How to care for Hydrograins in small packaging

Watering with Hydrograins in small packaging

Hydro grains in small packages store water and release it gradually to the roots. This prevents root rot and dehydration. During dry periods, top up the bottom layer and mist lightly with a plant sprayer.

Light for Hydrograins in small packaging

Hydroponic grains themselves don't require light, but the plant in the pot does. Place your pot with hydroponic grains and plant in a spot with plenty of indirect sunlight. This way, you'll maximize their moisture-regulating properties without overheating the grains.

Nutrition and potting soil

Combine hydroponic grains with high-quality potting soil from our potting soil and accessories collection: https://deplantrekkers.com/collections/potgrond-en-toebehoren . This way, your plant will get all the nutrients it needs.

Common problems with Hydrograins in small packaging

Yellow leaves

Yellow leaves can indicate either too much or too little water. Check whether the hydroponic clays are saturated or dry. Adjust your watering schedule and, if necessary, use a hygrometer to measure humidity.

Plant drips

If water drips from the bottom of the pot, the layer of hydroponic pebbles may be too full or the potting soil may be too permeable. Reduce the amount of pebbles and add a layer of potting soil.

Pests

Fungus gnats like to nest in moist hydroponic clays. Use sticky traps against fungus gnats: https://deplantrekkers.com/products/sticky-traps-tegen-rouwvliegjes . Reduce watering and let the top layer of clay dry.

Roots emerge from the bottom of the pot

When the roots reach the layer of clay pebbles, your plant is ready for a larger pot. Repot in a pot 2–3 cm larger in diameter and refill with clay pebbles.

Brown edges on leaves

Brown edges are caused by dry air or too much direct sunlight. Place your plant in a location with indirect light and increase the humidity. A jungle mist spray can help: https://deplantrekkers.com/products/jungle-mist-spray?_pos=1&_psq=jun&_ss=e&_v=1.0 .
