Methods of hydroponic culture of potted plants

Many foliage plants can be hydroponically cultured. Because hydroponics are relatively clean and easy to maintain, they are very popular. However, if you want to turn potted plants into hydroponic cultivation, you need to pay attention to the methods that should be changed.

Hanging orchid

The first step is to determine the object of hydroponics.

General indoor tropical foliage plants can be hydroponically cultivated, and those with air roots are the best. Such as rubber trees, green baskets, tortoise back bamboo (details), sea taros, evergreen, pineapples, ferns, hanging orchids and so on. The above plants had better start hydroponic culture in the seedling stage, when hydroponic culture, the plant is easy to "tame".

The second step is to wash the roots

Dig the selected plants out of the soil, shake them gently with your hands, and pat them slowly (don't try too hard to hurt the roots). After shaking the soil and exposing all the roots. Soak it in clean water for 20 minutes, then gently wash the root with your hands, and then change the water for 3 times until the root is completely soil-free. If necessary, it can be dug out slowly with bamboo sticks, and there must be no soil left. this is one of the important links in the success of hydroponics, and we must not be negligent. After washing the roots, cut off more than the old roots properly, because the roots of hydroponic flowers are also the focus of ornamental, so root cleanliness is also a very important part.

The third step, root.

To promote the root is to turn the native root into the aquatic root. The specific method is: soak the washed plant root in the prepared nutrient solution for about 10 minutes, put it into the foam plate or perlite, so that the root touches the water surface (pay attention to increase the oxygen content in the water at any time). The plants treated in this way will soon grow water and take root.

Step four, put on the basin.

When the water root grows to about two centimeters, it can be put into a suitable bottle for hydroponic management.

Introduction of hydroponic culture methods of 8 common potted plants! You can feed without care.

In recent years, with the continuous improvement of living standards, people more and more like to raise some potted plants at home, which can not only purify the air and green environment, but also refresh and regulate life. However, the commonly used soil culture methods, changing pots and changing soil are quite tedious and unsanitary, so many friends like hydroponic potted plants, which are convenient to maintain and clean at the same time. The following editor will introduce some common methods of hydroponic culture of potted plants. Let's take a look.

Picture: Ivy

I. hydroponic culture of ivy

First of all, take the ivy out of the basin, put the soil into the water by washing the roots, and carefully take out the soil from the roots. Be careful not to break the root system, if the root injury is not conducive to the later hydroponic culture. After the plant is treated, put the plant in a hydroponic container and put it in the right position. The water should not exceed the root of 2 stroke 3 can be. In the initial stage of hydroponics, attention should be paid to changing water frequently, preferably once a day or two, so as to ensure the cleanliness of the water body and prevent the lower end of branches from rotting. In about 10 days, ivy will grow white and tender and take root. After the new roots grow, you should also change the water frequently. After about 2 or 3 weeks, hydroponic ivy will show a lush growth trend. After the normal growth of ivy, you can add a few drops of nutrient solution to the water each time you change the water. Before hydroponic ivy takes root, do not give light. Place hydroponic ivy in astigmatism or shade at the right temperature, not too hot or too cold. After rooting, make up the light properly and scatter the light. Do not think that water-cultured ivy as long as timely watering, every once in a while with clean water spray wash branches and leaves, in order to improve air humidity, keep the leaves clean and green. In the middle of summer, try to breed with clear water.

It is very important to choose good materials when hydroponics, to choose healthy and strong branches with aerial roots. Such branches and stems can quickly adapt to the water environment when put into clear water, and water can take root in 10 days. We should pay attention to the part that is put into the water without leaves, otherwise it will affect the water quality. Select the pot plant with good plant type, separate the plant from the pot soil, wash the soil on the root system, and remember not to hurt the rhizome. Cut off the excess old roots and put them directly in clean water. It is easy to survive. Change the water frequently in the first few days of hydroponics, and change the water every two or three days. The water temperature should be close to the room temperature. After the roots are cultured in water, the number of times of changing water is reduced, and it can be changed once a week. After the growth of new leaves, change every 10 days, and timely spray nutrient solution on the leaves, which can make the leaves green and shiny. The root system of hydroponic green radish is very important. Pay attention to frequent cleaning and repair. If the root system is too long, it should be cut short in time to reduce the loss of nutrition. Root decay should also be cleaned in time, the rotten roots should be removed, and then restored after disinfection with potassium permanganate solution. After disinfection, the root system should be more maintained, and the water should be changed once every 2 days, and the change of water can be reduced after recovery. Hydroponic green pineapple needs to receive enough scattered light to grow healthily. Usually put in a place with enough scattered light, make sure to receive a few hours of light every ten days, so as to ensure that the leaves are green and shiny. Green pineapple likes a humid environment. When the air is dry, it often sprays water on the leaves to increase humidity, and it can also play a role in cleaning the leaves.

Third, the hydroponic culture method of Cymbidium.

The root of the orchid is white and fat, which is very suitable for viewing. The most important point is that there is no soil interference, when it is muggy in summer, the orchid can also grow in a cool environment. Therefore, hydroponic hanging orchids try to choose a transparent glass container, which can not only view the leaves, but also appreciate the roots, so that the situation of hydroponics can be adjusted in time. Take the soil culture orchid out of the basin and rinse the soil from the root with slow water. Use scissors to cut off the old and rotten roots, keep the whitish fibrous roots, clean up the diseased and residual leaves, and give the orchid plant a new look. Then soak the roots of the plant in potassium permanganate solution for 10 minutes and disinfect them. Rinse the leaves with slow water, wash the soil and dust of the leaves clean, pay attention to do not hurt the leaves in the process of operation, and ensure the integrity of the leaves. Put the treated orchid into a hydroponic container, a professional hydroponic container (with a water basket), fix the orchid and fix it with stones to ensure that the plant is in an upright state; ordinary glassware, put the plant straight and the leaf is close to the bottle wall. During the fixation process, avoid damaging the roots and let the roots be scattered around the container. Pour water along one side of the bottle wall, and the water will not pass through the root of the plant.

First of all, wash the roots of Dryopteris cultivated in soil and disinfect them with potassium permanganate. Then find a container to add water, match it with a proper proportion of nutrient solution (which can be bought on the market) or fix it on the mouth of the container or on the surface of the water. The fern should be planted on the coral stone and put the coral stone directly in the water, which will grow well after survival. Coral stone can be bought in a rockery shop in the flower-and-bird market. There are many styles, so you can choose. The coral stone should be desalted by soaking before use. In order to let the stone grow moss, can not be kept indoors for a long time, properly accept the sun. When hydroponic culture, the water should not drown the head of Dryopteris. Replenish water in time during maintenance, 5-10 can be changed once.

Douban green water culture needs a certain adaptation time, which is usually carried out in April-May in spring. After water culture, it is put in a cool place to slow down the seedlings, which can adapt to normal growth after a week. Select the soil-cultured plants with better plant type, remove the pot, wash the soil from the roots, and then cut off the old roots and dead leaves. Soak the root of the plant, which is the root, in a 0.05% potassium permanganate solution for 10 minutes. To facilitate plant fixation, a small amount of colored stone or ceramsite can be placed in a hydroponic container to fix the root system. After putting the plant into a hydroponic container, add water to no more than 1-2-3 roots. It is best not to let the leaves soak in water during this process. At the beginning of water culture, change the water once a day, clean up the sticky material produced on the roots, and then replace it with clean water, and new roots can grow in about 10 days. Change the water 2-3 days after the root grows. Douban green water is usually used by tap water, but not by well water. Compared with other hydroponic plants, Douban green needs less nutrients and basically does not need fertilization. on the contrary, excessive fertilizer in water quality is easy to cause the growth of microorganisms in water, which is not conducive to plant growth. So change the water on time to make sure there is enough oxygen in the water.

6. the method of hydroponic culture of white palm

White palm can be cultivated in soil or in water, and the operation of water culture is simple and can be done in a few steps. First of all, take off the basin, remove the soil from the soil, clean up the old soil from the roots, and wash it with clean water. Cut off the aging and decaying roots, followed by planting, fixing the plant in the planting basket. Then add a small amount of pebbles to the hydroponic container. For ordinary hydroponics, if you choose a thin-mouth bottle, you can directly fix it with pebbles instead of choosing a planting basket; then add water, hydroponics container to ensure that there is enough water, soil cultivation to hydroponics need a certain adaptation process, so there should be a certain distance between the root and the water, so that the root breathing, to ensure that the root 1x3 into the water. The growth temperature of water-cultured white palm is 5 ℃-30 ℃, and it can grow normally in this range. Keep the plant in a place with bright light and no direct sunlight. Do not be directly exposed to strong light.

Choose the copper grass with roots, at the same time, in order to be beautiful, friends can choose to have different levels of copper grass. Put the copper grass into a prepared container, then press the root of it with pebbles and add water to it. Are the two simple steps very simple? But it takes some tricks to make the grass grow well. You don't have to change water very hard. If you change it too often, it's not good for copper grass. Basically make sure that there is enough water in the basin and you can change it once a week. In summer, you can change water more diligently to prevent mosquitoes from laying eggs in it. Copper grass Xiyang, there is enough sunlight, can grow rapidly, can not be fertilized, pay attention to receive more than 4 hours of daily sunlight. There is no big emphasis on fertilization, you can put some nutrient solution appropriately, such as quick-acting fertilizer-Huabao No.2, or slow-acting fertilizer-magic fertilizer and so on. If there is a goldfish at home, pour the water from the goldfish into the basin, which can make the grass grow better.

8. Hydroponic culture method of hyacinth

After buying the seed ball, there will be a purple protective layer on the surface, or even a small amount of soil, which we need to clean up so as not to affect the water quality of hydroponics. First rinse the seed ball in a slow stream, then peel off the purple skin until the white part is exposed. In addition, the root should also be cleaned, the ball must have drifted across the sea before it was sent to you. I don't know how much mold you have (of course you can't see it), so cut off the old root at the bottom. The old root is generally black and dirty, and the new root grown in water is beautiful. Hyacinth seed balls have not been completely clean after being washed, and they need to be sterilized. Mix the prepared carbendazim with water, soak the seed ball for 15-20 minutes, take it out, absorb the water with a paper towel, dry it naturally in a cool place, and plant it after a day. Hydroponic hyacinth only needs to put the seed ball in a container. Generally, the seed ball is 2-5 mm away from the water surface, and the amount of water should not be too much. Before taking root, it is necessary to ensure that the root system has enough space to breathe. For hydroponics is easy, you can choose a glass cup with a similar caliber. Of course, a container with a hydroponic basket is the best.

[conclusion] Ivy, green pineapple, iron fern and so on are common potted plants in daily life, which are very suitable for hydroponics. The above introduces the hydroponic culture methods of 8 kinds of potted plants, hoping to help you!

Potted plants become hydroponic plants

Hydroponic plants have gradually come into people's lives because of their cleanliness and hygiene and simple maintenance. Table case, living room kitchen, put a pot of green hydroponic plants, looks refreshing, clean, refreshing.

Nowadays, in order to meet the needs of customers, more and more hydroponic plants are sold in the flower market. But sometimes after choosing to buy a plant in the flower market, it is not long before the branches and leaves wither and appear decadent when they get home. This is because florists directly wash the soil from the roots of plants and soak them in water for profit. The real hydroponic plants are those that are adapted to the water when they are very young and have already grown water roots. For people who are not familiar with hydroponic plants, how to identify real hydroponic plants is more difficult. So, apart from the fact that we need to choose carefully when buying, the most feasible thing is to cultivate the potted plants at home into hydroponic plants by ourselves.

The first step is to determine the object of hydroponics.

General indoor tropical foliage plants can be hydroponically cultivated, and those with air roots are the best. Such as rubber tree, green basket, tortoise back bamboo, sea taro, evergreen, pineapple, fern, hanging orchid and so on.

The plants treated in this way will soon grow water and take root.

Step four, put on the basin.

When the water root grows to about two centimeters, it can be put into a suitable bottle for hydroponic management.
