Moreover, ensuring air circulation is firstly to promote air circulation, and secondly, it can increase the oxygen content of the soil so that the roots of the plants will not rot due to lack of oxygen. If there is no ventilation, you can use a small fan to blow it, which can also have the desired effect.
