Because coconut bricks are compressed from coconut bran, they can often be directly put into soil to alleviate microbial decomposition, which is beneficial to the full absorption of nutrients by roots during plant growth, and can also enhance the air permeability and drainage of soil and avoid root rot caused by stagnant water. Coconut bricks can also be mixed with organic compound fertilizer to improve the nutrient content in the soil.
Usually, the organic compound fertilizer is sandwiched between two coconut bricks. It is necessary to ensure that the organic fertilizer is decomposed and fermented, and the concentration is not too high. Then it is put into the soil, and the surface needs to be covered with a layer of fine soil to reduce transpiration. Coconut bricks have strong water retention and can provide sufficient water for plant growth. When watering, control the amount of water. When watering, it is very likely that water will not flow out from the bottom of the basin. At this time, it is only necessary to ensure that the surface soil is moist and avoid root rot caused by excessive watering.
How long does it take to soak coconut bricks?
1. It only takes about fifteen minutes to soak a coconut brick.
2. Coconut bricks do not need to be dried after soaking. Normally, coconut bricks should be used as soon as possible after soaking. When we soak coconut bricks, we just need to soak them in clear water for about fifteen minutes, and then we can use them by pouring out the excess water after soaking the coconut bricks.
3. Coconut brick has good ventilation and drainage ability, which is very suitable for planting flowers. However, there are not many nutrients in coconut bricks, so when planting flowers, fertilizers should be mixed to prevent flowers from growing badly because of lack of nutrition.
