First, the basin soil is used casually.
Pot soil used for planting flowers is very important. Many friends who just started planting flowers didn't pay attention to the pot soil. They think potted plants can grow well in the wild, and they don't have to care too much about potted plants at home. In fact, this concept is incorrect. The living environment of potted flowers in the wild is different from that of potted flowers at home. The roots of flowers in the suburbs bend longer, which can absorb more nutrients and will not cause water roots to rot. However, the soil capacity of potted plants is limited, which is not only lack of nutrients, but also easy to agglomerate.
So when raising flowers at home, don't dig some roadside soil or ordinary culture soil as nutrient soil, otherwise potted flowers will never grow strong vitality. Needless to say, bonsai soil is easy to agglomerate and opaque to water. If you water too much, it is easy to store water, causing root damage and rot.
When planting flowers, you must first prepare pots of soil. In the absence of any culture soil, some pine needle soil or other humus soil can also be collected from the pine forest. In short, the soil layer should be soft, breathable and nutritious. This soil layer is conducive to plant growth and root development, and can absorb more nutrients, which will naturally be rich.
Second, don't pour the pot for a long time
In the process of raising flowers at home, there are also many flower friends who have never watered pots of flowers. They may not have changed the pot once from the time they bought it back to their death. Potted flowers don't have the good habit of pouring pots, and peony flowers can't be raised well.
Potted plants have little soil in bonsai. After a year or two, the potted soil can be covered with similar roots, and there will be more and more soil layers. Moreover, due to the lack of nutrients in the soil, plants will grow worse and worse, grow slowly, bloom less, and even wither and die.
No matter the flowers of woody plants or herbaceous plants, we should pour pots and plants for him on time. Every time you pour a pot, you don't just change the soil. You have to trim the roots, cut off some dead roots and rotten roots, and get rid of these old roots. After replanting, the plants will grow thicker roots again, and then they will grow richer.
Third, always drink water.
I firmly believe that many flower lovers will have such a habit when they first start planting flowers, that is, every time they go to see flowers, they should water them, even if the bonsai soil can't dry, they should be watered all over. This is ok for potted flowers that like water, and it is easy to damage the roots for some flowers that are afraid of waterlogging.
The flowers we usually raise are inexplicably yellow, and many of them are caused by unreasonable watering or too frequent watering. Although planting flowers can't make them short of water, watering them often will dry the bonsai soil for a long time and affect the normal breathing of the roots. After a long time, the roots will be stuffy and the leaves will turn yellow and fall off.
Why do so many potted plants need to be watered by "dry watering"? It needs a process from wet to dry, so that roots can breathe and grow normally. Therefore, it is not better to water more, but also to ensure scientific and reasonable watering according to the habits of different potted flowers. Before the bonsai soil is ready, water it once, not just a little at a time, which is not conducive to the growth and development of flowers and plants.
Fourth, I haven't been fertilizing for a long time.
People who love flowers never plant flowers in pots, and some never fertilize them, but grow and develop on the limited resources and nutrients of bonsai soil. The conclusion must be that they will not grow vigorously and bloom less. Potted flowers are likely to grow well with the help of nutrients in the soil at first, and become worse day by day in the middle and late stages, with yellow leaves and lack of vitality.
In fact, planting flowers is just like planting crops. When to fertilize him, only by ensuring sufficient nutrients can he grow well. Without fertilization, it is very easy to recover only by relying on limited resources and nutrients in bonsai soil.
At least some compound fertilizer, potassium dihydrogen phosphate and other fertilizers should be prepared at home. When potted flowers grow and develop branches, some compound fertilizers can also be applied. When the buds are about to grow and flowers are produced, potassium dihydrogen phosphate should be added several times, so that potted flowers can grow vigorously and bloom much more. If there is no chemical fertilizer at home, you can make some rice washing water, peel water, or expired milk. Make it mellow, water the flowers, and fill the potted flowers with nutrients to make them look rich and often bloom.
In the process of planting flowers, we only need to correct these bad habits of planting flowers, learn more about the habits of potted flowers, and gradually have work experience, so that all flowers can be planted well.
