This article introduces the knowledge of how to cultivate hydroponic巴西木 and the maintenance tips for 巴西木, with the following introduction provided by the website editor for netizens.
巴西木 has an elegant style and a tropical charm, making it a very popular indoor ornamental plant in recent years. Many people enjoy hydroponic cultivation, but often struggle to keep it alive, as it withers within a few days, causing frustration. Today, I will share with you four cultivation tips to easily grow it to full bloom and boost your sense of accomplishment.
1. Some hobbyists are afraid that their hydroponic 巴西木 might be thirsty, so they fill the bottle with water, making it too full. While 巴西木 will not die of thirst in the water, it can suffocate. Think about it: with the lower part of the plant submerged in water, it cannot breathe oxygen. Can it survive?
Therefore, the water in the container for hydroponic 巴西木 should not be too much. Make sure to expose part of the trunk above the water. I recommend that you immerse 2 to 3 centimeters of the trunk in water, not too long, so that the plant can breathe comfortably, making it hard for it not to thrive.
2. A friend of mine once returned from a business trip that lasted half a month and was shocked to find that the container for her hydroponic 巴西木 was covered with green moss, and there were small insects in the water. Poor 巴西木 was already on the brink of death. I advised her to treat it immediately by cleaning the container and changing the water to allow the plant to recover slowly.
Hydroponic plants must be regularly cleaned and the water changed, especially in the summer when bacteria and small insects can easily thrive in the water, harming the health of 巴西木. It is recommended to change the water twice a week in the summer to keep the water clean and hygienic. Note that pure water is best for hydroponic 巴西木, and if tap water is used, it should be left to sit for 1 to 2 days before use.
3. Many people think that hydroponic 巴西木 only needs water and does not require fertilizing. However, hydroponic 巴西木 also needs "food." Only with sufficient nutrition can it be full of vitality. Therefore, don't forget to fertilize 巴西木.
Fertilizing hydroponic flowers is also simple. Add a few drops of nutrient solution to the water every 20 days, which is usually enough to meet the plant's growth needs. 巴西木 has thick stems and large leaves and requires more nutrients during its growing period. It is recommended to spray a 100x nutrient solution on the leaves every half month. This will make the leaves look bright and increase the plant's attractiveness.
4. While terrestrial 巴西木 needs to be repotted every year, hydroponic 巴西木 does not require repotting. However, after a year of growth, the roots of 巴西木 become old and fill the container. If left unchecked, some old and diseased roots may rot, leading to root infection and preventing new roots from sprouting, causing the plant to wither gradually.
Remember to prune the roots of hydroponic 巴西木 every spring, removing old, diseased, long, and dense roots to promote new root growth and keep the plant vigorous and youthful.
