How to master the skill of changing water for family hydroponic flowers?

Changing water for hydroponic flowers is a key step to ensure the healthy growth of hydroponic flowers, so what are the reasons and maintenance skills for hydroponic flowers to change water regularly?

Reasons for regular water change of hydroponic flowers:

First, the conditions for plant growth are mainly water, nutrients and air, the water and nutrients of hydroponic flowers can absolutely guarantee their needs, and the oxygen content in water will slowly decrease with the growth of flowers, when reduced to a certain extent, it will have an impact on the growth of flowers, so it is necessary to supplement oxygen by changing water.

Second, the roots of hydroponic flowers grow in the water, on the one hand, absorb nutrients from the water, on the other hand, discharge some organic matter into the water, there are also wastes or toxins, and deposit in the water. When these organic compounds are cultivated in soil, they mainly dissolve the nutrients which are not easily absorbed by the roots, while the wastes and toxins are distributed in the soil space or flow out from the leaks at the bottom of the basin, which will not be absorbed by the roots and affect the normal growth of flowers.

When flowers are hydroponically cultured, these organic compounds, wastes or toxins are deposited in the water and are easily absorbed by plants again, which is not conducive to the growth of flowers.

Third, hydroponic flowers often use nutrient fertilizer, in addition to part of the nutrients are absorbed by the root, the rest remain in the water, when the residual substance reaches a certain amount, it will do harm to the growth of flowers.

Fourth, hydroponic flower roots will produce a kind of mucus, which not only affects the absorption of nutrients in flower roots, but also pollutes the water.

Techniques of changing water for hydroponic flowers:

Under normal circumstances, hydroponic flowers can be changed once in two weeks or so, and of course they should be flexibly mastered according to some specific conditions.

According to different flower species and their adaptation to hydroponic conditions, the water should be changed regularly. Some flowers, especially aquatic or water-loving flowers, are well adapted to the hydroponic environment, which can quickly produce new roots and grow well. For these flowers, the water change interval can be longer.

There are some flowers after hydroponic culture do not adapt to the hydroponic environment, slow growth, and even root rot. For these flowers, in the early stage of entering the hydroponic environment, the water should be changed frequently, or even once a day or two. The frequency of changing water can not be gradually reduced until it produces new roots and returns to normal growth.
