Which soil for which plant ?
Choosing a suitable soil for your plant is not something to be taken lightly! On the contrary, it is essential and all too often, we do not pay attention to it. So, today we explain why it is essential and how to choose your soil well.
Each plant comes from different parts of the world with different soil types, so it is essential to adapt the soil to each of them in order to provide it with the soil in which it naturally flourished in the wild.
Let us understand that it is within this mass that it will develop one of its vital organs to feed itself, its roots. It is therefore appropriate to respect nature and to reproduce it. For example, the small roots of succulents would be unable to pierce the earth of a heavy and clayey soil and conversely, a shrub like the cypress would only survive in a sandy soil where its roots would dry out very quickly.
Thus, succulents, succulents or cacti originating from the southern hemisphere, aromatic plants called southern plants such as thyme or rosemary grow on stony soils. It is therefore necessary to have a light, poor and draining soil with sand or perlite which allows rapid drying of the clods without permanent humidity. For this, there are cactus pots.
Green plants or flowering plants need soil that is both rich and light. A traditional or universal potting soil for green plants or flowering plants is to be used.
As for shrubs or fruit trees, a soil with a clayey, humus-rich, very fertile tendency will be ideal.
In any case, the perfect combination for having beautiful plants is the clever dosage of soil/water/exposure. Know that if one of these elements is not adapted to the cultivation of a plant, you will never be able to get the best out of it despite all your good will.
Be respectful and attentive to the needs of your plants, they will repay you a thousand times over. by magnificent growths !
