Can succulent Buddha beads be hydroponically cultivated?

Succulent Buddha beads can be grown in water, but generally soil cultivation is more suitable for its growth. The effect achieved by the nutrient solution of hydroponics is not as good as that achieved in the soil. Hydroponics succulent Buddha beads will not automatically store water when they are in water for a long time. The leaves of hydroponics succulents will be smaller than those grown in soil, and their ornamental value will be worse, so it is better to choose soil cultivation.

Methods and key points of hydroponic cultivation of succulent Buddha beads

1. Container: First, choose a suitable glass container or mineral water bottle. The mineral water bottle needs to have some cuts on all sides to allow the roots of the succulent to be inserted.

2. Change the water: Put the succulent beads into a container with an appropriate amount of clean water so that the succulents are in contact with the water surface. The water needs to be changed every three days in summer and once a week in winter. Pay attention to keeping the water clean.

Precautions for growing succulent Buddha beads in water

1. Pruning: Because hydroponics can only provide limited nutrients to the succulent Buddha beads, it is necessary to promptly cut off the excess and long branches to reduce nutrient loss and allow the succulent Buddha beads to grow more vigorously.

2. Light: Hydroponic succulent Buddha beads prefer a semi-shaded environment. Too strong light will cause sunburn of the leaves, and too weak light will affect its growth rate. When caring for succulent Buddha beads, it is best to place them in an environment with sufficient scattered sunlight.
