The bowl is a beautiful aquatic plant, which is common in silent ponds and aquariums. Its flowers and its green leaves make them plants of love to many gardeners. Hydraulic is a very well-suited method of planting a bowl, as it provides adequate moisture and nutrients for plants. So, what's the water-growing method for the bowling
I. Tools and materials required
The following tools and materials need to be prepared before the planting of a bowl of lactation begins:
A bowl of lotus: can be purchased from a local horticulture shop or an online plant store。
2. Packagings suitable for hydroponics: select a container with a wide mouth, such as a glass tank or plastic container, to accommodate the root system of the bowl。
Water quality treatment equipment, such as tanks, pumps, pumps, etc。
4 water culture media: pearl rock, cement sand, asbestos nets, foaming plastics, etc. Can be used as media to support plants and root systems。
5. Hydrofertilizers: fertilizers specially designed for hydroponic plants。
Thermometers and photometers: used to monitor water temperature and light。
7 fish tank heaters (optional): used to maintain water temperature。
Light sources: if indoor light is insufficient, additional artificial light sources, such as plant growth lamps, may be required。
Ii. Water preparation steps for a bowl of lotus
Preparation of packagings: select a clean container to ensure that there are no remaining chemical substances. Filling approximately half of the aqueous media at the bottom of the container。
2. Placement of a bowl of lotus: choose a healthy bowl of lotus and carefully embed it into a water medium. Ensure that the crown of the plant (leaves and flowers) hangs above the water surface and the roots sink into the medium。
3. Provide light: place containers where they are bright but avoid direct sunlight. If indoor light is insufficient, plant growth lamps can be used to provide additional light sources。
4. Water quality management: regular water replacement to keep water clear. Generally, water is replaced every 1-2 weeks. The water temperature is monitored to keep it between 18 and 28 degrees celsius and can be maintained by a fish tank heater. Water quality treatment equipment is used to remove chlorine and other harmful substances to ensure that water quality is suitable for plant growth。
Fertilizers: add as described in the packaging using fertilizers specially designed for hydroponic plants. Usually, the fertilizer is added once a month。
Ensuring good ventilation: the use of gas pumps and stones to provide sufficient oxygen for water to promote healthy growth of plant roots。
7. Monitoring growth: periodic inspection of plant health. Ensure that there are no signs of yellow leaves or pests. If the roots of plants are too strong, some of the long roots can be trimmed to promote new roots。
8. Care for flowers: if a bowl of lotus plants blooms, care must be taken to treat them so as not to destroy them. Flowers usually float on the water, but ensure that they are freely available。
Monitoring water quality parameters: periodic testing of water quality parameters, such as ph, dissolved oxygen, electrical conductivity, etc., to ensure that water quality is suitable for plant growth。
10. Periodic cleaning containers: periodic cleaning of the wall of the container to remove algae and other contamination to maintain the health of the hydroponic system。
Common problems and solutions
1. Cultivation of phytoleaf: this may be a sign of nutrient deficiency. Attempt to increase fertilizer use or frequency。
Plants cease to grow: this may be a water quality problem, such as too low water temperature or insufficient oxygen in water. Check and improve the corresponding parameters。
3. The water becomes obfuscated: this may be excessive in water. Water is regularly replaced and water purification equipment is used for water quality treatment。
4. Overgrowth of plants: if roots are too strong, they can be moderately trimmed。
Algae growth: ensure that the wall surface of the container is kept clean and light time is reduced。
The health of plants and water quality parameters are monitored patiently and on a regular basis during the water cultivation of the bowls. Through the provision of appropriate light, water quality and nutrients, these beautiful aquatic plants can be appreciated in their home for spectacular flowers and healthy growth。
