Winter care and management methods for hydroponic flowers
For household hydroponic flowers, the foliage and flowering plants used mostly originate from Latin American rainforests, or from tropical high-temperature, high-humidity, shaded ravine areas; they are cold-sensitive flowers, with an optimum growth temperature generally of 18°C to 25°C. Hydroponic cultivation only changes the cultivation method, not its growth habits.
Winter management methods for different bulb flowers
1. Tuberose tubers
2. Dahlia tuberous roots
