1. Hydroponics technique
1) Instrument choosing. According to the type, shape, character and color of certain
hydroponic plant you like, alternative instruments such as bottle, basin and crock can
be chosen for make a new contrast and complement with target flowers or plants.
2) Soil eliminating and root cleaning. That is a working procedure within the
transformation from soil culture to hydroponics. It is well known that organic nutrition
is for soil culture but which completely turns to inorganic nutrition after hydroponics
used, therefore organic compound existing in soil and attaching to roots must be
strictly cleaned up to avoid the effect against healthy growth of hydroponic flowers and
infection of insect pests.
3) Root washing. Take flowers or plants you like out of soil or flower pot, firstly lightly
lifting branch and stem with right hand, and softly supporting root with left hand , then
slightly shaking and patting root with right hand after loosing branch and stem in order
to make root completely out of soil. After that put root into clean water for 15-20
minutes and softly wash it with water changed for 2-3 times until no soil adhere to root
and the water for cleaning is clear and transparent without mud sand. Pay close
attention that the roots of certain flowers are tough and twisted so that lots of mud
sand is hidden among roots gaps, thus bamboo, stick or screwdriver can be used for
clean. One of the crucial points of successful hydroponics is no mud sand left to the
most degree. Put the roots washed in clean water into 5% potassium permanganate
solution for 20-30 minutes for disinfection.
After mud sand cleaned, proper elimination of old root, sick root as well as old and
yellow leaves should be operated on the basis of growth status of flower root.
Because the root of hydroponic flower is also an important part of sight, root shape
must be considered when root is fixed. Also the plant should be re-cleaned after its
roots and leaves have been cut off to wash away the residual during cutting against
the pollution in hydroponic instrument.
bare during water changing. Once change water , wash root and instrument bottom
with clean water and cut off faded and mushy branches, leaved and root. It is regularly
that certain parts of plants roots turn mushy in the progress of healthy growth. The
clipper disinfected by alcohol pad may be used to eliminate mushy leaves and
sometimes old root to promote the growth of new root under the guide of professional
workers. Water root protection must be highly complied to ensure the healthy growth..
Water root is the white and light one locating at the bottom of hydroponic plant, some
from stem root and others from taproot, is absorption component so it must be
protected.
5) Humidity keeping
It is harmful to plant growth that less air humidity and dry environment indoor in winter
especially in the north. Therefore, insufflation with clean water to keep humidity on
leaves twice a day is necessary.
