Echeveria ball, a highly ornamental succulent plant, is loved by many plant enthusiasts for its unique spherical shape and robust vitality. Hydroponics, as a new method of care, not only saves space but also allows the plant to grow healthier. This article will introduce the hydroponic method of Echeveria ball in detail, helping you easily cultivate a lush and beautiful ball.
Select the appropriate Echeveria ballBefore hydroponics, it is first necessary to select a healthy Echeveria ball. When choosing, the following points should be noted:
1. The leaves are full and colorful, without spots or pests;
2. The root system is developed without decay;
3. The shape of the ball is regular without deformities.
Prepare hydroponic containers and materials1. Hydroponic container: Choose a transparent or translucent container to observe the plant's growth condition easily;
2. Hydroponic substrate: Use special hydroponic substrates or materials such as perlite, vermiculite, etc.;
3. Hydroponic nutrient solution: Choose the appropriate hydroponic nutrient solution based on the growth needs of Echeveria ball.
Echeveria ball hydroponic steps1. Wash the Echeveria ball: Place the Echeveria ball in clean water and gently brush off the dust and impurities on the leaves with a soft brush;
2. Root treatment: Remove the roots of the Echeveria ball from the original soil, cut off the decayed and weak parts, and retain the healthy roots;
3. Fill the hydroponic substrate: Place a layer of hydroponic substrate at the bottom of the container, put the treated Echeveria ball into the substrate, adjust the ball position to make the roots fully contact the substrate;
4. Add hydroponic nutrient solution: Add an appropriate amount of hydroponic nutrient solution to the container, and the water level should be 1-2 centimeters lower than the bottom of the ball;
5. Place under light: Place the Echeveria ball in a place with sufficient light, ensuring 4-6 hours of sunlight every day.
Echeveria ball hydroponic care points1. Regularly replace the nutrient solution: Depending on the growth condition of Echeveria ball, replace the nutrient solution every 15-20 days;
