Houseplants that grow in water

planting plants by hydroponics or water cultivation

In today's life, which is full of digital and electronic devices, it has become very important to have an apartment plant that is comfortable and beautiful, and most importantly, does not spoil quickly and does not have to worry about watering.

What is hydroponic (cultivation and growth of plants in water)

Hydroponics is a method in which plants are grown in water without the use of soil. In this type of cultivation, the nutritional needs of plants are identified and by adding them to water, they grow the plant in it. Of course, we should also know this important point that not every plant can be kept in water, and there are only a few plants that have this ability, and the water in which we keep the plant must have certain characteristics.

How much do we need in the hydroponics method?

Just like keeping a plant in a pot, to grow a plant in water, we must provide appropriate and sufficient light for the plant. Light is the most important factor for plant photosynthesis, and without receiving enough light, the plant will not continue to grow and may even die (the same as plant sleep and lethargy of leaves). Just like the plants we grow in pots, hydroponic plants also need different amounts of light. Therefore, it is better to have information about each individual plant to know the amount of light it needs.

Selection of the right container

In general, any container that prevents water from passing through itself can be used, for example, many of us first go for glasses or glass containers to see the growth of the plant from the outside and enjoy it, and we think that Good light also goes to the plant in this way. Let's not ignore the fact that when glass containers are exposed to sunlight, they can become a factor for water rocketing and the production of fungi and bacteria in the container. If you insist on using these containers, be sure to put some charcoal on the bottom of the container so that algae does not form.
