The so-called growth matrix is the soil, and the matrix is more westernized. The soil selected for the Hosta has better drainage performance. Generally, the bottom of the flowerpot is paved with a layer of soil with larger particles, such as slag, peat and perlite, so as to speed up the drainage performance of the bottom.
