care tips Ctenathe hydroponic plant
How to grow houseplants without substrate - hydroponic growing Ctenathe.
For a plant to grow and flower properly it needs light, oxygen, water, warmth and nutrients. Soil or a substrate does not have to be necessary for (the vast majority of) plants, as the roots can obtain the necessary nutrients from the aqueous solution itself.
Use lukewarm water (tap water should stand for at least 24 hours). Remember that only the roots of the plant should be submerged in the water (without submerging the stem). You should also provide a bright room for the plant. We recommend changing the water every two weeks. To do this, simply throw away the old water, rinse the glass and the roots and pour new water into the glass/container. You can also enrich the water with minerals by buying special liquids for hydroponic plant cultivation.
Cleaning plants in hydroponics mainly involves the careful removal of dead leaves and flowers. Having entered the nutrient solution, they would easily rot in it.
The optimum temperature for Ctenathe is about 20°C.
