Container and planting skills for growing vegetables on family balcony Daquan Container selection and planting precautions for growing vegetables on family balcony

1. container selection skills: materials, ceramic and wooden containers drain faster than plastic, and need more watering. Plastic is light and easy to be blown down by the wind. Don't put it by the window. Size, the container for growing vegetables should be bigger than smaller, after all, plants will grow, and having enough space is also a good environment. Larger containers not only have extra space to put fertilizer, but also are not easy to dry up when watering in summer, because the containers are large enough and have large water storage capacity. Color, use black with caution, because black absorbs heat, which may damage plant roots after absorbing too much heat. Affect the growth, but if you choose black, you'd better paint it with a lighter color or cover it up. Avoid direct sunlight. Drainage: there must be drainage holes at the bottom of the container. If the drainage is not well discharged, the plant roots will be easily suffocated and rotted; However, if the drainage is too fast, the plants will be short of water, and the water will be insufficient and die. You can also buy professional containers from the market, and there are very neat and small drainage holes at the bottom.

2. Planting skills: When growing vegetables at home, the flowerpots should be large enough. The containers for growing vegetables can be old flowerpots, old washbasins, some foam boxes, empty oil pots and the like, but you can't use flowerpots that are too small, otherwise nothing can be planted, the soil is too small and the fertility is insufficient. Moreover, no matter what containers are used for growing vegetables, there must be drainage holes and air holes at the bottom, that is, a few small holes are punched. Planting vegetables on the balcony, the soil should be fertile enough, and the soil for growing vegetables is preferably rich in humus, which can be the soil or garden soil found by yourself outside. It is very important to bask in the sun. If possible, try to move to the outdoor terrace to raise and bask in the sun, so that vegetable seedlings should not grow in vain and will not grow old. Moreover, more sunshine will make them short and strong, bloom more and bear more fruits. Soil, but some humus soil, peat or decomposed organic fertilizer must be added to increase nutrients.
