This is a perennial herbaceous plant. It is widely distributed in my country and is the city flower of Qingzhou City. It is popular for its bright flowers and bright, shiny green leaves. However, soil selection is very important for its growth. So, what kind of soil is better to choose?

1. Specific requirements

1. Specific requirements

(1) The first point is looseness. Most plants have this requirement. Only when the flower soil is loose can it be conducive to plant breathing. On the contrary, the soil is clumped, which is not conducive to plant growth.

(2) The second requirement is good drainage. This is because although this plant likes moisture, it is also afraid of waterlogging. If there is too much water, it may corrode the roots. If the drainage is good, even if you pour too much at one time, it can be drained out in time.

(3) The third is breathability. This is the same as loose, and it is also conducive to breathing.

(4) There are also Nutritious. This kind of plant requires a lot of nutrients from growth to flowering. Generally speaking, we need to fertilize it regularly. If the selected soil contains more nutrients, less fertilizer can be applied.

(5) The last one is about pH. For this plant, acidic soil is best. However, it shouldn’t be too sour.

2. Prepare soil

(1) You can mix leaf mold soil and garden soil. After mixing it in a ratio of two to one, add some superphosphate. In this way, the nutritious soil is prepared.

(2) Peat and perlite can also be used. Mix them equally in a ratio of two to one. Then, river mud is prepared, crushed and dried, and then mixed in.

3. Precautions

Because it has a relatively large demand for nutrients, a little base fertilizer can be mixed into the soil.
