Hua Hua's friend hydroponics several pothoss. They are in good condition recently. When I went to play on weekends, I came in and saw that there were several active insects in the water! Everyone's hydroponics and green plants have insects. Let's have a look!

Why does hydroponics produce insects?

The water source is the high incidence area of mosquito oviposition, especially the static water surface.

Hydroponic plants belong to a relatively closed water source, coupled with the nutrition produced by plant roots, it is easier to provoke mosquitoes

The picture shows the larvae that do not change water in time.

The following picture shows the larvae produced in the hydroponic environment with many roots.

With the increase of temperature and the activity of mosquitoes, how can we keep the fresh environment of hydroponics and green plants?

Change water frequently to avoid insects.

It takes 2-3 days for eggs to hatch, so we need to change water every 2-3 days to prevent eggs from growing or hatching.

There is no water change in time in the figure below, and larva appears.

When changing water, pay attention to the root cleaning of plants, and remove the sticky attachments.

If there are too many roots in the plant, and there are rotten parts, they will be lost in time to avoid the growth of rotten parts.

Put it back into a clean container (the container can be sterilized by soaking in boiling water or with carbendazim)

Note: you can also use liangbaikai as a new water source.

Fish in the water, kill the insects

Some water culture that is not easy to change, can raise some small fish in the water, small fish will use larva as bait, help you eliminate it!

The picture shows fish and flowers together. Is it better for small fish to swim around?

The picture shows the ornamental tank with plants and goldfish.

Vitamin B2 insecticidal

Mosquitoes hate the taste of B2 vitamins. Putting a few B2 vitamins in the water can "smoke" mosquitoes without harming plants.

Keep ventilation and avoid insects.

Putting hydroponic plants in a ventilated place is not only beneficial to the growth of plants, but also can prevent mosquitoes from laying eggs in the water.

Note that hydroponic plants generally do not need more sun, can be placed in the shade of the balcony ventilation and ventilation

life history

Or in the closed windowsill for a while

life history

More clean, no insects

In order to keep clean and sanitary, usually wipe the leaves with a wet cloth, remove the dead leaves, and keep the whole green plant clean.

Clean more.
