How to convert hydroponic plants to soil culture

---

The survival rate of hydroponic plants transferred to soil culture is not high, because hydroponic plants still have ventilated tissue on their surface, their roots are relatively tender and have poor gravitropism, while their root caps in the soil are relatively thick and firm. Therefore, it will be more difficult to re-cultivate hydroponic plants in soil. If you want to cultivate it in soil, you can re-cut seedlings or branches.

How to transfer hydroponic plants to soil cultivation

First of all, it is very difficult for hydroponic plants to survive in soil again. Because the root systems of plants grown in hydroponics are very different from those grown in soil. Its epidermis is relatively thin and it has no root hairs. The roots in the soil will be thicker and have root hairs.

Secondly, there will be ventilating tissue on the surface of hydroponic plants. Due to the environment in which water bacon grows, the root crown seldom rubs against the outside world, so the damage is relatively small, the roots will grow softer, and the geotropism is not that good. The root crown in the soil constantly rubs against the soil and other debris, which will cause a lot of damage and the root crown will be thicker and stronger. Therefore, it will be more difficult to re-cultivate hydroponic plants in soil.

Another difficulty is that hydroponic roots have been growing in a humid environment, so they absorb water directly from epidermal cells without too many root hairs. Moreover, the roots do not need to be well anchored in water, and the fixation effect on the soil is not that good.

In general, it is difficult to replant hydroponic plants into soil. They will be very unadaptable to the new environment and may even die. So if you want to cultivate it in soil, you can re-cut seedlings or branches. If you want to give it a try, first do not expose it to the sun after soil cultivation. Secondly, do not use too much additional fertilizer, and you must allow it to sit in water.
