How to care for hydroponic succulents
A guide on caring for hydroponic succulents, including methods and precautions, in the aspect of green plants and flowers. Here is a detailed introduction.
Many succulent enthusiasts must have encountered a situation where newly purchased succulents do not grow roots for a long time and remain in a僵苗 state. What should we do in such cases?
I am going to introduce a method to revive dead succulents to my friends, which is hydroponic root induction!
First, prepare an empty bottle, pour some water (not full), and place the succulent near the bottle opening, ensuring the succulent roots do not touch the water.
Succulents without new roots, if soaked in water for a long time, may rot. Placing the succulents on a water cup for about 10 days will help them grow new roots.

Hydroponic root growth is indeed good, but there are also precautions to take. In fact, hydroponic root growth is an induced process for succulents to root quickly in a high-humidity environment. However, hydroponics cannot provide sufficient nutrients for succulents. Therefore, once the new roots of the succulent plant grow about one centimeter, they can be transplanted into a pot with soil, timely supplemented with nutrients, and allowed to grow quickly and adapt to the pot.
