Last Updated: 2024/11/10, Phalaenopsis is an air root organism, which can also be cultured in water. The process of hydroponic culture is cleaning roots, selecting containers, fixing plants, and spraying water. When hydroponic culture, it is necessary to choose a transparent container to hold the plant, clean up the old and rotten roots, fix the plant with iron wire and add organic nutrient solution to provide nutrition.

First, reasons

Phalaenopsis is a perennial herb that grows in tropical rain forests with high temperature and humidity. It is an aerial root creature, and the root system is not afraid of water, so it can also grow in water. There is a symbiotic orchid in the root system of orchids, which should be prevented from killing orchids by inorganic fertilizers in hydroponic culture.

2. Hydroponic culture method

1. Clean the root system: remove both the rotten root and the old root, then soak it with insecticide and sterilizer, and then put the plant in a cool place to dry.

2, choose a container: choose a transparent glass or plastic container, transparent container is easy to observe the growth of the root, but also more beautiful.

3. Fixed plant: insert the dried plant into the container. If you can't fix the plant, you can find a suitable thickness of iron wire to wind it into a ring, wind the root and stem together, and then hang it on the mouth of the container.

4. Water spray maintenance: after fixing the plant, take care not to let the water touch the root as far as possible, and spray the right amount of water according to the humidity of the air. When planting, you can add some organic nutrient solution or a small amount of sugar water.
