Nutrient soil with "coco coir brick", a piece can raise all the flowers, other flower soil are saved

Nutrient soil, pine needle soil, humus is a good substrate to raise flowers and planting grass, but these soil do not necessarily raise flowers well, we also need a substrate that looks somewhat similar to ordinary red brick blocks, which is coir bricks.

Coconut coir

Coconut coir is a coconut shell fiber processing process off an organic medium, usually after high pressure and then made into the shape of bricks, we use the time to soak with water, and then dry to get the hairy coir. The pine needle soil is the natural shedding of pine needles, and then after the sun and rain and a long time fermentation and the formation of a slightly acidic medium, theoretically also comes under the category of humus.

Pine needle soil

Coconut husk and pine needle soil can be used to plant succulents, but they each have their own advantages and disadvantages, first of all, the advantages of coconut husk is clean, do not have to worry about the inside of the insect eggs and other things, and breathability is also very good, at the same time, the price is cheap, a few dollars will be able to buy two coconut bricks, and a coconut brick soak after a pot of coco coir can be obtained from the cost is very cost-effective. Cost-effective is very cost-effective.

Secondly, the disadvantage of coconut husk is water retention is too good and no nutrients, if use it alone planting succulent, it will lead to succulent root rot black rot, so can only be a small amount of add matching soil use. At the same time in the use of coco coir plus particles of soil must be appropriate fertilization, otherwise the succulent will not be able to grow normally because of insufficient nutrients.

Additionally, the advantages of pine needle soil is rich in nutrients, at the same time with the coconut coir has good permeability, the more critical is the pine needles do not have to spend money, go to the pine forest to collect can. Of course, pine needle soil is also a disadvantage, after all, is in the wild environment of natural fermentation, there must be a lot of insect eggs and bacteria, and there are twigs and weeds and other things, must be screened and sterilized before the soil can be used.

Of course, if you want to choose one of the coconut coir and pine needle soil to planting succulent soil, I recommend that the trouble is to choose coconut coir, do not mind the trouble is to choose the pine needle soil, as long as we use the screening before, and moderate exposure to disinfection, and at the same time put some insecticides on it.
