This is a fleshy plant, usually in the form of a bush. Usually, what we see most is red. In fact, its color is very diverse. For example, white, yellow, orange and so on. These colors are not very common, but they are very good-looking. Flower soil is an important aspect of cultivation. So, what kind of soil is suitable for it?

1. Requirements for flower soil

(1) the most basic of course is loose. Many plants have this requirement for flower soil.

(2) the second requirement is that it contains more nutrients. Plants mainly draw nutrients from flower soil, so this aspect cannot be ignored. In addition, choosing more nutritious soil can also reduce the times of fertilization, so that we can be more relaxed

(3) the third requirement is drainage capacity. Although this kind of plant likes humidity, it is also afraid of waterlogging and cannot accumulate water. Therefore, drainage is also very important.

(4) there must be good air permeability, which is conducive to plant respiration.

(5) the last one is acid-base. In view of the plant's habits and characteristics, it is better to choose a slightly acidic flower soil.

2. What soil to choose

(1) mountain mud, vegetable garden soil and humus soil can be mixed in a ratio of one to one. In addition, a proper amount of river sand can also be added. In addition, you can mix in some fermented organic fertilizer or bone meal, which is used to make base fertilizer. If you want to adjust acid and alkali, then you can add some plant ash

(2) if the above soil is not easy to mix, then you can use ordinary garden soil, or sand, and add a small amount of base fertilizer.

(3) if not, add some sand with some common soil. However, this can not meet the needs of the future, we still have to add artificial fertilizer when maintaining
