What soil is suitable for growing crabapples?

Begonia soil

Begonia likes acidic soil. If alkaline soil is used, the plant will grow poorly. You can add some ferrous sulfate solution to neutralize it. The plant requires the soil to be loose, breathable, and high in organic matter.

Begonias can be grown with nutrient soil, which can be purchased directly from merchants. Most of these nutrient soils are formulated to meet the growth needs of seedlings, and the nutrients in them are relatively sufficient.

How to prepare soil for Begonia

When preparing the soil for crabapple, you can use garden soil, river sand, leaf mold, and sawdust in a ratio of 3:1:1:1. The soil prepared in this way is not prone to water accumulation and is more conducive to the growth of the plant.
