Choose these 6 types of granular flowers to grow flowers. They are breathable and water-retaining, and the flower roots will not rot and will be stronger!

Ceramsite

Ceramsite is also called foamed refined stone. It is fired at high temperature and has many small holes on the surface, which is conducive to water and air permeability. Generally, we lay ceramsite on the bottom of the pot or use it as a pavement to absorb excess water and prevent root rot. If you use ceramics to line the bottom of the pot, you can spread it on the bottom of the flowerpot. Generally, the ground is placed in a deep flower pot, about 5cm above the surface of the flower soil, leaving a distance above it for easy watering.

Coarse sand

Coarse sand is also river sand. It is a material that is very draining and breathable. Generally, we will mix it with nutrient soil at a ratio of 1:1 to prepare flower soil. Coarse sand can effectively prevent soil compaction, provide ventilation and drainage, and prevent plant root rot. Coarse sand works well as a medium for rooting green plant cuttings.

Brick tiles

Tiles also have good drainage and can absorb excess water and prevent plant root rot. When using it, first knock the tiles into small pieces of about 1cm. When you pad the basin floor, be careful not to block the drainage holes with it. It can also be used as pavement.

Sawdust

Sawdust has good looseness, air permeability, water permeability, water retention properties, and strong thermal insulation properties, which is very beneficial to the growth of plant roots. Fresh sawdust must be broken down before it can be mixed into the soil. Put the sawdust into a plastic bag, pour it into clean water, seal it, and expose it to the sun. After 1 to 2 months, the color turns black and it decomposes. Rotted sawdust can be mixed into the soil or dried and used as pavement. Using sawdust to grow orchids can prevent orchids from root rot and make them grow stronger.

Charcoal

Charcoal has a loose texture, not only has strong drainage and breathability, but also has good moisturizing properties. It can bring a good temperature and humidity environment to plants, prevent root rot, and promote healthy growth of flowers. When using it, first break the charcoal into small pieces of about half a centimeter, rinse it repeatedly with water, then dry it, and then mix it evenly with garden soil in a ratio of 1:2 as pot soil.

Cinder

Completely burned cinder has many small holes, giving it good drainage and air permeability. The trace elements contained in it can also provide nutrients for flowers. Be careful not to use black unburned cinders. After the cinders are broken into tiny particles, they should be rinsed repeatedly with clean water to remove the alkali. It is best to soak them for 2 to 3 days, otherwise it will easily cause the yellow leaves of the plants to rot. The treated cinders and garden soil can be mixed at a ratio of 1:2 to make flower soil, which can not only drain and breathe, but also provide nutrients for flowers. Okay, let’s talk about these six types of particles today. The flowers here don’t drain well and rot easily, so give it a try now!
