Soilless culture of flowers
In recent years, soilless culture has become a new way for flower planting. Now we will introduce to you in detail the method and advantages of soilless culture of flowers.
"Soilless culture is hydroponics", which is a misconception of soilless culture. Hydroponics is a kind of soilless culture, which uses water as the substrate instead of other ones.
Soilless culture is generally divided into two categories: first, soilless culture; Second, substrate culture.
Substrate free culture can be divided into two types: hydroponics and spray culture. Substrate culture can also be divided into two: inorganic media and organic media culture.
Inorganic substrate culture has four types: granular substrate, including sand culture, gravel culture and ceramism culture; Foam substrate (polyethylene and other foam plastics); Fiber substrate: rock wool, mineral wool; Other matrices: perlite and vermiculite.
Organic substrates include peat, sawdust, rice husk and bark.
Compared with traditional soilless culture, hydroponics has the following advantages:
(1) Simple management, saving time and effort. Because the management and maintenance of hydroponic flowers are very simple, change water and add nutrient once every 3 or 4 weeks, and do not spray water at ordinary times. Even if the water evaporation is large in summer, just add 1 or 2 times a month, which is suitable for the tense rhythm of modern people's life.
(2) More lightweight. You can pour out most of the water when moving.
(3) In air-conditioned rooms, hydroponic flowers will continue to grow for a long time. Sometimes, they will produce new roots and leaves. They grow well and are easier to grow than substrate cultivation, which solves the problem of frequent flower changes in air-conditioned rooms.
(4) High ornamental value. The hydroponic flowers grow luxuriantly, their leaves are thick, tall and beautiful, and their flowers are large and colorful. The growers can not only appreciate the leaves and flowers, but also the roots, which improving the ornamental value of the hydroponic flowers.
