What are the benefits of incorporating perlite into the soil of potted flowers?

Perlite. It is a mineral, a kind of perlite sand that expands at high temperatures instantaneously. Its internal structure resembles honeycomb-shaped white particles.

It can contain minerals and is good for plant roots. Ordinary perlite has a certain amount of water absorption, and it is mixed in the flower and grass soil to increase water permeability, which is what we call loose soil, so that our soil structure can maintain the normal circulation and exchange of water, fertilizer, and air.

If garden soil and perlite are used directly, the potting soil will not harden and the permeability of the potting soil will also improve after mixing it in a ratio of 1:1. Its role is equivalent to the river sand that Xiao Qi often says.

Deployment of particles and soil, but river sand is heavy, perlite is different, and it is light. If we grow large potted plants.

Perlite is very good. The interior of perlite has a porous honeycomb structure. It has a certain grasping capacity for the capillary roots of plants. It can directly grasp the perlite, to which the perlite can attach, and the root tips of the capillary roots of plants can absorb water and nutrients from the perlite.

Perlite can make plant roots grow quickly in potting soil, increasing soil permeability. Water and fertilizer are good for us and can effectively lock in water and nutrients. Lock-in allows for long-term** plant growth.

Soil hardening has a great impact on plant growth. The addition of perlite can make the soil more breathable and prevent it from hardening. Plant roots can grow and spread in basin soils, growing better.

Perlite, an insecticide used during plant growth, can also be diluted directly to prevent an overdose of the drug from affecting plant growth.

Perlite is suitable for acidic plants, not alkaline plants. Although perlite has many functions, it does not contain any nutrients, so it should not be used alone to raise flowers. Its particles are large, and direct use is not conducive to the growth of plant roots.

It is generally used to stir the soil, and should not be added too much when stirring the soil. Make sure to clean before use, especially used perlite. Try to disinfect it before use, otherwise residual bacteria can infect the new plant.

It can increase the air permeability of the soil, promote the drainage of the soil, make the soil more stable, and increase the fertility of the soil. The quality of the soil can be relatively stable.

It can absorb various elements, has the effect of breathability, can also promote the growth of plant roots, has the effect of storing water, and can also prevent soil compaction.

To grow flowers and plants, you can use river sand instead of perlite, which has strong air permeability and river sand. Perlite and river sand enhance the permeability and drainage of the soil, and cherry blossoms are good for the growth of flowers and plants. When planting flowers, it is important to note that the soil needs to be disinfected to avoid bacterial infection.

Perlite is a vitreous rock, divided into perlite, turpentine and obsidian, and the material is relatively hard. Perlite has a beautiful appearance, the color is yellow-white or yellow-red, and the air permeability is good, and it is commonly used to grow flowers and plants. The main function of perlite is to increase the air permeability of the soil, and river sand can be used to replace perlite for growing flowers and plants.

River sand is a crushed stone formed by the repeated impact of river water, and its shape is relatively smooth, mostly fine granular. River sand, also known as plain sandy soil, has good air permeability and is suitable for preparation with fine loam and clayey soil. After the river sand is mixed with fine loam, it can enhance the air permeability and drainage of loam, which is conducive to plant growth.

River sand is relatively clean and has good air permeability, but river sand has no fertility. In the process of soil preparation, if you want to make the soil fertile, you can apply basal fertilizer or mix it with soil with high fertility capacity. The humus soil is rich in nutrients, the fertility of the pastoral soil is relatively high, the air permeability is poor, and the river sand can be mixed with the pastoral soil and humus.

When planting flowers and plants, it should be noted that the prepared soil needs to be disinfected, otherwise the plant will be easily infected with bacteria in the later growth. During the growth period, the soil needs to be loosened from time to time to avoid soil compaction. When the soil fertility is insufficient, it is necessary to change the soil in time to provide sufficient nutrients for flowers and plants to grow.

Perlite is a good substrate that can be used to raise flowers for many purposes.

1. It has a strong ability to absorb water, which can absorb excess water and reduce the impact of waterlogging on plants.

2. Secondly, it can also prevent soil compaction, and at the same time avoid plant lodging, which has a good fixing effect.

3. In addition, it can well control the efficiency of fertilizer and register, and its loose characteristics also help to dilute the fertilizer.

In the process of imitating cultivated flowers, I have always chosen the spraying of potassium dihydrogen phosphate in fertile leaves, which has wide applicability and good effect.

Perlite for raising flowers has the effect of fixing the root system of flowers.

Perlite has the characteristics of light density, low thermal conductivity, good chemical stability, wide range of operating temperatures, small moisture absorption, non-toxic, tasteless, fireproof, sound absorption, etc., and is widely used in a variety of industrial sectors.

The main components are massive, porous, pumice-like perlite, containing a small amount of petalite, quartz porphyry, microcrystalline and various forms of rudimentary crystals, cryptocrystalline minerals, hornblende and other arc-shaped cracks, the fracture is uneven, pearl luster, after weathering for oil luster, streaks white.

Perlite is a good substrate that can be used to raise flowers for many purposes. It has a strong ability to absorb water, which can absorb excess water and reduce the impact of waterlogging on plants. Secondly, it can also prevent soil compaction and avoid plant lodging, which has a good fixing effect.

In addition, it can control the fertilizer efficiency well, and the loose characteristics of the fertilizer itself also help to dilute the fertilizer.

Expanded perlite is mainly used as a thermal insulation material on the roof and wall of buildings, lightweight aggregate, soilless cultivation in agriculture and horticulture, soil improvement, water and fertilizer retention, etc. Expanded perlite is an inorganic mineral material with a wide range of uses, involving almost all fields.

Perlite has many small pores, and with this property, perlite pores retain a lot of water, and plant roots can penetrate deep into the perlite substrate to absorb nutrients. Perlite is a very good medium for potted flower farming. It has the effect of soil transformation, regulating soil compaction, and maintaining the normal exchange of water, gas and fertilizer; In the potting soil, different proportions are added according to the variety of flowers.

Common succulent, pothos and other green plants that need good air permeability are cultivated.

Perlite can transform soils, regulate soil compaction, prevent crop lodging, control fertilizer efficiency and fertility, and act as a diluent and carrier for pesticides and herbicides.

Purpose: Soil modification, regulation of soil compaction, prevention of crop lodging, control of fertilizer efficiency and fertility, as well as as diluent and carrier of pesticides and herbicides.

Perlite is a volcanic eruption, acidic lava, a vitreous rock that has been sharply cooled to form a vitreous rock, so named for its pearly fissure structure. Perlite mines include perlite, obsidian, and turpentinite. The difference between the three is that perstone has arc-shaped cracks formed by condensation, called perlite structure, and the water content is 2 6%; Turpentinite has a unique turpentine luster, with a water content of 6 10%; Obsidian has a vitreous luster and shell-like fractures, and the water content is generally less than 2%.

Perlite raw sand can be used as filler in rubber and plastic products, pigments, paints, inks, synthetic glass, heat-insulating bakelite and some mechanical components and equipment after fine crushing and ultra-fine crushing.

Perlite expands to become a lightweight, multifunctional new material. It has the characteristics of light apparent density, low thermal conductivity, good chemical stability, wide range of operating temperatures, small moisture absorption, non-toxic, odorless, fireproof, sound-absorbing, etc., and is widely used in a variety of industrial sectors.

Acidic soil plants are suitable for adding perlite to the soil, such as masson pine, spruce, fir, larch, etc. Because perlite is an acidic substance.

1. The role of perstone in agriculture, forestry and horticulture

Soil modification, regulating soil compaction, preventing crop lodging, controlling fertilizer efficiency and fertility, and as a diluent and carrier for pesticides and herbicides.

Second, the quality requirements of perlite:

1. The glass is pure, the transparency is good, and the light color is mostly high-quality.

2. There is no or slight devitrification effect, and the serious one is inferior.

3. It does not contain or contains less crystalline matter, and the content is inferior.

4. Chemical composition: SiO2 70%, H20 4 6%, Fe2O3<1% for high quality, >1% for medium and low quality.

In home gardening, how to choose how to match the planting material is very important, when the novice first came into contact, because there are too many kinds of planting materials and do not know how to match, in the case of not understanding the role of planting materials, it is very difficult to raise good plants, so we understand the types and functions of commonly used planting materials one by one.

Most plants do. Perlite is relatively light in quality, porous so it has good air permeability, and it does not absorb water so it has good drainage, which is suitable for planting all kinds of plants that need drainage and ventilation media, and it is also a good medium for soilless cultivation, and it can also be used for cuttings that are not easy to take root. Because perlite will be pulverized for a long time, so do not add more (cuttings belong to a short period of plant vegetative reproduction, after rooting to be potted, it does not matter), generally in the whole pot of cultivation medium should not exceed 20%, in order to prevent long-term planting pulverization, resulting in poor drainage and air permeability of pot soil, affecting the growth of plant roots.

Horticultural perlite acts as follows in flower soil:

1. Loosen the internal structure of the substrate to maintain the normal exchange of water, gas and fertilizer;

2. Reduce the bulk density, which is convenient for transportation and transplanting;

3. Maintain the stable structure of the matrix.

Taking advantage of the porous characteristics of perlite, the root system of crops penetrates deep into the perlite matrix to absorb nutrients, and the pores of perlite can retain a large amount of water and nutrients to supply the growth needs of crops for a long time.

When planting flowers and plants suitable for growing in soft and breathable soil, an appropriate amount of perlite can be added to improve the air permeability of the potting soil. Perlite itself is an acidic substance, and it is necessary to choose flowers that prefer an acidic soil environment to avoid the condition that the plant does not grow quickly. Due to the light weight of perlite, it is necessary to lay its beams and spikes on the bottom layer of the pot, and if it is laid on the surface, it needs to be entered in time before the wind comes.

Flowers that require perlite.

When planting flowers and plants suitable for growing in soft soil and strong air permeability, perstone needs to be matched in the process of soil matching. Because perlite has strong water absorption, it can allow excess water to be absorbed as soon as possible, avoiding waterlogging and damage to the root system of plants. For example, common gardenias, pothos, rhododendrons and a variety of plants can be matched with perlite when mixing soil.

Perlite itself is an acidic substance, and when using perlite to raise flowers, it is necessary to choose flowers that are suitable for growing in acidic soil to promote the growth of plants. If it is used to plant flowers and plants that like weak alkalinity, it will make the soil alkaline aggravated, and the overall air permeability will be poor, so that the plant will have yellow leaves and rotten leaves.

In addition, the weight of perlite is lighter, when used to raise flowers, it needs to be laid on the ground layer of the pot, and then covered with a layer of film, if it is covered on the surface of the soil, it is necessary to pay attention to the invasion of strong winds, and when the wind speed is high, it is necessary to transfer the potted plants to indoor maintenance in time, so as not to blow the perlite away by strong winds.

Note that when using perlite, it is necessary to strictly control the dosage, not to mix too much perlite into the soil, if the perlite content in the nutrient soil exceeds the standard, it will lead to excessive acidity of the soil, and the nutrients will be reduced accordingly, which will cause damage to the root system of the plant and affect the normal growth of flowers and plants.

The main role of perlite in flower soil is to stabilize, store water, and prevent soil compaction.

By adding an appropriate amount of perlite to the soil, the plant can better absorb the Valeant element, the soil will be more breathable, and the plant roots can spread and grow in the soil.

Because it is absorbent, even if you forget to water it for a period of time during the winter, the plant can absorb water from the perlite, and it is not easy to dry up and die.

The role of perlite:

1. Stability: When raising flowers, add perlite appropriately, the soil quality will be relatively stable, which can help plants better absorb trace elements, so that they will grow more vigorously.

2. Water storage: perstone has good water absorption, when perlite absorbs water, it will store 3-4 times the amount of water, especially during the winter, it can keep the soil moist, even if it is not watered for a period of time, the plant will not dry up due to lack of water. Perlite has a honeycomb structure inside, which is porous, which can grasp the capillary roots of plants, coupled with its water absorption, plant capillary roots can absorb the water and nutrients of perlite.

3. Anti-compaction: soil compaction has a great impact on plant growth, adding perlite can make the soil more breathable, prevent soil compaction, and plant roots can grow and spread in the potting soil, and the growth will be better. In addition, perlite, an insecticide used during plant growth, can also be directly diluted to avoid the impact of excess drugs on plant growth.

Precautions: Perlite is suitable for acid-loving plants, not alkaline plants. Although perlite has many functions, it does not have any nutrients, so do not use it alone to raise flowers, and its particles are very large, which directly makes the spine not conducive to the growth of plant roots.

In addition, make sure it is clean before use, especially the used perlite, and try to disinfect it before using it, otherwise the residual germs will infect the new plant.
