What are hydroponic flowers?

Advantages of hydroponic plants

There are many advantages of hydroponic plants. Many homes do not have sufficient light, but it is relatively suitable for the growth of hydroponic plants. Hydroponic plants require lower nutrients and can grow well in tap water without the need to add any nutrients. Of course, the advantages of hydroponic plants are not limited to these.

Adjust humidity

The medium of hydroponic plants is mainly water, and the moisture can evaporate freely. Compared with potted plants, they have a stronger ability to regulate air humidity.

No soil required

Many people with obsessive-compulsive disorder like flowers but dare not grow them at home. It’s okay if they are grown well, but if they are not, the soil will stink and they will want to throw them away as soon as they see the flowers. But hydroponic plants are different. They do not require soil and are clean, hygienic, and easy to grow. They are a must-have for people with obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Highly ornamental

The ornamental value of potted plants is very simple, just a few leaves and flowers above the soil. But for hydroponic plants, you can choose plants whose roots can be exposed to the sun, and match them with appropriate containers. They will look particularly fresh, elegant and interesting.

Indoor hydroponic plants

Buds of the White: Chlorophytum

Hydroponic spider plants can purify the air, have beautiful appearance, and are easy to maintain. They are the first choice for home hydroponics!

Take the potted spider plant out of the pot, remove the dirt at the roots, and wash it repeatedly to prevent the dirt from contaminating the water. After washing, cut off the old and rotten roots, leaving the fibrous roots, put them in a container filled with clean water, and let the roots of the spider plant grow in the water!

Standing Little Green: Green Radish

Green ivy likes warm and humid environment, grows rapidly, and most importantly, survives when exposed to water, making it one of the first choice plants for novice flower growers. If you have no experience in growing flowers, you can start with hydroponics.

Select the branches and leaves of green radish with stem nodes, place them in clean water, and change the water every 2 to 3 days. It is that simple.

Rising: Lucky Bamboo

Lucky bamboo has emerald green leaves and is shade-tolerant, so it can grow well even in environments with poor light conditions. It can be placed indoors and will grow vigorously as long as there is enough water.

Key points of hydroponics: Cut the stems of lucky bamboo into small sections of more than 20 cm, insert 1/3 of the branches into water, and it will survive when roots take root.

Beautiful and lush: Ivy

Ivy has thin branches, but it easily grows aerial roots. Can grow on other objects. It can grow in full sun and is extremely shade tolerant.

Hydroponic method: It is very simple to grow ivy hydroponically. Just put a part of it into a container filled with clean water and let the roots be immersed in the water to grow. You must believe in the strong vitality of ivy.

Elegant and chic: Asparagus fern

Most of the asparagus ferns in homes are grown in soil, and their branches can spread and grow in spirals. In fact, what you don’t know is that asparagus fern can also be grown in water.

Hydroponic asparagus fern: After buying the asparagus fern, remove it from the pot, clean the soil, and place it in a hydroponic container. When you first start hydroponics, change the water every 3 days and clean the roots every time you change the water. After half a month, you can change the water every 4 or 5 days, and each time you add water, just cover 1/3 of the roots. Place it in a place with scattered light and keep it ventilated.

Colorful: Hyacinth

Colorful, eye-catching, and fragrant, this is everyone's impression of hyacinths. With fall here, it’s time to plant hyacinths.

Hydroponic method: It is easy to find a suitable hydroponic container before hydroponics. You can buy a professional hydroponic container bottle and let the bulb fit right in the bottle mouth. Pour 1/2 of water over the plant so that the roots are just submerged in water. Change the water about once every two weeks. If the water evaporates quickly, you can add water directly.

Colorful and green: Dieffenbachia

Variegated Dieffenbachia likes a shady and humid environment, so it is perfect to place it indoors!

Hydroponic method: Dieffenbachia has strict requirements on water quality. The water must be pollution-free and slightly acidic. If tap water is used, it must be dried in advance to release chlorine. Change the water once a week to clean the roots and remove the rotten leaves. Pay attention to ventilation during maintenance.

Slender branches: Millennium wood

The stem of the genus Eupatorium is round and straight, the leaves are slender, and the new leaves grow upward. It is a unique type of hydroponic plant.

Hydroponic method: When you first start hydroponics, change the water every other day until the roots grow out, then change the water once a week. During the maintenance process, pay attention to keeping the water clean. Change the water once a month in autumn and winter.

Calm and steady: Brazilian wood

Also known as the Brazilian iron tree, it likes a sunny and humid environment. It cannot grow well in an environment with sufficient bright diffuse light or in dry rooms in the north.

Hydroponic method: It is difficult for the rubber tree to take root in hydroponics, so it needs the cooperation of nutrient solution. After hydroponics, water the plant with nutrient solution and spray potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution on the leaves. In the early stage, change the water and add nutrient solution every half a month. After rooting, the cycle can be appropriately extended.

Seasonal flowers: Gerbera

Gerbera prefers a warm, sunny environment and has a certain degree of cold resistance.

Hydroponic method: When hydroponically cultivating, the leaves at the bottom can be removed appropriately to prevent the leaves from being soaked in water and rotting. Place the container in sunlight and it will soon take root.

Summary

This is the end of the introduction to autumn hydroponic plants. In fact, there are many more, and I won’t list them all here. What needs to be emphasized here is: hydroponic plants are simple and easy to grow, find an open glass bottle, control the water quality, do not let the leaves be immersed in water, place them under scattered light, add less water, and if the water goes bad, clean it in time, it is that simple.
