In such fine weather with gentle breeze and warm sun, the succulents in our nursery have grown plump leaves and fleshy bodies, so cute they are off the charts. So after some serious discussion, we decided it was time to whip up a batch of hot pot meat, oh no, a succulent group buy~~

We figured that photosynthesis fans have seen enough soil-grown succulents, so this time we tried something novel——Hydroponic succulents, a clean transparent glass vase paired with succulents in top-top condition, that is a really proper set~

We placed the succulents in self-watering vases, and after three weeks we found that the little cuties had actually grown tender and juicy, the effect was truly amazing, bet you did not expect that, succulents can also be grown with personality.

Advantages of hydroponic plants

◤ The first choice of container is a neat-looking, clean and transparent glass vase; the bottle can be cleaned regularly, and it does not matter much if you do not clean it

◤ Changing the water is convenient and will not damage the roots; when it is time to add water is clear at a glance, so beginners will not run into watering problems. Even if a problem occurs, it can be spotted in time, and adjustments and treatment can be made

◤ The plant can be taken out at any time, making it easy to replace or move anywhere


Succulents & growing medium

The diameter of the succulents varies by variety at around 5-8cm. Also, do not worry about insufficient nutrients during hydroponics; the succulents we provide are planted in energy blocks, which are sponge-like nutrient media that will not shed soil or crumbs.

The energy block is a polymer organic growing medium with a patented invention, free of pests, and throughits own degradationit provides the nutrients the plant needs, and it has extremely strong water absorption; while retaining 100% water, it can also retain 30% air, the gaps for plant root growth are large, easily forming air circulation, bringing the roots more oxygen and vitality.

Hydroponic vase

It consists of a planting basket, water-absorbing cotton wick and a 125mL wide-mouth glass bottle, and is very easy to care for when paired with succulents; perhaps you can even keep two small fish or snails in the bottle!


Care suggestions

Add water only after the water in the storage bottle dries up, to avoid the plant absorbing too much water; too much water easily causes black rot and root rot, it is recommended to add 1/4 water each week;

Succulents need ventilation and suitable light, and can be placed on a sunny windowsill;

Please be patient and give the plants time to grow.
