  Hydroponics uses modern bioengineering technology, applying physical, chemical, and bioengineering means to domesticate ordinary plants and flowers. Because it is convenient to carry and care for, cheap, clean, and the flowers and leaves grow healthily, it can achieve the scene of enjoying fish and flowers together. Hydroponics is still in its infancy in our country. Because it is widely loved by people.

  Many people think that the care of hydroponic plants is too simple, believing that buying special hydroponic nutrient solution from the market and preparing the appropriate concentration according to the instructions is enough. In fact, home-grown hydroponic flowers also have special requirements for oxygen. The nutrient solution of home-grown hydroponic flowers is in a static state with low dissolved oxygen, which is not conducive to flower growth. The following measures need to be taken to increase oxygen dissolution.

  Vibration aeration. Fix the flower plant with one hand, and gently shake the container with the other hand more than 10 times. After shaking, the dissolved oxygen content of the nutrient solution can increase by about 30%.

  Increase the frequency of water changes. Changing water means replacing the water in the bottle to which nutrient solution has been added. Under normal circumstances, change the water once every 5 to 10 days in spring and autumn, once every about 5 days in summer, and once every 10 to 15 days in winter. Home-grown hydroponic flowers should use soft water. If using tap water, it should first be left at room temperature for two hours to half a day, until the water temperature is close to room temperature and the oxygen in the water has volatilized completely, then add the nutrient solution in proportion, and in this way you can grow hydroponic plants.

  In addition, an appropriate amount of "solid oxygen" can also be added to the nutrient solution, or 1% hydrogen peroxide (3% hydrogen peroxide solution) can be added. Flower enthusiasts who have the conditions can also use a micro submersible pump or an oxygen pump to aerate the nutrient solution. In such an environment, plant roots can obtain sufficient oxygen, prompting the flowers to grow robustly.

  Hydroponic potted plants are both convenient and clean, so they are deeply loved by flower enthusiasts. But to grow hydroponic plants well, the key point is to solve the problem of plant nutrition, so today the editor will solve this problem for everyone and introduce how to make nutrient solution at home.

  How do you make hydroponic nutrient solution at home? The following are the specific methods:

  1. First, bring your basin; other basins or pots will also do, or a leak-proof handbag.

  2. Find a place where you can dig soil. You can go to some places such as woods where there is a lot of decaying leaf litter, because after fallen leaves decay they accumulate a lot of nutrients!

  3. With the shovel in your hand, dig up the soil about 10 cm thick on the ground and put it into your basin. The more the better. (Only the surface soil is needed. In the words of the farmer uncles, this is mature soil. The soil in the lower layers is raw soil, and raw soil has no nutrients.)

  4. Take the soil home, pour the soil into a basin (any watertight container will do), put it under the faucet, fill it with water, find a wooden stick and stir it, and after stirring evenly let it stand.

  5. After about 30 minutes, the water will be a bit turbid, but the nutrients are at their best. If you dislike the turbidity, just leave it alone and do not touch it.

  6. When the water becomes clear, you can pour out the supernatant liquid from the basin for hydroponics. This is exactly what we want —— nutrient solution.
