What to do after hydroponic plants grow up

1. Replace the container

When hydroponic plants grow bigger, the space in the original container will become crowded, and the growth space will become insufficient. It will be difficult for them to breathe and grow over a long period of time, so they need to be replaced with a larger container. After choosing a container of appropriate size, rinse it in clean water, disinfect it, then rinse it again and set it aside to dry for later use.

2. Pruning

When hydroponic plants grow bigger, they will have a lot of roots underneath, which will be relatively dense and need to be pruned. Comb the roots, cut off the old roots due to natural metabolism, and some rotten roots due to improper maintenance. These need to be cut off. Be careful not to move the healthy main roots casually to avoid affecting absorption. In addition to the roots, yellow and rotten leaves on the plant should also be cut off.

3. Water change and maintenance

After these are processed, you can add water to the container and put the plants in for hydroponics. Then place them in a diffuse light environment first, and expose them to normal sunlight after they adapt.

4. Transplanting pot soil

If the plant has grown very large, you can also consider growing it in soil. Prepare suitable potting soil and transplant the plant into it.
