Nowadays many people and run against some of the plants that have its characteristics and also has a species of flowers and leaves that are unique and exciting.
For some people living a city a dense population, it 's hard to find land that is quite extensive and fertile ground for expression and developed his hobby.
One invention that can be: "Hydro Gel" can answer this challenge.
Specifically for plants (indoor), the hydro gel is arguably a new alternative for lovers of plants with land limited. Money that should be from plant lovers bag-not too much different from when we use media land.
We know hydroponics use only stones which can store water or crop irrigation system that is set up in such a way. But now, you can grow a hydroponic manner that uses media hydrogel.
Hydrogel polymer is good, namely:
-synthetic (e.g. Polyacrylamide and Polyvinyl alcohol),
-natural (e.g., alginate and Gelatin), or
-The biology (e.g., Collagen and Amnion) reply contains/can absorb water.
Can Biodegradable Hydrogel, could not. Because these qualities are very useful for Hydrogel absorbant/water reservoir, immobilisation and release of specific substances (e.g. drugs, fertilizers, perfumes, and vitamins) and have prospects for tissue engineering. In some places, a mixture of hydrogel and the ground to slow drought water on crops or for the purpose of fostering arrangements already developed.
Hydrogel we discussed now is a result of the developments in the fields of plantations which purportedly capable of storing 400 times the weight of the water. Due to the nature of this is the hydrogel capable of replacing the medium soil, rock, or water, though. Also, the planting look more beautiful by using hydrogel has easier treatments. If the plants can adapt well, we just simply menyemprotnya of one to two months just once. Also, the hydrogel is also used for arranging cut flowers fresh longer to survive.
Treatment Of Hydrogel
1. when it has been about a month seen hydrogel shrink, hydrogel in water using a hand sprayer. The water given do not too much up may cause the inundation on the glasses which would result in corruption at the root,
2. Or, for the addition of a more perfect water, separate Your hydrogel from the plant, and then soak it in the warm water for approximately 30 minutes, until fluffy again. While plants soaked in clean water in a separate place. When Your hydrogel consisting of a mixture of more than one color, separate them into a container of a different marinade. Then, drain the hydrogel and ready to be placed back into the glass,
3. the Hydrogel never too often held or soaked in water, just one time within 1 to 2 months only, in order not to damage the flower power shrink hydrogel. Unless Your Hydrogel mossy, then you can do the step no. 4 without having to wait one month,
4. If the glass and hydrogel mossy look and smell, immediately remove Your hydrogel and rinse with warm water until the Lumina is lost, then the hydrogel can be reused,
5. Fertilization can be given 3 to 6 months or if the plant nutrient deficiencies look when in sunlight. Fertilizing is done by spraying fertilizer leaves using a handsprayer. Fertilizer that can be used such as Gardasil, hype ex, forest, and the like, with an appropriate dose of the label on the packaging. Can be found in stores for agriculture,
6. So that the plants stay fresh, preferably placed in a room with a cool temperature (not stuffy).
Removal Of Plants
1. Siramlah first potted plant so easily repealed,
2. Lift up the plant from the pot carefully so as not many roots are broken,
3. Soak the plants in water for CA. 1 hour so that the soil is easy to clean from the root,
4. Wash all parts of the plant with clean water until the entire leaf, stem, and perakarannya clean. Rooting too long can be cut,
5. save the plants in a container of water overnight so that it can adapt, crops.
6. once adopted, putting away the damaged roots, broken, or rot. The plant then washed again,
7. Plants must be completely clean off the ground because the ground can make damaged hydrogel hydrogel and making easy the overgrown Moss,
8. Plants ready to put in the media of hydrogel. First of all insert the hydrogel part, roughly a quarter of the volume of the glass), then enter the plant, and then enter the rest until all the roots of hydrogel enclosed.
Some of the main causes of the failure of the plant with the hydrogel, which resulted in crop withering/died:
1. less cool, Room (stuffy/hot & too humid). There is no reflection of the rays. Terhambatnya air flow,
2. Pentosan hydrogel in less than 30 minutes, causing puddles of excess that makes root so rotten,
3. The roots were too much cut. Should root adapted to the conditions of the vase, not too dense.
The plants are to be planted in a hydrogel must have the following characteristics: resistant puddle (excess moisture), resistant to high humidity, indoor plants (which can live with reflected light or indirect light), as well as generally not Woody and not flowering. If you've got fun planting in this way you will certainly keep trying with different types of other plants.
Flowering takes a great light, while the light that will make hydrogel mossy. Plants like cacti, Rose, Orchid, jasmine, ylang-ylang, Banyan, Palm, cannot be grown in the hydrogel. Plants such as lilies, water hyacinth, and similar, is also not suitable planted with hydrogel because it requires a very high water supply and need direct sunlight.
The types of crops that can be planted up to this point in a hydrogel are Aglaonema sp, Anthurium SP. (various types of elephant ear), Diffenbachia sp, Philodendron sp, Dracaena sp (Chinese bamboo, Japanese bamboo), Scindapsus sp (betel), Spathiphyllum, Syngonium sp-sp, Cyperus sp (grass), Cordyline sp (various types of Cordyline), (Philodendron leafy side), ornamental grasses (green with a white stripe on the side of the leaf and tuber conditioned) Fortune, sansevieria, bamboo, ornamental betel, as well as plants vegetables such as lettuce and Cress, crisis.
