In fact, it is not difficult to raise a gentleman's orchid in water.

Hydroponic plants are clean and beautiful, with very good ornamental. Speaking of hydroponics, do you immediately think of green radish? Clivia leaves green and shiny, flowers upward shape torch, orange color, dignified and generous, many flower friends have breeding. However, some people are not willing to take the time to seriously maintain it, this time you can choose water, only necessary to add nutrients when changing water, both simple and convenient. Clivia water, in fact, is not difficult, do not believe please look down.

selected container

In hydroponic culture of flowers and plants, it is very important to select the right culture container. More common, are the choice of transparent glass containers (fish tanks can also), you can appreciate the full range of flowers and plants roots, stems, leaves, flowers. Clivia hydroponics can be selected from mature plants of 2~3 years old, washed away the soil at the roots, and then soaked in 0.05%~0.1% potassium permanganate diluent for 10 minutes. After taking it out, rinse it with clean water and plant it in a container. The depth of adding culture solution should not exceed the pseudobulb of Clivia root.

nutrient solution

You can go to the flower market to buy clivia hydroponic special nutrient solution, or its own configuration. I have two kinds of nutrient solution provided by flower friends here. You can refer to them: 1. Preparation method of inorganic nutrient solution: calcium 1.5g, ferrous sulfate O.01g, urea 10g, potassium dihydrogen phosphate 1g, magnesium sulfate 0.5g, dissolved in 1000g water can be used. 2. Preparation method of organic nutrient solution: 100g fried sesame seed flour, 100g bone meal (made of salt-free fresh bone), 150g bean cake powder, 50g cooked sesame powder, and then dissolved in 1000g water. (For information only, no responsibility for death)

water selection

Clivia hydroponics, can not be directly taken from tap water, the reason we should all know. Put tap water in a container and expose it to the sun for 3 to 5 days, and you can use it (or use mountain spring water). Note: the water level is too shallow can not make Clivia get sufficient water supply, water level is too deep (sank false bulb) and will cause root rot. In the breeding process, we should observe more changes in water quality, and find that the roots have yellow or black signs, indicating that the water is both oxygen-deficient and less fertile, and we must change the water immediately.

conservation of the environment

Conservation environment is nothing more than: air, sunlight, temperature these three. Hydroponic clivia root ventilation or not, is the key to determine whether you clivia survive. Clivia cultivation for a period of time, the roots will appear some thick substances, will affect the respiration of the roots, and pollute the culture solution. We need to regularly brush away these substances gently with a soft, clean brush. In addition, oxygen is often added to the water, and oxygen can be supplied to the water with a small oxygen pump. Clivia is a semi-yin and semi-yang plant. The suitable temperature for growth is 18~22℃. The temperature below 5℃ and above 30℃ will restrain its growth. To pay attention to light, especially in summer, to avoid direct strong sunlight, so that it receives scattered light. In addition, according to the light characteristics of Clivia leaves, we should pay attention to make the leaves receive light evenly, otherwise the length of the leaves is not the same, the growth direction will also be staggered, as usual every two or three days to adjust the light angle.
