Do hydroponics plants need to be exposed to the sun? Time and distance for hydroponics plants to bask in the sun. Precautions for hydroponics plants to bask in the sun. Hydroponics plants are increasingly popular among flower lovers due to their unique growth methods and convenient maintenance methods. During the process of maintaining hydroponics plants, many novices will encounter a question: Do hydroponics plants need to bask in the sun? Let's unveil the mystery of this issue and show you something about sunshine and hydroponics. Do hydroponics plants need to be exposed to the sun?
Whether hydroponics plants need to be exposed to the sun depends on the type of plant and growth environment. The following circumstances need to be considered: 1. Under sufficient sunshine conditions, most hydroponics plants can accept a certain degree of direct sunlight, such as green radish, spider orchid, copper coin grass, etc. These plants like a well-lit environment, which can promote plant photosynthesis and is conducive to plant growth.
2. In an environment with weak sunshine, hydroponic plants can appropriately accept scattered light, such as Clivia, Cyclamen, etc. These plants have low requirements for light, and scattered light can also meet their growth needs.
3. Some hydroponic plants have low requirements for light, such as succulents, ferns, etc. These plants are suitable for growing in semi-shaded environments. Excessive exposure to direct sunlight may cause burns to plant leaves. Time and distance for hydroponics plants to bask in the sun 1. Time for basking in the sun: The time for hydroponics plants to bask in the sun is generally controlled to 4-6 hours per day to avoid exposure to the scorching sun to avoid burning plant leaves.
2. Distance from sun exposure: The distance between hydroponic plants and sunlight should be 50-100 cm. Too close or too far may affect the growth of plants. Precautions for sunning hydroponics plants 1. Observe the reaction of plants: During the process of sunning hydroponics plants, pay attention to the growth conditions of the plants. If yellowing or withering of leaves are found, the light should be adjusted immediately.
2. Maintain moisture: Basking in the sun will cause the plants to evaporate water, so when basking in the sun, ensure that the plants have sufficient moisture.
3. Avoid direct sunlight: In hot summer, try to avoid hydroponic plants receiving direct sunlight directly to avoid burning plant leaves.
Whether hydroponics plants need to be exposed to the sun must be determined according to the type of plant and growth environment. In the process of maintaining hydroponics plants, we must pay attention to the growth needs of plants, reasonably adjust the light, and create a suitable growth environment for plants. Only then can our hydroponics plants thrive and bring us beautiful scenery.
