What plants are suitable for hydroponics
The introduction of plants suitable for hydroponics and the related introduction of five kinds of green plants suitable for hydroponics, followed by a comprehensive introduction.
Hydroponic plants have been popular in recent years because we can observe their roots, watch the growth of the roots, and at the same time, they can grow leaves and flowers. It is a relatively individual plant, but many plants are hydroponically cultivated. Can it work? In fact, very few plants are truly suitable for hydroponics, only five in total. The plants we see that can be hydroponically cultivated are all forcefully stuffed into water. After being nurtured at home, they either rot, do not grow, or do not bloom, because they are not suitable for hydroponics themselves. Forcefully planting them in water can ensure they die slowly or grow slowly. Hydroponic cultivation is torturing them and it is very difficult to grow them well.
Many people say that we can hydroponically cultivate narcissus and hyacinth at home. Are these suitable for hydroponics? They belong to bulbous plants that need to grow bulbs in the soil. After the bulbs are matured, we can hydroponically cultivate them, which can bloom directly. However, they will become weak after blooming and are not truly suitable for long-term hydroponics. There are a total of five plants that can be truly hydroponically cultivated, and I will introduce them to you.
1. Peppermint
Peppermint should be familiar to everyone. It grows very fast. You only need to cut the branches and plant them in the soil to survive, and within a year, it can reproduce a large area, which makes its growth very rapid. Therefore, it is more suitable for hydroponics. If you want to hydroponically cultivate it, cut a branch, retain a certain length at the bottom, and insert it into a hydroponic bottle. It can grow roots within a week, and later, the roots will fill the bottle, and the branches can continue to grow. However, we need to ensure that we change the water regularly, change the water when it gets a little dirty, add some nutrient solution during water change, and provide some scattered light to ensure good growth.
2. Spider Plant
The spider plant should also be familiar to everyone, and it is actually the most suitable for hydroponics. However, you should choose the green spider plant because its leaves are green, and photosynthesis is good. When hydroponically cultivating, you should cut new plants from the hanging spider plant and not directly wash the roots from the soil and plant them in water. Choose a relatively large spider plant lateral bud and place it close to the water surface in the hydroponic bottle. Its roots will naturally grow into the water. These roots are not too thick, mostly white capillary roots, which can adapt to the aquatic environment. If you directly plant it in water without soil, it is easy to cause rot and the leaves will turn black and rot later.

3. Devil's Ivy
Devil's Ivy is a relatively tolerant ornamental leaf plant, and it can also be hydroponically cultivated. However, when hydroponically cultivating devil's Ivy, we need to ensure that it is a newly cut branch with an aerial root. Cut off the bottom leaves and insert them into the water. Within a week, its roots will slowly grow out. You will find that its roots grow very well in water because it grows hydroponic roots in water. We only need to add some nutrient solution regularly, provide some scattered light, and change the water in time when it gets dirty.
4. Pennywort
Pennywort is also a very good hydroponic plant. You just need to cut the underground rhizome, wash it, and put it in a hydroponic bottle, and it will slowly grow leaves. It is very suitable in water and can also be cultivated using a half-water, half-soil method, which does not require frequent watering. However, it needs to be exposed to light appropriately. If there is no light, the leaves will become smaller and smaller, turn yellow, and easily rot. Change the water in time when it gets dirty, add some nutrient solution to the water during the water change, and ensure the temperature is not lower than 10 degrees. It can grow normally in water and the growth will be very good.
5. Lucky Bamboo
Lucky Bamboo should be familiar to everyone. You can buy 10 to 20 branches for 10 to 20 yuan. As long as we trim them and ensure the temperature is above 15 degrees, they can take root and grow normally in water. However, in low-temperature areas, such as below 10 degrees, you should not cultivate them because they will not grow easily and the leaves will turn yellow. You also need to ensure that the water is changed in time when it gets dirty, and add some nutrient solution to the water regularly to ensure no problems and good growth.
These five plants are truly suitable for hydroponics, not the ones that do not grow when you put them in water. They grow very fast, and if you want to play with hydroponics, you can choose these five, and they can also grow well in your home.
The above sharing of plants suitable for hydroponics and the introduction of five kinds of hydroponic plants, have green plant enthusiasts understood?
