Introduction to the steps of changing water for hydroponic plants

In recent years, aquaculture plants in the home has increasingly become a fashion, aquaculture plants in the management is not only simple and convenient than soil culture, but also can make the site cleaner, can also achieve the effect of beautifying the home. Therefore, aquaculture green plants are more and more favored by the majority of families. However, after all, hydroponics is different from soil culture. Soil plants generally change pots once a year, while hydroponics need to change water frequently. Compared with soil culture, hydroponics is a bit troublesome in this respect, but as long as you get used to it, you don't feel it, don't you think?

However, the oxygen content in the water is already very small, and after being absorbed by the roots of the plant, there is an urgent need to provide oxygen. If the water is not often changed for the plant, it is easy to cause the plant to lack oxygen. Moreover, after the harmful substances accumulated in the water for a long time are absorbed by the plant, it is easy to cause disease, the plant will grow poorly, and in serious cases, it will lead to death. So, how to change water for hydroponic plants? The following editor will introduce the steps of changing water for hydroponic plants.

1. Determine the time of changing water.

In general, the water change cycle of hydroponic plants is one week, but it also needs to be determined according to seasonal changes. The plants that have just carried out hydroponics suggest changing the water once every 1 or 2 days; while summer is often the peak period of plant growth, the air temperature is higher, the water quality is easy to change, and the water exchange cycle should be shortened appropriately; when entering winter, plants usually enter dormancy or semi-dormant state because the temperature is too low, the water change time should not be too frequent, and the water change cycle should be prolonged appropriately. Under normal circumstances, shortening the water exchange time of hydroponic plants is relatively more beneficial to plant growth, because not only the water quality is not easy to deteriorate, but also can replenish fresh nutrients for plants in time.

2. Do a good job in cleaning

Before changing water for hydroponic plants, the plants should be taken out, the sticky matter on the plant roots should be cleaned, and at the same time, the decaying parts of the roots should be removed or the old roots and weak roots have completely lost their absorption function. After cleaning the roots, it can enhance the ability of plants to absorb nutrients in a clean new solution and promote the healthy growth of plants.

In addition, in addition to cleaning the plant roots, the container needs to be cleaned clean and thoroughly. Because the container will adhere to some sediment on the inner wall after being used for a period of time, if it is not cleaned up in time, it is easy to grow moss, which may breed germs under certain conditions, thus bringing disease to the plant. Therefore, when changing water for plants, it is also necessary to thoroughly clean the container.

3. the amount of water exchange should be moderate.

Many potted people like to completely immerse their roots in water when changing water for hydroponic plants, but we know that plants also have life and need to breathe. In addition to absorbing a certain amount of dissolved oxygen in water, plants need to absorb more oxygen in the air. Therefore, when changing water for plants, we suggest not to submerge all the roots in the water, but to leave part of the roots in the air, which will help the roots to absorb more oxygen and make the plants grow better. So when injecting water into the container, keep the surface of the water at a distance from the upper part of the plant root system.

Of course, in order to make plant growth more luxuriant and faster, we can also go to the market to buy some nutrient solution, when changing water for plants, you can drop a few drops of nutrient solution, which is very heavy for the growth of hydroponic plants.
