Characteristics of succulents The advantages of hydroponics The principles of hydroponics of succulents The precautions for hydroponics of succulents are loved by many plant lovers because of their unique shape and easy maintenance characteristics. In recent years, hydroponics succulents have gradually become a popular maintenance method. Why can succulents adapt to hydroponics? This article will reveal this mystery for you. Characteristics of succulent plants Succulent plants, also known as succulent plants, are a type of plants with thick and fleshy stems and leaves. They can store a large amount of water to adapt to a drought environment. This characteristic allows succulent plants to survive in the natural environment, while in hydroponics, succulent plants can also rely on the water they store to maintain growth. Advantages of hydroponics environment 1. Saving space: Hydroponics succulent plants do not require soil and can be placed in small spaces, such as window sills, bookshelves, etc., saving space.
2. Cleanliness and hygiene: Hydroponics plants do not come into contact with the soil, which reduces the occurrence of pests and diseases, and avoids the harm to the human body caused by bacteria, viruses, etc. in the soil.
3. Strong ornamental: Hydroponically cultured succulent plants have unique shapes and bright colors, and have high ornamental value. Principles of hydroponics of succulent plants 1. Water supply: Succulent plants grow in water and absorb water and nutrients through their roots to meet growth needs.
2. Oxygen supply: In hydroponic systems, plant roots are in contact with air, which is conducive to root breathing and promotes growth.
3. Nutrient supply: The nutrition of hydroponic succulent plants is mainly provided through nutrient solution. The nutrient content and proportion in the nutrient solution can be adjusted according to the growth needs of plants. Precautions for hydroponics succulents 1. Water quality: Hydroponics succulents have high water quality requirements, and purified water or filtered tap water should be used.
2. Nutrient solution: The ratio and replacement cycle of nutrient solution should be appropriate to avoid excess or insufficient nutrients.
3. Light: Hydroponic succulent plants require sufficient light to ensure photosynthesis.
4. Temperature: The suitable temperature range for hydroponic succulent plants is 15℃-25 ℃.
Succulent plants can adapt to hydroponic environments, mainly due to their unique ability to store water and strong adaptability. Hydroponic succulent plants have the advantages of saving space, cleanliness, and strong ornamental properties, and have become more and more plant lovers. Choice, hydroponic succulent plants also need to pay attention to factors such as water quality, nutrient solution, light and temperature to ensure healthy growth of plants.
