How to fertilize hydroponic flowers? How do you fertilize hydroponic flowers?

Many people do not know this, because they often hear others say that hydroponic flowers get most of their nutrients from the "water," so changing the water daily or every other day in the early stage, and then changing it regularly later on, is enough. Actually, that is not the case. If you want hydroponic flowers to grow more vigorously, they also need fertilizer, so how should hydroponic flowers be fertilized? What kind of fertilizer should be used? Today I will explain the fertilization methods for hydroponic flowers.

Looking at ordinary flowers, foliage plants generally rely mainly on nitrogen fertilizer, combined with an appropriate amount of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer; flowering plants rely mainly on phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, with nitrogen fertilizer as a supplement, and the amount of nitrogen fertilizer should be controlled to prevent the plants from growing leggy.

When fertilizing hydroponic flowers, the amount of fertilizer must be strictly controlled, because in hydroponic flowers the fertilizer added will mix into the water and come into contact with the roots of the flowers. If there is too much fertilizer, it can easily harm the flowers, or even kill them.

Different types of flowers have different degrees of preference for fertilizer, so they must never be treated as all the same. Hydroponic flowers should still be fertilized according to the strength of the plant's growth; if you notice that the hydroponic flowers are not adapting or show some adverse reaction due to fertilization, you should stop in time.

Once fertilizer damage occurs, promptly cut off the rotten roots, replace with clean water, and keep them in a shady place for care, changing the water once a day, and check the roots of the flowers and promptly cut off the rotten roots until new roots grow again, then return to normal care.

Do not apply urea directly into the water, because urea is an artificially synthesized inorganic organic fertilizer, and hydroponics is cultivation under sterile or low-bacteria conditions. If urea is applied directly, not only will the flowers be unable to absorb nutrients, but it will also cause some harmful microorganisms or microbes to multiply quickly and pollute the water, and produce ammonia damage to the flowers, causing them to be poisoned.
