How to keep hydroponic Epipremnum aureum green and healthy
Do you know these? Tips for keeping hydroponic Epipremnum aureum green and healthy and tricks for making it grow wildly are small experiences in plant cultivation. Please see the detailed introduction below.
Epipremnum aureum is evergreen, easy to care for, and very ornamental, making it very popular among the public! Epipremnum aureum can be cultivated in soil or water, but hydroponic Epipremnum aureum is the preferred choice for many plant enthusiasts, as hydroponics is clean, hygienic, and more visually appealing. If hydroponic Epipremnum aureum is not properly cared for, it can easily develop yellow leaves and soft, rotting roots and stems. Therefore, today, I will introduce you to the care methods for hydroponic Epipremnum aureum.
1. Hydroponic transplantation of Epipremnum aureum
Newly cut Epipremnum aureum can grow roots in about a week and can then be hydroponically cultivated. Initially, change the water every 2-3 days for the newly cut Epipremnum aureum, and after two weeks, change the water every 7-10 days.
Note: The part of the stem placed in the water should not have leaves, as this can easily affect the water quality. You can choose a well-shaped potted plant, wash off the soil, cut off the old roots, and place it in clean water, which is also easy to survive.
2. Water quality selection
The water used for cultivating Epipremnum aureum is also very important. You can choose clean tap water or purified water. The correct choice of water quality is very important for the cultivation of hydroponic Epipremnum aureum.
3. Selection of nutrient solution
Hydroponic Epipremnum aureum grows slowly initially due to changes in the environment. Using a nutrient solution can promote rapid growth of Epipremnum aureum, but before using the nutrient solution, it must be diluted with water, otherwise it may cause uneven nutrient distribution in the plant.
4. Change water frequently
When cultivating Epipremnum aureum hydroponically, be sure to change the water frequently. Remember to change the water every 2-3 days, as Epipremnum aureum has high requirements for water quality. Once new roots grow, remember to add a nutrient solution to make the leaves of Epipremnum aureum more glossy.
5. Provide appropriate lighting
Hydroponic Epipremnum aureum needs plenty of scattered light for the leaves to expand and maintain a bright green color. It is best to place it in an area with sufficient scattered light. If the environment is too dark, move it to an area with enough scattered light every ten days or so for a few hours of light exposure to maintain the luster of the leaves.
6. Mist the leaves appropriately
Epipremnum aureum prefers a warm and humid environment, so be sure to mist the leaves regularly to increase humidity. This is very beneficial for the growth of Epipremnum aureum and also helps clean the leaves.
7. Wash the roots frequently
It is necessary to clean the roots of Epipremnum aureum at intervals. If the roots are too long, they should be trimmed to prevent nutrient loss. If the roots become腐烂 and sticky, they should be cleaned promptly, the rotten roots cut off, and then soaked in potassium permanganate solution for disinfection before resuming care. This allows Epipremnum aureum to better absorb nutrients.
Note: For the first few days after resuming care, change the water every 2-3 days, as with the initial hydroponic setup, and then change the water every ten days once the plant has fully recovered.
The above sharing of how to keep hydroponic Epipremnum aureum green and healthy and tricks for making it grow wildly, I hope it is helpful to you!
