in yellow mud, about 2-3cm deep.

6. Prepare pure coarse sand, and then insert the cuttings of bougainvillea branches into the sand.

7. The water permeability of sand is very strong, so you should sprinkle water on the surface of the sand basin 1-2 times a day. It only takes about 1 month for the cuttings of Bougainvillea to take root.

8. Transplant the rooted bougainvillea into a flowerpot and place it in a cool and ventilated place for 1 week. After 15 days, you can water it with some compound fertilizer. This will make the bougainvillea grow more vigorously!

Put a handful of sand at the bottom of the pot, and the flowers will not rot for 10 years!

The biggest fear when growing flowers is root rot. Large grains of sand are very water-permeable and breathable. Putting some sand at the bottom of the pot can effectively prevent root rot.

Steps:

1. Use a sieve to sift the sand, keep the large particles and set the fine sand aside for later use.

2. Continuously wash the remaining coarse sand with clean water to remove the fine sand and impurities on the coarse sand to avoid clogging the gaps and causing a decrease in water permeability and air permeability. When clear water appears during washing, it means it is clean.

3. Pour boiling hot water into the clean coarse sand, blanch it about 3-5 times, then take it out and dry it in the sun. Sand that has been scalded with hot water can kill bacteria and disinfect, prevent the growth of moss, and prevent the sand from sticking to the inner wall of the flowerpot, causing uneven laying on the bottom of the pot.

4. Spread coarse sand on the bottom of the pot, then cover it with nutrient soil, and you can use it to grow flowers directly. Large grains of sand are placed at the bottom of the pot to make it loose and breathable, so that the roots of the flowers will never rot again!

5. Don't throw away the remaining fine sand. Mix it directly with the potting soil and use it when potting the flowers. You can use peat soil, garden soil and sand in a ratio of 2:2:1. This can effectively prevent the soil from becoming compacted and thus prevent root rot.

1. Sprinkle a handful of sand on the surface of the basin, and no more bugs will be attracted!

As soon as spring arrives, many small insects begin to emerge. In the past few days, many flower lovers have reported to Huahua that there are many small black flies in their homes, so Huahua prepared to sprinkle a handful of sand on the surface of the pot!

Steps:

1. Soak the sand in a carbendazim solution for at least 2 hours to sterilize the sand and avoid various bacteria and germs, then place it in the sun to dry.

2. Spread a thin layer of sand on the surface of the pot. This will not only prevent small black flies and other insects from laying eggs on the surface of the pot, but also make it easier for water to penetrate when watering, so that the water will not splash out.

1. Pour a handful of sand into the pot and the soil will never become compacted again!

If you keep flowers at home for a long time, or if you don't change the pots for a long time, it is easy for the soil to become compacted and water will not be able to penetrate into them. Over time, the roots will not be able to breathe and will rot.

Steps:

1. If you find that the soil is particularly compacted, be sure to use a tool such as a small shovel to loosen the surface of the soil in the pot first.

2. Prepare a few unused straws and find some coarse sand with large particles.

3. Use a straw to poke a few small holes on the surface of the flower pot, and then insert the straw into it. The deeper the better.

4. Firm the soil next to the straw, then slowly pour coarse sand into the straw. Then pull out the straw and the sand will remain in the soil in the pot. Every time you water, water will slowly flow into the flowerpot through the sand column, thereby slowing down the compaction of the soil in the pot.

That’s all for today’s introduction to Huahua.
