In the process of flower cultivation, the most commonly used nutrient soil for flower cultivation is not only loose, breathable and well drained, but also rich in nutrients. Only in this way can the cultivated flowers and plants grow vigorously and bloom brilliantly. Therefore, when preparing nutrient soil for flower cultivation, it is necessary to collect some materials rich in nutrient elements and make rational use of them.

Friends who usually like to grow flowers know that most flowers and plants like loose, fertile and slightly acidic soil with good air permeability. Therefore, when planting flowers at ordinary times, we should try to find some soil suitable for flower growth to prepare nutrient soil. Good cultivation soil is not only loose and fertile, but also rich in nutrients, and it is permeable and breathable, and it is not easy to harden the pot soil during flower planting, which is conducive to the healthy growth of flowers. Today, I will introduce several very good materials for preparing nutrient soil for flower cultivation. Flower lovers can reasonably prepare and use different flowers according to their growth habits.

1, pond sludge

In rural areas, there are many fish ponds or abandoned ponds. The sludge in the pond contains a lot of organic matter such as rotten leaves and fish manure, and is rich in nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, which can provide various nutrients needed for flower growth. Digging some silt by the pond to cooperate with other soils to raise flowers can make the flowers flourish.

Application mode

The excavated pond sludge is dried in the sun and ground into powder, which can be directly mixed with other soil to make cultivation soil when flowers are cultivated, or the fertile pond sludge can be dried and mixed with flowerpots to be used as organic fertilizer, which can make flowers grow vigorously.

2. Black Mountain Mud

Mountain mud, commonly known as blue soil, is generally the mountain soil rotted by deciduous leaves of broad-leaved forest for many years. It has balanced nutrients, good air permeability and water permeability, and is not even used directly with other soils. Of course, it can also be mixed with some other soils, such as garden soil, sand, cinder and so on. Mountain mud can be used to cultivate orchids, clivia, rhododendrons, camellias and other flowers.

Application mode

Usually there are Huangshan mud and Heishan mud in mountain mud. Huangshan mud is a little sticky and contains little humus. Heishan mud is porous and breathable, with high humus content and mostly slightly acidic. When planting flowers, we can choose suitable mountain mud as culture soil according to the growth habits of different flowers.

3. Burning cinder

The burnt cinder is light in texture, rich in nutrition and very good in ventilation and water permeability. It is often used in the process of flower cultivation, for example, it can be used to cushion the bottom of pots, and it can also be mixed with cultivated soil to increase the air permeability and water permeability of soil. It can directly replace sand as the substrate for preparing culture soil.

Application mode

Honeycomb cinder is easy to use and can be directly crushed for use. When cinder is used, the stones on the sieve are first screened off with a sieve, and the fine cinder under the sieve is used for planting flowers. When planting flowers with coal cinder, it can be used as culture soil together with other substrates, and can also be used as drainage layer at the bottom of the basin to increase the permeability of the basin soil.

4. Rotten sawdust

Sawdust is sawdust produced when processing wood. It has the characteristics of light texture, softness, air permeability, water absorption and moisture retention, and is a very high-quality flower cultivation material after fermentation and decay. However, it should be noted that some toxic wood sawdust cannot be used, such as Chinese fir and hemlock.

Application mode

Before use, sawdust must be fermented before it can be used for flower cultivation. When fermenting, sawdust can be put into plastic bags, then mixed with sewage evenly, and then slowly fermented in high temperature environment, and the fermentation can be completed in about 2 months in summer. The fermented sawdust has comprehensive nutrition and moderate humidity, and can be mixed with other soils to be used as flower cultivation soil. In addition, sawdust has the functions of softness, breathability and moisture retention, and is often used as a substrate for flower cutting, which can accelerate the rooting of cuttings and improve the survival rate of cutting.

Note: When planting flowers, no matter what soil is used to prepare nutrient soil, it should be reasonably matched according to the growth habits of plants and flowers. For example, some flowers may like alkaline soil, and if the cultivated soil is acidic, it is unfavorable to the growth and development of plants, which should also be paid special attention to.

Conclusion: After simple processing, the above materials are all very good flower cultivation materials, which can be used in combination with other soils or as flower cultivation materials alone. Friends who like to raise flowers can collect some at ordinary times, and use them reasonably according to different flower habits when raising flowers, which is very worry-free and has a good effect on raising flowers.
