Why use weakly acidic humus soil to raise flowers

The main reason is that the pH of this soil meets the needs of most plants, and it is also very loose and breathable, and it also has a good ability to retain water and nutrients.

There are many friends who like to plant flowers in ordinary times, especially for those who have a certain experience in planting flowers, and will make humus in various ways. Humus is still very beneficial to flowers, and can provide a variety of nutrients to flowers, so can humus directly grow flowers? What are the disinfection methods of the humus made by yourself?

First, humus can be planted directly with flowers.

Humus can be planted directly with flowers. If you want to use humus to grow flowers, there is a big premise to ensure that the humus is free of insects. If the humus is done well, it can kill insects and poison the humus.

Those insecticidal drugs can be purchased directly and sprayed on top of humus. If you don't want to use insecticidal drugs, you can also directly put some humus on the ground at this time, and then let the strong sunlight expose the humus.

Second, humus disinfection method.

There are many ways to disinfect humus. First of all, the more common method is to disinfect through sunlight, you can directly put some humus on the ground, or you can also directly spread it on the wooden board or iron sheet, when laying humus, you only need to spread a thin layer, and then about 10 days of exposure, so that you can kill some germs and pests. Another common method is through steam sterilization.

Put the humus directly in the steamer or pressure cooker.

Inside, it takes about 40 to 50 minutes to heat it, and most of the bacteria can be killed. You can also directly use the high-temperature disinfection method to directly put the soil in the pot and stir-fry it continuously, which can be divided into about 40 minutes.

When planting flowers, you can directly use humus, and you can collect some materials by yourself and then make humus.

You can use humus to raise flowers, but there are more nutrients in humus, and all humus may increase the possibility of plant infection, so it is most appropriate to add an appropriate amount of humus in the loose and fertile loess, and disinfect the humus before breeding to avoid pests in humus to hinder the growth of plants.

1. Yes

You can use humus to raise flowers, but because humus contains very rich nutrients, it is necessary to expose to the sun for half a month before raising flowers to eliminate insect eggs and pests in the soil, and you can also put humus in a pressure cooker and heat it for more than an hour to achieve the effect of disinfection.

2. Soil conditions

When raising flowers, it is necessary to choose loose and fertile, well-drained soil, although humus can increase nutrients, but excessive humus may make the roots of the plant infected with diseases, so add a little in the loess, you can also dry the pine needles and crush them all, mixed into the soil to improve the air permeability of the soil.

3. Light temperature

In the process of raising flowers, to provide sufficient light and suitable temperature for the plants, you can put the flowers on the window sill with leeward southward, maintain the temperature between 15-25 degrees during the flowering period, move into the room for maintenance after winter, and control the temperature of the growth environment at more than 10 degrees.

4. Fertilizer and water management

When raising flowers, water the plants every 1-2 days before flowering to keep the soil moist and free of stagnant water, and at the same time apply fertilizer to the plants 1-2 times to promote the flowering period, and cut off the residual flowers after flowering to reduce nutrient loss.

It is better to raise flowers in humus soil, because its nutrient content is sufficient, which is conducive to the normal growth of flowers.

1) Humus is a layer of mixture of decaying plant matter and various types of organic waste (such as food waste), which can be used for potting. Humus is formed by the decay and fermentation of the dead branches and leaves of trees in the topsoil layer of the forest after a long period of decay. The humus is carefully screened, the waste materials that are too coarse or too fine are screened out, and the parts that have been fully fermented are selected to be the most suitable for planting orchids, and then distilled at high temperatures, disinfected and sterilized before development and use.

2) It is a good solution to the problem of poor water permeability of the original humus soil, mixed with diseases and insects, and give full play to its advantages as a natural nutrient planting material for orchid plants. This soil and rock sedan has a uniform and moderate particle size, which is the best soil particle structure for cultivating orchids, which not only has good air permeability, is suitable for the growth needs of the root Chihui system, but also has a coarse and good water and fertilizer retention capacity.

For the culture soil with unsuitable pH, the following measures can be used to adjust. If the acidity is too high, a small amount of lime powder can be added to the potting soil; If the alkalinity is too high, a small amount of sulfur powder can be added to the potting soil.

That is to say, different maintenance and management methods should be developed according to the habits of each flower, whether it is watering, light, fertilization, pruning, changing soil and pots, etc.

1. Vinegar is wonderful.

1. Raise southern flowers in the north, and mix an appropriate amount of vinegar when watering the potting soil, which can promote the absorption of trace elements such as phosphorus and iron and prevent yellowing of branches and leaves. 2. Spraying leaves and flower buds with about 40% vinegar solution can increase the accumulation of photosynthetic products, increase the size of flowers, make the leaves greener and the flowers more vivid. 3. Potted flowers that have been applied organic fertilizer will have a fishy smell indoors, and if you pour an appropriate amount of vinegar, it can not only eliminate the odor, but also sterilize and disinfect the soil.

4. Dip the cotton ball in some vinegar to rub the flowers and leaves, which can make scale insects, red spiders, aphids, etc. uneasy, and then sweep them down to eliminate them. 5. If spraying alkaline drugs (stone sulfur mixture, antibacterial special, Fumeishuang, etc.) occurs, spray an appropriate amount of vinegar solution on the branches and leaves to reduce the pesticide damage. 6. Prepare or apply alkaline drugs, wash hands with vinegar and wash utensils, which can remove residual drugs and play a role in disinfection.

2. Please make your own acidic soil.

The acidic potting soil needed for the south flower and the north can be made by the family. In autumn, collect pine needles, willow leaves, and poplar leaves, individually or mixed them into large pots or black plastic bags, a layer of leaves, a layer of peat soil or garden soil, and then add a little ferrous sulfate or ferric citrate, soak enough in water, then cover and compact. After an autumn and winter fermentation, acidic soil is formed; Milan, gardenia, osmanthus, four seasons primrose, four seasons begonia, melon leaf chrysanthemum, cyclamen, etc. are the most suitable for willow leaf fertilizer.

Usual maintenance can also be supplemented with a mixture of ferrous sulfate, ferric citrate and water. Spring press 12:6:

100, in summer, it is prepared in the ratio of 6:4:100, and then packed into a flexible packaging plastic bottle, the bottle is poured into the soil, and the cap is screwed to the extent of slight leakage.

1. Prepare some fallen pine needles, willow leaves or poplar leaves. You can usually bring a plastic bag when you go out for a run or walk, and pack some when you encounter it.

2. First spread a layer of soil at the bottom of the pot, then a layer of fallen leaves, then add soil, and then add fallen leaves, so that the layer by layer can be repeated 3 or 4 times.

3. After all the paving is done, water thoroughly, add some ferrous sulfate, compact it down, and seal the soil with a plastic bag.

4. During the soil soaking period, some ferrous sulfate can be added every once in a while to ensure the acidity of the soil. Generally, acidic soil can be obtained in 4 to 6 months.

Improvement methods: 1. Increase the application of farmhouse fertilizer and cultivate soil fertility Before crop planting, the planter fertilizer is mainly applied to the bottom of the foot fertilizer to increase the organic matter in the soil, improve soil permeability, promote rhizosphere microbial activities, and promote the insoluble mineral elements in the soil to become soluble nutrients, so as to achieve the effect of fertilizing soil fertility.

2. Increase the application of lime in a timely manner When preparing the land, apply lime year by year, 10 to 40 kg per mu per year until it becomes slightly acidic or neutral soil.

3. Plant acid-tolerant crops Acid-tolerant crops such as mung bean, rape, buckwheat, and rice are often planted. Soil acidity is adjusted by soil activation through land preparation management.

4. Implement water-drought rotation, improve physical and chemical properties, improve cultivation technology, prevent soil erosion, implement water-drought rotation in acidic soil (change once every 2 to 3 years), can improve soil tillage and physical and chemical properties, implement post-sowing cover film in cultivation, adjust multiple planting methods (such as rice-rice-rice, change to rape-rice-rice), and choose alkaline fertilizers (such as ammonium carbonate, ammonia) to achieve the purpose of improvement.

4 ways to teach you to make your own acidic soil, which is used to raise gardenias and osmanthus, and easily bloom full of branches.

Looking at the soil color, acidic soil is generally darker in color, mostly black-brown, while alkaline soil is mostly light-colored such as white and yellow. In some saline-alkali areas, there is often a layer of alkaline white powder on the soil surface.

The humus soil of the mountains and rivers and ravines is generally black-brown, relatively loose, fertile, and has good permeability, and is an ideal acidic humus. Such as: pine needle humus, peat, humus, etc.

Look at the texture: acidic soil has a loose texture, strong air permeability; Alkaline soil is hard, easy to form lumps, and has poor aeration and water permeability.

Look at the surface plants.

When mining flower soil in the wild, you can observe the plants growing on the surface, and the soil where wild rhododendrons, pines, and cedar plants grow is mostly acidic soil; The soil where Tamarix, Millet and Sorghum grow is mostly alkaline soil.

Look at what happens after watering.

After watering, acidic soil infiltrates quickly, does not bubble white, and the water surface is muddy; After watering the alkaline soil, the infiltration is slower, the water surface bubbles white, foams, and sometimes there is a layer of white alkaline material around the pot.

The acidic soil has a "soft" feeling in the hand, and after letting go, the soil is easy to spread out and not easy to agglomerate; Alkaline soil has a "hard" feeling in the hand, and it is easy to agglomerate and not fall apart after letting go.

Use the tool. Use pH test paper to measure the acidity and alkalinity of the soil, the method is as follows: take a part of the soil sample and soak it in cool boiled water, soak a part of the test paper into the soaking solution, take it out, observe the change of its color, and then compare the test paper with the color card, if the pH value is 7, the soil is neutral; If the pH is 7, it is acidic; If the pH is 7, it is alkaline.

1. The humus contains a lot of organic matter, which can be used to directly breed flowers, but in order to make the plant grow better, it is best to use it after sterilization and disinfection.

2. If there are conditions, it is best to mix with other soils, so that the effect will be better.

3. Humus is a layer of mixture composed of traditional humus soil and various organic wastes (such as kitchen waste), and humus is the dead branches and leaves of trees in the topsoil layer of the forest after a long period of decay and fermentation. Can be used for potted plants.
