Ice dishes, also known as crystal ice dishes, originated in South Africa. They are more resistant to drought and salt. They can be cultured in water, but they can't be cultured directly in water, and they are easy to die from lack of oxygen. Under the same variety, the same cultivation season and greenhouse environment, hydroponics usually has more growth advantages than soil culture. Hydroponics requires frequent water change and pruning, and nutrient solution should be supplemented every time.

Can iced vegetables be cultivated in water?

Ice dishes, also known as crystal ice dishes, originated in South Africa. More resistant to dry environment and salt. Its growth cycle is about half a year, which is relatively easy to cultivate.

Iced vegetables can be cultivated in water, which has more obvious advantages in promoting growth than soil culture and is better cultivated.

Can frozen vegetables be raised directly in water?

Iced vegetables can't be directly raised in water, too much water leads to poor breathing at the roots, and it is easy to die of hypoxia.

Is it better to cultivate iced vegetables in water or in soil?

Hydroponics is more suitable for ice dishes. In the same variety, the same cultivation season and greenhouse environment, hydroponics usually has more growth advantages.

Hydroponic cultivation method and steps of frozen vegetables

Wash the soil from the roots of frozen vegetables and insert them into water for hydroponics.

1. Before hydroponics, clean the soil on the root system before inserting it into the water.

2. Frozen vegetables need to be hydroponic. It is best to change water every day in the initial stage of hydroponics, and then gradually reduce the number of water changes after they take root.

3. When pruning frozen vegetables, you need to choose healthy and stout branches and cut off old roots. After washing, you can hydroponic.

4. After the growth is stable, add nutrient solution and wait for the water to take root and sprout. Before the water takes root, you can also prune branches and insert water.

Matters needing attention in water conservation of frozen vegetables

It is best to change water every day in the early stage of hydroponics to prevent root rot. Later, the number of water changes can be reduced, and some rotten old roots should be pruned when changing water. And the dark environment is conducive to the growth of water roots. Therefore, it is best to choose opaque bottles for hydroponics and keep them in a cool place for maintenance. After their growth is stable, they need to be supplemented with nutrient solution regularly.
