The fleshy beads are very popular for their small, exquisite and colorful colors. How to raise fleshy beads in water? Below, let's take a detailed look. Choose the right fleshy beads When selecting fleshy beads, you should select plants with healthy roots and no pests and diseases. Hydroponics fleshy beads have certain requirements on water quality. It is best to choose a water source that is non-polluting and has a pH close to neutral (6.5-7.0). To prepare hydroponic equipment for hydroponic fleshy beads, you need to prepare the following equipment: transparent hydroponic bottles, hydroponic substrates, cutting tools, scissors, clear water, etc. Hydroponic bottles can be selected from glass bottles, plastic bottles, etc., as long as they are transparent, hydroponic substrates can be selected from perlite, vermiculite, etc. to increase the ventilation and drainage properties of the plants. Handling the fleshy beads 1. Cleaning: Remove the fleshy beads from the soil, rinse them with running water, and remove soil and impurities on the roots.
2. Cutting: Use scissors to trim the roots of the fleshy beads to remove the rotten and blackened roots.
3. Soaking: Put the processed fleshy beads into diluted potassium permanganate solution and soak them for 10-15 minutes for disinfection and sterilization. Hydroponics maintenance 1. Filling hydroponics substrate: Put the hydroponics substrate at the bottom of the hydroponics bottle to form a certain space for the plant's roots to stretch.
2. Put the plant: Put the processed fleshy beads into a hydroponic bottle to ensure that the root system is in full contact with the hydroponic substrate.
3. Watering: Add clear water to completely soak the hydroponic substrate. The water level should not be too high to avoid rot of the roots of the plant.
4. Lighting: Meaty beads like to scatter light, so they should be placed in a bright place indoors to avoid direct sunlight.
5. Change water: Change the water in the hydroponic bottle every once in a while to keep the water quality clean.
6. Fertilization: During the vigorous growth period, appropriate amounts of liquid fertilizer can be applied to supplement the nutrients needed by the plants. Notes 1. The roots of hydroponic fleshy beads require high oxygen and should maintain good ventilation.
2. Pay attention to observe the growth status of the plants and adjust maintenance measures such as lighting and watering in a timely manner.
3. Avoid placing fleshy beads in dry environments such as air conditioning and heating to avoid dehydration of the plants.
How to raise fleshy beads in water is not complicated. You only need to master some basic skills to easily maintain beautiful fleshy plants. I hope this article can help you and wish you success in maintaining them!
