Is hydroponics or soil cultivation better for巴西木?
Today, I will introduce whether hydroponics or soil cultivation is better for巴西木 and the precautions for potted巴西木, followed by the introduction from the site editor for netizens.
巴西木 is a type of flowering plant that is very popular among young people in daily life. It has a beautiful and unique appearance and is very easy to care for. Moreover, merchants often place a cute little figure on the巴西木 stake, which makes this type of flowering plant very popular. However, many young friends really don't know some of the maintenance methods for巴西木. Most people can only learn about the skills of flower maintenance from merchants. But sometimes, do merchants really tell you everything without hiding anything?
For example, many merchants will tell you to just soak it in water when it comes to the maintenance method of巴西木, and at most they will also tell you to add some nutrient solutions to promote the growth of the plant. But does巴西木 need to be soaked in water all the time? Of course not!
巴西木 doesn't need to be "soaked" all the time. You need to learn to prune and fertilize to promote rooting, and soil cultivation is better!
Soaking巴西木 in water all the time is just one method of home cultivation. Hydroponic巴西木 can also be converted to soil cultivation, so there is no need to soak it in water all the time. Because hydroponic巴西木 soaked in water is actually more troublesome to maintain, after all, the nutrients in the water are not as abundant as in the soil, so you need to add nutrient solutions regularly. Otherwise, the roots can easily rot and the leaves can turn yellow. Therefore, from a long-term perspective, it is better to switch to soil cultivation of巴西木 after a period of cultivation.
So how do you switch from hydroponic巴西木 to soil cultivation? This requires a processing procedure. First, you need to learn how to prune and fertilize to promote root growth. Only after the roots of巴西木 have grown can they quickly survive in the soil. Next, I will share with you the specific process of transitioning from hydroponic to soil cultivation of巴西木.

How to change hydroponic巴西木 to soil cultivation?
1. Pruning and disinfection
Once you decide to change hydroponic巴西木 to soil cultivation, the first thing you need to do is to prune the rotting roots and withered leaves of巴西木, then soak them in potassium permanganate solution and carbendazim solution for disinfection, and then place them in a well-ventilated and shaded place to dry the wounds.
2. Prepare loose potting soil
巴西木 is actually a tropical plant that prefers to grow in a warm environment and requires a lot of water. However, if you switch to soil cultivation, it is really afraid of waterlogging issues because it can easily cause root rot. Therefore, you need to prepare potting soil that is loose and has good breathability. It is recommended to use river sand mixed with nutrient-rich humus soil, which is more suitable for the growth of巴西木.
3. Planting and rooting
When transitioning from hydroponic to soil cultivation,巴西木 should not be planted too deep at first. You just need to make sure that the roots of巴西木 can spread out and the stem will not fall over. Then, compact the soil and water thoroughly to set the roots. After that, place it in a well-ventilated and shaded environment to do the potting work and avoid sunburn.
