For indoor plants, taking into account their individual requirements are soil mixtures of various combinations of the turf, leaves, humus, compost and peat lands. In addition, use a clean river sand and moss (sphagnum).

 Turf ground with clay soils refers to heavy land; sheet, sod with sandy soil and manure, humus – to the lungs. Turf ground is very nourishing. It is obtained from humus sliced layers of turf stacked in a pile, grass to grass, with layers of cow dung. Watering water and slurry accelerate the decomposition of sod. Usually humus turf rather than one year. Turf ground, used in a mixture with other soil and sand. Light grassy ground improves by adding to her clay, and heavy – the addition of sand. 

 Leaf ground in earthen mixtures plays a role ripper. This land is obtained from humus collected in a heap in autumn or spring leaf litter. Just like when you receive a turf ground, piles of leaves and pour shovel. For humus sheet and get enough of leaf 1 – 2 years. Of leaf (2 parts) in a mixture of peat (I part) and sand (1 part) can replace heath land which is not always possible to get.

  Humus soil rich in nutrients. It turns out she spent the greenhouse manure as a result of its expansion in 2-3 years.

 Peat land, which differs looseness and lightness, is used to improve other lands. Sweat for it from the peat, decomposed into a period of not less than one year. Peat in piles pour slurry and lime added to it. The peat soil has an acid reaction; this land is particularly needed in the culture of hydrangeas, azaleas, camellias and rhododendrons, require acidic soils. Well prepared peat land – the best for sowing small seeds and plant propagation by cuttings. Peat land should not be highly dried.

 Compost land obtained as a result of the expansion (2-3 years) of organic waste. This land is rich in nutrients, but is easily compacted, which is its major drawback.

  Many houseplants can be used soil from the garden, unless it is infected with pests and pathogens.

  River coarse white sand makes soil mixtures loose and porosity. Ground-grained red sand in horticulture is not useful, and use it only after very thorough cleaning.

To give the looseness of the soil, light and water absorption to her mixes white marsh moss (sphagnum). Previously it is dried and rubbed through a sieve. In addition, the moss is used in germination of large seeds, with the distillation lily of the valley, to cover out of soil orchids. The moss is also used for covering of trunks of plants, forming aerial roots, and cover the pots and the ground from drying out. When germination of seeds consumed chopped moss mixed with coarse sand.
