How to grow spider plants hydroponically to make them grow more vigorously?

Chlorophytum has slender leaves that are evergreen, emerald green and shiny. It is very suitable for growing at home. It can not only beautify the environment but also purify the air. It is known as the "green purifier". It likes warm, humid and semi-shady environment, has strong adaptability, and can grow in water. So how can you grow spider plants hydroponically to make them grow more vigorously? Let’s take a look below.

1. Hydroponic method of Chlorophytum

1. Choose a hydroponic container

If you want to grow spider plants hydroponically , the choice of container is very important. It is best to choose a transparent bottle, which will help with observation and allow you to appreciate the roots. Because the roots of spider plants are white and plump, they are very suitable for viewing. However, the most important point is that without the interference of soil, hydroponic spider plants are also more ornamental.

2. Treat the roots of Chlorophytum

Take the soil-grown spider plant out of the pot and rinse the soil from the roots with slow running water. Use scissors to cut off old and rotten roots, keep the whitish fibrous roots, clean up diseased and broken leaves, and make the spider plant look brand new. Then soak the roots of the plant in potassium permanganate solution for 10 minutes to disinfect.

3. Add water drops into the nutrient solution to hydroponically cultivate spider plants

Put the processed spider plant into a hydroponic container. For a professional hydroponic container (with a hydroponic basket), fix the spider plant with stones to ensure that the plant is in an upright position. For an ordinary glass container, place the plant upright with the leaves close to the wall of the bottle, and then pour water along one side of the bottle wall. When the water reaches one-third of the volume, you can drip in nutrient solution to hydroponically grow the spider plant.

2. How to grow spider plants in water so that they grow luxuriantly?

1. Change water more often

The most important thing about hydroponic spider plants is changing the water. If you want it to grow more luxuriantly, you must change the water every two days. Otherwise, the water will become turbid and affect the normal growth of the plant, so this is very important.

2. Add nutrient solution

Water contains certain nutrients, but spider plants need more nutrients during the growth period. If you want them to grow vigorously, you need to add nutrient solution to provide them with more nutrients. Don't do it too often, once a week is enough.

3. Proper lighting

Although spider plants do not require much light, they still need light every time, three or four hours a day is enough. The temperature should be controlled at around normal room temperature of 25 degrees, not exceeding 30 degrees or lower than 5 degrees, otherwise growth will stop or frostbite will occur.
