Coconut bran is often used to grow plants, because it has good air permeability, good water permeability, and can retain water and fertilizer very well. It is a good raw material for flower cultivation.

Plants grown with coconut bran pot soil can not only prevent soil compaction, but also prevent withering, and no weeds will grow on the pot soil, making the bonsai look cleaner and fresher.

However, coconut shells have a very strong water retention capacity, and if used directly, it is likely to cause plants to rot. So, what should you do if coconut bran is too moisturizing?

What can coconut shells be used for?

Coconut shell is a good natural resource that can be reused, such as in horticultural planting.

(1) Coconut bran can be directly used to plant other crops. It is better to match deep and shallow root crops. For example, coconut bran planting bags are used to grow strawberries in winter, and strawberry seedlings can be removed at the end of the harvest season, that is, the first In the spring of the second year, plant tomatoes, cucumbers and other crops.

(2) Soil improvement. This is the easiest and quickest way to mix coconut soil directly into the soil to increase the soil's organic content, improve the soil's ability to hold air and water, and provide plants with some nutrients.

(3) Reuse as organic fertilizer. Waste coconut bran is a very good organic fertilizer. If there is a lot of waste coconut bran, you can contact the local organic fertilizer factory to purchase it in a unified manner. Mix the waste coconut bran with other fertilizers in a certain proportion, and you can really turn waste into waste. Treasure, become an old-fashioned nutrient soil for green engineering.

Of course, at this point, we should pay attention to disinfection and decomposition to kill some microorganisms in the coconut shell. Coconut bran is the second most important cultivation raw material after peat.

How to use coconut bran?

Coconut bran treatment: Put the coconut bran in a bucket, soak it with 10 times the water, and then crush it. Strain off the excess water, then add an appropriate amount of water to rinse off the excess salt in the coconut bran, and then take it out.

Treated coconut bran is used. Coconut bran itself does not have any nutrients, so fertilizers should be added appropriately when eating. Coconut husk is a major plant germination, which does not provide enough nutrients for the plant.

In order for plants to grow, appropriate fertilizers must be added, or fertilizers must be applied carefully. Mix coconut bark with other growing media: peat, perlite, vermiculite, slow-release fertilizers, and other materials can be used. The mixing ratio should be adapted to the needs of different crops.

What should I do if coconut bran is too moisturizing?

Incorporating coconut bran into the sandy soil can greatly reduce the water retention of the soil and prevent the accumulation of water in the potted plants and cause the plants to rot.

Due to the lack of nutrients in coconut bran and granular medium, the soil fertility is generally required to be high to promote the growth of flowers. After all, for any plant to grow, it must have enough nutrients.

Therefore, when preparing the soil, it is better to use coconut bran, garden soil and perlite, and prepare it according to 4:5:1. You can also mix some mixed fertilizers to increase the fertility of the potting soil. In addition, there are many ways to use coconut bran for soil.

Of course, different plants need different soils. If it is a plant that likes moisture and is not drought-tolerant, you must use a different potting soil. Therefore, according to the actual situation, the proportion of substrates such as coconut bran can be appropriately adjusted, or the substrate can be changed to make the soil achieve a suitable ratio.
