What Are the Fixing Methods in the Hydroponic Technique for Peace Lily?

Peace lily, also known as white sail, is a common indoor potted plant and also an excellent foliage plant. People believe the white sail carries an auspicious meaning, and its flower shape gives it the name "peace lily" (yi fan feng shun). In fact, peace lily can be grown hydroponically, but during hydroponic cultivation, it may lean to one side. So let us tell you what the fixing methods in the hydroponic technique for peace lily are.

Fixing Methods in the Hydroponic Technique for Peace Lily

Fixing method in the hydroponic technique for peace lily: foam padding at the bottom of the pot and pebbles pressing the roots. For flowers with a larger plant form and many roots, a deeper pot or jar must be used. Before planting, first place some foam blocks at the bottom of the pot, then use pebbles to press down or clamp the large roots so they stand upright and do not fall over, then slowly pour in water, enough to submerge most of the root system. Examples include Philodendron bipinnatifidum and Monstera deliciosa.

Fixing method in the hydroponic technique for peace lily: support frame method. For flowers with a smaller plant form or a single upright stem, to achieve a better root-viewing effect, instead of the bottom-padding root-pressing method, the support frame method can be used. Make a support frame from bamboo skewers or steel wire according to the size and shape of the pot, and fix and support the plant from above, below, left, right or all around so it does not fall over. Examples include Clivia miniata and Aglaonema modestum.

Fixing method in the hydroponic technique for peace lily: foam sealing method. For growing small hydroponic flowers in small open-mouth containers, teacups, processed mineral water bottles, disposable plastic cups and other utensils, after placing the plant into the container, use two semicircular foam pieces made according to the cup opening size [with a stem hole in the middle] to clamp the flower stem and fix it at the cup opening. Poke some small holes in the foam board with chopsticks to allow air flow. Then pour in water and it is done.

Fixing method in the hydroponic technique for peace lily: vertical post climbing method. Make your own post, place one end into the bottom of the jar, put the plant into the jar and fix the roots around the post, then use pebbles to press down the post base and roots, and use fine string to fix the climbing stems to the post, then pour in water and it is done. Examples include Epipremnum aureum, Syngonium podophyllum and Philodendron.

Fixing method in the hydroponic technique for peace lily: other hydroponic methods. Use a round glass fish tank, vase or other utensils, first use stones to pad the bottom and press the roots, then add colored crystal soil. Add water to cover the roots and it is done.

Fixing method in the hydroponic technique for peace lily: mixed cultivation of flowers and goldfish. Use a large glass fish tank, decorate it with small rockeries and pebbles, lay gravel at the bottom of the tank, and according to the layout of the rocks, plant hydroponic flowers that complement and enhance each other, such as Rhapis excelsa, Syngonium podophyllum and Cyperus alternifolius. For the upright problem of the flowers, fine nylon string can be used to fix the stems to the rockery. Then slowly pour tap water into the decorated tank. When pouring, be sure not to rush at the rocks and plants. When the water reaches 2/3 of the tank, let it settle for half an hour, remove the debris left on the water surface during decoration, and after 24 hours, depending on the size of the fish tank, put in 2-3 goldfish.

Fixing method in the hydroponic technique for peace lily: nested pot method. It uses two flower pots of different sizes nested inside each other. The outer pot is a flower pot without a drainage hole, and the inner pot has multiple drainage holes. When planting, first pour the nutrient solution into the outer pot, plant the flower in the inner pot, press the roots with stones, and place it into the outer pot.

Fixing method in the hydroponic technique for peace lily: planting basket cultivation method. The principle is the same as the nested pot method. Because planting baskets come in limited varieties and cost a lot, they are now obsolete. Hydroponic flowers, like other cultivation, also require a certain amount of management.

The fixing methods in the hydroponic technique for peace lily have been introduced in detail here. Compared with soil cultivation, hydroponic management techniques for peace lily are actually simpler to manage and not very technically complex, but throughout the hydroponic process, strengthening scientific management is still very important, and it is the key to whether hydroponics succeeds. Based on the leaning-to-one-side problem that occurs during hydroponic peace lily cultivation, you must now have some understanding of what the fixing methods for hydroponic peace lily are. We hope it can be of some help to flower lovers growing peace lily hydroponically.

Hydroponic Bowl Lotus: How to Plant Bowl Lotus

BowlLotus differs from water lily. Bowl lotus is a plant of the genus Nelumbo, while water lily is a plant of the genus Nymphaea. The way to distinguish them is that water lily floats on the water surface, while bowl lotus emerges from the mud unstained. Also, water lily leaves have a gap, while bowl lotus leaves do not. Let us look at how to plant hydroponic bowl lotus.

How to Plant Bowl Lotus
——————————————————————————————————————————————

▲ Propagation method: Bowl lotus can be propagated by division and by seed. For the division method, around Qingming, select healthy lotus rhizomes, cut every 2-3 nodes into a section, and each section must have a terminal bud and a tail node, then plant in separate pots. For the seed method, damage the seed coat of the bowl lotus seeds, soak them in clean water, change the water every day, and plant once 2-3 leaves have grown. In the early stage, keep the water surface 2cm deep; after upright leaves grow, keep it at 10cm.

▲ Container choice: Bowl lotus is mostly grown hydroponically in refined bowls and pots, such as small colored jars, which look very attractive. Even if using a bowl, it must be a large bowl about 25cm in diameter and more than 20cm deep, because if the container is too small, bowl lotus growth is restricted and it is very hard for it to bloom well.

▲ Soil and fertilizer: In the bowl lotus container, apply base fertilizer at about 1% of the amount of pot soil, then add pond mud until 2/3 of the pot depth. Bowl lotus has little mud and insufficient nutrients, so it needs frequent fertilizing, but fertilizer must be applied lightly and often.

▲ Planting management: Place the seed rhizomes end to end, with the terminal bud facing the center of the container, and plant them into the pot. After planting, add water to 2-3cm, let it dry out, then add water again, repeating two or three times, so that the seed rhizomes and mud are fully compacted and not easily floating. In summer, bowl lotus must be given water every day.

▲ Pest and disease control: Bowl lotus is generally prone to aphids, which can be sprayed with a 3000-fold dilution of fenvalerate.

" Conclusion:The blooming period of bowl lotus is in midsummer, during the off-season for flowers, so it fills the flower gap very well. Keeping a pot of bowl lotus on a desk or shelf has a special charm. In recent years, bowl lotus has sold very well on the market, so fashion lovers should not miss it.
