MAINTAINING YOUR PLANTS:
SOIL A mixture with small medium capillary
that hold the water till the plant absorbers it up, and larger capillary that
drains and let air through. At the same time, it have to be able to
maintain the right pH, and hold the nutrition. pH can be tricky, but a
neutral media and the right watering water usually does it.
Use
sphagnum to lover the pH and limestone to raise it. If you are able to balance nutrition and pH, you should be able to use the same soil for many years in a row, just like in the nature. But it have to be structure stabile. If it holds too much fast decomposing organic material, it will soon end up choking the roots. I have experienced how important
organic / mineral soil is to some species, but never found a scientific
explanation. Despite I fail to explain it, it have to be taken into
consideration. Which soil you chooses, will depend on the species, the environment, the Pots and how you are Watering - and what you can get your hands in. |
