Auspicious grass, also known as "evergreen grass," is a plant with an auspicious meaning and vigorous vitality. Placing auspicious grass in homes and offices can not only beautify the environment but also bring good luck to our lives. It is not an easy task to cultivate auspicious grass in water, which requires mastering certain care techniques. This article will introduce the methods for cultivating auspicious grass in water to help you easily care for this potted plant.

Choosing an appropriate container

The container for cultivating auspicious grass in water should be a transparent glass or plastic bottle with holes at the bottom. The size of the container should be determined based on the plant's shape, generally with the height of the container being twice that of the plant.

Selecting fresh water source

The water source for cultivating auspicious grass in water should be fresh and clean tap water or purified water. If it is tap water, it is best to let it sit for a period to allow the chlorine to evaporate, preventing harm to the plant.

Pay attention to water quality

The water quality for cultivating auspicious grass in water should be kept clean to prevent deterioration. Change the water every 7-10 days and clean the container to maintain a good water environment.

Trimming the roots

Before starting to cultivate in water, trim the roots of the auspicious grass, removing the withered and rotting parts and retaining the healthy roots, which is beneficial for the plant's growth.

Adjusting lighting

Auspicious grass prefers scattered light and should not be exposed to direct sunlight. Place the plant in a bright indoor area, avoiding direct sunlight. In the summer, when temperatures are high, provide appropriate shade to reduce the plant's transpiration.

Note the temperature

The suitable growth temperature for auspicious grass is 15-25°C. When the temperature is below 10°C in winter, the plant may enter a dormant state. It is necessary to increase the indoor temperature in winter to maintain normal growth of the plant.

Fertilization

Auspicious grass cultivated in water does not require fertilization, as the plant absorbs nutrients mainly through its roots in the water. If fertilization is needed, a liquid fertilizer can be used once a month with moderate concentration.

Precautions

1. Avoid frequent watering of auspicious grass in water cultivation to prevent root rot.

2. Regularly check the growth of the plant and deal with pests and diseases promptly.

3. Avoid mixing auspicious grass with other plants in water cultivation to prevent mutual influence.

Although cultivating auspicious grass in water has some challenges, as long as you master the correct care methods, you can easily care for this potted plant. In daily life, pay more attention to the growth of auspicious grass and adjust the care measures in a timely manner. I believe you will be able to grow beautiful auspicious grass.
