Hydroponic plants have been widely known,

and have been for quite a long time now.

The best thing about hydroponic plants is that they don't require much fuss,

just add some fresh water regularly,

making them perfect for lazy gardeners.




As autumn and winter arrive,

DIY a unique hydroponic plant as your companion.

The key point is, DIY hydroponic plants are really simple.


Glass Bottle Hydroponics


Glass bottle hydroponics is the most basic hydroponic method.


Place the cuttings into a glass bottle filled with water,

and in 1~2 weeks, the plant will take root in the water.


When the water in the bottle is down to half, top it up, and

change the water at least once a month.


Soil-Water Mixed Culture in Clay Pots


Hydroponics can also be combined with soil culture.


Spread soil at the bottom of a clay pot, then add an appropriate amount of fresh water.

This way, the rich nutrients in the soil will better help the plant grow.


Lysimachia nummularia (moneywort) is very well suited to this method of cultivation. Moneywort is extremely vigorous and can multiply several times over in just a few days.


When the water in the pot decreases, top it up promptly.


Crystal Soil


Crystal soil is a new type of soil that is rich in water and nutrients.


This soil is used much like fresh water, and normally requires no watering. Before planting, wash the soil off the plant roots, then spray a little water with a spray bottle every day to keep the soil surface moist.


It's worth noting that you should not let water accumulate at the bottom for long periods.


Teacups


Teacups may need to be replaced often, and it's a real shame to throw away old teacups that are still perfectly fine. So why not use them as containers for hydroponic plants?


Teacups are already very attractive on their own, and paired with small plants the look will be off the charts. However, to keep the teacup steady, remember to put some white stones at the bottom.


Glass Bottles with Handles


Punch holes in idle glass bottles and thread through string or wire to make handles. This both boosts the aesthetic appeal and frees up desktop space.


Either way you look at it, it's a win-win situation.


Succulent Says


Just like everything else in this world, caring for plants also requires trying many possibilities to find what suits you best. Which flowers and plants you like most, which methods you can master best, which decorations best match your personal style - every aspect requires trial and error to find the best answer.
