In hot weather, grow flowers in water; they grow a segment a day and just looking at them makes you feel cool.

During the dog days of summer, heat waves roll in and the flowers at home wilt and look listless. Why not try hydroponics? Once the roots absorb enough water, the leaves quickly turn lush green, and placed indoors, they look cooling!

How do you grow English ivy hydroponically?

English ivy is highly adaptable to its environment, prefers warmth and humidity, and dislikes high temperatures and dryness. Summer is the best time for hydroponics!

Hydroponic steps

1. Select a one-year-old semi-lignified branch, about 10-15cm long, and keep only a few leaves at the top.

2. Fill the hydroponic bottle halfway with water, insert the English ivy branch, then place it in a spot with indirect light for care. It will root in about 10 days.

3. Change the water every 2 days to prevent the lower end of the branch from rotting and smelling bad. After rooting, gradually increase the light, but avoid direct strong sunlight.

How do you grow asparagus fern (Asparagus setaceus) hydroponically?

Asparagus fern has extremely high ornamental value. Placed in the living room or study, it can both purify the air and add a scholarly touch. In summer's high temperature and high humidity, hydroponic asparagus fern roots fairly easily.

Hydroponic steps

1. Remove the asparagus fern from its mother pot, rinse the roots clean with water, and prune overly long and rotted roots.

2. Place the asparagus fern in a hydroponic bottle, add maifan stone, cobblestones, etc. to secure the roots, then add water up to 2/3 of the roots, and care for it in a ventilated spot with indirect light.

3. Change the water every 2-3 days, and new roots will grow in about 5 days. Once there are more roots, you can appropriately add some nutrient solution.

4. It is normal for yellow leaves to appear in the early stage of care, so don't worry about it. Once the roots stabilize, the leaves will naturally turn green again.

How do you grow spider plant (Chlorophytum comosum) hydroponically?

Spider plant is a little expert at absorbing formaldehyde. It grows slowly in summer and easily turns yellow with dry tips, so why not place it indoors in hydroponics? It is clean and hygienic, and can also purify the environment.

Hydroponic steps

1. Remove the soil-grown spider plant from its mother pot, rinse the roots clean with clear water, and cut off the rotted roots.

2. Pour half a bottle of water into the hydroponic bottle, put in the prepared spider plant, then add some small stones to secure the plant.

3. Place the spider plant on a bright windowsill, change the water every 3-5 days, and in about 10 days it will grow tender white new roots.

4. If gardening friends find it troublesome, you can directly cut a tender shoot with aerial roots from the spider plant's stolon, insert it into water, and within a few days it will produce tender white roots!

How do you grow pennywort (Hydrocotyle vulgaris) hydroponically?

Pennywort loves water and light. In summer, whether grown hydroponically, in soil, or semi-hydroponically and semi-in-soil, it will grow very well!

Hydroponic steps

1. Select pennywort with roots, place it in a prepared container, add stones to secure the roots, then add water until it is 7/10 full.

2. Place it on a south-facing balcony for care, ensure sufficient light, and change the water every 5 days to prevent mosquitoes and insects.

3. Usually spray water on the leaves more often to keep them moist. If you find leaves turning yellow and rotting, remove them promptly.

4. If you find changing the water troublesome, you can directly use a flowerpot that does not leak, add about 3cm of soil, put in the pennywort, firm it with soil, then add water until almost full, and grow it semi-in-soil and semi-in-water.

How do you grow money tree (Pachira aquatica) hydroponically?

The money trees we usually see are all soil-grown. In fact, money tree can also be grown hydroponically, and it is easier to care for than soil-grown, with a lower chance of yellow leaves and root rot!

Hydroponic steps

1. Select a section of robustly growing branch, 10-15cm long, keep 2-4 leaves at the top, cut the bottom into a 45-degree diagonal cut, and apply some rooting powder to the cut.

2. Add 1/3 water to the hydroponic bottle, put in the branch, then add some small stones to secure the roots.

3. Before rooting, change the water every 3 days. After rooting, there is no need to change the water; you can periodically add water to the hydroponic bottle. When the weather is too hot, spray water on the leaves.

4. Gardening friends can also switch from soil culture to hydroponics. First take it out of the pot, rinse off the soil, cut off the roots, then put it into a planting basket, add water, and keep the bottom of the main trunk about 1cm away from the water surface. With ventilation and care for half a month, it will root.

Cut root branches and insert them into water, and you can enjoy a cool summer.

Gardening friends, quickly share it with your family.
