The leaves need to be rinsed with clean water every day, the leaves need to be sprayed with nutrient solution once every three or four days, and the water needs to be changed every fifteen days.

Hoya hydroponics cultivation method

1. If the whole plant is hydroponically cultivated, first remove the dead leaves and rotten roots, and soak it in nutrient solution for half a day. If the branches are hydroponically cultivated, you need to choose branches with buds, cut them, and dry them in a cool place.

Precautions for growing ball orchid in water

1. Light: Ball orchid is suitable for surviving in a diffuse light and semi-shade environment. It needs to be moved to a light-proof place in summer to prevent leaf burns, which will cause the leaves to turn yellow and fall off, affecting the ornamental effect. However, it cannot be without exposure to sunlight for a long time, otherwise the leaf color will become lighter, the flowers will become fewer, and the appearance will be worse.

2. Fertilization: If you want the Hoya to grow quickly and have many beautiful flowers, you can use a small amount of animal manure as fertilizer. If you want to reduce the probability of disease and insect infestation on the Hoya, you can use wood ash as fertilizer.
