People who like to raise flowers are always eager to stop, and the balconies and terraces are gradually occupied by potted flowers, but their hearts are still looking forward to more greenery. Faced with this scene, they had to seek to solve the problem of soil and flower pots. Where does the soil come from? Or dig it yourself, or buy it.
However, soil, whether bought or homemade, can harbor eggs, bugs, ants, and even weed seeds and germs. If you use these soils directly to raise flowers, not only may insects and germs be introduced to the balcony, but also may affect the growth of flowers and even spread to other potted plants. Therefore, before raising flowers, it is necessary to sterilize and disinfect the soil to ensure the healthy growth of flowers.
Then the soil for raising flowers only needs three steps to eliminate insect eggs and bacteria, so that flowers and plants can flourish!
[Step 1: Stuffy Soil].
Before we start, we need a plastic bag. Gently pack newly bought soil or soil you have dug up yourself into this plastic bag to ensure that it is tightly closed. It is recommended to use plastic bags instead of snakeskin bags because they have a better seal. The sealed bag is then placed on a sunny and warm area such as a terrace or roof. In such a confined environment, it will be difficult for those larger bugs, small centipedes, ants and other creatures to survive. Over the course of a few days, the creatures gradually faded away due to their inability to adapt to the environment. And the soil will be purer because of this treatment.
Step 2: Exposure to the sun
After more than 10 days of airtightness, we opened the plastic bag and spread the soil evenly on the masonry of the terrace. In the summer, the sun is scorching, so we take the opportunity to expose the soil to the heat for a few days. As a result, the soil becomes dry and soft, and large rocks and weeds are removed, making the soil appear more pure. After such treatment, the soil has basically completed disinfection and sterilization, and even the use of carbendazim can be omitted. In this way, the soil used to raise flowers is loose and soft, and there are no more small insects. After drying the soil, we add some river sand or crushed briquettes to the soil to make sure that the soil does not compact. In this way, you can easily cope with whatever you plant.
Step 3: Keep the pot clean
In order to keep the surface of the pot tidy, we should avoid leaving debris such as fallen leaves, twigs and weeds in the pot. If snails grow inside the pot, they will eat the leaves of the flowers, causing damage. The main reason why these snails breed is that the debris such as rotten leaves, twigs, and other debris left in the pot provides them with a breeding ground for food and reproduction. In order to prevent the appearance of snails, we must always keep the soil in the pot clean and tidy, so as not to leave them any chance.
Finally
The soil for raising flowers is the key to the growth of flowers. However, there are countless germs and bugs lurking in the soil, which puts many flower lovers off. But don't worry, you can easily solve this problem by just disinfecting it like this. The soil is treated by our skillful hands, making it clean and free of insects, and there is no longer a hidden danger of germs breeding. Flowers and plants grow in such soil, and naturally flourish and flourish.
