Impact of tap water on hydroponics plants Key points for water treatment As the pace of urban life accelerates, more and more people are paying attention to the maintenance of indoor green plants. Hydroponics plants are loved by many families because of their simple maintenance methods and beautiful appearance. Tap water is the main water source in daily life, and its water quality has a direct impact on the growth of hydroponics plants. This article will provide you with a detailed introduction on how to use tap water for hydroponics plant maintenance. Let tap water become a high-quality source of water for plant growth. The impact of tap water on hydroponics plants Although tap water has reached drinking standards after treatment, it still contains certain harmful substances such as chlorine and heavy metal ions. These substances will have an adverse impact on the growth of hydroponics plants. When using tap water for hydroponics plant maintenance, certain treatment is needed. Tap water treatment method 1. Standing method Place tap water for a period of time to allow chlorine to evaporate. After standing for 24 hours, the chlorine content in the tap water will be significantly reduced, making it suitable for use in hydroponics plants.
2. Activated carbon adsorption method Activated carbon has a strong adsorption capacity and can effectively remove harmful substances such as chlorine and heavy metal ions in tap water. Put the activated carbon into a container, pour the tap water into the container to soak for a period of time, and then take out the activated carbon., you can get the treated water quality.
3. Pure water filtration method Using pure water filters can further remove impurities in tap water and obtain a purer water quality. There are many types of filters on the market, and you can choose the appropriate model according to your own needs. Key points for hydroponics plant maintenance 1. Water quality testing When using tap water for hydroponics plant maintenance, the water quality is regularly tested to ensure that the water quality meets the growth needs of plants. You can use a water quality testing pen or water quality testing box for testing.
2. Water level control The water level of hydroponic plants should be kept below the root system to avoid the root system being immersed in water for a long time, causing root rot.
3. Light and ventilation Hydroponics plants require sufficient light and good ventilation conditions to ensure the normal growth of plants.
4. Water change and fertilization Regularly change the water source of hydroponics plants, usually once a week, and apply appropriate amounts of hydroponics special fertilizers according to the growth needs of the plants.
Although tap water is not suitable for direct use in hydroponics plants, it can be transformed into high-quality water sources through appropriate treatment methods. Mastering the use of tap water for hydroponics plants can allow your indoor green plants to thrive and provide your home environment adds a touch of vitality.
According to the "China Hydroponics Plant Market Report", the scale of my country's hydroponics plant market has expanded year by year, and consumers 'demand for hydroponics plants continues to grow. Learning to use tap water for hydroponics plant maintenance will not only help improve the growth effect of hydroponics plants and save costs for consumers. I hope this article can provide a useful reference for your indoor green plant maintenance.
