What should I do if the soil for growing flowers is too hard?

1. Artificial loosening of soil

If the soil for growing flowers is too hard, it will make it difficult for the roots to breathe and grow normally. You can loosen the soil artificially. Use a small shovel to shovel the soil to restore it to a loose state. However, it should be noted that the movement should not be too big, and it needs to be shoveled gently to avoid increasing the force and damaging the roots. When shoveling, focus on avoiding the roots.

2. Proper watering

If the soil becomes hard due to long-term lack of water, you need to apply appropriate amount of water to make the soil loose, but not too much water to prevent excessive water accumulation in the flowerpot, otherwise it will cause the roots to rot. However, if the soil becomes hard due to excessive moisture, this method cannot be used.

3. Mixed with plant ash

You can also burn some plants into ashes, and then mix the ash into the soil to increase the looseness of the soil and ensure that the soil is looser.

4. Apply organic fertilizer

If the potting soil lacks fertilizer for a long time, you can also apply a certain amount of biological organic fertilizer. This can increase the organic matter in the soil and make the soil softer.

5. Replace the potting soil

If the soil is really dry and hard, you can directly replace the potting soil.
