Plum has a very good growth ability, so the soil requirements are not very high. The best soil used is relatively soft, drainage and permeability is also good, if the soil is very sticky, its roots will breathe bad, and once there is water is also very difficult to drain, it will affect its normal growth.
When planting, you can go to the market or buy soil online directly, which will save the trouble of compounding. In fact, the preparation of soil is also very simple. Only 2 parts of rotten leaf soil and 1 part of perlite and 1 part of hematite or vermiculite are mixed to prepare. To increase the water permeability, you can spread some river sand on the surface.
However, the climate in the north and south is different, and there may be some differences when preparing soil. The air in the north is relatively dry, which can be mixed with coal cinder, sapropel, vermiculite and perlite. And the climate of the south is wet, the ability of the air permeability and drainage of the soil must be strong, so can mix saprophytic soil, coarse sand and perlite.
The soil used should not be too sticky, and there should be no eggs or bacteria inside, so after the preparation of soil, disinfection should be carried out, especially for the soil planted with other plants, let alone forget to disinfect.
