Which plants are easier to grow in water than in soil? Recommended flowers suitable for hydroponics

I used to think growing flowers was a technical skill, with repotting and fertilizing, and one slip-up would kill the plant. That was until I discovered hydroponics, this magical way of growing flowers, which simply opened a door to a new world! Today I will recommend a wave of amazing flowers that are much easier to grow in water than in soil, and even complete beginners can easily handle them!

Lucky bamboo:When it comes to the world of hydroponic plants, lucky bamboo definitely deserves a place! The stems you buy can survive just by being placed in water, with no need to worry about soil mixing or watering. Remember the "three no-change" principle: if the water does not stink, do not change it; if the roots have not filled the container, do not change it; if the leaves are not turning yellow, do not change it. Occasionally dropping a rusty iron nail into the water can also supplement iron and prevent yellow leaves. It symbolizes "blooming wealth and honor," and placing it in the living room instantly maxes out the aesthetic appeal!

Peace lily:Many people grow peace lilies that never bloom, so try hydroponics! Rinse the roots of a soil-grown peace lily clean, place it in a hydroponic vase, and do not let the water level cover more than 2/3 of the roots. Add a few drops of nutrient solution regularly, place it by a windowsill, and it can bloom from summer to autumn! Hydroponic peace lilies are also less prone to spider mites, making them a real blessing for lazy growers.

Pennywort:For pennywort, just pinch off a stem and toss it into a water basin, give it plenty of light, and in 3 days it will grow round leaves. Keep the water level 5 cm above the rhizome, add a few drops of nutrient solution every week, and it can fill the pot in a month. If the leaves grow small, move it to the sunniest spot, and the leaves will surely grow bigger than coins!

Hyacinth:Hydroponic hyacinths are much cleaner than soil-grown ones! Buy a special hydroponic vase, place the bulb at the mouth of the vase, do not let the bulb roots touch the water, and wait for it to grow large white roots on its own. Keep it in a cool place until it sprouts, then move it to a windowsill to bask in the sun, and by the New Year you can harvest beautiful clusters of flowers. After blooming, the bulb can continue to be grown hydroponically.

Bowl lotus:Who says lotuses can only be grown in ponds? Get to know hydroponic bowl lotus! File a notch in the dented part of the seed, soak it in water to sprout, and once floating leaves appear, transplant it into a water basin. Keep the water level at about 15 cm, give it 8 hours of sun every day, and in summer you can see the "mini lotus." Remember to regularly remove dead leaves, otherwise the water quality easily becomes foul.

Anthurium:Anthuriums grown in soil are prone to root rot, but hydroponics is actually easier! Remove the anthurium from the soil and wash it clean, fix it in a hydroponic vase with clay pebbles, and keep the water level at 1/2 of the roots. Place it in indoor indirect light, change the water once every half month, and its red spathes can keep blooming for half a year! If the leaves are not red, add two drops of white vinegar to the water, and the color will immediately brighten.

Mint:Want fresh mint but afraid you cannot grow it well? Hydroponic mint is perfect for kitchen lovers! Cut a few healthy stems, soak them in a glass, and in 3 days they will root. Place them by a windowsill and mist them morning and evening, and the leaves will grow tender and green. Snip a few leaves for cooking or tea whenever you like, and they are fresher than what you buy at the supermarket!

The core of hydroponic plants is the philosophy of laziness: less fussing, less fertilizing, less repotting! As long as you remember these three points - "change the water regularly, do not expose them to too much sun, and promptly remove rotten roots" - even a beginner at growing flowers can easily have a small garden! Try it now and fill your home with vitality!
