Can succulents be raised with fine river sand and garden soil particles?

Some meat friends who have just entered the pit do not know much about the habits of succulents, or do not know how long they can raise them, so they usually have the attitude of saving and saving for succulent potting soil, and do not want to buy granular soil online, nor do they want to mix the soil themselves, so they go directly to get some garden soil, river sand and cinder and other media to mix and start raising.

This was the case when I first entered the pit, but with the time of maintenance, all the succulent potting soil is now completely adjusted to my own granular soil. Why do I want to change all the succulents? Because the advantages of using granular soil are obvious, as far as the ruby in the picture is taken as an example, in the case of not changing the granular soil before, when it rains for a long time in autumn (it has been almost two months intermittently), its leaves cannot be so red at all, and it will basically be in the form of "emerald".

It's not impossible to use garden soil and river sand to grow succulents, like some of the more leathery varieties, such as mages, golden branches and jade leaves, and jade trees, etc., it is no problem at all, and I have even seen succulent greenhouses directly use the soil in the field to plant mages, and as long as the maintenance environment is well ventilated, they can also grow very well. Of course, it would be better if you could replace the river sand with coarse river sand particles and add a small amount of cinder, at least in the summer, without fear of their roots being stuffy.

In addition, it is a very good choice to plant jade butterflies with garden soil and river sand, because its habits are more special, if you use granular soil to plant, although the state will be better, but it is very easy to black rot in the case of high temperature in summer.

What if there aren't so many jade ornaments? You don't have to spend money to buy itThe propagation of jade ornament is particularly simple, cut a branch and insert it in the soil, and it will soon grow into a new plant, in addition, the survival rate of jade leaf cuttings is also relatively high, and the leaf cuttings may be multi-headed, but the growth rate will be much slower than that of the jade ornament from the branches. There are generally three types of jade embellishments:

Jade embellishment. New jade embellishment. Jade brocade, no matter what kind of maintenance method is basically the same.

This can be said together, because these sandy soils are very beneficial for the growth of plants.

Of course, you can, because the succulents I raise are cultivated from the soil pellets of the fine river sand vegetable garden, and now my succulents are growing very well.

OK. Succulents do not have high soil requirements, they can grow even without soil, and as long as there is a certain amount of moisture, they can quickly grow red roots.

Fine river sand. It can be mixed with soil to raise more meat, but the amount added for raising more meat should not be too much.

River sand can also be used to raise succulents with soil, but it is not the best match with garden soil, and is only suitable for raising some varieties that are not strict with soil requirements, such as jade trees.

Jade Butterfly, Mage, Winter Beauty, Ji Haoyue, etc. Succulents.

In addition to good drainage and air permeability, the cultivation substrate also needs to contain certain mineral particles, which can increase the air permeability of the root system while supplementing some mineral trace elements.

It is more conducive to the coloring and state of succulents.

River sand and garden soil are combined with soil to raise succulents, and there are these precautions:

1. Although river sand has a certain air permeability and water retention, the organic matter content is low, and the amount added is not easy to be too much, so it is advisable not to exceed 30% of the total amount of soil.

2. Garden soil in a broad sense generally refers to garden soil and vegetable garden soil, but its soil fertilizer efficiency is not the same under different cultivation frequencies.

3. There is no vegetable garden soil, and it can also be replaced by deciduous soil, pine needle soil, and sandy loam soil outside the user.

Potted plants such as aloe vera that are not strict with the soil.

4. Loose and fertile garden soil can be matched with a small amount of river sand for planting succulents, generally according to 7:3 for soil blending, if you can add some briquettes and organic fertilizer for improving soil structure, the effect is better.

Whether fine river sand can be mixed with garden soil and pellets to raise succulents mainly depends on the succulent varieties we want to raise, as well as the proportion of particles in the soil. If we use the soil of fine river sand + garden soil + particles to raise the mage, there must be no problem, after all, the mage is not very picky about the soil, and many meat friends can raise the mage very well directly with the garden soil. I've seen the mage of greenhouse planting before, usually garden soil + river sand, not even particles, although our maintenance environment is not as good as succulent greenhouses, but adding particles into the soil is not a big problem.

Use fine river sand + garden soil + granular soil to raise the mage, mainly for the open hanging area and outdoor open environment, balcony party and other non-open environment, I suggest that it is best to use sedum succulent granular soil will be better, otherwise the maintenance environment ventilation conditions are poor and the soil is not breathable, the mage is prone to stuffy roots and fallen leaves and rotten roots and black rot in the process of maintenance. Especially in the southern region, when it comes to the rainy season or summer, the air is very hot and the weather is very hot.

In addition, even if it is an outdoor open environment, when we use the soil distribution method of fine river sand + garden soil + particles to raise the mage, the proportion of particles must not be less than 50%, if it is the southern region, it is recommended that the proportion of particles is higher, otherwise the mage will not be able to spend the summer. In addition, if we can screen the river sand and use coarse river sand to mix the soil, then the soil matching method will be more reasonable. Of course, if the conditions allow us to replace the garden soil in the recipe with humus soil, then even if it is a non-open environment such as a balcony, it is okay to raise a mage.

Fine river sand + garden soil + granular sedum is not a good idea, although there is no problem with sedum succulent feeding in the open environment, but it is too risky to spend summer in summer, and it is not easy to color out of the positive plum state in autumn and winter. The permeability and drainage of the garden soil itself are not good, and then mixed with the finer river sand, in addition to some general varieties of very solid in summer, other sedum is basically difficult to withstand, a little more watering may appear to turn water black rot.

And this way of soil distribution in autumn and winter because it is too water-retaining, sedum is fleshy and not easy to color, if they are green all year round, I believe the subject also feels bored, so I suggest that the subject is best to use granular soil to raise sedum multi-ridge clear finger meat will be better.

Fine river sand can be mixed with soil to raise more than one meat, but the amount added for raising more meat should not be too much. River sand can also be used to raise succulents with soil, but it is not the best match with garden soil, and is only suitable for raising a larger type of varieties with less strict soil requirements, such as: Yushu, Jade Butterfly, Mage, Winter Beauty, Ji Haoyue, etc.

Succulents are easy to grow and rot their roots when they are waterlogged, and the cultivation substrate also needs to contain certain mineral particles, which is more conducive to the color and state of succulents by adding some mineral trace elements while increasing or losing the air permeability of the root system.

When mixing succulent soil, to ensure that the granular soil has strong air permeability and drainage capacity, you can choose to use humus and coarse sand according to the ratio of pure Mengheng 3:7 to prepare, you can also choose to use coconut pea, perlite, vermiculite according to 2:1:

1 ratio to prepare, can also be made to choose to use maifan stone, vegetable garden soil and green zeolite to prepare, and then put in a sunny place to expose to the sun.

Succulent granular soil requirements.

The biggest requirement of succulent granular soil is to have a strong drainage ability, because the succulent itself can store a lot of water, even in an arid environment, it can survive for a long time, but if the granular soil is in a humid state for a long time, it will cause a large amount of water to be unable to absorb, resulting in root rot.

How to match succulent granular soil.

1. Configure the soil

When mixing succulent soil, to ensure that the granular soil has strong air permeability and drainage capacity, you can choose to use humus and coarse sand in accordance with the ratio of 3:7, or you can choose to use coconut bran, perlite, vermiculite according to 2:1:

1 ratio to prepare, you can also choose to use maifan stone, vegetable garden soil and green zeolite to prepare.

2. Disinfection and sterilization

After the succulent granular soil configuration is completed, it is necessary to pay attention to disinfection, and then put it in a place with strong sunlight to expose it to the sun, so that the succulent plant is planted in the granular soil, it can grow better, otherwise it is prone to pests and diseases.

Precautions for the preparation of granular soil.

In the process of use, granular soil is easy to cause soil compaction due to powder or soaking powder, and the strong adsorption of granular soil itself and the special structure such as internal void pores and layer structure are easy to condense together with peat and humus, which also causes soil compaction, resulting in the inability of roots to grow, so it is necessary to pay attention to regular repotting.

How to mix succulent soil and how to add granular soil can be a good maintenance of succulents.

Granular soil and succulent soil!

There are soft and hard granular soils.

Soft granular soil: coconut bran, fine river sand, hard granular soil: volcanic rock, red jade soil, deer swamp soil, maifan stone, burned coal, pearl crest, etcNutrient soil: peat, humus, garden, peat.

Succulent soil is generally made of granular soil and nutrient soil according to the situation.

Succulent soil configuration and granular soil use!

Normal maintenance of succulents, you can use the succulent soil directly, there is no need to mix other granular soil.

Succulent soil configuration:

Coarse and fine coir perlite is configured 7 to 3, and small seedlings add 50% nutrient soil.

Large plants add about 20 percent of the nutrient soil, the old pile needs to be controlled and maintained, and the novice can add less than 30 percent, and the control of the old pile is recommended not to add nutrient soil, and the rainwater and slow-release fertilizer are used instead.

Granular soil can be used for paving!

Normal succulent soil has been mixed with granular soil, so there is no need for additional use.

Granular soil is used alone, and is recommended for underpins and paving, which can increase air permeability and effectively prevent succulents from getting stuffy.

Succulent soil is carefully proportioned!

Old pile: coarse and fine coir perlite 7:3 configuration.

Small seedlings: nutrient soil plus perlite 7:3 configuration.

Succulent soil: peat soil Perlite 7:3 configuration.

Paving stone recommendation: volcanic rock, it can have the ability to prevent bacterial infection!

Full granular soil configuration: directly use vitality soil, another method, more than six kinds of granular soil 1 to 1 configuration, full granular soil is only suitable for Apricot family or old pile succulent.

Yes, cultivating succulents requires loose and breathable, well-drained, humus-rich soil, so it is more appropriate to use a particle map, which is conducive to the ventilation of its roots.

I think it is best to use granular soil to raise succulents, because granular soil can protect the root system of succulents, and the succulents raised are more beautiful and the leaves are more colorful.

About succulent plant soil, we all know that its root system is mostly capillary roots, not too thick taproot, so the soil must be equipped with good air permeability soil, some flower friends will choose to use pure granular soil cultivation, we know that pure granular soil is no nutrients at all, if you want to use pure granular soil to cultivate, you must fertilize to keep up, otherwise it will lack nutrients It will appear stiff seedlings do not grow. Cultivating succulents is very simple in the family, half of the soil granular soil can be used, half of the granules and half of the nutrient soil, so that the soil permeability is very good, and there is no lack of nutrients, and the later growth will not be weakened. Particles we can use cinder, volcanic rock, iridescent stone and river sand particles to replace, all are OK, the particles do not need to be too big or too small, in general, 3 6 mm particles are very suitable.

After such soil is adjusted, the succulents will not be rotten in the watering of the succulents, how should they be watered in general? Succulent watering is very simple, if we want it to grow, watering it according to the pot soil dry directly to water it on the line, so that it will not hurt the root system, you can get enough water under the premise of not lack of water, direct rapid growth, if you want to control the state of cultivation, it is also very simple, when the pot soil is completely dry, and the leaves at the bottom are slightly soft, we go to water it thoroughly, so that its root system has not been completely dry due to water loss, After watering, it can quickly absorb the water, and gradually restore the leaves, after the leaves are restored, the potting soil is in a relatively dry environment, so that it will not grow quickly, and it is easy to empty the state.

Raising succulents is very simple and simple, as long as you want it to grow, water the potting soil dry and water thoroughly, regularly supplement fertilizer 1 2 times a month, choose a high nitrogen content, and other elements are not missing, such as the 10th flower, and then put it in the most sunny place, it can grow quickly, but there is a little prerequisite, the temperature should not be lower than 10 degrees as much as possible, if the temperature is too low, it will cause it to be in a dormant state. If you want it to get out of the state quickly, don't water it too often, and then put it in the most sunny place, the fertilizer is supplemented with fertilizer with high potassium content, and once a month to supplement him, his state can grow quickly, and it will become very beautiful, which is the most basic way to raise succulents.
