What is the dirt for Yazi s special flowers?

Coir is a kind of sponge-like soilless cultivation medium, it is the best medium to replace peat soil, are very good materials with air permeability, water retention and drainage, is a renewable cultivation medium, it can be mixed into the potting soil, used to retain water, ensure that the soil is better, and the ventilation and drainage will be better.

In addition, coir can also ensure that the root system of the plant grows more robustly, and it is no problem to use it for sowing seeds or maintaining hydroponic plants.

Coconut shells are a good thing! We can use coconut shells to make homemade coconut peat nutritious soil, and raising flowers is great!

Step 1: Crush the coconut shell.

Cut the coconut shell into strips or chunks, the fresh coconut shell is not very hard and can be easily cut with a kitchen knife. Then you can easily tear it into fine fibers by hand and cut it with scissors. Of course, there is a better way to make the coconut shell fine enough, welcome to point it out.

Step 2: Desalt the coconut shell.

Soak the crushed coconut shells in boiling water, or cook them slightly! Because coconuts live by the sea, salt is indispensable in them, and if there is too much salt, it is very bad for us to raise flowers! Therefore, coconut shell desalination is an indispensable operation!

Step 3: Fermentation.

Put the heated coconut peat in a plastic bag and put it in a cool place to let it ferment naturally for about a week, and if you don't use it urgently, you can ferment for a longer time.

Step 4: Configure nutrient soil.

We can add soil to the coconut peat 1:1, an appropriate amount of compound fertilizer, stir evenly and put it into the flower pot, so that the coconut peat and the soil are dissolved into one, and the nutrition is relatively rich, the fertility is long-lasting, loose and breathable, and it is not easy to compact!

PS: There are many benefits of coconut peat flower cultivation.

1. Coir is not easy to rot, if it is used to plant flowers, this is its benefit, there is no fungus and planted in a pot, it will not ferment and rot, it will not hurt the roots at all, and planting flowers without rotting roots is its biggest advantage.

2. Its water retention performance is very strong, and the speed of water absorption after watering is fast, which can save a lot of water. And it also has a certain degree of air permeability, the soil will not appear compacted, which is conducive to root growth, but if there is too much coconut peat, it will also lead to too much water, so it is necessary to control the proportion.

3. Coir has good stability, light weight, corrosion resistance, and high degree of coordination with other substrates.

Coconut flower soil can be mixed into the soil to increase air permeability and drainage, and can properly retain soil moisture. I think it's still easier to use, since the coconut brick soil is used to raise plants, other nutrient soil is used less.

Most of the flowers suitable for acidic soil can be planted.

Especially orchids, dendrobium, coconut peat is good. The disadvantage of coir soil is the lack of nutrients, you can mix other soil or fertilizer together to raise flowers, raise flowers and vegetables, without soil, you can buy a little at home, very affordable, very convenient to use.

You can't grow flowers directly with just coconut soil.

Coconut soil is extracted from the lignocellulose extracted from the coconut shell, that is, the shell outside the coconut is extracted, because the coconut soil has no nutrients, and can only be used as seedling soil if it is not mixed with other soils.

The advantage of coconut soil is that it can improve the water absorption, water retention and air permeability of the soil, and it can be used as planting soil with the ratio of ordinary peat soil and coconut soil (coconut soil 4: peat soil 6).

Extended information: UsesLiving environment landscaping.

It is suitable for feeding bedding for various rainforest reptiles, and can be used to raise spider reptiles. Pet spider enthusiasts often use it as feeding bedding for ground-dwelling spiders (such as bird-catching spiders).

Greenhouse cultivation. Coconut clay is used as a natural medium for the growth of plants in greenhouses, and the crops cultivated are of very good quality and the yield rate is relatively high. Therefore, coconut soil can effectively replace rock wool, because rock wool is quite serious pollution to the environment, and it can effectively replace expensive culture soil and greatly reduce costs.

Home gardening. Provide a new choice for home gardening consumers, because coconut clay is a natural organic medium, which will not cause pollution to the environment, and it has been sterilized at high temperature, clean and odorless. And it is easy to plant, and the vegetables, fruits, and flowers grown have very good results in terms of quality and yield.

Personally, I feel that the proportion of coconut bricks is large - for example, after reaching more than 20%, it is not easy to water when it dries.

But the question itself is problematic – why let the soil dry out? What is Dry? When I first learned to "dry and water" in the bubble jar, if I got the treasure, let all the pots be dry, and then pour them thoroughly. . . It's not thorough, dear!

Dry and watered thoroughly, or the master fools people - the so-called heroes deceive people! Either that, our misunderstanding of "dryness" is wrong - Shenma flowers and plants can withstand the desert water shortage!

So I think – I think I remember a post mentioned – it's dry, but it just says that the moisture content is very small, for example, a few centimeters below the topsoil is only damp, that is, it is dry, and it is watered.

At this time, any soil is easy to water.

Coconut clay should be added with nutrients, such as chicken manure. Coconut soil can be used to grow flowers, just plant the flowers you bought, water them, and fertilize them.

Vegetables, fruits, seedlings, and flowers are all available. Using coconut soil as the cultivation of vegetable and fruit seedlings, the roots of the plant will be stronger, and the root whiskers will also be significantly increased, not only that, because of its good water retention and air permeability, so the germination rate of the plant is also relatively improved.

At present, the culture soil on the market is not only the most expensive, if it encounters rainy days, poor air permeability leads to root failure, if in summer, the temperature is very high, the water evaporates quickly, once the water evaporates out, the culture soil will become hard, and the watering can not penetrate and absorb.

The coconut soil completely replaces the above shortcomings because of good air permeability, even if it encounters continuous spring rain, it will not lose the roots, in the summer under the high evaporation of water, even if the coconut soil water is completely evaporated by the sun, water immediately, the water will be quickly absorbed by the coconut soil again.

Fruit and vegetable seedlings

Flowers are fine.

Nurturing, the roots of the plant will be specialized.

It will be stronger, and the roots will also increase significantly, not only that, because of its good water retention and air permeability, so the germination rate of the plant is also relatively improved. At present, the culture soil on the market, not only is it expensive, if it encounters a rainy day, poor air permeability leads to root failure, if in summer, the temperature is very high, the water evaporates rapidly, once the water evaporates out, the culture soil will become hard, and the watering can not penetrate and absorb, and the coconut soil completely replaces the above shortcomings, because of the good air permeability, even if it encounters continuous spring rain, it will not lose the roots, under the high evaporation of water in summer, even if the moisture of the coconut soil is completely evaporated by the sun, immediately watered, the water will be quickly absorbed by the coconut soil again.

If there is a root. Add some alcohol to the medium, if the stems have it, you can spray some pesticides or alcohol, sprinkle salt in it, snails are most afraid of salt, add some "carbofuran" or "ground insect killing" in the substrate to kill pests.

Lycoris bulbous flowers are generally not picky about the soil, many bulbous flowers are native to very dry soil, but they still bloom brilliantly, but if they can be provided with loam or sandy loam rich in organic matter, it can make it grow more beautifully. With the exception of water-loving species such as Manjusri and Spider Lily, the soil should be well drained, otherwise the bulbs are prone to rot. The growing season of fertilizer bulbous flowers is long, and sufficient organic fertilizer should be buried before planting, and then top dressing should be applied every two months, and self-made decompost or three-element fertilizer can be used, and the ratio of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer should be heavy to promote bulb development and flowering.

Coconut soil can not only grow flowers and vegetables, but also fruits and seedlings can be planted with coconut soil.

Coconut clay refers to the fibrous powder made from the shell of the coconut, and the resulting flower soil can of course be used to grow flowers, and when the coconut clay is used as a vegetable and fruit plant, the roots of the plant will be stronger and the roots will increase significantly. And, due to its good water retention and air permeability, it will also improve the germination rate of plants. Because the water permeability and air permeability of coconut soil are very good, so coconut soil can be used to grow flowers, and it is also suitable for many plants and flowers, but this soil also has a disadvantage, that is, this soil has no nutrients, so it is generally not used alone, it is best not to use only coconut soil to plant flowers, it is best to use it with organic fertilizer or other planting materials.

There are many suitable flowers, such as swallow palm, pothos, pomegranate, rainbow jade, orchid, raw stone flower, rich bamboo, etc.

When using coconut soil to grow vegetables, you should first put it in a bucket or pot, add water, then pour out the excess water, soak it and put it in the prepared planting box. It is then mixed with coconut soil, earthworm soil and some organic fertilizer, after which the seeds of the vegetables can be sown, and after sowing, the coconut soil is spread. Before the seeds germinate, proper watering is needed to keep the soil moist, but care should be taken not to overwater.

When planting flowers and vegetables with coconut soil, it is best to continue to irrigate water after the coconut soil absorbs enough water until the color of the discharged water is close to that of clear water, which is conducive to reducing the salt content in the coconut soil. After a period of use, the coconut soil will settle more significantly, and some plants need to be soiled if their roots are exposed.

Because the coconut brick is made by crushing the coconut shell and coconut bark by the sea by high temperature and high pressure, it is very environmentally friendly and has no insect pests, but the bricks that have just been bought contain salt, so it should be soaked several times.

If it is a succulent, you can use coconut bricks.

If you plant flowers, use nutrient soil.

Coconut brick is actually a kind of fiber extracted from coconut shell, and then processed, in the high temperature and high pressure treatment made of compressed block, because it is about the same size as the brick, so it is called coconut brick.

Coconut bricks, nutrient soil and ordinary soil for plants a very important role is to let the root system attach and absorb nutrients, coconut bricks and nutrient soil air permeability is better, in terms of nutrients only need proper fertilization, many flower markets use coconut bricks and artificial nutrient soil.

Nutrient soil is more suitable for plant species.

Coir brick, as a substrate, does not have enough nutrients to provide to the plants. Nutrient soil is different, it is a mixed substrate with certain nutrients, if it is a homemade nutrient soil, it can usually be directly used to raise flowers and trees, although it may not allow the plants to maintain good growth, but feeding is not a problem. But in order to promote the growth of plants, it is usually necessary to add some soil in combination, and the effect will be much better.

Nutrient soil is specially formulated to meet the growth and development of seedlings, containing a variety of mineral nutrients, is loose and aerating, strong water and fertilizer retention ability, no pests and diseases of the bed soil. Nutrient soils are usually made from a mixture of fertile field soil and decaying manure.

If you are a succulent, you can use coconut bricks, because it has good drainage performance and a soft and light texture, which is suitable for pretentious succulents. If you are planting more common plants, such as flowers and small saplings, these plants are more suitable for nutrient soil.

However, from a personal point of view, I recommend that you mix the two, and the effect is good.

Gardenia soil is well raised. Gardenia is an indicator plant of acidic soil, so the slightly acidic environment of the soil is the key to determining the growth of gardenia. The culture soil should be mixed with 7 parts of slightly acidic sandy loam laterite and 3 parts of humus. It is advisable to control the pH value of the soil in between.

Gardenia cultivation method:

1. About changing pots.

Many flower friends like to replace the flowers they just bought with their own prepared flower soil and flower pots, which is actually wrong. Because generally speaking, the soil and pots prepared by the merchant for it are suitable for it, we do not need to change it deliberately, and the flowers come to our home from the store, the growing conditions have changed, and it has not yet adapted, so it will be relatively weak, if we replace the soil and pots for it at this time, it may not be able to stand it, so that there will be some problems.

Therefore, there is no need to repot it when we have just bought it. However, after a year, the nutrients in the soil are almost depleted, and then we should repot it.

2. About watering.

Normally, the flowers are transported by car from the production area to the whole country, in order to ensure that it does not lack water during transportation, merchants generally use cement with high water retention capacity. However, this kind of soil has a disadvantage, that is, once it is completely dry, it is difficult to water it again.

So we need to water it in a special way: first prepare a basin, fill it with water, and then put the pot in the water, just let half of the pot be submerged in water. Leave it on for a while, waiting for the water to slowly seep through the bottom hole until the surface color of the soil changes.

3. About maintenance.

1) Light, although it needs light, but it must not be too strong, especially when it has just been bought back and has not adapted to the new growth conditions, once it is exposed to strong light, it is easy to be damaged.

2) Temperature, generally speaking, give it a temperature of about 16-20 and there will be no problem. However, if it is winter, it should not be less than 5, otherwise it will have adverse reactions.

3) Humidity, generally about 70% is appropriate.

4) Use fertilizer, flower fertilizer should not be too thick, it must be thin, and it should not be used too much at a time. Alternatively, you can use fermented rice water to increase the acidity of the soil a little.
