Can the滴水观音 be water-cultivated?
The editor brings you the experience of滴水观音 water cultivation and the green plant maintenance skills of hydroponic滴水观音 culture. Next, let me introduce.
Everyone is very familiar with滴水观音, and some people even cultivate it at home. Placing滴水观音 indoors to purify the air is indeed a good choice. It is a very common household green pot plant and hydroponic cultivation. However, because it is a tropical plant, it generally does not bloom in the north. If the temperature and other conditions at home are suitable, it may also bloom. Based on my experience, I will introduce to you the method of hydroponic cultivation of滴水观音, hoping it will be helpful to everyone.
Maintenance methods:
First, prepare a glass bottle, a fixing basket, nutrient solution, etc., according to the size of the plant
1. Select a滴水观音 with good growth, free from diseases and pests as the mother material for hydroponic culture. Clean the old yellow leaves on the stem, retain four new leaves, then wash the entire plant and the decayed roots clean, soak them in potassium permanganate solution for 5 to 10 minutes to disinfect and sterilize, and then wash them with clean water before placing them in the bottle and fixing them.

2. Temperature: 18-226℃ is the most suitable temperature for cultivating滴水观音. If the room temperature is below 15 degrees,滴水观音 will enter a dormant period and stop growing.滴水观音 prefers a semi-shaded and well-ventilated area and likes warm and humid environments. It is important to pay special attention to the changes in seasons during cultivation.

3. Water change: First, clean the glass bottle of dirt and decayed roots; in the summer, change the water for滴水观音 every day. Use water that has been stored for 24 hours and add five drops of nutrient solution. In the winter,滴水观音 will enter a dormant period, so it is necessary to control the water change to once every half month and stop fertilizing.
4. Light: Plants that prefer semi-shade are most afraid of direct sunlight. When the leaves of the cultivated滴水观音 are drooping, it might be due to a lack of nutrients. In this case, you can increase the frequency of water changes and add more nutrient solution, otherwise it will affect the appearance.
