How to prepare calamus soil

1. The soil for calamus is generally made of garden soil, which is mixed with Kiryu sand, Fuji sand, and tree bark. Organic fertilizer can also be added to ensure that the calamus has the nutrients it needs for growth and allows it to bloom beautiful flowers.

2. For potted calamus at home, we can add a certain amount of garden soil, perlite and rice husk charcoal to the purchased nutrient soil. The mixed nutrient soil can replenish nutrients for the growth of calamus in time and promote the stronger growth of calamus.

Precautions for preparing calamus soil

1. The granular soil you purchased may be broken into pieces. Soil that is too small can easily clog the mesh at the bottom of the pot, causing poor watering and air circulation in the pot, so you need to filter out all the broken soil that is smaller than 1 mm.

2. The self-prepared calamus soil needs to be dried and disinfected before use. It can be disinfected by spreading it out in the sun for 2-3 days. After planting calamus, soaking the pot and the grass together for more than 30 minutes can also play a disinfecting role.
