Hydroponic flowers that are easy to care for and look beautiful
Today, the editor will introduce hydroponic flowers that are easy to care for and look beautiful, as well as a review of five flowers suitable for hydroponics in the green plant flower sector. Let's take a look together!
Many flower enthusiasts now prefer to grow hydroponic plants for convenience. They usually use transparent containers to hold these plants, which allows them to observe the growth trends of the plants and is a currently popular planting method. However, not all plants are suitable for hydroponics, and some selection is needed. Some plants may be fine with short-term hydroponics, but later may experience root blackening and stop growing. This is because some plants are originally suitable for soil planting, and forceful hydroponics can be harmful to them. Therefore, this is a reminder not to plant hydroponic plants blindly. As far as I know, currently only four types of flowers can be grown hydroponically, and the method is very simple, requiring only a pot of water to keep them alive. As long as the method is correct, there will be no yellowing or rotting leaves. Let's take a look.
1. Lotus
Plants like lotus have a rhizome at the bottom of their roots. When the seeds are first formed, hydroponics can be used to promote rapid root growth. When using hydroponics, some soil should be added to the bottom to cover the roots, providing protection. Normally, nutrient solution can be added to the water, and the plant can be placed in a well-lit area to promote blooming. It is a representative aquatic flower.
2. One-leaf Lotus
Its cultivation method is very simple and carefree. Like other plants, it also requires plenty of light but should avoid direct sunlight, preferably placed in a place with diffused light. It needs to be watered once a week to ensure healthy water quality. If the climate is dry, simply spray some water on the leaves. It is relatively cold-tolerant, but the temperature should not drop below 5 degrees Celsius. As it grows, we need to constantly add water, which requires more attention. Every morning, check if the one-leaf lotus has grown taller.
3.富贵竹 (Fu Gui Zhu)
Fu Gui Zhu is a plant with an auspicious meaning, symbolizing good luck and wealth. When choosing a container for planting Fu Gui Zhu, it should be as large as the plant itself, not too big. When planting, remove the old and damaged roots and then hydroponically culture them. Choose healthy, mature branches and cut the base at an angle to increase the area of contact with water and nutrients. Do not move the plant or change its direction within 10 days. Change the water every 3-4 days to prevent yellowing of the leaves. Add water when it evaporates, preferably using purified water to avoid bacterial growth. Do not place it near air conditioners or fans, as this can cause the leaves to dry out.

4. Pennywort
Pennywort is a common plant in homes, and it thrives in warm environments. It is known for its ability to survive extreme heat, so it grows very well in the summer. In the winter, it must be placed in a warm place to prevent frostbite, as it enters a dormant state during this time. Water evaporation is relatively slow, so it is recommended to change the water every two weeks to ensure root growth and water quality.
5. Water Lily
This plant is also known as water hyacinth. It prefers warm and humid places and has good adaptability. Although it may not look very impressive, it can be quite ornamental when planted in large numbers. It can be grown in the south, with no strict soil requirements. It is suitable for growth in areas such as in front of houses or along small paths. It is best to choose loose, breathable, and fertile soil and allow for strong sunlight exposure. Sufficient sunlight can prevent diseases and pests, promoting healthy growth. For hydroponics, since water hyacinth requires a large amount of humus, it cannot be grown in pure water. River water can be used to ensure its survival.
The editor reminds everyone that some friends who are new to growing flowers and do not have much experience should preferably use an opaque bottle to grow them, as this will promote better root growth and faster growth. Avoid excessive direct sunlight on the roots, which can weaken nutrient absorption and be harmful to plant growth. For those who want to save time and effort in gardening, these hydroponic flowers are a convenient and simple choice, saving some money on fertilizers. Share this with others around you!
