Key points of maintenance and management of indoor hydroponic plants

Hydroponic plants belong to a method of plant culture, which is different from the traditional method of raising plants in the soil, but adding the nutrient solution needed by plants to the water to grow plants in water. Hydroponic plants have better ornamental, now there are several goldfish in hydroponic plants, which have better decorative effect, so what are hydroponic plants and what breeding skills are there? The following editor will introduce them one by one.

The method of distinguishing true and false hydroponic plants

Hydroponics is a developing industry in China, bioengineering technology, the use of physical, chemical and biological engineering means to domesticate ordinary plants and flowers. Because it is easy to carry and take care of, the price is cheap, clean, the flowers and leaves grow healthily, and can enjoy the picture together. So it is loved by most people. The Chinese market is very worrying! Because of the existence of fake hydroponics.

Hydroponics technology originated from some developed western countries, and essential changes have taken place when hydroponics technology was introduced into China. For the sake of profit, some Chinese businessmen directly put the washed plants into the water to save costs without artificial training and bioengineering, so that the plants did not seem to die at that time, but a few days later the leaves of hydroponic plants began to turn yellow. finally, the hydroponic plants die slowly. This is not only irresponsible to customers, but also harmful to the real hydroponics industry.

The real hydroponic culture is to put the plant in the nutrient solution, which is prepared by professional hydroponic technology. Plants are made by artificial training or seedling training, and the survival rate is more than 95%. If you add professional care in the later stage, it can be said that they will not die. Therefore, only those who know the real hydroponics technology, the hydroponics cultivated will not die. Remind everyone to ask more when buying hydroponics, and don't buy fake hydroponics.

Maintenance technology of hydroponic plants

1. Selection of utensils: according to the specific conditions of the varieties, shapes, specifications and colors of the plant materials you want to carry out flower hydroponics, choose substitute bottles, pots, vats, and other instruments that can complement each other and complement each other. In accordance with the aforementioned principles for the selection of hydroponic appliances, purchase or process self-made, so that they can be used appropriately and elegantly, and must not be taken casually or misused. So as not to affect the image of hydroponic flowers and the beauty of interior decoration, so as to achieve unity and harmony between utensils and flowers and the living environment, so as to achieve a more ideal ornamental effect.

2. Removing soil and washing roots: when soil cultivation is changed to hydroponics, the work of removing soil and washing roots must be done well. As we all know, soil cultivation is organic nutrition, but after changing to hydroponic culture, it is completely changed to inorganic nutrition cultivation, and the organic matter attached to the soil and roots should be strictly cleaned so as not to affect the normal growth of hydroponic flowers and the infection of diseases and insect pests. Dig out the selected flower plants from the soil or gently pour them out from the flowerpot, first gently lift the branches and stems with the right hand, gently support the root system with the left hand, change the right hand to gently shake, and slowly pat, so that the root soil falls off and reveals all the roots. Then soak in water for 15-20 minutes, gently wash the root with hands, after 2-3 times of water cleaning, until the root is completely soil-free, the water for washing the root is clear and transparent and does not contain sediment. However, it should be noted that some flowers have hard roots and twisted joints, and a lot of soil is in the cracks, which can be dug out with bamboo sticks or sticks and screwdrivers if necessary. There must be no soil left, which is one of the important links in the success of hydroponics, and we must not be negligent.

3. Temperature: the suitable growth temperature of hydroponic plants is above 5 degrees above zero and below 30 degrees. In other words, as long as people feel more comfortable temperature, plants will feel very comfortable, they can grow normally, even in winter, can also flourish, add vitality for us.

4. Light: mainly scattered light. What is scattered light? It is the natural light that comes in from windows and other places, which is naturally scattered indoors. General plant growth as long as there is a proper light on the line, do not have to be exposed to the sun, in summer, but also try to avoid direct sunlight.

5, nutrient solution: generally, we can use the special nutrient solution for hydroponics sold on the market, according to the instructions to match the appropriate concentration, such as dilution 400x or 1000 times, the proportion must not be mistaken. When preparing, the tap water should be placed for two hours to half a day, and after its temperature is close to room temperature and the chlorine in the water is volatilized, the concentrated nutrient solution can be added in proportion to become a nutrient solution that can raise hydroponic plants.

6. Water change: water change refers to the replacement of water with nutrient solution added to the bottle. Under normal circumstances, the water is changed every 5-10 days in spring and autumn, once in about 5 days in summer, and once in 10-15 days in winter (after the tap water is placed for half a day, add concentrated nutrient solution proportionally). The purpose of changing water is to ensure the oxygen supply in the water. Fresh water contains more oxygen, and plants will grow healthier. If you do not change water for a long time, plants can also hold on for a period of time. For example, sometimes people go on business or go on vacation. If they are not at home for ten days and a half months or even a month, soil-cultivated plants can't stand it for a long time and die, but hydroponic plants can persist as long as you add more water. But if the time is too long, the water in the bottle is not fresh or deteriorated, it will affect the growth of hydroponic plants, and in serious cases, it will also cause its death. Note: when changing water, please expose half or 1/3 of the plant's roots.

7. Clean: every time you change water, rinse the roots and containers of plants with clean water, trim withered branches, fallen leaves and rotten roots. Under normal growth conditions, hydroponic plants will regularly rot part of the roots and grow new roots, so when you find rotten roots, don't panic, just use sterilized scissors (sterilized with alcohol cotton) to trim off the rotten roots, and sometimes some old roots can be trimmed off to promote the growth of new roots (note: under the guidance of professionals). But be careful not to hurt the aquatic roots, otherwise it will affect the growth of plants. Hydroponic plant roots, above those white and tender roots are aquatic roots, some grow directly from the base of the stem, some grow from the main root, they are responsible for the absorption function of the plant, must not hurt them.

8. Moisturizing: there is little moisture in the air in winter, especially in the north, which is very dry indoors, which is disadvantageous to the growth of plants, so please spray leaves with clean water to maintain humidity, you can spray water twice a day.

Water exchange technology of hydroponic plants

1. Change the water every 10-15 days at about 20-25 ℃ (spring and autumn). Low temperature can appropriately prolong the time of changing water, while high temperature should be shortened.

2. When fish are raised together, the water should be changed frequently. It is best to buy a miniature air pump with a very low power consumption of about 3 watts. If properly inflated, the water change time can be greatly prolonged (generally, the water can be changed once in 1-2 months).

3. Tap water can be used, but it is best to leave it for one or two days. Mineral water or pure water can be used directly. The temperature difference between raw water and fresh water should not be too large. 6ML bagged nutrient solution mixed into 2.25L large Cola bottle clear water, use .300ml bottle nutrient solution each bottle cap solution mixed into 2.25L large Cola bottle clear water after use. The diluted nutrient water shelf life is 6 months, usually stored away from the sun.

4. Due to the adsorption and metabolism of the root system and the activity of algae, the surface of the root system will be covered with foreign body after a period of time, which can be washed away carefully when changing water. If there is a dead root system, it should be removed when changing water.

5. The water in the bottle should not be too much, and it is appropriate to immerse it in water at about 2 × 3 of the root length.

6. The concentration of nutrient solution should be reduced when it is below 10 degrees in winter and higher than 35 degrees in midsummer (generally, the concentration of nutrient solution is 3-1 inch 2) or only with clear water.

Matters needing attention in the maintenance of hydroponic plants

1. It should be noted that the roots of plants can not be completely soaked in water, and the roots need to be 5 to 10 centimeters bare in the air. If the roots are all soaked in water, the roots cannot absorb oxygen and will die of hypoxia; the roots exposed in the air can replenish the oxygen.

2. Change the water frequently and keep the dissolved nutrients in the water.

3, that is, the composition of hydroponic nutrient solution, the proportion should be appropriate, the concentration should not be too high!

4. Hydroponic flowers are easily limited by hypoxia stress and nutrient imbalance in the process of growth, which leads to the poor growth of hydroponic flowers, such as rotten roots and yellowing leaves, and the deterioration of water quality. it further affects the growth and ornamental value of hydroponic flowers, so it is the most important link to solve the balanced supply of oxygen and nutrients in the nutrient solution in the process of hydroponic flower growth.

What are the key points for the maintenance of common indoor hydroponic plants

Indoor aquaculture of aquatic plants can not only beautify the indoor space, but also purify the indoor air. The most important thing is that the indoor is full of soil, so it is loved by modern people. More and more people like to cultivate hydroponic plants at home. There are many kinds of hydroponic plants. What are the common indoor hydroponic plants? What are the key points for the maintenance of hydroponic plants? Let's go with the editor to get to know it.

What are the common indoor hydroponic plants:

When it comes to common indoor hydroponic plants, there are many kinds of hydroponic plants, but there are not many ones suitable for home culture, such as rich bamboo, hanging orchid, green apple, ivy, asparagus, hyacinth and so on. Let's take a look at the following detailed introduction:

1. Rich bamboo:

Liliaceae is an evergreen upright shrub, which is very suitable for indoor hydroponic flowers. The leaves of Fugui bamboo are green, the stems are straight and round like bamboo. Leaves ovate, apex pointed, petiole base clasping. It is a very shade-tolerant plant. It still grows well and is tall and strong under weak light conditions. Can be placed indoors for a long time to watch the leaves, do not need special maintenance, as long as there is enough water, it can grow vigorously. When hydroponic culture, the rich bamboo stem will be cut into small segments of more than 20 cm as cuttings in water, as long as the cuttings can be soaked in water, they can take root and survive.

2. Hanging orchid:

Perennial evergreen persistent-rooted herbaceous flowers of the family Liliaceae having clusters of leaves linear with longitudinal yellow-and-white stripes on the margin or in the middle. In summer and autumn, slender, flexible and drooping stolons are drawn from the leaves, tender leaves and aerial roots germinate at the top or nodes, and white flowers bloom. The orchid can be raised in indoor water, which can not only purify the air, but also has the advantages of beautiful appearance and simple management. Dig out the potted orchid, go to the root soil, cut off the old root and rotten root, leave the fibrous root, put it in a container bottle, fill the bottle with water and flower nutrient solution, and let the root of the orchid grow in water.

3. Green pineapple

Araceae is a plant of the genus Colocasia, which belongs to climbing vines and foliage flowers. Sexual preference for warm, humid environment, rattan up to several meters long, internodes have air root, leaves will grow bigger and bigger, leaves each other, evergreen. The stem of the radish is soft and the leaves are delicate. Aquaculture is very simple, make sure to change the water every 2 to 3 days, with simple nutrients. Green pineapple has a high ornamental value, vine stem naturally drooping, not only can purify the air, but also make full use of the space, for the rigid cabinet to add lively lines, lively color.

4. Ivy:

Acanthopanax ivy is the most ideal indoor and outdoor vertical greening species, evergreen vines, thin and soft branches, aerial roots, climbing on other objects. The leaves are alternate, the leaves are triangular-ovate, and the demand for potted plants is increasing day by day. It is a typical negative plant, which can grow in full light, grow well in warm and humid climate, and is not resistant to cold. Water is easy to raise and has strong vitality.

5. Asparagus:

Perennial evergreen herbaceous flowers of the genus Liliaceae. The stem is thin and weak, and the branches are slender and leafy, spreading horizontally. The flowers are small and white. Berries globose, black. After the fruit is ripe, it shows a little red in the thick green cluster, elegant and lovely. Plant strong negative tolerance, placed at the head of the bed, table case, elegant and generous, is a good indoor flower. Asparagus is also an ideal foil material for cut flowers. In recent years, water-raised asparagus has been successfully developed, which is even more elegant in the room.

6. Hyacinth:

Hyacinth, also known as Narcissus, belongs to the hyacinth genus of Liliaceae, perennial herbs, bulb spherical or oblate, outer coat flag purplish blue or white, basic leaves, leaves thick, banded lanceolate. Flower stem extracted from the middle of the leaf stem, raceme, flower appearance delicate, colorful, dazzling, pleasant fragrance. Sex likes a sunny and cool and humid environment, which is not only suitable for potted plants, but also suitable for water culture. When cultured in water, the bulb is placed in hydroponic nutrient solution with clean appearance and strong ornamental.

Such as the above is a brief introduction to the common indoor hydroponic plants. I believe that through the above introduction, we will have a further understanding and understanding of indoor hydroponic plants. Of course, there are also some key points to pay attention to in the maintenance process of household hydroponic plants, so as to ensure the long life of household hydroponic plants. Let's take a look at the following introduction to the maintenance points of hydroponic plants:

Key points for the conservation of hydroponic plants:

1. Temperature:

The suitable growth temperature of hydroponic plants is above 5 degrees above zero and below 30 degrees. In other words, as long as people feel more comfortable temperature, plants will feel very comfortable, they can grow normally, even in winter, can also flourish, add vitality for us.

2. Light:

Mainly scattered light. What is scattered light? It is the natural light that comes in from windows and other places, which is naturally scattered indoors. General plant growth as long as there is a proper light on the line, do not have to be exposed to the sun, in summer, but also try to avoid direct sunlight.

3. Nutrient solution:

In general, we can use the special nutrient solution sold on the market, according to the instructions to match the appropriate concentration, such as dilution 400x or 1000 times, the proportion must not be mistaken. When preparing, the tap water should be placed for two hours to half a day, and after its temperature is close to room temperature and the chlorine in the water is volatilized, the concentrated nutrient solution can be added in proportion to become a nutrient solution that can raise hydroponic plants.

4. Change water:

Water exchange is an important work for hydroponic plants. Water exchange refers to the replacement of water with nutrient solution in the bottle. If the water is not changed for a long time, the content of dissolved oxygen in the water will decrease, which will affect the growth and absorption capacity of the root system. In addition, plants will discharge some harmful substances in physiological activities. When the water is anoxic and the harmful substance content is high, it will lead to poor growth or even death of the plant. Pay attention to the following problems when changing water:

(1) Water change time:

In general, the water is changed every 5-10 days in spring and autumn and about 5 days in summer. Change the water once every 10-15 days in winter (after the tap water is placed for half a day, add the concentrated nutrient solution in proportion), the flowers that have just been hydroponically cultivated require a change of water every 2 days, the summer plant growth is exuberant, the temperature is high, the water is easy to deteriorate, and the time should be shortened. In winter, most plants are in a semi-dormant or dormant state, and the temperature is low, and the interval between changing water can be longer. Generally speaking, the interval between changing water is shorter, which is beneficial to plant growth.

(2) cleaning of roots and containers:

When changing water, the root system should be cleaned, the mucus on the root system can be washed off with clean water, and some of the rotten roots and the old roots that have lost their absorptive capacity can be cut off. After the container has been used for a period of time, the wall will adhere to a precipitate, and it is also easy to grow moss. It should also be cleaned when changing water.

(3) depth of water:

When hydroponic flowers are cultivated, the roots are often immersed in water, but from the experience of cultivation, you should not add too much water. Pay attention, when changing water, please expose half or 1/3 of the plant roots and a small amount of roots in the air, so that the roots can absorb not only dissolved oxygen in the water, but also oxygen from the air.

5. Cleaning:

Every time you change water, rinse the roots and containers of plants with clean water, and trim withered branches, leaves and rotten roots. under normal growth conditions, hydroponic plants will regularly rot part of their roots and grow new ones, so when you find rotten roots, don't panic first. Just use sterilized scissors (sterilized with alcohol cotton) to trim off the rotten roots, and sometimes you can trim off some old roots. To promote the growth of new roots (note: under the guidance of professionals). But must be careful not to hurt the aquatic roots, otherwise it will affect the growth of plants, hydroponic plant roots, above those white and tender roots are aquatic roots, some grow directly from the base of the stem, some grow from the main root, they are responsible for the absorption function of plants, must not hurt them.

6. Moisturizing:

There is little moisture in the air in winter, especially in the north, where the room is very dry, which is disadvantageous to the growth of plants, so please spray foliage with clean water to maintain humidity, you can spray water twice a day.

Key points for the maintenance of hydroponic plants

1. Temperature

The best temperature for hydroponic plant growth is 5mur30 ℃, more than 35 ℃. Most plants go into dormancy and need to stop spraying water. Chongqing is hot in summer, so outdoor hydroponic plants should be moved indoors to cool down.

2. Light

It is the natural light coming in from the window. Avoid direct sunlight in summer.

3. Nutrient solution

For plants that have just carried out hydroponic culture, it is not appropriate to add nutrient solution immediately. They should be kept in clear water for 10-15 days. After the plant has adapted to the hydroponic environment, a special nutrient solution for hydroponic culture should be added.

4. Change water

In general, the water is changed every 5-10 days in spring and autumn, about 5 days in summer and 10-15 days in winter. When changing water, please expose half or 1/3 of the roots of the plant.

5. Cleanliness and hygiene

With each change of water, clean water rinses the roots and containers of plants to build withered branches, fallen leaves and rotten roots, so as not to pollute the hydroponic environment.

6. Keep wet and warm

When the climate is dry, spray leaves with clear water to maintain humidity, you can choose a small spray bottle to spray water, it is appropriate to spray water twice a day. When the indoor temperature is lower than 5 ℃, you should pay attention to keep the plants warm.
