What are the hydroponic plants that do not see the sun?
In modern home environments, toilets, north-facing rooms or offices with insufficient light often require green plants that can adapt to low light environments. Hydroponics plants have become a popular choice for indoor greening due to their cleanliness, beauty and easy maintenance. This article will focus on introducing hydroponics plant varieties that can grow healthily under low light conditions and their maintenance points. Characteristics of hydroponic plants in low light environments, green radish is a typical representative. Its aerial roots can directly absorb nutrients in water, and the waxy layer on the leaf surface can effectively utilize weak light energy. Experimental data shows that when the light intensity drops to 1,000 - 2,000 lux, green radish can still maintain a growth rate of 3- 5 cm per week. Humidity regulation mechanism Through the opening characteristics of the stomata of its feathery leaves at night and the high humidity of the hydroponic environment, Adiantum can maintain a balanced transpiration in the absence of direct light. During maintenance, it is recommended to spray 2-3 times a week to keep the air humidity above 60%. Detailed explanation of the five categories of preferred varieties The air-purifying spider plant is known as the "natural air purifier" and can absorb 0.15mg/hour of formaldehyde per square meter of leaf area under hydroponics. The three-dimensional purification system formed by its stolons is especially suitable for use in enclosed spaces. The white bracts of the ornamental decorative white palm Buddha spaths are brighter in low light. When hydroponics, pay attention to maintaining the water temperature of 18-25℃. The slender feather-like leaves of asparagus bungeanum suggest rotating the container every half of the month to ensure that the plant receives even light. The hydroponic branches of special functional ivy can extend to more than 2 meters, making it suitable for creating vertical green walls. The wide leaves of palm bamboo can effectively reduce environmental noise and are more ornamental when combined with ceramsite matrix. Summary of key points for maintenance When replacing the culture medium regularly, it is recommended to retain 1/3 of the original solution to maintain the balance of the bacterial population. Using black containers can effectively inhibit the growth of algae, and adding 3-5 drops of special nutrient solution every month can meet growth needs. When browning of the roots is found, prune them promptly and disinfect them with potassium permanganate solution.
By reasonably selecting varieties and mastering maintenance skills, even in spaces with limited lighting, a vibrant hydroponic green plant landscape can be created. These shade-tolerant plants not only beautify the environment, but also improve air quality and inject natural vitality into modern living spaces.
