The raw stone flower is "plain in appearance" among many succulents, but it has the reputation of "living stone" and is deeply loved by succulents. Their colors and shapes are similar to colored stones, and beautiful flowers will bloom from the cracks in the "stones", which is amazing. However, the conservation of the original stone flower is not an easy task, and soil preparation is particularly critical. Today, Bian Xiao will tell you about the earth-bearing stone flowers. Let's have a look!

1, soil quality

Raw stone flowers are not naturally suitable for growing in soft sandy soil. That is to say, when planting raw stone flowers, we can't use the soil and sand we usually use when planting succulents. If these two kinds of soil are used for maintenance, although they can feed, the growth of raw stone flowers will be very poor. The most suitable soil for raw stone flowers is mineral soil.

2, with soil

The original stone flower is drought-resistant and waterlogging-resistant, and the permeability and drainage performance should be taken into account when selecting soil. Ordinary soil can't be cultivated well, so it must be prepared according to its growth habits. First, perlite and peat can be used in a certain proportion, but the price of this kind of soil is relatively high, so friends can choose according to their own economic ability.

Secondly, the economical river sand and ceramsite can be mixed according to the ratio of three to one, and the cost is lower. However, the soil with loose texture generally has less nutrients, which requires everyone to supplement meat regularly.

3. There is no need to pave the road

Bian Xiao believes that the aesthetic effect is basically greater than the actual effect. Except river sand, it should be used with caution, because the moisturizing effect is too strong and airtight, so novices had better not use it. Otherwise, it will affect the growth process of succulents and cause various conservation problems, which are difficult to solve.
