These plants are easy to grow hydroponically and simple to handle, so don't miss out if you don't like soil culture

If you're not a fan of soil culture, how can you miss out on hydroponics? These plants are easy to grow hydroponically and simple to handle

More and more people now like to keep a few potted green plants at home to purify the air and beautify the environment, especially watching the flowers and branches they prune themselves grow better and better - it's just so delightful, so fulfilling. But many people like growing plants yet feel helpless when they see pots of soil, and if they're not careful they make a mess all over the room and still have to clean it up. Sometimes they water too much, sometimes they forget to water for a long time - for some people it simply couldn't be more troublesome.

Since you don't want soil culture, hydroponics is naturally the best choice. Today I'll share a few plants with you that can grow well hydroponically - you can easily give them a try at home

Lucky bamboo

Lucky bamboo is especially prone to root rot when watered improperly in soil, so hydroponics is actually very common. Once it has rooted, growing lucky bamboo hydroponically is really simple: buy a taller glass bottle, put the bamboo straight in, and as long as you don't let it run out of water, it's fine. As for lucky bamboo that hasn't rooted, I bet you spend every day on edge, afraid the leaves will turn yellow and it will die. I once bought 30 unrooted lucky bamboo stalks. After taking them home, I cut the bases at a 45-degree angle, removed the yellowing leaves, and kept about six or seven leaves to avoid wasting too many nutrients in the water. Because I'm a bit lazy, I changed the water once a week. At first the leaves kept yellowing and I kept peeling them off, and by the third week they gradually rooted. Now not a single one has died, and they're growing very well. Also, before rooting you actually don't need nutrient solution - even if you use it, it can't be absorbed. After rooting you can use a moderate amount, which can help lucky bamboo grow greener and more vigorous.

Clivia

Clivia that people usually see is grown in soil, but actually hydroponic clivia is very common too, and it's fairly easy to keep alive. Unrooted clivia only needs its roots to slightly touch the water surface - don't let too much touch it or it will easily rot. Change the water every two days. After it grows new roots, you still need to make sure the roots aren't all soaked in water; leave about half of them above the water. Also, clivia roots very easily secrete a sticky substance that causes root rot, so regularly cleaning its roots is important too. Generally, in a ventilated spot, root rot is unlikely to occur. In summer, clivia usually doesn't grow very well - they prefer cold environments, so it's not strange for them to bloom in winter. So in summer, be sure to shade clivia and protect it from heat.

Pothos

The last one is a very common green plant - pothos. Pothos has a very developed root system and very strong adaptability. I had two pots of soil-grown pothos at home, and just for fun, I cut off all the extending vines, found a rather simple container, poured in water, and put the pothos in. Unexpectedly, it actually grew very well, and as long as it doesn't lack water, it stays green. But if it really does lack water, don't worry - after all, once I forgot to add water to my pothos for more than half a month, and it was summer when water evaporates especially fast. By the time I remembered, the pothos vines had all wilted. Unexpectedly, after I added water, it recovered within half a day. It simply couldn't be more low-maintenance.

Actually, plants like spider plants, tulips, narcissus, and hyacinths are all quite suitable for water culture and are especially beautiful too. Those who don't like soil culture can give hydroponics a try - I believe you'll come to love hydroponic plants as well.
