Some people say that putting a few small pieces of foam in a pot can prevent water accumulation at t

You can put foam under the pot where you plant flowers, which can drain water in time and will not cause the roots of the flowers to rot and mold. Generally, high-tube flower pots are suitable for foam pads, and low-tube flower pots are best planted with nutrient soil.

and humus. If there is more foam, there will definitely be less soil. Later in the growth of the plant, there will be no soil where the root system grows, causing the root system to shrivel and slowly die.

So when buying flowers, be sure not to buy plants with foam. If you accidentally buy it, you can take it home and change the potting soil.

But at the same time, it is important to note that if there is too much foam at the bottom of the pot, there will be less soil in the pot, and the foam itself will not provide nutrients for the growth of the flowers. So if it is a shallow flower pot, you can spread a layer of hard foam to waterproof; If it is a deep pot, you can spread an extra layer, the purpose of the cushion bubble is mainly to prevent water permeability and ventilation, let excess water penetrate in, increase air circulation, and not cause root rot due to long-term immersion in too wet soil.

At the same time, the plastic foam block also has the excellent properties of light weight, diuretic, breathable, warm, incomplete roots, the roots can penetrate the plastic foam block, repel insects and prevent diseases, and it is easy to separate from the old pot when turning the pot. The foam at the bottom of the pot is extremely damaging to the flowers, in addition to the weight reduction during transportation. The bubbles in the flowering period of the foam, coupled with oxidation, will reduce the volume, and the soil on the root system will collapse, resulting in root strain or inability to adhere to the soil.

To sum up, if you take out the breathable foam that the seller said, what kind of filling should be used to make it breathable? Actually, this one is relatively simple. For example, when we plant plants, we can fill the bottom of the pot with some pebbles.

Or ceramsite. The effect will be much better than foam. Now there are many places that sell ceramsite on the market, just buy it directly. If you don't want to buy them, you can pick up some smaller pebbles in the park and take them home, but remember to use carbendazim. Soak.

It's true. When small foams occur at the bottom of the pot, the small foam can absorb a large amount of residual water and achieve a good moisturizing efficiency, which can not only ensure the sufficient supply of water for the pot, but also prevent the formation of stagnant water.

It is related to the soil, and some sandy soil can indeed effectively prevent water accumulation at the bottom of the pot, and different soil conditions are different.

It's true, because these foams absorb the stagnant water in the basin. It can also help plants grow more lushly.

OK. Because the foam is very lightweight and does not absorb water, it can be placed in a flower pot to replenish. However, the foam is perishable when soaked in water and should be replaced frequently.

Of course, this is possible, as some pots sold on the market often have foam at the bottom, which allows the roots of the plants to absorb oxygen better.

1.There is no harm in using foam on the bottom of a flower pot correctly, but if you put too much foam or leave it for too long, it will affect the growth of the plant.

2.If you want to use foam, just spread a layer of crushed foam, which will enhance the breathability of the potting soil and keep it warm.

3.If you put too much on the bottom of the pot, the soil will be reduced, and the plants will easily grow poorly due to the lack of nutrients.

4.Or if it is left for too long, the foam will lose its air permeability, which will lead to water accumulation and root rot.
