Is there a plant killer? Learn this way to live without watering.

Usually in April, when we discuss succulent plants with you, we talk most about conservation, such as pots, soil, light, watering, insect control, black rot, water, and so on.

To tell you the truth, although the meat is small, there are many maintenance problems. Especially in summer, almost every day in April, people ask when the meat should be watered. Not watering is afraid of dying of thirst, watering is afraid of drowning. For this kind of "hydrophobic" starry people, it is most convenient to switch directly to hydroponic culture.

Hydroponic succulent plants are no stranger to everyone, but not many people have actually done it. So how should the hydroponic succulent be operated, and whether the water should infiltrate the roots? What problems do you need to pay attention to in hydroponics?

Let's do it after reading this article.

Meat is a water baby.

In summer, flowers and meat are difficult to raise, and hydroponic plants with their own cooling effect have become a good heart for everyone. Fresh green with a transparent glass bottle, pure natural, with its own cooling effect, become a cool place in the heat.

The effect of relieving summer heat and cooling is also excellent.

The coolness in summer and the humidifier in winter refer to hydroponic plants. Of course, not all plants can adapt to the hydroponic environment, the common green apple, hanging orchid, aloe, hyacinth, hanging orchid can be hydroponic.

In addition to these plants, plants that already grow in water can also be hydroponically cultivated. In addition, the drought-tolerant cactus and succulent plants in our impression can also be hydroponically cultivated. Perhaps there are a lot of meat powder to express confusion, succulent is not the most avoid stagnant water rotten roots, how to use water culture?

In fact, the so-called stagnant water rotten roots refers to the succulent plant roots buried in the soil, due to stagnant water resulting in poor breathing. Therefore, the main culprit of stagnant water is the lack of oxygen in the roots, not a lot of water, my friends!

Compared with soil culture, hydroponic culture has many advantages. Maintenance is very simple. It is most suitable for people like April who are addicted to work and unable to take care of plants.

In the early stages of succulent growth

It is best to use water culture to take root.

Hydroponics can also bring the double enjoyment of beauty.

After the meat is cultivated with water

You don't have to think about watering plants anymore!

Just change water and add water, very suitable for beginners and lazy people!

Hydroponic culture can make plants take root quickly.

In particular, the succulent plants just bought are relatively fragile.

If you don't bother to change the basin, hydroponics can make it grow rapidly.

Hydroponic plants take no effort to maintain, but what on earth should be done and what should be paid attention to? Take the succulent plant as an example in April. Let me get this straight for you.

The method of hydroponics

Compared with soil culture, the operation method of hydroponic culture is much simpler. Taking succulent plants as an example, there are three common methods: intact plant hydroponics, branch rooting and leaf rooting.

Intact plant

Remove the complete succulent plant from the soil and rinse the soil with water. Cut off the excess roots with scissors, leaving only a small amount of main roots. Don't rush to put it into the water after cutting it off. You need to dry it for a day or two and then put it into a hydroponic container.

The amount of water should be determined according to different succulent varieties. If the root system is developed like Yulu, you can add more water, but the stone lotus has less root whiskers, as long as you let the water touch the root.

Branch hydroponic culture

When using the rooting method of branches, the complete branches that are robust and free of diseases and insect pests should be selected, and the cut should be kept smooth and smooth.

The treatment after cutting the branches is similar to that of a complete plant and needs to be dried in a cool and ventilated place for a day or two.

Branches, leaves to take root in water to pay attention, do not let the root touch the water, the water surface from the root 1-2 cm is better. Then put the container in a ventilated and shaded place, which can germinate and take root in a week or so.

Leaf hydroponic culture

The success rate of hydroponic culture of leaves is lower than that of the former two, and the method is similar to that of branches.

When putting it into the container, pay attention to the size of the container mouth. If the opening is too large, find a way to fix the blade, do not let it touch the water! Next, just leave it in a cool and ventilated place and let it grow freely.

Key points of water training

Although there is no difficulty in hydroponics, with a success rate of more than 90%, it should not be left to fend for itself. By grasping these basic points, plant killers can also be transformed into talented people.

Keep ventilated

Ventilation is the first essence of plant cultivation, hydroponics, of course, the container should also be placed in the position of air circulation. Especially in indoor or closed balcony environment, more frequently open windows for ventilation.

Change water regularly

Hydroponic succulent plants do not need to be watered, but they need to be watered and changed. When it is found that the water in the container evaporates too much, it is necessary to add water in time.

Although hydroponic succulent plants do not need to change water as frequently as fresh cut flowers, succulent roots consume more oxygen and need to change water regularly to ensure sufficient oxygen.

Pruning root system

When the root system grows too dense in the water, it is necessary to prune the old root and long root properly, so that the root has room to sprout new roots.

If there is decay at the root of the meat, clean up the rotten part in time, and then change the water once a day until the new root grows.

Prevent mosquitoes

Friends who have experienced in hydroponics must know that mosquito larvae are easy to appear in hydroponics containers, which is very annoying.

There is a very ecological way to prevent mosquito larvae: raise fish in a container, and small fish will help you eat the larvae. This method is not only environmentally friendly, but also adds interest.

Hydroponic time

Hydroponic succulent is certainly good-looking, but compared with soil culture, hydroponic culture will obviously lack stamina in nutrition. Therefore, the time of succulent hydroponics should not be too long, two or three months would be better. You can do hydroponic culture in summer and take it out and transplant it into the soil when the weather is cooler.

If you want to prolong hydroponics, you can add nutrient solution to the water to ensure adequate nutrition.

Just give it a try to know how simple it is to cultivate succulent plants in water. A friend in April was known as the "succulent killer". When he entered the hydroponic pit, he easily raised delicious meat.

The method of growing other plants with water is similar to succulent plants, as long as the whole plant is placed in a container and placed in a ventilated shade to take root and grow.

For those who can't raise plants well, don't knock them down on the road of soil cultivation. If you change the direction, you may be able to turn into a plant talent.

Never raise live plants.

Remember, it's not your fault.

You just didn't find the right way for you!

Mud Meng and a good way to raise plants.

Don't hide it.
