How to Hydroponically Culture Tulip Seeds
Core Introduction: Let's take a look at the experience of hydroponic culture and the process of caring for green plants, focusing on how to hydroponically culture tulip seeds and the method of hydroponic tulip cultivation.
Tulips are very beautiful when they bloom. If you want to cultivate several bunches of tulips at home, you can use the hydroponic method. With careful attention and good care during the flowering period, tulips can bloom more beautifully and last longer. Next, we will introduce in detail the seed treatment, hydroponic culture, temperature and lighting, and seedling care.
I. Seed Treatment
The tulip seeds you just bought cannot be cultivated immediately; they need to be disinfected first. Soak the seeds in a solution of 75% benzalkonium chloride diluted 800 times for about half an hour, then proceed with the normal hydroponic culture.
II. Hydroponic Culture
For hydroponic tulip cultivation, there are special culture boxes. Fill the box with water, but not too full, ensuring that the lower half of the bulb is immersed in water. Then place the bulb upright in the culture box, making sure not to lean it east or west.
III. Temperature and Lighting
Place the hydroponic box in a place with plenty of sunlight and keep the temperature between 8-14 degrees Celsius. Generally, within a week, the bulb can take root and sprout.
IV. Seedling Care
After the bulb takes root and sprouts, it enters the growth period. At this time, it is necessary to change the water regularly, usually every three to four days. When changing the water, pour out half of the water and then add an appropriate amount of water and a few drops of nutrient solution. When the bulb grows three to four leaves, the flower bud will gradually emerge. At this time, the temperature needs to be controlled at around 17 degrees, which is beneficial for the growth of the flower bud. After the flower bud emerges, it will bloom in about a week. It is recommended to place the tulips in a shady place after flowering to effectively extend the blooming period.
