What kind of soil is usually used for growing flowers?

1. Peat soil

There are many people selling peat soil in the flower market. This kind of soil is rich in nutrients and has large gaps in the soil, so it has good air permeability. When using this kind of soil to grow flowers, the soil will not easily become compacted.

2. Leaf mold

This kind of soil is mostly found under trees in the forest. After the fallen leaves are corroded by rainwater, they will become leaf mold through natural decomposition and fermentation. Leaf mold has good air permeability and drainage effects, and is also very fertile. However, it contains a large amount of bacteria and insect eggs, so it must be disinfected before being used to grow flowers.

3. Pine Needle Soil

Its production principle is similar to that of leaf mold, and it is also formed after a long period of fermentation. Its water retention capacity is not very good, but its breathability is also very good. Not only that, it also has a good insect repellent effect.

4. Coconut bran

If you want to increase the air permeability of the cultivation soil, you can also buy some coconut bran, which is a relatively breathable and soft cultivation medium. But it cannot be used alone because it contains little nutrition. It is best used in combination with other soils.
