When there is a problem with the roots of the plant, the stems, leaves, flowers and fruits of the plant will be affected and slowly disappear. Therefore, when the flower roots are weak, they will inevitably grow poorly, how to raise them is not good, in the face of such a situation, as a flower farmer, you are not willing to discard it and you have to strengthen the roots first.
There are the following three kinds of growing mediums suitable for rooting, which are mixed into the soil or laid on top of the flower soil, which can still improve the soil quality, create a loose and breathable basic environment for the roots of the plants living in it, and let the flower roots continue to grow, and the population is more and more vigorous and developed.
Fine sand
Delicate sand can be found by the river or the sea, you can also search from the building materials market, so home breeding flowers and plants, we can collect more or spend a little money to buy some, so mixed into the flower soil, you can improve the properties of the soil, promote the air permeability of the soil is not good enough to become very loose and breathable, in line with the basic standards of farmed plants.
Of course, if you buy it from a flower shop, then the sand has basically been treated, so after taking it home, soak it in boiling water, and wait until the water is cooled to room temperature, and then you can plant flowers and plants with other growing mediums.
And if you pick it up from the outside, then we want to soak it in water first, and then clean up the broken stones or mud mixed in, leaving only the pure river sand, scalding it with boiling water again, cooling it to room temperature, and then mixing a small amount of carbendazim to soak for 30 minutes, you can take the sand out to dry and mix with other media to raise flowers and grass.
perlite
Perlite, the use of this kind of thing is very extensive, not only can raise flowers and grasses as growing medium, improve soil quality, enhance the drainage and permeability of the soil, but also can be used for fish farming, filled in the bottom of the fish tank, you can build a unique landscape, but also can use them to hydroponic plant roots, convenient for people to plant some aquatic plants, to give the fish a "natural oxygen bar or small forest".
In general, perlite has few access to it, and laymen can only buy it by spending money. Of course, if you accidentally see it next to the trash can, then we can still use it when we take it home and dispose of it. Usually, it is washed and soaked in boiling hot water about 3 times to achieve the purpose of sterilization and disinfection.
In addition, a brush dipped in baking soda can be used to make the perlite, which is no longer white, become as white as pearls and sparkle again. Of course, perlite is larger than sand, so they can not only be mixed into the soil to improve the soil quality, but also in the heat or cold, the surface of the soil as a paving, play a role in heat preservation and moisturizing.
Pottery grains
The size of the pottery grains is much larger than the above 2 kinds of growing medium, in the period of home flowering, if you want to use them to improve the soil, there is only one way, take advantage of the time to change the potting soil for the plants, fill the bottom of the pot, prevent the drainage hole from being blocked, and a layer of pottery particles can form many small gaps, accommodate air and wind, and help drain the accumulated water.
Of course, in fact, the structure of the pottery particles is very stable, the material is also very hard, and it is good to use them as stones (and this practice has a small flaw: it will increase economic expenditure, after all, the cost of pottery particles is not low, and the average person is not willing to spend money to buy).
