Hydroponic planting is a widely used soilless planting technique, among which the column system is the most popular. Using tower system can plant many types of fruits and vegetables, such as lettuce, spinach, strawberries, tomatoes, and other common vegetables. In addition, flowers and herbaceous plants can also be planted. The use of a tower system can not only meet the needs of family consumption, but also allow us to experience the joy of planting.
Pineapple Tower Growing System:A vertical planting system
It is a hydroponic tower planting system with a large number of planting holes, named after its resemblance to pineapple on the outside.Its planting principle is the same as ordinary hydroponic tower planting, which provides essential substances for crop growth and development through water and nutrient solution.Let's take a look at planting strawberries with pineapple tower together.
Step 1: Seedling raising
Before starting, we need to decide whether to start from the seeds or directly purchase strawberry seedlings to avoid the seedling process. Sowing and propagation are common ways of raising strawberry seedlings. At this point, we can use our professional seedling cultivation equipment: hydroponic seedling cultivation system. Place the strawberry seeds in a seedling box for cultivation, and wait until they reach a certain height before hydroponic cultivation of strawberries. When selecting seedlings, it is necessary to select seedlings that are robust and free from pests and diseases, and ensure that there are 2-3 leaves on each seedling, and the excess leaves should be cut off. We also need to check the root system and cut off the dry and rotten roots, so that the success rate of hydroponic cultivation is higher.
Step 2: Transplant
Cover the roots of the selected strawberry seedlings with a sponge, which can help to fix the plants. Then put the packaged strawberry seedlings into the planting basket and they can be transplanted.
Step 3: Prepare nutrient solution
Start mixing nutrient solutions based on the type of crop planting.
Step 4: Fusion
Pour appropriate water into the water tank of the pineapple tower system, pour the prepared nutrient solution into the water tank of the system, and blend it with the water inside to achieve a pH value between 5.8 and 6.2.
Step 5: Connect water and electricity
Turn on the switch and turn on the water and electricity in the system, so that the water pump in the system will start working and flow water to all corners of the system to fully integrate nutrient solution and water.
The pineapple tower planting system is also a very good choice for home planting. The three-dimensional planting equipment does not occupy too much planting area, and is very suitable for urban growers who do not have too much planting space.
