Why does hydroponic spider plant only grow roots but not leaves? How to make your own nutrient solution

1. The reason why only roots grow but no leaves

When spider plants are grown in water, their roots grow faster, which is a normal phenomenon. Because only when the root system is well developed can the leaves develop. In addition, its roots will grow rapidly by soaking in water to absorb nutrients, and then they will consume a lot of nutrients, so that the leaves will not be able to grow. If you find this situation, you should trim the roots and add nutrient solution to the water regularly so that the leaves can grow.

2. How to make your own nutrient solution

1. Boy’s urine: If there are children at home, you can collect an appropriate amount of urine and leave it for four days. Then dilute it with four times the amount of clean water. After processing, add a small amount to the vase of spider plants, which can effectively promote leaf growth.

2. Rice water: Collect rice water in a clean container, then expose it to the sun for about half a month, add 20 times the amount of clean water, stir, and then drop it into the vase. It can also be used as a nutrient solution.

3. Compound fertilizer: Compound fertilizer is also called flower fertilizer. Simply put the flower fertilizer in water and stir it. After it dissolves, it can be used as a nutrient solution.
