How to grow Guangdong Dieffenbachia hydroponically

Water change requirements for hydroponic Dieffenbachia

The most critical measure for the success of hydroponic flowers is changing the water.

In spring and autumn, the growth of evergreen is relatively vigorous, and the water should be changed every 7 to 10 days. In winter, the plant's growth is dormant or very slow, so the intervals between water changes are longer, generally every 15 days or so. When the temperature is high in summer, water changes must be increased, generally every 4 to 5 days.

If tap water is used, it must be connected in advance and left in the air for more than a day to fully dissolve oxygen and release chlorine. When changing the water, you should wash off the mucus on the roots and cut off the rotten roots and burnt leaves.

Fertilization requirements for hydroponic evergreen

For water-grown evergreens, use a special nutrient solution formulated for foliage plants. Add nutrient solution more often in the spring and autumn when growth is vigorous. Apply less often in the summer when the temperature is high and the winter when growth is slow or stops due to low temperatures.

Ventilation requirements for hydroponic Dieffenbachia

The oxygen content in water is an important factor affecting the growth of hydroponic Dieffenbachia, and is affected by the activities of people indoors and ventilation. You should open doors and windows more often for ventilation to adjust the room temperature and keep the indoor air fresh.

Light requirements for hydroponic Dieffenbachia

In summer, avoid direct sunlight to prevent sunburn, and in winter, avoid insufficient light to prevent yellow leaves.
