He has been growing flowers for ten years without changing the pots, and the flowers bloom every year, just because he did this

Fertilization

The main reason for repotting flowers and plants is that the soil for potted flowers is limited. It won’t be long before the nutrients in the soil are consumed by the flowers and plants. Therefore, the flowers and plants need to be given new, fertile soil. If you can ensure the nutrients in the soil of flowers and plants, repotting is not so important.

Liquid Fertilizer

Liquid fertilizer can be purchased or made at home. Homemade liquid fertilizer is mainly a mixture of organic matter and water, which is sealed and fermented in the sun. It will take about two to three months to ferment successfully.

step:

1. Shred household kitchen waste. This kind of kitchen waste can be fruit peels, vegetable leaves, soy milk residue, leftover chicken bones, fish bones, bean cakes, peanut cakes, etc.

2. Find a clean, well-sealed bottle and put the shredded garbage in it.

3. Fill the bottle with water and place it in the sun for about 3 months to successfully ferment. If you want the fermentation to be faster, you can add some Gymboree fermentation agent (anaerobic).

Some people say that you can also add some rock sugar, white sugar or brown sugar, which can also play a certain fermentation role, but the effect is not as good as special leavening agents.

4. When using, take the upper clear liquid, dilute it at a ratio of 1:100 and then irrigate the roots.

Slow-release fertilizer

Slow-release fertilizer can release nutrients slowly without causing root burn, and is very suitable for flower lovers who do not like to fertilize frequently.

step:

1. Dig a small hole in the potting soil, about 5 or 6 cm deep.

Base fertilizer

The above two methods of fertilization are both considered top dressing. Flower lovers can also add some base fertilizer when potting.

3. After spreading another layer of soil, put the flower into the pot, gently shake the plant to fill the soil, and finally compact the soil with your hands.

Breathable

You can grow flowers for 10 years without changing the pots, and the most important thing is to keep the flowers from rotting for 10 years! Root rot is caused by the heavy stickiness of the soil, which makes it impossible for the roots of flowers and plants to breathe. Therefore, the most important thing to prevent root rot is to ensure that the soil is breathable!

Granular soil

To improve soil permeability, some water-insoluble particles need to be added to the soil, such as:

1. Vermiculite

2. Perlite

In addition, there are coal slag, Akadama soil, Kanuma soil, chlorite, diatomaceous earth, iridescent stone, coarse sand, Hyuga stone, etc.

It is worth noting that medical stone contains many trace elements needed for the growth of flowers and plants, so it can not only improve soil permeability, but also provide nutrients for flowers and plants.

The ratio of granular soil does not need to be too high. Generally, granular soil: nutrient soil = about 3:7 is enough. For flowers and plants with fleshy roots such as succulents and Clivia, the ratio can be adjusted to 4:6 or 1:1.

Clay

In addition to granular soil, it is best to put a layer of expanded clay or broken bricks at the bottom of the flowerpot when growing flowers to prevent water accumulation and root rot.

Free planting material

In addition to the purchased granular soil and expanded clay, there are some things that can be found everywhere in life that are suitable for making soil. They not only improve the air permeability of the soil, but also save money and are convenient.

1. Pine Needle Soil

Pine needle soil is the soil under the pine tree. It is very fertile and loose, and is a good planting material for growing succulents and orchids. Pine trees can be found in many urban greening areas, and pine needle soil is also relatively easy to obtain.

2. Nutshell

Peanut shells, melon seed shells, pistachio shells...the shells of these oil crops are very suitable for making soil for Clivia. On the one hand, it is loose and breathable, and on the other hand, it can slowly decompose to provide nutrients for Clivia.

Soil compaction

In the process of growing flowers, the potting soil may gradually become saline and alkaline due to watering and other reasons, causing the soil to become compacted, reducing the gaps in the soil and making it difficult to water thoroughly. At this time, the roots of flowers and plants are also prone to rot.

prevention

1. Use pure water to water the flowers

Soil compaction is mainly caused by watering flowers with tap water. Tap water contains a lot of calcium and magnesium ions, which will remain in the soil during watering and will cause soil salinity and alkaline compaction over time. Using purified water to water the flowers can perfectly avoid this problem.

2. Planting flowers in leaf mold

To prevent the soil from becoming saline-alkali, you can use slightly acidic soil when planting flowers from the beginning. Generally, leaf mold, pine needle soil, etc. are acidic, which are very suitable for southern flowers such as gardenia, camellia, and jasmine.

deal with

When the soil has become saline and alkaline, you can use some small methods to alleviate it.

1. Rice vinegar

Rice vinegar is slightly acidic. When watering flowers, you can add a few drops of rice vinegar to the water to adjust the pH value of the soil.

2. Alum fertilizer water

When applying liquid fertilizer to flowers and plants, you can use alum fertilizer water, which is a slightly acidic liquid fertilizer. It is made by mixing ferrous sulfate, cake fertilizer and water in a ratio of 1:5:100 and then sealing and fermenting.

3. Rice washing water

Rice water is also slightly acidic. Using rice water when watering flowers can not only adjust the pH value of the soil, but also serve as liquid fertilizer to provide nutrients for flowers and plants.

4. Soil salt and alkali compaction generally concentrates on the surface of the potting soil. After the soil becomes compacted, scrape off the surface soil that does not touch the root system and replace it with loose and fertile soil. The compaction will be alleviated a lot.

In fact, as long as you handle the potting soil well,

Keep the soil loose and fertile.

Growing flowers without changing pots is no longer a dream!
