Why can't I grow flowers and plants well in hydroponics?

Reasons for root rot and yellow leaves of hydroponic flowers and plants

Reason 1: Low oxygen levels

The low oxygen content in the water causes the plant roots to be deprived of oxygen and die.

Solution:

Make your own oxygenated water to increase the oxygen content in the water.

1. Increase the frequency of water changes. Generally, the water should be changed every 5-10 days in spring and autumn, and every five days in summer. Expose the tap water in the sun for 2 hours, and then change the water after the chlorine in the water has evaporated.

2. Vibration increases oxygen. Use one hand to fix the plant, and use the other hand to hold the container and gently shake it more than 10 times. After shaking, the dissolved oxygen content of the nutrient solution can be increased by about 30%.

Reason 2: The temperature is too high

As the temperature continues to increase, the water temperature will also gradually increase. Excessively high temperatures can cause aging of the plant's roots, so the maximum temperature that hydroponic plants can withstand must be maintained at around 30 degrees Celsius.

Solution:

Avoid direct sunlight and place the hydroponic bottle in a brightly lit living room. In summer, if placed on a windowsill or other location, a sunshade net needs to be added.

Reason 3: Poor water quality

If there are residual plant fragments or other impurities in the water, the water will become turbid and have an odor, which will cause the roots of hydroponic plants to rot over time.

Solution:

Charcoal has the effect of purifying water quality. You can smash the charcoal into small pieces. When changing the water, add 5/6 small pieces of charcoal to effectively purify the water quality and prevent plant root rot and yellow leaves.

Solution to root rot in hydroponics of flowers and plants

If the roots of the hydroponic flowers and plants in your home have rotten roots, you need to take action to solve the problem.

1. Take the plant out of the hydroponic bottle, then remove the rotten parts of the roots and cut off the rotten parts of the stems.

2. Soak the pruned plants in 0.5% potassium permanganate solution for 20-30 minutes for sterilization.

3. Spray 0.5% potassium permanganate solution to disinfect the hydroponic bottle.

4. Place the cleaned plants in a sterilized hydroponic bottle, then add clean water for cultivation. You can drop a few drops of nutrient solution into the water.

5. Then just take good care of it.
