How to grow irises hydroponically? What to do if the roots rot during hydroponics?

1. Hydroponic method

1. Select the plant: In addition to soil cultivation, irises can also be cultivated in water, which is also one of the methods of maintenance and cultivation. Before hydroponics, you must choose suitable plants. It is best to choose vigorous plants in the growth period with fully developed root systems. The survival rate of such plants will be higher.

2. Plant processing: The plants must be processed before hydroponics to remove the soil attached to the roots and wash them in clean water. Remove dead leaves, trim rotten and old roots appropriately, prepare potassium permanganate solution, soak the roots of the plant in it for disinfection, and take them out after about 10 minutes. After disinfection, place it aside to dry slightly.

3. Prepare containers: After processing the plants, you can prepare suitable containers. It is better to choose transparent glass containers, put the plants in, and add appropriate amount of water for hydroponics.

4. Later maintenance: After placing it in the container for hydroponics, pay attention to maintenance and management in the later stage. Place it in a diffuse light environment, expose it to soft light appropriately, change the water regularly to keep it clean, and add nutrient solution.

2. What to do if the roots in hydroponics rot

Care must be taken during the hydroponic culture of irises to prevent root rot. If root rot occurs accidentally, the plant must be removed, the rotten roots must be trimmed, and then disinfected and sterilized before replanting and care.
