How to propagate bamboo node begonia through hydroponics
A small experience sharing, introducing the hydroponic cultivation method of bamboo node begonia, let's understand together.
How to propagate bamboo node begonia through hydroponics
Before inserting the bamboo node begonia branches in water, they can be soaked in root-promoting powder, which is beneficial for root growth in water. Insert the cutting directly into the bottle, add water to the bottle, move it to a ventilated area with some light transmission, which can provide the plant with some sunlight and maintain the ambient temperature. After it has grown new roots, cultivate it with a nutrient solution diluted 200 times, adjusting the liquid level to half of the root system.
Hydroponic cultivation method of bamboo node begonia
1. Hydroponic timing: Based on the growth habits of bamboo node begonia, spring hydroponics is the best, i.e., March to May. At this time, the temperature and climate are very conducive to branch rooting and germination, with high survival rates.
2. Hydroponic container: For the selection of hydroponic containers for bamboo node begonia, it is best to use transparent shallow containers, which are convenient for observing the growth status. Make sure to thoroughly clean and disinfect the hydroponic container to eliminate all bacteria present.
3. Cutting the scion: For bamboo node begonia cuttings, it is necessary to use the current year's strong branches, cutting the branches into sections of two to three nodes each, with the cutting edge slanted to create a diagonal section. Each branch should not exceed two leaves.
4. Cutting insertion: Insert one end of the cut bamboo node begonia cutting into the container, adding water to the first and the second-to-last nodes. To promote rooting, an appropriate amount of root-promoting powder can be added. Place it in a bright area.
Bamboo node begonia hydroponics for fast rootingSelect healthy and sturdy branches of bamboo node begonia, then cut diagonally, with no more than two leaves. Take a transparent container and add clean water, about one-third the length of the branch. To root quickly, root-promoting powder is necessary.

Precautions for hydroponic cultivation of bamboo node begonia
The suitable temperature for the growth of bamboo node begonia is between 20-25 degrees Celsius. In the early stages of hydroponics, the dilution ratio of the nutrient solution can be increased appropriately (500 times); after new roots have grown, cultivate with a nutrient solution diluted 200 times, adjusting the liquid level to half of the root system.
