Soilless cultivation of flowers

The advantages of soilless cultivation: there are no space restrictions, flowers grow healthier. Selection of nutrient solution: choose the appropriate nutrient solution according to the species of soilless plants. Replacement of nutrient solution: indoor flower cultivation is changed once every 3-4 days, rinse the cultivation substrate thoroughly with clean water, and then inject the new nutrient solution diluted with water, otherwise the concentration of water will be higher and higher.

What is soilless cultivation

Some family flower growers in southern China often soak the stems of rich bamboos without roots in a vase. They can take root in about 10 days and grow well, and they don't have to plant them in pot soil after rooting. Some other flowers and plants, such as bamboo evergreen, can be cultivated and furnished in this way, which is called "hydroponic culture".

It is generally believed that soilless cultivation is hydroponic flower culture, but it is not. Hydroponic culture is only one method of soilless cultivation. If plants want to be furnished and ornamental, they must first be fixed so that they can grow up independently without lodging, so that the roots must be fixed with granular cultivation media sold in florists or bean stones and perlite, and then water must be injected into people for cultivation. Gravel culture, sand grain culture, bdelloid right culture, asbestos block culture, plastic particle culture and so on are commonly used, which are collectively referred to as soilless cultivation.

Advantages of soilless cultivation

There are no space restrictions

Today, with the three-dimensional development of urban housing, soilless cultivation is especially suitable for the use of sporadic areas such as windowsill, balcony, hall, desk and so on. Raising flowers by soilless cultivation can put an end to the occurrence of underground diseases and insect pests, and will not give off the stench caused by fertilizing the potted soil, let alone the need to prepare the cultivated soil, saving the trouble of loosening the soil, weeding and turning the pot to change the soil.

Flowers grow more healthily

More importantly, the nutrient loss of growing flowers in potted soil is as high as 40%-60%. The nutrient loss of soilless cultivation is generally less than 10%. If cultivated properly, the growth of flowers and trees is generally stronger than that of potted soil.

The method of soilless cultivation

Selection of nutrient solution

When soilless cultivation is carried out in the flower field, the nutrient solution is prepared according to the different needs of all kinds of flowers and trees, which is very complicated to operate, and many problems are involved. such as the composition of nutrient cable, the concentration of nutrient solution, the effectiveness of nutrient components, the consumption and supplement of nutrient elements, as well as the test of pH and so on. Family flower growers in soilless cultivation, there is no condition and no need to prepare their own nutrient solution, directly buy ready-made it.

Replacement of nutrient solution

Nutrient elements in the flower container will gradually oxidize and photochemical, pH will also be out of balance, should be replaced in time. Indoor flower cultivation should be replaced once every 3-4 days, and the cultivation substrate must be thoroughly washed with clean water, and then injected with new nutrient solution diluted with water, otherwise the concentration of water will be higher and higher.
