How to solve the problem that the soil in the flowerpot is too wet and sticky (what to do if the soil in the pot is always wet)

How to solve the problem of stickiness in potted flower soil

First, knock the flowers and trees with mud out of the pots and place them in a ventilated place to dry for 1 to 2 days.

Then, while the clay is moist, peel off part of the outermost layer of clay, leaving a little core soil, and then add some sawdust, ash, granular sandy loam and other mixed loam.

When repotting flowers and trees, you can put a layer of river stones or broken red bricks at the bottom of the pot as a drainage layer for the flower pot, fill it with about 1/3 thick mixed sandy loam , then put the potted plants in, and fill it with the improved mixed sandy loam.

The best soil for growing flowers is humus soil

When growing flowers at home, some flower lovers will go to the flower market to buy "nutritional soil", and some flower lovers will go to the mountains to collect some leaf humus to grow flowers. In fact, humus soil can be made by yourself. The specific production methods are as follows:

(1) Using kitchen waste to produce humus

Families grow a small number of potted flowers and use vegetable and fruit scraps and Chinese herbal medicine residues to ferment into humus.

If the kitchen waste is large or contains a lot of water, chop it into pieces in advance and dry it, mix it with 20% to 30% coal ash soil or garden soil, sift out the coal slag blocks, and then add some sawdust. Put it in a larger flower pot, cover it with a layer of coal ash soil with a layer of kitchen waste, fill the flower pot and flatten it.

Cover the surface with a layer of garden soil, spray a little pesticide to prevent insects, cover it and place it outdoors, and keep the pot moist.

The temperature is high in summer, and it usually takes 1 to 2 months for the wood to decompose and disintegrate. When there is no odor, it can be used to prepare culture soil.

( 2) Use leaves and weeds to pile up leaf mold

   If you have a garden, you can dig a one-meter-deep pit in the garden and make your own leaf humus. The method is: in autumn, go to the mountains or parks to collect 40% to 50% of fallen leaves and weeds, 20% to 30% of sawdust, and 10% to 20% of horse manure, mix and pile them up.

Put a layer of weeds and leaves in the pit, then a layer of garden soil, and continue piling up like this. Pour in a small amount of human feces or rice water, and cover the top with a layer of garden soil 8 to 10 centimeters thick.

During the composting process, the soil pit must not be compacted too compactly. Air must be allowed to enter to facilitate the activity and reproduction of aerobic bacteria and accelerate the decomposition and decay of leaves and weeds. Remember not to make it too wet to avoid the production of toxic gases and the loss of nutrients in the soil.
