How to maintain water-raised hyacinth
Hydroponics hyacinth is becoming the new favorite of urban flower growers due to its clean and beautiful ornamental characteristics.
This maintenance method of immersing the plant roots in clear water not only enjoys the unique aesthetic feeling of root growth, but also eliminates the complexity of soil maintenance. But is hydroponically cultured hyacinth really simpler than traditional soil cultivation? This article will provide you with a comprehensive analysis of the correct way to open water-raised hyacinth from preparation to daily maintenance. Five key points for maintaining water-raised hyacinth 1. Scientific pretreatment of the root system completely strips off the outer brown skin of the corm, and then soaked in carbendazim solution for 30 minutes for disinfection, which can effectively prevent mildew during hydroponics. It is recommended to use a special hydroponic bottle, whose closure design can not only fix the bulbs, but also leave room for the roots to stretch. 2. Precise light control can meet the demand by 2-4 hours of scattered light per day. Direct strong light can easily cause the water temperature in the bottle to rise and cause root rot. Rotating the flower vessel 45° every 3 days can prevent skewed growth of plants caused by phototaxis. 3. The intelligent water exchange system has a seven-day water exchange cycle in spring and autumn, which is shortened to 3 days in summer and extended to 15 days in winter. Keep 1/3 of the raw water when changing water to keep the microbial environment stable. It is recommended to use tap water that is left standing for 24 hours to avoid chlorine damage to roots. 4. Temperature gradient management is 15-20℃ as the optimal growth temperature range. When the room temperature exceeds 25 ° C, the hydroponic bottle can be transferred to the air-conditioned room, but direct cold wind must be avoided. When low temperatures are low in winter, you can put a thermal insulation cotton cover on the bottle. 5. Accurately add nutrient solution Add 3 drops of flower-viewing nutrient solution every week before budding, and stop fertilizing during full flowering period. When using a special nutrient solution for hydroponic cultivation, it needs to be diluted at a ratio of 1:1000 to avoid burning roots with concentrated fertilizer. The unique advantages of hydroponics hyacinth Compared with traditional soil culture, the water culture method has three core advantages: the visualization of root state makes it easy to detect problems in a timely manner; the clean, soilless characteristics are suitable for indoor display; and the water environment makes it easier to regulate temperature and humidity. Especially recommended for busy urban white-collar workers and novice gardeners.
Through scientific maintenance methods, hydroponic hyacinth can achieve continuous flowering for up to 45 days. The key is to grasp the "three control principles"-control light to prevent excessive growth, control temperature to ensure health, and control fertilizer to promote flowering. As long as you master these core skills, even newcomers to flower farming can easily gain a fragrance.
