PALM PLANTING TECHNIQUES WITH HYDRAULIC SYSTEMS IN THE AXIS
TOOLS AND MATERIALS
Mustard seeds
Used drink bottles
Knife / scissors to cut the bottle
Drill or nail pierces the bottle cap
Rockwool
Water
Topsoil
Compost
Hydroponic Nutrition
Axes (can be from the axis of an oil stove, flannelette or twisted cotton)
SOW SEEDS
Before planting in the growing media, the first mustard seeds are sown on rockwool.
Rockwool is an excellent seedling media because it is clean, practical, and absorbs water well.
After the Rockwool is cut, wet with clean water, then place it on a tray.
1-2 planting mustard seeds for one of the rockwools.
Put the seed tray into a dark place or close the tray.
Usually, seeds will grow within 24-48 hours.
Have sprouts / shoots, move to places that have sun, but still shade, for example, on the front porch or near the window.
Spray water in rockwool every morning and evening.
GROWING MEDIA
While waiting for the seeds in the nursery, continue to prepare the planting media.
Cut the bottle into 2 parts, top and bottom.
The part of the lid is hollow with nails or drill, according to the size of the axis.
From this hole, the axis will connect and distribute water.
Therefore, the hole should not be too large so that the axis does not easily deteriorate.
After the hole is finished, insert the axis into the bottle cap.
Fill the top of the bottle with a piece of ground humus
NUTRITION PREPARATION
The bottom of the bottle is filled with water and hydroponic nutrition. The contents are 2/3 of the bottle.
Provide the right hydroponic nutrition.
In addition to mixing with water under the planting medium, hydroponic nutrition can be given by spraying 1-2 times per day.
This hydroponic nutrient can be formulated on its own or can also be purchased at a farm shop
SAW TRANSFER
If the mustard plant is old enough, then it is moved into a bottle container that has been filled with topsoil.
Speculators must be careful, so that the roots do not break.
Humus soil with finger holes 1 cm deep, and then transplant again mustard plants
PALM TREATMENT
What must always be considered is the amount of water, soil pH, contact with light and heat received.
Then it must have a pH meter that can control how much hydroponic nutrition needs to be given.
Don't forget to regularly give him fertilizer.
