How to grow hydroponic vegetables more vigorously

Hydroponic vegetables are easy to grow, grow fast and are easy to care for, and have relatively high nutritional value. Leafy vegetables are the most common, such as lettuce and water spinach. Many families now practice hydroponics on their own, which not only satisfies their consumption needs but also allows them to enjoy the fun of planting. Vegetables are also plants, and they still need careful care when grown hydroponically.

Key points of hydroponic vegetable cultivation

1. Make a hydroponic box

Prepare a watertight container, which can be a pot, wooden box, or plastic box. It is best to use a foam plastic box. Also prepare a floating board and make small holes at equal intervals on it to ensure that there is enough space for the vegetable plants to grow, so that it can carry the vegetables.

2. Vegetable processing

Before hydroponics, the roots of vegetables need to be processed. Wash the roots with clean water, then cut off the dead roots, old roots and rotten roots, disinfect them with potassium permanganate, and then rinse the roots with clean water before using them for hydroponics.

3. Water culture

When conducting hydroponics, pay attention to protecting the root system of vegetables, gently place the roots into the holes of the float and fix them well. Always keep water in the hydroponic box, and add nutrient solution to ensure nutrients. During the hydroponics period, change the water according to the growth of the vegetables to prevent the water quality from deteriorating and affecting the growth of vegetables.

Precautions for hydroponic vegetable cultivation

When applying liquid fertilizer to vegetables, the fertilizer may adhere to the roots or accumulate in the water and burn the roots. It is necessary to change the water and clean the water tank according to the situation. Moreover, during the maintenance process, in order to ventilate the plant roots, it is necessary to lift the float from time to time to allow the vegetable roots to leave the water surface.
