How to care for hydroponic succulents
Do you know these? The following is a detailed introduction to the contents related to the cultivation and maintenance precautions of hydroponic succulents.
Hydroponic succulents are a special type of soilless cultivation, known as hydroponics in Japan. It involves growing flowers directly in water-filled containers with essential nutrients as a novel method of home green decoration.
Hydroponic succulent cultivation
1. Prepare the plant
First, remove the succulent plant from the pot and gently shake off the soil from the roots, then wash the plant in clean water, cut off the old and weak roots, and place the plant in a shady and well-ventilated area to dry for 1-2 days to allow the cuts to heal.
2. Water requirements
Succulent plants are usually not very large, so it's best to use a small-necked vase or a special hydroponic vase with a grid. First, fill with clean water, add a few drops of nutrient solution and root stimulator, and place the prepared plant into the vase. Note that the roots of the plant should not be completely immersed in water, and the succulent plant should be kept in a shady, well-ventilated area with plenty of diffused light for maintenance.
3. Water changing
Hydroponics requires the water to be clean. Generally, change the water every three days. When changing the water, gently rinse the roots to remove any slime and clean the vase to prevent the formation of scale. After adding a few drops of nutrient solution, place the plant back into the vase for cultivation.
Precautions for hydroponic maintenance
Succulent cultivation should be well-ventilated. When hydroponic, try to place it in a shady and well-ventilated area to avoid strong sunlight, otherwise the leaves may be burned by excessive light. When the nutrients in the water are insufficient to maintain the growth of the succulents, it is necessary to add some nutrient solution regularly. Pay attention to the concentration. When the roots of the succulents grow too lush, they should be pruned regularly to avoid nutrient competition that affects the plant's growth.
