1. Transparent proportional utensils, such as glass bottles, mineral water bottles and water cups, are all OK. However, if you want long-term hydroponics, it is recommended to choose a more beautiful container.
2. Scissors, disinfectant (potassium permanganate solution), mainly used for root construction and disinfection.
3. Grow robust Chlorophytum plants.
The root of Chlorophytum is white and fat, which is very suitable for viewing. The most important point is that there is no interference of soil. Can Chlorophytum grow in cool environment in summer when it is hot and sultry? Therefore, a transparent glass container should be selected as far as possible for hydroponic Chlorophytum, which can not only view the leaves, but also the roots, so as to facilitate the timely adjustment of the hydroponic conditions for officials.
Formula of nutrient solution: 1.8g calcium nitrate, 0.62g potassium dihydrogen phosphate, 0.187g ammonium sulfate, 0.0278g ferrous phosphate, 0.62g potassium chloride, 0.54g magnesium sulfate. (after many experiments, the effect is good!)
Add water to dilute the prepared nutrient solution, which can provide enough nutrient elements for Chlorophytum, and it is better than the finished product nutrition on the market. But look at these chemical names dizzy you, or to the market to buy finished products!
Take the soil culture Chlorophytum out of the basin and wash the soil at the root with slow water.
Use scissors to cut off the old and rotten roots, keep the white fibrous roots, clean up the diseased leaves and remnant leaves, and make the Chlorophytum plant a new look. Then soak the roots of the plant in potassium permanganate solution for 10 minutes, disinfect.
Wash the blade with slow water, clean the soil and dust of the blade, and pay attention not to damage the blade surface during the operation to ensure the integrity of the blade.
Put the treated Chlorophytum into the water culture vessel, professional hydrophyculture vessel (with hydrophyculture basket), fix the Chlorophytum and fix it with stones to ensure that the plant is in an upright state; for ordinary glassware, put the plant straight and the leaves close to the bottle wall.
During the fixation process, avoid damaging the root system, and let the root system disperse around the container.
Pour water along one side of the bottle wall. The water is less than 1 /3 of the root of the plant.
There is no significant difference between water culture and soil culture. It is easy to put it in a bright place to ensure sufficient light. If the light is not enough, the Chlorophytum will also appear the phenomenon of long and narrow leaves, dark leaves. In addition, when the light is strong in summer, it should not be exposed to the sun, so as to avoid excessive water temperature, which may affect the root growth.
When the temperature is above 30 ℃, the growth of Chlorophytum will stop, and the tip of Chlorophytum will turn yellow. The temperature in winter is above 12 ℃, which is easy to be frostbitten at 5 ℃.
In the early stage of hydroponics, water should be changed once every 2-3 days. After new roots grow out, water should be changed once every 7 days. If water is less, water can be added. When the root length is more than 3cm, replace it with nutrient solution once every two weeks. At the same time, clean the root and bottle wall of Chlorophytum.
The water for hydroponics of Chlorophytum is usually tap water for one day, which can be used after chlorine volatilization. In different seasons, the frequency of water change is also different. In spring and autumn, change once every 7-10 days, once every 5-7 days in summer, once every 10-15 days in winter. During the maintenance, spray water properly according to the growth of Chlorophytum, and keep the leaves clean.
After root washing, the hydroponic culture of Chlorophytum needs to have a certain period of adaptation. The old roots that are not adapted to rot will be checked and cleaned in time. When the roots have wounds, do not use nutrient solution. When the roots adapt to the water environment, use nutrient solution after normal growth.
The Chlorophytum can bloom in half a year or so in hydroponic culture. When flowering, pay attention not to spray water on the flowers to avoid the flowers falling off in advance. Cut off the flower branches in time after the flower withers to promote the next year's flowering.
As soon as the water culture Chlorophytum changes the appearance of soil culture, you can see both green leaves and white roots. Although it is just a basin of ordinary plants, it can add some freshness and interest to your home.
