Why wash the roots of hydroponic flowers?

Hydroponic flower culture is a very popular cultivation method for many flower friends now, because hydroponic flowers are cleaner than soil culture, and the cultivation method is easier. However, hydroponic flowers need to change water to wash their roots during daily maintenance, which is an important link to ensure that hydroponic flowers can grow well.

1. 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 of oxygen in water will gradually decrease with the growth of flowers. When reduced to a certain extent, it will affect the growth of flowers due to hypoxia, so it is necessary to change water to supplement new oxygen.

2. the roots of hydroponic flowers grow in water, on the one hand, absorb nutrients in 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. On the other hand, there is no bottom hole in the hydroponic container, and these organic substances, wastes or toxins are all deposited in the water and are easily inhaled into the body by plants again, resulting in a vicious circle of repeated absorption, excretion, re-absorption and re-excretion. it is very unfavorable to the normal growth and physiological function of flowers.

3. the nutrient fertilizer often applied to the water by hydroponic flowers, except that some mineral elements are absorbed by the root system, the rest remain in the water, when the residual material reaches a certain amount, it will also do some harm to the flowers. Fourth, the roots of hydroponic flowers growing in water for a long time will produce a kind of mucus, which will not only affect the absorption of nutrients by flower roots, but also pollute the water. Due to the above reasons, hydroponic flowers must be managed by regular water change and root washing.

Introduction to the method of changing water and washing roots of hydroponic flowers

Nowadays, many flower friends who like flowers and plants are no longer satisfied with the flowers grown in the soil, and many of them are trying fresh breeding methods such as hydroponic culture. However, if you want to raise hydroponic flowers well, you must know when to change water and wash their roots. So why change the water and wash the roots of hydroponic flowers? Do you have any theories?

I. the reasons for washing roots and changing water for hydroponic flowers

First of all, 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 of oxygen in water will gradually decrease with the growth of flowers, when reduced to a certain extent, it will affect the growth of flowers due to hypoxia, so it is necessary to change water to supplement new oxygen.

Secondly, the roots of hydroponic flowers grow in water, on the one hand, absorb nutrients in 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. On the other hand, there is no bottom hole in the hydroponic container, and these organic substances, wastes or toxins are all deposited in the water and are easily inhaled into the body by plants again, resulting in a vicious circle of repeated absorption, excretion, re-absorption and re-excretion. it is very unfavorable to the normal growth and physiological function of flowers.

In addition, the nutrient fertilizer often applied to the water by hydroponic flowers, except that some mineral elements are absorbed by the root system, the rest remain in the water, when the residual material reaches a certain amount, it will also do some harm to the flowers.

Finally, the roots of hydroponic flowers growing in water for a long time will produce a kind of mucus, which will not only affect the absorption of nutrients by flower roots, but also pollute the water. Due to the above reasons, hydroponic flowers must be managed by regular water change and root washing.

So, how do we master the technology and time of root washing by changing water?

Usually the water is dirty to change, generally in 20 days, 30 days or so, it is better to change once, of course, according to some conditions to be flexible.

According to different kinds of flowers and their adaptation to hydroponic conditions, the water should be changed regularly. Some flowers, especially aquatic or wet flowers, are well adapted to the hydroponic environment. After hydroponic cultivation, they can continue to grow new roots on the original roots and grow well. For these flowers, the interval between changing water can be longer. However, some flowers are not suitable for hydroponic environment after hydroponic cultivation, and their recovery and growth is slow, and even the root system will rot after hydroponic cultivation. 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 times of changing water can not be gradually reduced until the new roots germinate and return to normal growth.

II. Requirements for water quality of hydroponic flowers

It's better to have pure water, or tap water. As the dissolved oxygen in water decreases with the increase of salt concentration, pure water belongs to desalted water with low salt content, so it is suitable for hydroponic flowers. In addition to low salt content, pure water has the advantages of good transparency and no pollution, so it is the most ideal water for hydroponic flowers. In addition, qualified drinking tap water can also be used for hydroponic flower culture. After filtration, disinfection and impurity removal, tap water has lower salt content and fewer germs to a certain extent. It is a more suitable water for hydroponic flowers. However, tap water disinfection commonly used liquid chlorine, excessive chlorine is harmful to flower roots, in order to release chlorine, need to be placed for a period of time before use. River water, lake water, pond water and well water are high in salt and can not be used for hydroponic flowers.

Special reminder: when washing the roots of hydroponic flowers, you must be gentle and not rough, so as not to destroy the tender roots.

In fact, hydroponic flowers should not only pay attention to root washing and water change, but also very important to choose utensils of the right size. Because hydroponic flowers can show their perfection only in transparent utensils. So flower friends must not ignore the choice of utensils!

Hydroponic flowers change water to wash roots now many flower lovers like to try hydroponic flowers, some are bought directly from the market, but whether they are bought or cultivated by themselves, for hydroponic flowers, regular water washing is particularly important. Here we introduce the method of hydroponic flower water washing. The management technology of hydroponic flowers changing water and washing roots is an important link to ensure the good growth of hydroponic flowers. So why do you want to change the water to wash the roots of hydroponic flowers? First, the conditions for plant growth are mainly water, nutrients and air, and the water and nutrients of hydroponic flowers can absolutely guarantee their needs, while the oxygen content of oxygen in water will gradually decrease with the growth of flowers, when reduced to a certain extent, it will affect the growth of flowers due to hypoxia, so it is necessary to change water to supplement new oxygen. Hydroponic flowers change water to wash roots II. Hydroponic flowers grow in water roots, on the one hand, absorb nutrients in the water, on the other hand, discharge some organic matter into the water, but 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. On the other hand, there is no bottom hole in the hydroponic container, and these organic substances, wastes or toxins are all deposited in the water and are easily inhaled into the body by plants again, resulting in a vicious circle of repeated absorption, excretion, re-absorption and re-excretion. it is very unfavorable to the normal growth and physiological function of flowers.

Hydroponic flowers often apply nutritional fertilizer to the water, except for some mineral elements absorbed by the roots, the rest remain in the water, when the residual substance reaches a certain amount, it will also do some harm to the flowers. Fourth, the roots of hydroponic flowers growing in water for a long time will produce a kind of mucus, which will not only affect the absorption of nutrients by flower roots, but also pollute the water. Due to the above reasons, hydroponic flowers must be managed by regular water change and root washing. Hydroponic flowers change water to wash roots so, how do we master the technology and time of washing roots with water? Generally speaking, the water is changed when it is dirty, and it is better to change it once in 20 days or so. Of course, it is also necessary to flexibly master it according to some conditions: according to different flower species and their adaptation to hydroponic conditions, change water regularly. Some flowers, especially aquatic or wet flowers, are well adapted to the hydroponic environment. After hydroponic cultivation, they can continue to grow new roots on the original roots and grow well. For these flowers, the interval between changing water can be longer. However, some flowers do not adapt to the hydroponic environment after hydroponic cultivation, and their recovery and growth is slow, and even root rot occurs after hydroponic cultivation. 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 times of changing water can not be gradually reduced until the new roots germinate and return to normal growth. Changing water and washing roots of hydroponic flowers
