Notes on hydroponic cultivation of dieffenbachia

Evergreen leaves are relatively large, the color is very bright, has a very high ornamental value, so many friends who love plants will plant a pot at home, it can be soil culture, but most of my friends like hydroponic, it is said that this viewing effect is better, the following to introduce its hydroponic method, what are the specific precautions.

hydroponic culture method of dieffenbachia variegata

1. Plant selection

Dieffenbachia flower hydroponics nature must first select the plant, there are generally two main methods now, that is, from the planting of Dieffenbachia flower branch water insertion, 10 days or so can sprout new roots. Can also be used to wash the roots of hydroponics, that is, the roots of the soil planted flowers and leaves of Evergreen for cleaning and then hydroponics culture, can be repeatedly washed on tap water, but be careful not to hurt the roots.

2, water quality selection

The water source for hydroponics conservation of Dieffenbachia variegata should be disinfected tap water that meets the national drinking water standard.

3. Water quantity selection

Root-washing dieffenbachia early hydroponics do not need to add nutrient solution, this is because the roots are injured (how much will be injured when removing the soil), and water can not be added more, to a little over the roots can be, water quality should be clean, it is best to choose rain or dried tap water.

4. Use of nutrient solution

Dieffenbachia leaves hydroponics about 3 weeks can increase nutrient solution, the first to a small amount, later according to the growth discretion can be applied. The pH value of hydroponic nutrient solution is 6.0 to 7.0, and the height in the bottle should not exceed 50% of the root height. Change the nutrient solution once or twice a week. The higher the ambient temperature, the higher the frequency of changing the nutrient solution. Because the amount of dissolved oxygen in the nutrient solution should be increased as much as possible.

Precautions during hydroponics

Evergreen hi higher humidity, bogey dry, growth period should often spray water to stems and leaves.

The reason why dieffenbachia grows slowly

1, caused by light: although it prefers warm sunlight, but can not let the strong light direct, when exposed to strong light, it will make its leaves become dull, and it will also affect its growth, we will say that it grows too slowly.

2, soil caused: in the process of its growth, soil should also be very important, this is its root, so when choosing soil, we must choose some that meet its growth requirements.

3, fertilizer caused: in June to October every year, it will enter its growth period, that is, it grows the most vigorous period, this time the nutrients needed are very much, if not satisfied, then it will slow down growth.

4, caused by pests and diseases: when growing, it will inevitably be attacked by diseases, and this will directly hinder its growth and become slow.

The solution to the problem of slow growth of dieffenbachia

The most basic condition for any plant growth is light. If the light is not enough, the plant's ability to absorb nutrients will be weakened, and metabolism will be slow, so it will cause its growth to stagnate. At this time, it must be properly exposed to sunlight.

2, if the selected soil drainage is not good, or not loose and fertile, then it will also affect its normal growth. Therefore, we need to find some fertile and well-drained soil. In addition, when selecting flower pots, we should also look at its drainage.

3, the growth period needs sufficient fertilizer, generally at this time we need about 10 days to apply fertilizer to it, wait until autumn, you can apply another 2 times phosphorus fertilizer. Only in this way can it meet its growth needs and grow normally.

4, the emergence of disease, we must observe their own plants in time to see if there is a disease, if there is no need to adopt some methods to eliminate them in time, so as to restore its growth.

It seems that if you want to grow well, you have to spend a lot of effort, when your flowers grow slowly, we can prescribe the right medicine according to the symptoms, should be able to solve, and today we also introduced the method of hydroponics, like friends hurry up.
