How to loosen the soil for a peace thyme tree

1. Why do we need to loosen the soil?

1. Increase the air permeability of the potting soil

As we all know, its roots buried in the soil also need to breathe, which also requires air. If the soil is not loosened for a long time, it will become very compact, making it difficult for air to enter. The plants will not be able to breathe and will not be able to grow well.

2. Increase the nutrient supply capacity of the potting soil

Speaking of this, many friends may not understand it very well. Loosening the soil does not add any new nutrients, so why can it increase the ability of flower soil to supply nutrients? In fact, it is very simple, because there are many microorganisms active in the soil. They will decompose the substances in the soil and produce energy substances to supply the peace lily, allowing it to grow more healthily. Loosening the soil can increase their activity and provide more nutrients for our peace thyme trees.
