Method for rooting fuchsia in hydroponics

1. Choose the cuttings

First, select some sturdy branches, preferably with tender branches on them, then cut off all the leaves on the lower half, leaving only the top leaves, and leave 2 to 3 buds on the branches, then cut them off, the best length is about 10 cm.

2. Hydroponic Container

If you want to hydroponically grow more plants, you need to use a square glass container, then put a piece of foam inside and poke a few small holes on it. The size of the holes should be slightly larger than the cuttings. Insert the branches into the foam until they touch the water surface. Be careful not to damage the cut ends of the branches.

3. Water volume

After the cuttings and containers are prepared, add water into them. Not too much water, just enough to cover one-third of the cuttings, but the water must be clean. In addition, you need to cover its roots so that it can grow roots quickly.

4. Change water

If you don’t change the water for a long time, it will affect its growth. So you need to change the water about once a week. If it is in a high temperature environment, the number of times needs to be increased. In addition, before changing the water, you should expose the water to the sun for a while, and then change the water when the water temperature is similar to the indoor temperature.

5. Nutrient solution

Plants grown in water are different from those grown in soil. They cannot absorb enough nutrients, so in order to make them develop better, you can add some nutrient solution into it.

6. Lighting and ventilation

Light is very important for its growth, so when growing it hydroponically, you can place it in a bright place such as a balcony or windowsill, and also ensure excellent ventilation.
