How to hydroponically culture succulents
Succulents can not only be cultivated in soil but also in water. So how should succulents be hydroponically cultured? Let's find out below.
Hydroponic succulents: preparing a container
When hydroponically culturing succulents, we first need to prepare a transparent glass container. This type of glass container makes it easier for us to observe the growth of the succulent plant roots, and the opening of the glass container should not be too large, otherwise it is not easy to secure the succulent plant.
Understanding plant attributes
When hydroponically culturing succulents, we need to decide how much water to add based on their plant attributes. Some succulents can have their roots fully immersed in water, while others only need their roots to touch the water surface. Therefore, we must make a clear distinction, otherwise the roots of the succulent plant may rot.
Handling the succulent
When hydroponically culturing succulents, we also need to handle the roots. Trim the longer roots to retain about two to three centimeters in length, and disinfect the succulent roots, allowing the wounds to dry before hydroponic culture.
When hydroponically culturing succulents, we must pay attention to maintaining clean water quality and replace the water for the succulents every three to five days, otherwise the roots are prone to rot. Additionally, when caring for hydroponic succulents, it is essential to add nutrient solution to the water regularly. Since the nutrients in the water are limited, they cannot meet the growth needs of the succulent plant. Lastly, maintaining the right temperature is important because water has poor heat retention. If the temperature is too low, it may damage the roots of the succulent plant.
