Different flowers and green plants are not the same, the need for soil is not the same, each plant has its temper, so what soil is needed to grow flowers? What are the characteristics of each soil? Let’s have a look.
Peat soil: It contains plant matter that was buried underground before it decomposed completely in ancient times and is rich in organic matter. It is formed by the accumulation of organic matter under water, some of which has been carbonized and blackened. The soil is acidic, contains high organic matter, and a large number of fibrous humic acid, water and fertilizer effect is very good, is a good farming soil.
Garden soil: Garden soil is mostly from nearby sources, such as gardens, orchards, as well as green belt and other surface soil. It is the main component of culture soil. The soil in the green belt is often called garden soil. Garden soil is the most common soil, slightly acidic, water and fertilizer retention ability is relatively strong, but poor permeability, easy to harden. It’s a good idea to add some material to mix it up.
Leaf mould: Most of the leaf mould is collected from forests and bamboo forests. It is a kind of natural humus soil made by decaying leaves. Leaf rot soil is the soil formed by the deciduous branches and leaves of large trees after decomposition and fermentation after sun and rain. Leaf rot soil is loose and soft, acidic and rich in nutrients. It has a good effect of water and fertilizer, and is suitable for the cultivation and cultivation of various flowers.
Pine needle soil: It is similar to leaf mould, and is formed after a long period of fermentation. It doesn’t hold water very well, but it breathes very well, and not only that, it also has a good deworming effect.
