Hydroponic Culture method of Pocket Coconut

Pocket coconut is often regarded as one of the preferred green plants for indoor small and medium-sized foliage potted plants because of its beautiful plant shape and convenient management. Pocket coconut also has the effect of purifying harmful substances in the air, such as benzene, trichloroethylene, formaldehyde and so on. It has become a "high-efficiency air purifier" in the plant world, and is very suitable for raising indoors, especially in newly decorated houses.

However, what is more important is that pocket coconuts can not only be grown in soil, but can also be cultured in water according to their different preferences. The following editor will introduce the water culture methods of pocket coconuts.

1. The source of hydroponic plants.

Pocket coconuts used for hydroponic culture can be obtained from soil culture, which is usually converted from soil culture to hydroponic culture by pot root washing. As the name implies, the plant is taken from the soil culture flowerpot, its roots are cleaned, and then hydroponic culture is carried out.

2. Preparation of nutrient solution

If you want to cultivate pocket coconuts in water, you can't do without a nutrient solution to promote the healthy growth of plants. Because the water culture of pocket coconut is soilless cultivation, that is, it uses inorganic fertilizer solution as nutrient solution. On the one hand, you can buy nutrient solution through the flower market, on the other hand, you can also make your own nutrient solution.

3. Prepare the hydroponic container

Hydroponics need suitable containers, and most hydroponic plants can use glass containers, as well as pocket coconuts. However, because the pocket coconut is a kind of foliage plant, it is recommended to use a heavy glass container when choosing a container, because this can avoid the top-heavy and toppling phenomenon when the plant grows luxuriantly.

4. Hydroponics method / process

When hydroponic culture, first put the plants that wash the roots into the container, then put a filter cover of suitable size and depth, and then fill the filter cover with ceramsite, about 3-5 centimeters away from the mouth of the container. then inject pre-purchased or self-made diluted nutrient solution into the container until the roots are completely submerged. Finally, the glass container is placed in a semi-shaded place for maintenance and management, while avoiding direct light.

5. Maintenance and management measures

It is recommended to keep watering 2-3 times a day in summer with high temperature, and control watering in winter; wash ceramsite once every two months to avoid harmful substances against plants; often detect the PH value of nutrient solution, because excessive alkalinity of nutrient solution will cause yellow leaf phenomenon; when the water level in the container drops, water should be replenished to the appropriate depth in time.
