The hydroponic method for banyan trees
Today's sharing: a little experience in the cultivation of banyan trees using the hydroponic method, with detailed introduction below.
1. Material selection
Use a mature banyan tree potted plant as the material.
2. Cultivation
Clean the soil from the roots,剪去 all the soil-borne roots with scissors, soak in a disinfectant for 15 minutes, then soak in a root-promoting agent for about 6 hours, and place in a shaded area to dry. After drying, plant the tree in a rooting bed, maintaining a temperature of about 28℃ and higher humidity. When the new roots grow to 2 centimeters in length, transfer the initially rooted banyan tree to a planting cup, fill the planting cup with perlite to secure the plant, and then move it to a hydroponic rooting bed with the bottom of the planting cup close to the liquid surface. A small amount of rain flower stones can be placed in the planting cup for decoration. When a large number of roots break through the bottom of the planting cup, the plant can be bottled. A dose of foliage plant nutrient solution can be used as the nutrient solution.
3. Bottling
After removing the plant from the hydroponic bed, wash the roots clean. Place the planting cup on the hydroponic container, with the liquid surface 2 to 3 centimeters from the bottom of the cup.
4. Maintenance
Place in a well-lit area indoors, avoiding direct sunlight in summer; frequently spray water on the leaves; keep the room temperature below 30℃ in summer and above 10℃ in winter; fertilize the leaves once every 15 days with a 0.1% urea, 0.15% potassium dihydrogen phosphate, and 0.1% ferrous sulfate solution; replace the nutrient solution based on the clarity of the water, if it's clear, there's no need to replace; pay attention to environmental ventilation.
