Can banyan trees be hydroponically cultivated?
This introduction covers whether banyan trees can be hydroponically cultivated and an explanation of the hydroponic method for banyan trees, with the specific details as follows:
Banyan trees are a commonly seen plant, with their large trunks. Many people plant them at the entrance of villages for shade and also for the protection and happiness of the village. In the cultivation of banyan trees, soil cultivation is the main method. So can banyan trees be hydroponically cultivated? Actually, banyan trees can be hydroponically cultivated, and the method is relatively simple compared to soil cultivation. Next, I will introduce the hydroponic method for banyan trees, and interested friends can learn more.
【One, Hydroponic Method for Banyan Trees】
<1>
Firstly, when selecting the plant, the main stem should be sturdy, the branches evenly distributed, the leaves green and graceful, without dry tips. Then, wash the soil from the roots of the banyan tree with clean water and cut off the decayed roots to make it look neat.

Find a circular glass with a diameter of 10 centimeters and a height of 3 centimeters, wash it clean and set it aside. Also find a large cola bottle, cut off the top part of the bottle as a planting frame to keep it stable.

cut open the threaded bottle mouth and the conical part, adding a 20 mm section of cylinder along the generatrix, to use as a clip to hold the main stem of the small-leaf banyan. Then cut the 20 mm section of cylinder into small pieces along the generatrix.

Then, heat these small pieces with fire to bend them outward at a 90-degree angle, to use as a planting frame placed on the mouth of the cylindrical glass bottle. Adjust the planting frame in every possible way to keep it stable and maintain the small-leaf banyan plant in a central vertical position.
【Two, Precautions for Hydroponic Banyan Trees】
<1>
Firstly, in hydroponic cultivation, control the temperature to above 25℃ and maintain it for half a month. Place the hydroponic banyan tree in a shady and well-ventilated area and change the water every day. When the original roots grow white new roots, this indicates root growth.

After the banyan tree has rooted, there is no need to change the water every day, just ensure that the water level covers two-thirds of the roots. Additionally, you can fill a large cola bottle with water, let it sit for half a day before using it, to allow the tap water to fully aerate and reduce the chlorine content.
