The hydroponic method of豆瓣绿 (Neon Pothos)
This topic explains the knowledge of hydroponic flowering plants, focusing on the hydroponic method of growing豆瓣绿. Here is a detailed introduction.
豆瓣绿 is an excellent material for hydroponic plants, with thick leaves, evergreen throughout the year, each plant having 4-5 leaves. It easily adapts to the aquatic environment without rotting, is easy to cultivate, and is a lovely variety that boosts the confidence of beginners. Moreover, hydroponic豆瓣绿 is fresh and unique, adding a special charm when placed on a desk or table.
1. Propagation methods.
豆瓣绿 is commonly propagated using cutting and division methods.
Cutting: In April to May, select healthy terminal branches, about 5cm long as cuttings, retain 1-2 leaves at the top, let the cut surface dry, then insert into a moist sand bed. Leaf cutting can also be used, cutting leaves with petioles, slightly drying them before inserting diagonally into the sand bed. Roots will form in 10-15 days. This can be done throughout the year in a greenhouse with temperature control equipment.
Division: Mainly used for the propagation of colored leaf varieties. Potting soil can be made of decomposed leaf soil, peat soil mixed with some perlite or sand, and an appropriate amount of base fertilizer added. During the growing period, apply a top dressing every half month, and it is best to use water that has been placed in a pool for 1-2 days for watering. In winter, reduce watering. Temperature changes directly affect the color of the leaves, with the optimal temperature for colored leaf varieties being 18-20°C in winter, and about 15°C for green leaf varieties.
2. Hydroponic method. It is best to perform hydroponics on豆瓣绿 in April and May. Take a well-shaped terrestrial plant, carefully wash off the soil from the roots, remove dead roots and leaves. Soak in a 0.05% potassium permanganate solution for 10 minutes, then rinse and plant in a container, securing the roots with a medium, and adding clean water to cover 1/2-2/3 of the roots. It is worth noting that the stems and leaves of豆瓣绿 are tender and should not be watered. Change the water every 2-3 days during the initial hydroponic stage, and after a week, new roots will grow. When the new roots reach more than 5 centimeters, move the container and plant to a place with ample scattered light for maintenance, and switch to using a foliage plant nutrient solution, changing the nutrient solution every half month.
3. Maintenance points. At the beginning of April and May, change the water daily during hydroponics to clean any sticky substances from the roots, then add clean water, continuing for about 10 days. After new fibrous roots grow, change the water every 2-3 days. For watering豆瓣绿, river water, rainwater, or tap water can be used. Special varieties (like Christmas cacti) should be watered with rainwater or settled tap water, generally not using well water. Compared to other hydroponic plants,豆瓣绿 requires less nutrients and usually does not need to be fertilized. Over-fertile water can easily cause the proliferation of aquatic microorganisms, which is not conducive to plant growth. Moreover, succulent and juicy plants do not require much light. Once new fibrous roots grow, the maintenance becomes relatively simple. Spray water on the leaves when the air is dry, and avoid frost.
