Alocasia macrorrhizos can absorb dust and purify the air, and its leaves even drip crystal-clear water droplets from their edges, which is very beautiful.How do you grow Alocasia macrorrhizos hydroponically? What little tips are there?

If you want to grow a hydroponic Alocasia macrorrhizos, you can first try growing a small one hydroponically, so it can slowly grow on its own. Large ones are more expensive, and hydroponic growing is also more difficult. Hydroponic Alocasia macrorrhizos is very simple:

1. First take the Alocasia macrorrhizos out of the soil in the flowerpot, wash the roots clean, and then cut off some of the excess roots.

2. Disinfect it with carbendazim, then let it air dry for one or two days. The hydroponic container does not need to be too large, and tap water can be left to sit for a while before use.

3. When growing Alocasia macrorrhizos hydroponically, add water to the container, but do not submerge all the roots; only part of the roots should be in contact, and even more importantly, do not submerge the stems and leaves of the plant.

4. If you feel it is not stable enough, add clean-washed vermiculite and perlite to the hydroponic bottle at a ratio of 2:1, then add some small stones.

5. Place it in a shaded spot; it cannot be exposed to strong sun, as it is a shade-loving plant. Do not spray water on the leaves. Be sure to open the windows often for ventilation.

6. Place the Alocasia macrorrhizos in the middle of the medium. Alocasia macrorrhizos is a very easy plant to grow; a gardening enthusiast started with a very small seedling, and in half a year it grew very large.

7. Also be careful to provide enough fertilizer. Once roots have grown, regularly pour a little nutrient solution into the water every month, or use water from a fish tank, and it will grow very quickly, with glossy, shining leaves.

8. As long as temperature, light, and nutrients are sufficient, hydroponic Alocasia macrorrhizos can be grown just as well as soil-grown ones, equally lush and flourishing.
