Can Dieffenbachia be hydroponically cultivated?

Variegated Dieffenbachia can be grown in hydroponics, but hydroponics requires very high water quality, and the nutrient supply in hydroponics is not sufficient, which is not conducive to the growth of Variegated Dieffenbachia. Therefore, most people still choose soil cultivation. The nutrients in the soil are much more than those in the water, and the nutrients are more complete, which is more conducive to the growth and development of Variegated Dieffenbachia.

Method for hydroponic cultivation of Dieffenbachia

1. Seedling selection: Before hydroponics, you should choose a healthy plant with lush roots and good growth, which is conducive to the survival efficiency of hydroponics.

2. Pruning: After selecting the seedlings, the variegated dieffenbachia should be properly pruned, the old roots, rotten roots and excess roots at the bottom should be trimmed, and then soaked in potassium permanganate solution for sterilization and disinfection before hydroponics.

3. Container: To grow Dieffenbachia in water, you need to choose a suitable container. It is best to prepare a glass container. The glass container makes it easier to observe whether the roots and stems of the Dieffenbachia are rotten or damaged, and it is also more conducive to viewing.

Precautions for hydroponic Dieffenbachia

1. Light: The variegated dieffenbachia can be placed in a well-lit place and kept exposed to light, but avoid direct strong light.

2. Change water: During the hydroponic culture of Dieffenbachia, it is necessary to change the water regularly to keep the water clean and hygienic. If it grows in turbid water, the roots of the Dieffenbachia will rot and affect its normal growth.
