Can tiger tail orchid be raised in water? the method of hydroponic cultivation of tiger tail orchid

Tiger tail orchid, also known as tiger skin orchid, native to tropical Africa, is resistant to drought and can withstand extremely harsh conditions. Because tiger tail orchid can purify the air, so many people raise tiger tail orchid in their homes. So can tiger-tail orchids be raised in water? If possible, what is its hydroponic method?

1. Water culture tiger skin orchid change water

Whether hydroponic tiger skin orchid can be successful, the most key measure is to change water. First of all, the respiration of plant roots in the process of growth requires continuous consumption of oxygen in the water, and the oxygen in the water will gradually decrease with the respiration of Hu Pilan, when reduced to a certain amount. That is, it will affect the growth of Tiger Pilan (although the oxygen in the water will also be replenished by oxygen in the air, but its amount is very small).

Secondly, the root system will produce mucus in the process of growth, and more mucus will affect the water quality. Thirdly, when the tiger skin orchid is planted in water, it is necessary to add a certain amount of nutrient solution to the water, except that some of the added nutrient elements are absorbed by the tiger skin orchid, the rest remain in the water, with the extension of the cultivation time, when the residual material reaches a certain amount, it will also be harmful to tiger skin orchid, so it is necessary to change the water regularly.

2. The temperature of hydroponic tiger skin orchid:

The amount of dissolved oxygen in water is inversely proportional to the level of air temperature, that is, the higher the air temperature and the higher the water temperature, the less the dissolved oxygen in the water, the lower the air temperature and the lower the water temperature, the more dissolved oxygen in the water. The consumption of dissolved oxygen in water is proportional to temperature, that is, the higher the air temperature is, the higher the water temperature is, the more vigorous the respiration of plants is, and the more dissolved oxygen in water is consumed; the lower the air temperature is, the lower the water temperature is. The weaker the respiration of plants is, the less the dissolved oxygen in the water is consumed. In addition, when the temperature is high, microorganisms multiply rapidly, which can easily lead to deterioration of water quality.

Therefore, when the temperature is high, the water should be changed frequently, and when the temperature is low, the interval between changing water can be longer.

3. The growth of hydroponic tiger skin orchid:

The growth of tiger skin orchid plants is strong and normal, and the interval between changing water can be longer. When the tiger skin orchid grows poorly, the water should be changed more frequently. Especially when rotten roots are caused by high temperature or excessive fertilization, in addition to cutting off rotten roots in time, water should be changed every day until the plant resumes normal growth and germinates new roots before it can be transferred to normal maintenance.

If you want to clean the air at home and have no time to care, you can cultivate a tiger tail orchid. It is vigorous and easy to feed, and it only needs to be taken care of once in a while to grow luxuriantly.
