Leaf mold introductionLeaf mold, also known as humus soil, is a nutrient soil formed by the decomposition and fermentation of plant branches and leaves by microorganisms in the soil. Leaf mold ingredientsPure leaf mold is formed by decomposition and fermentation by fungi, so it has a high fiber content. Leaf mold can be used as mulch for certain trees and shrubs, and can also be mixed into garden soil because it activates the microorganisms that plants need for healthy growth. Characteristics of leaf moldadvantageFirst, the leaf humus soil is light and loose, with good water permeability and ventilation performance; Second, leaf mold has strong water and fertilizer retention capabilities, and its fertility lasts longer; Third, leaf mold is porous and will not harden after long-term application, making it easy for plants to absorb. Fourth, leaf mold mixed with other soils can improve the soil and increase soil fertility; Fifth, leaf mold is rich in organic matter, humic acid and a small amount of vitamins, growth hormones, trace elements, etc., which can promote plant growth and development; Sixth, the high temperature during the full fermentation of leaf mold can eliminate harmful bacteria to a certain extent, and there is no odor. shortcomingFirst, leaf mold is prone to cause root rot due to poor water control; Second, there are bacteria in the leaf mold directly taken, so it is best to disinfect it before use. Suitable plants for leaf moldLoose and non-compacted leaf mold can make the plants grow better. Chlorophytum, green ivy, snake plant and other household flowers can use leaf mold as growing soil. Some flowers, such as orchids and azaleas, can be cultivated directly with leaf mold. Leaf mold used for flower sowing and seedling raising can effectively improve the germination rate and accelerate the growth and development of seedlings. It is an ideal cultivation soil for flower cultivation. |
