How to care for hydroponic Monstera

Hydroponic method of Monstera

When hydroponically growing Monstera, it is best to select smaller plants, or cut branches with aerial roots and insert the branches into the water for direct hydroponic cultivation. When cutting branches with aerial roots, be sure to choose plants with strong growth, cut the branches, place them in a cool and ventilated place before hydroponics, let the incision dry completely, and then place them in the hydroponic bottle.

Because the Monstera plant is relatively large, you must carefully choose the container when preparing it. Generally, you will choose a container with a stable bottom and not too high. This way, even if the plant grows larger, the container will not fall over. It must have sufficient sunlight and the water must be changed regularly.

How to maintain hydroponic Monstera and make it grow fast

When growing Monstera in water, you need to change the water regularly to ensure that it has sufficient nutrients, and there must be a suitable growth temperature and sufficient sunlight.

Monstera is also quite afraid of drought, so when you find the soil in the pot is dry, you should water it until the soil surface is moist. Otherwise, water will easily accumulate in the pot, causing root rot and yellow leaves.

Precautions for caring for Monstera in water culture

1. Light: Hydroponic Monstera is more afraid of sunlight than soil-grown Monstera. Moreover, when hydroponically cultivated, it is placed under the scorching sun, and green algae are likely to form in the water. It is recommended to place it in a bright place with diffuse light indoors to avoid the maintenance environment being too shaded.

2. Water: When Monstera is just being hydroponically cultivated, the water needs to be replaced once a day. After the plant grows water roots, replace the water when the water becomes turbid. In normal times, add water in the hydroponic bottle when there is a lack of water.

3. Fertilization: The hydroponic Monstera grows slowly because there is no nutrition in the water. You can wait for the aquatic roots to grow and when the root system grows to 5 cm long, add 3-4 drops of nutrient solution into the water every time you change the water to supplement nutrients for the plant.
