1.Choose healthy plants.
Before cultivating Jiuli perfume, the first thing to do is to choose a healthy plant. Choosing a robust, pest-free plant can ensure that it grows well in hydroculture.
2.Prepare hydroponic containers.
Choose a hydroponic container that fits the size of the bougainvillea, making sure the container has enough space for the plants, while also paying attention to the breathability of the container. Transparent glass containers can be used to easily observe the growth of the plants.
3.Wash the roots.
Remove the selected bougainvillea plants from the soil and gently wash the roots. Be careful not to damage the root system and keep the root intact.
4.Tidy up the foliage.
Before putting the bougainvillea into the hydroponic container, the branches and leaves should be properly arranged. Prune off overly dense foliage to keep the plant well ventilated and light-seeking. At the same time, care should also be taken not to damage the branches and leaves, so as not to affect the appearance and growth.
5.Place in a hydroponic container.
Place the cleaned bougainvillea plants in a hydroponic container and add the appropriate amount of water. Be careful not to get too high and not to submerge the root system of the plant. At the same time, make sure that the water in the container is kept clean and replaced with new water regularly.
6.Lighting management.
Bougainvillea needs plenty of sunlight and should also be managed in the hydroponic process. Place the hydroponic container in a well-lit area to ensure that the bougainvillea can receive enough sunlight. However, it is also necessary to avoid direct sunlight to avoid causing damage to the plants.
7.Temperature control.
Bougainvillea prefers a warm environment and should also pay attention to temperature control during the hydroponic process. Maintain a suitable temperature range to avoid damage to plants caused by too high or too low temperatures.
8.Fertilization management.
Although hydroponic bougainvillea does not require soil to provide nutrients, it can be fertilized appropriately to promote the growth and flowering of the plant. You can choose water-soluble fertilizer, dilute it with water according to the ratio on the instructions, and add it to the hydroponic container dropwise at regular intervals. But be careful not to over-fertilize the plants so as not to cause harm to the plants.
9.Pest and disease control.
During the hydroponic process, the bougainvillea is sometimes attacked by pests and diseases. In order to prevent and improve pests and diseases, you can regularly check the growth of plants, find and deal with problems in time. If symptoms of pests and diseases are found, appropriate control measures can be taken, such as spraying pesticides or replacing new water sources.
10. Replace the water with new water regularly.
During the hydroponic process, new water should be replaced regularly to keep the water clean and the appropriate pH. The frequency of replacing new water can be determined according to the season and actual situation, and it is generally sufficient to replace it once a week. When replacing with new water, pay attention to cleaning the container and checking the growth of the plants.
In short, Jiulixiang lazy water cultivation is a simple and easy way to maintain. As long as the above methods are maintained, the bougainvillea can grow healthily and vigorously in the water environment and bloom into beautiful flowers.
