Mountain palms are ideal for hydroponic cultivation. Since the plant needs a lot of water and can die if the bulbs are dry, care directly in the water is ideal. This way you can't forget to water the palm tree. The humidity is also sufficiently high.

A mountain palm should be bought hydroponically right away; otherwise she can hardly be educated to do so

That is why the mountain palm is well suited for hydroponics

Unlike many other palm species, mountain palms require a lot of water. They appreciate it when the root ball is always sufficiently moist. They don't even mind longer periods of waterlogging.

The nutrient supply can be ensured very well with hydroponics.

Also, because the water in the planter evaporates, you don't need to spray water on a hydroponic mountain palm. A sufficiently high level of humidity is guaranteed by the evaporating water.

Grow mountain palm hydroponically from the start

If you want to grow a mountain palm hydroponically, you should buy the plant that way. If the palms were initially cared for in normal palm substrate, it is difficult to transfer them to the water container.

The delicate roots break very easily and the mountain palm dies after a short time.

The right location for the hydroponic vessel

Get a good seat from the start. The location must be very bright, but should not be exposed to direct sunlight. If kept behind a glass window, you will need to provide additional shade to keep the mountain palm's leaves from turning brown.

The planter can be very heavy due to the water. To be on the safe side, put it on wheels so that you can move it later.

How to care for mountain palms in hydroponics

  • Choose a stable vessel
  • Don't forget the water level indicator
  • Fill the jar with expanded clay (19.73€).
  • Check the water level regularly
  • Fertilize mountain palm regularly

Make sure you have a sturdy container that can withstand the weight of the water, clay pebbles, and plant.

Check the water level regularly and refill water in time. Don't forget to fertilize the mountain palm regularly.

tips

The planter of a mountain palm should not be too big. The larger it is, the faster the mountain palm will overgrow and have to be repotted. It quickly becomes a space problem.
