Are you familiar with this? The topic of hydroponic methods for succulents and precautions for beginners cultivating succulents hydroponically, below, the editor will provide you with a detailed explanation.
Recently, I've been raising a lot of succulents at home, and I'm really attracted to their cute appearance. Looking at these cute succulents, I feel they have a healing effect, making people feel better just by looking at them. It was only after seeing my neighbor's succulents that I realized succulents can also be cultivated hydroponically, and the hydroponically cultivated succulents look very fresh and vibrant. The hydroponic method is also very simple. Today, I will share some tips on hydroponic cultivation of succulents with everyone.
Hydroponic cultivation of rooted succulents
1. Transparent glass bottle
For rooted succulents, when using hydroponic cultivation, we first need to prepare a transparent glass bottle so that we can observe the growth of the plant in a timely manner. It is best to choose a bottle with a narrow top and wide bottom, which is convenient for holding the succulents.

2. Handling succulents
After digging the soil-grown succulents out of the soil, we need to handle the roots properly. Trim the overgrown roots to a length of about 2-3 cm, wash the soil attached to the roots with clean water, then soak them in a 2% potassium permanganate solution for sterilization and disinfection. Finally, place them in a shady place to air-dry, and the succulent roots are successfully processed.
3. Placing in a glass bottle
In the end, we can place the processed succulents in the glass bottle, ensuring that the water in the bottle covers the roots of the succulents.
Hydroponic cultivation of rootless succulents
1. For rootless succulents, our handling method is slightly different. After pruning the roots, we need to place the pruned succulents in a shady place to dry for a few days. This allows the wounds to heal before we can adopt the hydroponic method.
