How to hydroponically cultivate epipremnum aureum for rapid root growth
Abstract: This article discusses the knowledge of how to hydroponically cultivate epipremnum aureum for rapid root growth and the correct method of hydroponic cultivation, followed by detailed sharing.
Epipremnum aureum is a very common plant in homes, which can be cultivated in soil or water. Hydroponic cultivation can also yield good results. However, many plant enthusiasts are unfamiliar with hydroponics, and some even remove the soil and plant it directly in water, which is unreliable. Today, Xiao Qi will tell you about the correct hydroponic method.
When selecting branches for hydroponic cultivation, it is essential to choose the right ones. When we cultivate epipremnum aureum, a aerial root will grow from the base where each pair of leaves connects to the stem. This aerial root is crucial for root growth. As long as the aerial roots grow well and are long, we can make it grow roots rapidly, whether in soil or water. Since this aerial root is very thick and grows in the air, if we want to cultivate it in soil, we should bury it in the soil, and if we want to hydroponically cultivate it, we should immerse it in water. After burial, it will slowly grow and spread from the base of the aerial root, developing many fine roots, similar to a claw penetrating the soil. The fine roots growing from the aerial root adapt to our cultivation environment. For instance, if rooted in soil, they will grow suitable roots for soil, and if rooted in water, they will grow suitable roots for water. Therefore, it is important to preserve this.
If you want to hydroponically cultivate, select branches with aerial roots, cut off the leaves on top of the aerial roots, and then find an opaque or transparent container to wrap it. Insert the branches into the water about 10 centimeters, place them in a spot with scattered light, and let them grow roots slowly. It is essential to add some rooting hormone to the water. During this period, if the water becomes slightly dirty, change it promptly. When changing the water, the temperature should be similar, not too high or too low. Each time you change the water, add a little rooting hormone. If there are no problems, as long as the temperature can be maintained around 20 degrees, the roots will gradually grow out within about a week.
After the roots have grown, when changing the water next time, you should start adding a few drops of nutrient solution regularly to ensure adequate nutrients. The roots will grow very quickly. Once you see many roots growing, you can remove the covering from the transparent bottle to let it receive some scattered light, and continue with normal maintenance.
Hydroponically cultivated epipremnum aureum can grow very well. We only need to ensure clean water, some scattered light, and add nutrient solution to the water when changing it to ensure adequate nutrients. Epipremnum aureum can also grow well in water. This is the method of hydroponic cultivation. Have you learned it?
