Plants in water will, at one point, need some fertilizer. They need more than water to be healthy : nitrogen, potassium... But this does not need to be chemical : for instance, potassium can be found in banana peel ! A few tips : use the water you used to boil your eggs for exemple (the minerals contain in egg shelves will be "released" in the water), but obviously, wait for the water to reach room temperature). you can also macerate banana peels in water and use this water, or better : combine both : macerate banana peels in egg water ! During growing season, you can to this up to once a week , but once a month should be enough. Just don't use this macerate pure, it will be too much for the plant, adapt it according to the concentration but about 1/10 to 1/6 of the total water should be enough. Sorry if this is unclear, i'm french and my english shall not be perfect..!

Changing the water more often would help your plants fluorish for sure! However, I would switch your transparent glass bottles for dark brown or dark green glass (you can use a wine bottle-- really cool with thyme, because it will hang over and grow beautiful flowers). Using green bottles will help you avoid future algal blooms as well--especially if you need to add nitrogen!!

@seforachriss3111

just wondering (for personal reference haha), why would darker bottles be more helpful? thanks for the tip btw!! :)

@joikun5706

3 жыл бұрын

@@seforachriss3111 Oh Sorry! Switching to darker bottles (preferably green or solid (non-transparent)) will prevent or rather slow algal growth. If you don't switch your water frequently enough, or if you plan to grow something that needs nutrients (like extra nitrogen) OR if your plants are getting sun pretty much all day, your plants' roots-- and possibly the entire bottle/jar-- will be covered with algae. Algal spores are everywhere in the air and in water (depending where you live), and they are a HUGE pain to get rid of once you get them! Using non-transparent bottles prevents the algae from growing, (best) while green bottles prevent photosynthesis (cannot absorb green light), so they will never get to fluorish (although some algal strains are heartier than others and will still grow albeit VERY slowly under green/blue/brown light due to the presence of carotenoids which can absorb light in these spectrums). Great question!!

@@seforachriss3111 If you do get algae, you can use a little chlroine to kill it off, but be careful! Too much chlorine will definitely kill your plants (soil normally acts as a buffer for plant roots). Some aquatic plants are strong against chlorine, however, it's easier to just avoid getting algae in the first place.

A little fertilizer tip: I also use a dry food for dogs. Not a cheap brand. Smallest size. It's packed with nutrition, contains minimum of chemicals, and it's little. I drop a couple to the water or insert to the soil (one for tiny containers, more for bigger containers). Twice a month and my plants are having a good time. And my OCD dog didn't even notice that some of her granules are gone.

Plants don't need "food". They're autotrophs - they make their own food from sunlight, CO2, water, and minerals. The leaves are responsible for dealing with the sunlight and the CO2. This means the roots are responsible for the water and minerals. So instead of giving them dog food (which contains hydrocarbons that will feed bacteria), it seems safer to give them the minerals that they need. Additionally, plant roots need oxygen (which they don't always get when submerged in water). Hydroponic growers always have to make sure there's enough oxygen available to the roots.

@MyNewEra2012

@@causasui8185 Purely technically speaking, you're right. But if you want to have big-ass veggies in your backyard or on your balcony you must, MUST give them a bit of extra care. Please bear on your mind that humans domesticated plants by looking after them a bit better than the magnificent Nature herself. I have plants in pots on my humble balcony and can tell the difference between my gardening before and after I started to use self-made compost that contains among other things a bit of granules for dogs - incomparable. I repot them once I see that the nutrition from the soil is all used up. Mixing some granules with water once in a while also helps.
