How to prepare soil for Desert Rose? What soil is best for planting?

1. How to prepare soil

1. Desert rose cannot tolerate a watery and humid growing environment, so you must be careful when preparing the soil and do not use heavy and compacted soil. Humus, river sand and expanded clay can be mixed in a certain proportion to increase permeability, provide nutrients for plant growth and help root growth.

2. There are many ways to prepare soil. You can also prepare some cleanly burned coal slag and then mix it with vermiculite, perlite, peat ash, etc. This kind of soil has sufficient nutrients and is very suitable for the growth of desert rose. When choosing coal ash, be careful not to choose one that is not fully burned.

3. You can also choose river sand as a loose material, add expanded clay, organic fertilizer, etc. The substrate with good permeability can be suitable for the growth of the root system.

4. You can also use garden soil as the main soil, then add a small amount of river sand and mix in a little organic fertilizer. This will increase nutrients while also increasing the air permeability of the soil.

2. What kind of soil is best?

For the growth of Desert Rose, the soil needs to meet the following conditions: it must be permeable and relatively breathable to facilitate the breathing of the roots; it also needs to have good drainage to allow the accumulated water to drain out and contain sufficient nutrients.
