Add some of it in the hydroponic bottle, the leaves won’t turn yellow or the roots will rot, and the plant will grow rapidly!

Add stones to the hydroponic bottle to fix the roots

When we switch from soil cultivation to hydroponics, sometimes the root system is unstable, which will cause the plant to lean to one side or the other. This not only affects the normal growth of the root system, but also looks unsightly. Therefore, you can put pebbles in the bottle to fix the roots.

1. Pick up small stones from the roadside or seaside. The pebbles do not need to be too big, with a diameter of less than 3 cm. Then wash them clean and soak them in hot water to sterilize them. (You can also choose some colored pebbles for a nice look)

2. Place the flowers that have been removed from the pots in a hydroponic bottle, then pour in clean water. Place pebbles in the hydroponic bottle to press down the roots and thus fix the plant.

Adding sand to the hydroponic bottle promotes rooting

When we do hydroponics, what we worry about most is that the plants will not take root. If there is no rooting, then hydroponics is completely meaningless. So Huahua wants to tell you that you can add some sand in the hydroponic bottle to promote rooting!

1. Wash the sand brought back from outside with clean water, or soak it in potassium permanganate or carbendazim solution for a period of time to sterilize and disinfect it.

Before pouring water, sprinkle some sand at the bottom of the bottle, and then pour the water in. Even plants that are not easy to take root can take root quickly!

Raising fish in a hydroponic bottle to increase nutrients

Some flower lovers always complain that just adding plants in the hydroponic bottle looks too thin and the appearance is not very good. Huahua suggests that all flower lovers can choose to put a small fish in the hydroponic bottle, this problem can be solved!

1. If you want the fish to survive well, you can choose some ornamental carp and tropical fish. Anyway, they should be smaller. If they are too big, they will not fit in the bottle easily, and they will absorb more oxygen, which will easily cause hypoxia in the water. Basically 1-3 are enough. Don't put too many.

2. Change the water in time. If it is inconvenient to change all the water, then change half of the water to reduce the growth of impurities in the water. After raising fish, don't add nutrient solution to the water, as it is not good for the fish.

Add charcoal to the hydroponic bottle to prevent root rot

When growing hydroponically, the most common problem is root rot. At this time, we can add some charcoal into the hydroponic bottle, which not only prevents corrosion, but also purifies the water quality and effectively prevents root rot.

1. Smash the charcoal into small pieces the size of a fingernail. Don't turn it into powder, otherwise it will not only fail to purify the water, but may also cause water pollution.

2. Add 6-8 small pieces of charcoal into the hydroponic bottle and change it about once every half a month. This can effectively prevent the roots of hydroponic plants from rotting.

Add ferrous sulfate to the hydroponic bottle

For example, the leaves of lucky bamboo and money tree will turn yellow for no reason after being hydroponically cultivated for a period of time. Huahua thinks this is mainly caused by iron deficiency. To avoid yellow leaves, we can add some ferrous sulfate into the hydroponic bottle, which can solve this problem!

Steps:

1. Dilute ferrous sulfate powder with water at a ratio of 1:1000 to make ferrous sulfate solution.

2. Usually, drop about 10 drops into the hydroponic bottle every 7-10 days to effectively prevent yellowing leaves of the hydroponic plants. If you don’t want to go through so much trouble, you can just throw the rusty nails into the hydroponic bottle.

Add soil to the bottom of the hydroponic bottle

Finally, Huahua wants to tell you a little trick. If you feel that hydroponic flowers always grow slowly, you can try the half-soil and half-water method, which can make the flowers grow faster!

Steps:

Today Huahua will take the pennywort as an example.

1. Cut a piece of the pennywort and place it in a flowerpot.

2. In order to prevent stink and root rot, first add some loose and breathable coconut bran, then add some nutrient soil on the coconut bran, and then add some liquid fertilizer such as bean dregs fertilizer.

3. Add water once every 2-3 days and apply liquid fertilizer once a week to provide sufficient nutrients for the pennywort, allowing it to grow rapidly and soon fill the pot!
