Especially easy to clean - sheet hemp in hydroponic culture
Classically, room and other potted plants are planted in soil, which is different in composition depending on the plant species. Some plants prefer humus-rich soil, others prefer nutrient-poor and sandy. However, the horticulturist must always care for his plants carefully, ensuring the right amount of water and nutrients. If you like to forget this or travel frequently, you can rely on a simpler hydroponic culture. Even moisture-sensitive plants such as the bow hemp can be maintained in such.
What is hydroponics and how does it work?
Earth is not essential for the healthy growth of plants - much more important are light, air, water and nutrients. Earth, on the other hand, only needs the plant to keep its roots in it. However, this function can be fulfilled equally well with inorganic materials such as expanded clay spheres. This substrate serves the plant as a foundation, in some forms of hydroponics but also as a water reservoir. The regular form of hydroponics, however, provides this system:
Which substrate is suitable for sheet hemp?
Make sure that the substrate is as fine-grained as possible. Since bow hemp has very fine roots, these find in large balls not a good stop.

If you want to change your hemp hemp to hydroponics, it is best to plant the plant in spring.
Tips
Hydroponics plants are repotted only if the pot has become too small. Instead, replace the first one to two centimeters of the substrate every year and wash it out under running and clear water.
