Pothos has a well-developed root system, so it can be grown in soil or water. And because it can purify the air, it has become an essential indoor plant. However, it is still quite expensive to buy it from the market. In fact, we are completely You can buy it once and then rely on our own hands to propagate pothos. I have introduced the method of growing pothos in soil before. Today we will mainly talk about how to grow pothos in water and how to cultivate pothos in water.
Hydroponics cultivation method of green radish
Step 1: First of all, choose the branches and stems of pothos. Healthy and strong branches with aerial roots are good hydroponics objects. In this way, the branches with aerial roots can be cut and placed in clean water for easy growth. Quickly adapt to the hydroponic environment, and water roots will grow in about ten days. Note that the branches and stems placed in the water cannot have leaves, otherwise the leaves will easily affect the water quality when soaked in the water. In addition, you can also choose potted plants with better plant types, wash the soil on the root system, cut off the excess old roots, and put them into clean water, which will also make them easy to survive.
Step 2: Pay attention to changing the water in the first few days of hydroponics. Change the water to the same room temperature every two or three days. After the water grows and takes root, change the water once a week. After new leaves grow, you can add nutrient solution every ten days or so, or spray some diluted nutrient solution water on the leaves to make the leaves green and shiny.
Step 3: The root system of hydroponic pothos should be cleaned and repaired frequently. If the root system is too long, it should be shortened in time to avoid nutrient loss. If the root system becomes rotten and sticky, it should be cleaned in time, the rotten roots should be cut off, soaked and disinfected with potassium permanganate solution, and then restored to maintenance. The first few days of recovery and maintenance should be the same as the initial period of hydroponics, changing the water every two or three days, and then changing the water every ten days after full growth is restored.
Precautions for growing pothos in hydroponics
1. Hydroponic pothos needs sufficient scattered light to make its leaves stretch and turn green. It is usually best to place them in a place with sufficient scattered light.
2. Pothos itself likes a warm and humid environment. In dry seasons, water should be sprayed on the leaves frequently to increase the environmental humidity and also clean the leaves. In winter, the place where it is placed should be away from the heating, and pay attention to prevent frost damage. Hydroponic leaves are delicate and very sensitive to temperature changes, so be careful to keep the room temperature as normal as possible and avoid large temperature changes.
3. Like potted pothos, hydroponic pothos also needs regular pruning to cut off overlong and disordered branches and stems to maintain a dense and orderly appearance.
4. Water for hydroponics is a very critical part. You can use tap water, well water, clean river water, etc., but the water should be left for a day or two before use.
