What should I do if the soft soil for raising flowers is too hard

Raising flowers and soil "hard Bangbang"? With 4 kinds of sour water, the soil is as soft as a cake.

If the soil for raising flowers is too hard, it will make it difficult for the roots to breathe and grow normally, and the soil can be loosened artificially. With the help of a small shovel, shovel a shovel of soil to restore the soil to a loose state. However, it should be noted that the action should not be too large, and it is necessary to shovel gently to prevent the root from being damaged by increasing strength, and focus on avoiding the root when shoveling.

If the soil hardens because of a long-term lack of water, it is necessary to apply water appropriately to make the soil softer, but not too much water to prevent too much water from accumulating in the pot, otherwise it will cause the roots to rot. However, if the soil hardens due to excessive moisture, this method should not be used again.

You can also burn some plants into ash, and then mix the plant ash into the soil, which can increase the looseness of the soil and ensure that the soil can be loose.

If there is a long-term lack of fertilizer in the potting soil, a certain amount of bio-organic fertilizer can also be applied, which can increase the organic matter in the soil and make the soil softer.

If the soil is really dry and hard, you can directly replace the potting soil.

How to choose soil for raising flowers, this can be explained with orchids:

Bamboo root mud. It refers to the soil at the root of a bamboo bush that has been planted for many years. Due to the bamboo whip, bamboo roots, and the decay of bamboo leaves and bamboo shoots, this kind of soil becomes a loosely structured, well-drained, fertile soil without being too fertile, and is suitable for orchid growth.

The quality of bamboo root mud depends on three factors: first, the original soil quality, which is the predecessor and foundation of bamboo root mud, with sandy loam soil as the best; The second is the age of bamboo bush planting, the longer it lasts, the more full the role of bamboo roots, bamboo leaves, and bamboo whips; Again, the closer to the soil of the bamboo roots, the better.

Soil with chaff. The bran is made by harvesting, drying and crushing the plants of green manure (milk vetch). Mixing, accumulating, and decomposing the bran with bamboo root mud or general sandy loam soil, that is, the bran soil is formed.

The preparation method is as follows: choose a sheltered site, remove a layer of bran from a layer of soil, pour pig manure water once, and accumulate layer by layer; After the pile is completed, the surface is sprinkled with water and moistened, and then sealed with thin mud. It can be used after half a year of accumulation and fermentation.

When used, it should be mixed with other culture soil in proportion.

Humus. Watering or fertilizing with dead leaves or grass, tall stalks, covered with thin mud and sealed, decomposed and sieved, it is best to use grass without seeds, and fully rotted to kill pests and weeds seeds, otherwise there will be many weeds in the orchid pot in the future.

Landslides. That is, the mountain forest soil where wild orchids originally grow. It is littered and accumulated and decayed over the years, mixed with the soil.

The naturally occurring humus soil, rich in humus, loose and breathable, is very suitable for the growth of orchids. In the case of convenient transportation, a large number of mountain mud is dug up for planting orchids, which is relatively simple and economical, and it is better to domesticate grass. The humus under the broad-leaved forest, especially the humus under the chestnut tree, is an ideal soil for orchids.

Pond sludge. Combined with winter ponds and fish ponds, the mud is dug up, dried and then broken into fine grains, which can be used to cultivate all flowers, including orchids.

Soil. That is, choose loose topsoil in the field, mix a little sandy soil or a small amount of chaff ash, and then add some well-rotted compost or organic fertilizers such as soybean cake and rapeseed cake after fermentation and decay, and cooperate with "Ribery Yanwo microbial agent" to promote the improvement of soil structure and strengthen fertilizer efficiency. After turning the pile and mixing well many times, it is then sifted.

This soil is nearly neutral and not as good as humus soil. Therefore, it is only reluctantly used when there is no suitable humus soil or sandy loam soil of mountain forests, and most of them are used for the cultivation of coarse orchids.

Cow dung soil. The fermented dried cow dung is crushed and finely ground and mixed with sandy soil or topsoil of the field soil in a ratio of 1:3.

It is best to choose cow manure that is fed dry feed in winter, because after the hay is regurgitated by the cow's stomach, although the fiber is finely broken, it is still elastic, and it is a plant fiber that contains certain nutrients. This kind of cow dung soil is soft and fertile, which is very suitable for the good gas of Langen. This kind of cow dung soil is often used as a filling material for cultivating ground orchids in Taiwan's Yilan industry, and the effect is very good.
