plant ashWood ash is the ashes left from burning crops or flowers. It can supplement potassium fertilizer, prevent root rot, heal wounds, promote rooting, and keep warm... It is simply a magic tool for growing flowers!How to grow flowers with wood ash? 1. Wound sterilization Wood ash has bactericidal and anti-inflammatory effects. When pruning roots, pruning branches and cuttings, you can apply some wood ash on the wounds, which can sterilize and reduce inflammation of the wounds and prevent black rot, root rot and black stems.2. Supplement potassium fertilizer. Wood ash is rich in potassium fertilizer. When mixed with other soil, it can supplement potassium for flowers, making the flowers grow brighter and the fruits larger. 3. Promote root growth. Mixing wood ash in the soil can also accelerate the healing of wounds of flower roots or cuttings, and promote root germination and growth. After mixing wood ash evenly with the soil, it can be used directly to grow flowers, but the proportion of wood ash should not exceed 1/5. Note: You can also spread wood ash directly on the surface of the potting soil, but wood ash is too light and cannot withstand the wind. It is best to press a layer of soil on the wood ash. Medical StoneMedical stone is used by many succulent fans around Huahua. The succulents grown with it are not prone to root rot, and they are all round and cute. In fact, medical stone can not only be used for succulents, but also other flowers. It can not only supplement the flowers with potassium, sodium, magnesium, phosphorus and other major elements of flowers, but also contains 18 trace elements such as copper, iodine, iron, zinc, selenium and strontium, and it can also loosen and purify the water. It’s really a magical tool for growing flowers!How to grow flowers with medical stone? 1. Medical stone as paving soil for succulents can be used as paving soil for succulents. Spread a layer of medical stone about 0.5-1 cm thick on the top of the potting soil for succulents. The particle diameter can be large, such as 4-6mm. When watering, the nutrients in the medical stone will penetrate into the soil along with the water and supplement the succulents, making your succulents grow faster, stronger and more beautiful than others! In addition, medical stone is heavier than other paving soils and will not be washed away during watering. Moreover, medical stone paving can remove odors, prevent bacteria growth, and prevent root rot. 2. Purify water quality. There are many gaps on the surface of medical stone, and its adsorption capacity is particularly strong, so it can absorb impurities such as bleaching powder, heavy metals, chlorine, harmful microorganisms, etc. in tap water, and play a role in purifying water quality. Long-term use of water purified by medical stone for watering flowers can not only make the flower roots strong and the leaves lush, the flowers large and colorful, but also enhance the flowers' resistance to diseases, insects and frost. Therefore, before watering, you can put the water into a plastic bucket, sprinkle a handful of medical stone in the water, put it on the balcony, and use the water to water the flowers after 2-3 days. 3. Loose and breathable medical stone can also be mixed into the soil to make it loose and breathable, reducing the chance of root rot of flowers. The particle diameter of medical stone can be selected to be 3-5mm. sandSand is very common and is a very good material for growing flowers. Its roots will never rot when mixed with soil. It is also the preferred substrate for cuttings and anything can grow. Spreading it on the surface of the pot can also effectively prevent mosquitoes. It is really useful! Sand larger than 0.5mm is coarse sand, which can be used for paving and soil mixing, while sand smaller than 0.5mm is fine sand, which can be used for cuttings.(Author: Ermu Huahuanan) 1. Mix coarse sand into the soil to prevent root rot 1. Sand has excellent water permeability, so if you want to grow flowers without root rot, you must mix some sand into the soil, especially coarse sand with particle diameter greater than 0.5mm, and mix it with peat soil, garden soil, etc. to form a lot of gaps, which can allow excess water to drain quickly and avoid root rot. 2. If you want to prevent the roots of any flower from rotting, you have to add some sand. Huahua recommends to you the soil preparation plans for most flowers, which all contain sand! Succulent plants: river sand: peat soil: perlite: vermiculite = 0.5:2:0.5:2 Herbaceous plants: river sand: garden soil: compost: wood ash = 2:4:4:1. Foliage plants: river sand: humus soil: garden soil = 2:4:4 Large plants: coarse sand: garden soil: decomposed organic fertilizer = 2:6:2 2. Spread coarse sand on the surface of the pot to prevent mosquitoes. It is easy to attract insects when growing flowers in summer, which is really annoying. Later, Huahua’s second aunt told Huahua a good method, which is to spread a layer of sand on the surface of the pot to block the contact between the insects and the soil. The insects cannot lay eggs in the soil, and the insects really disappear! 3. Fine sand makes cuttings take root quickly. Sand is also one of the best substrates for cuttings, especially for cuttings of woody plants such as roses, gardenias, jasmine, bougainvillea, and figs. Flowers can take root 100% if they are cut in sand. But there is a tip: no matter whether it is sand from the street, sand from a construction site, or sand on the river beach, you can use it after taking it home and washing it.
