Can the evergreen plant be cultivated hydroponically? How to cultivate the evergreen plant.
Can the万年青 be cultivated in water?The editor explains whether the万年青 can be cultivated in water and the cultivation methods of green plants, with the following introduction for netizens.Highlight: The万年青 can be hydroponically cultivated and propagated through cutting. Hydroponics is the fastest for root growth, and it is the preferred method in actual greenhouse seedling production. Soil cultivation is also possible, but it requires controlling watering and ensuring environmental humidity, otherwise it easily leads to dehydration and rotting of roots and seedlings. Overall, hydroponic root growth is faster than soil root growth.Let's first look at the pictures provided by netizens:The pictures show that the万年青 is Guangdong万年青:The first circle indicates severe soil compaction.The second circle shows leaf dehydration and yellowing due to insufficient humidity and strong sunlight, as it is indoor cultivation without adequate ventilation and strong transmitted light through the glass.The third circle shows leaf drooping and yellowing at the tips, indicating insufficient humidity and lack of water.For this pot of万年青, I suggest that netizens frequently spray water to maintain humidity, slightly loosen the soil for better aeration, open windows for ventilation, and move it to a slightly shaded and cooler location for care.万年青 is a plant that prefers shade and is sensitive to high temperatures and direct sunlight, especially in indoor glass windows with poor ventilation.Netizens asked if万年青 can be propagated through hydroponics and then transplanted. The answer is clearly yes. Next, we will share the steps and precautions for hydroponic propagation of万年青 with pictures and practical operations.As shown in the picture above, when propagating万年青 through hydroponics, simply cut the branches. To encourage earlier root growth, you can soak the branches in rooting powder for about 20 minutes. When using tap water for hydroponics, let it sit for a night before use. Rainwater is best, as slightly acidic rainwater promotes root growth.Looking at the picture above, this is the root growth after half a month of hydroponics. It can be seen that hydroponic root growth is very fast, with visible bulges in about ten days and roots visible in fifteen days, and the growth is very rapid after rooting.Can万年青 be hydroponically cultivated?As shown in the picture above, this is the condition after two months of hydroponic cultivation of万年青. It can be seen that the roots have become dense, and at this point, it can be easily transplanted into soil. After transplanting, it is almost problem-free. Of course, in actual cultivation, when the roots are 4 centimeters long and the white roots turn brown, they can be transplanted into pots for care.Two key points for easy root growth in hydroponic propagation of万年青:1. Water temperatureFor fast root growth and to prevent wound rot in hydroponic cultivation of万年青, it is best to keep the water temperature above 22 degrees. Therefore, hydroponics is not recommended in spring; summer is the easiest time for root growth.2. Water replacementIn hydroponic propagation of万年青, do not change the water frequently before the roots have formed, as it will take time to adapt to the new environment. Change the water only when it becomes turbid. After the roots have formed, change the water once a week to promote rapid root growth.In addition to hydroponics,万年青 can also be propagated in soil.The key points for easy root growth in soil cultivation of万年青 are to trim the branches, then soak them in a 5-minute solution of carbendazim, and after natural drying, directly plant them. I'm indifferent to the potting soil. If you want fast root growth, I suggest using river sand or vermiculite. Of course, you can also use a mixture of garden soil, humus soil, and river sand for planting, but it may take longer to root. Be especially careful to prevent root rot from excessive watering.In conclusion:万年青 can be propagated through hydroponics and soil cultivation. Hydroponics is faster, while soil cultivation requires higher standards. However, regardless of the propagation method, it is recommended to soak the branches in water mixed with rooting powder before propagation to encourage faster root growth. For hydroponics, pay attention to water temperature, and for soil cultivation, prevent water accumulation and rot at the cutting site.The above is a detailed explanation of whether万年青 can be hydroponically cultivated and the cultivation methods of green plants from the Green Plant Enthusiast website. I hope this article can provide you with help in green plant management!
