What soil should I use for potted flowers? How should it be watered?

The purpose of changing flowers into pots is to make the roots of the plants smoother and absorb nutrients from the pots, but one premise is that the plants have healthy roots. Moreover, we usually cut off part of the roots of the plant when we change the flowers into pots.

The flowering world suggests that when changing the water, it is enough to use moisture to ensure a moist environment for the roots, and it can be watered normally after a week or so. Some flower lovers will say that, according to other authors, the plant did not die after sprinkling the roots. What I'm trying to say is that when you pass by a gunpowder factory with a torch and find that there is no **, you will say it's okay to hold a torch.

Actually, your life is big.

Water the pots after changing the soil. Whether it's a pot for a small sapling or a dry heart for a big sapling, the purpose of watering is actually the most important point in my opinion. That is, let the soil sink and be in better contact with the roots.

Otherwise, there will be a large gap between the roots, resulting in the phenomenon of the roots being hanged. This kind of problem is not easy to appear on grass flowers such as Yuexi, but on the flowers of fleshy roots, which have a relatively poor absorption capacity. If the silt is not in sufficient contact with the roots, for example, there is a large gap between the roots, and the phenomenon of empty roots will occur, and the roots will be dug up to find that the roots are empty, not the fat ones.

That's why the root is empty. Therefore, it is especially recommended to pat the pot while adding soil when planting orchids or peonies, so that the temperament and roots are fully in contact. In addition, the seedlings should be shaken so that the roots can fill the gaps between the roots, so that only large gaps can be avoided, and there are many small gaps between the substrate particles after the soil is added.

Usually after we plant flowers, we will find that the hard soil has been squeezed after pouring water, and then it will sink a lot. At this time, bring the basin up.

So planting flowers, when changing pots, generally add soil, pound once with a small stick, put a little soil, fill it up, and then pat the pot wall again, form a circle, add water, on the other hand, let the temperament and roots be more contacted, usually in order to maintain, keep the temperament moist, the water is very bitter Some flower friends cut the moon season, after transplanting, like to press the soil like a big seedling, in fact, it is more inappropriate, I generally plant the seedlings well, and then gently press it, do not break the seedling root system, and then water it, the soil can sink naturally, the effect is very good, you can give it a try.

Due to the limited volume of potted flowers, only a small amount of soil can be contained, so the requirements for potting soil need to be more particular. In general, the potting soil should be moist, but not waterlogged, which is not only aeration and permeability, but also retains water and fertilizer. Due to the wide variety and different traits of potted flowers, they also have different soil requirements.

Many flowers are sensitive to the pH of the soil. Stones and gravel can be placed under the pot to facilitate soil aeration and drainage. Generally, when cultivating, a simple one is rarely used, and it is usually prepared with a mixture of several soils.

There is nothing particular about the soil used for potted flowers, just use ordinary soil. When watering, be sure to use cold water, and do not teach from top to bottom, but from the side.

The purpose of changing flowers into pots is to make the roots of plants smoother and absorb nutrients from the pots, because the volume of the pots is limited, only a small amount of soil can be filled, and when watering, the use of moisture to ensure that the roots are moist can be on it.

<>1. Pay attention to water quality.

The water quality is preferably clean fresh water without salt and alkali. Generally, it is better to water potted flowers with rain; If tap water is used, it should be stored for a certain period of time and then used after the chlorine in the water volatilizes; Well water contains various impurities and is generally not suitable for use, rice water, goldfish and other waste water can also be used to water potted flowers, laundry water containing soap or soap powder ingredients and oily dishwashing water, must not be used.

For camellias, rhododendrons, orchids, junzi orchids and other flowers that require acidic soil, it is necessary to pay more attention to water quality, otherwise the potting soil will become alkaline, resulting in poor plant growth.

2. Pay attention to the water temperature.

Do not water when there is a large difference between the soil temperature and the water temperature (or room temperature and water temperature). It can be done at the right time in the morning and evening, or the water temperature can be adjusted (usually pre-stored in the tank). When cold water is poured under the scorching sun, the plants immediately develop a "physiological drought", and the leaves quickly scorch.

3. Pay attention to the amount of watering.

In the practice of potted plants, people have summed up the watering experience of "nine more and nine less".

watering more herbs and less woody;

Tide-loving flowers are watered more, drought-loving flowers are watered less;

The leaves are large and soft, and the leaves are small and waxy, and the leaves are small;

Water more during the vigorous growth period and less water during the dormant period;

Water more seedlings with large pots and small pots, and water less with small seedlings and large pots;

more water on the balcony and less water in the courtyard;

The weather is hot and watered more, and the cold weather is less watered;

watering more on dry days and less on cloudy days;

Water more pregnant buds and less when flowering.

The so-called more staring at the calendar is less than the same conditions, in case of drought and dehydration, the branches and leaves wilt, to move to the shade first, add less water in the pot, spray a small amount of water on the foliage, and wait for the stems and leaves to stand up, and then water thoroughly. If you water directly and in large quantities, it will hurt the roots and lose the leaves.

In case of rainy weather, it is best to move the basin to a sheltered place under the corridor; If the pot has been waterlogged for a long time, the pot waterlogging, the plant with soil must be removed, put in a cool and ventilated place, quickly breathable, dissipate water, after 3-5 days to be restored and then potted. If it suddenly clears up after a long period of rain, woody flowers should be placed in a cool and ventilated place for 1-2 days before seeing daylight.

If it is rashly exposed to the sun, due to the poor ability of the roots to absorb water during this time, although the potting soil is very wet at this time, the branches and leaves will still lose water and dry up (called "waterlogging"), and even die.

If this has happened, immediately move the pot to a cool and ventilated place, cut off part of the shriveled branches, stop watering, and let it recover slowly.

4. Pay attention to the watering time.

Watering should be done during plant growth activities, but avoid exposure to the sun. Therefore, generally watering in winter should be after 9-10 a.m.; In summer, it should be before 8 a.m. and after 5 p.m. For plants exposed to direct sunlight, water them in the morning, otherwise they will wilt in less than the afternoon.

5. Master the principle of watering.

Most of the problems with potted flowers are caused by illegal watering. No matter what kind of potted flowers and trees are watered in any season, there must be a principle: "Water when you see dry, don't water if you don't dry, and water thoroughly when dry." ”

Under the condition that the flowers are not damaged by water shortage, the soil is usually safer and more reliable to retain less water than too much water, i.e. "dry rather than wet".

1. The water used for watering flowers is preferably neutral or slightly acidic. People generally use river water, pond water, rainwater, tap water or well water. Among these kinds of water, rainwater is the best, it contains more natural substances, which is the most needed by plants, followed by river water or pond water, which has more nutrients and mild water, especially the slightly yellow-green pond water contains a variety of nutrients.

Unpolluted ditch water on the side of the road is also a good water.

2. As long as the water temperature is close to the temperature of the potting soil, it can be used to water flowers at any time; In winter, you need to leave the water for watering flowers in the sun for a period of time, or add some warm water to make the temperature of the water close to the temperature of the potting soil before watering the flowers. In addition, when watering flowers with tap water, it is best to use a small water tank or pot bucket first, and then use it after 2 or 3 days in the sun, so that some harmful impurities in the water can be precipitated, and the substances contained in the water can be oxidized and purified, so that the temperature of the water is close to the temperature of the potting soil, not too cold or too hot.
