He put the succulents into the water, but he didn't expect that

advantage

Succulents need soil with good drainage and should be watered when the soil is dry and when it is wet. Excessive watering can easily cause root rot, which is something many flower lovers know.

But easy root rot does not mean that they cannot be grown hydroponically. In fact, succulents can not only be grown hydroponically, but hydroponically grown succulents also have many advantages.

4. Place the succulent in a cool and ventilated place. New roots will grow in about a week and the shriveled leaves will slowly unfold. After the succulents have grown for a period of time, you can pick off the damaged leaves.

This method is very suitable for flower lovers who buy succulents online. Sometimes the delivery time of online purchases is very long, and the succulents will become shriveled and dehydrated. This method of treatment is very effective.

In addition, this method is also suitable for old succulent plants that have difficulty taking root in the soil.

Half soil, half water

In addition to soil and hydroponics, succulents can also be grown in half soil and half water, which can both retain water and prevent the roots from staying in water all the time.

Points to note

1. Keep the air circulating.

The root rot of soil-grown succulents is not caused by too much water, but because the soil becomes sticky after excessive watering and the roots cannot breathe, so they will rot and die.

Therefore, hydroponic succulents should also be placed in a ventilated place to keep sufficient oxygen in the water, ensure that the roots can breathe normally, and prevent root rot.

2. Hydroponics of succulents does not mean immersing the entire root system in water, but it is similar to water-induced rooting. The lowest roots are inserted in the water, and part of the roots are exposed above the water surface.

For succulents with well-developed root systems, the water level can be higher.

3. Hydroponic succulents are prone to malnutrition, so some nutrient solution needs to be dripped into the hydroponic bottle.
