What aquatic plants are easy to care for
Here are some tips and recommendations on which aquatic plants are easy to care for and simple to cultivate, with specific introductions as follows:
I. Epipremnum aureum (Golden Pothos)
Epipremnum aureum is probably the most common hydroponic plant. It is easier to care for in water than in a pot, with no high demands on water quality. It usually takes about one to two weeks to root, and changing the water every seven days is sufficient. Remember to add some nutrient solution after a long time.
Hua Hua's cultivation advice: When initially hydroponic, change the water more frequently, about every two to three days, and then switch to once a week after the plant has developed water roots. Once new leaves appear, add nutrient solution every ten to fifteen days.
II. Lysimachia nummularia (Money Plant)
The Money Plant's leafy爆发 (explosion) resembles a pile of coins. It is also a common hydroponic plant. Simply buy some rootlets with buds and place them in a container with clean water. It will sprout leaves in a few days and grows very fast, soon filling the pot.
Hua Hua's cultivation advice: Money Plant grows rapidly. If the pot is small or the plant is too lush, it is advisable to separate them into different pots. Also, the plant has a developed and dense root system, and if the ventilation at home is poor, it may develop yellow leaves.
III. Nelumbo nucifera (Lotus)
The bowl lotus looks like a combination of a荷花 (lotus flower) and 莲花 (another type of lotus). It is suitable for growing in water. With just one seed, provided with the right temperature and clean water, it will sprout in a few days. The bowl lotus usually blooms in summer with elegant and serene flowers. With good care, it can bloom within a few months.
Hua Hua's cultivation advice: You can place a layer of soil at the bottom of the pot to help the roots develop more robustly. Remember to change the water regularly to maintain a clean environment for the bowl lotus.
IV. Narcissus (Daffodil)
Narcissus flowers bloom especially beautifully in water, looking like fresh and elegant fairies. There are two methods of hydroponic cultivation for Narcissus. One is direct hydroponics by placing it in clean water, which is not difficult to care for, but the plant grows slowly. The other method is to find a shallow pot, immerse the Narcissus shallowly, leaving the roots and stems in the water, then add clean water, just enough to cover the roots and stems.
Hua Hua's cultivation advice: When initially hydroponic, it's best to change the water daily. If the water is not changed in time, it will affect the plant's growth. Generally, during the initial hydroponic period, avoid exposure to sunlight and change the water in the morning.
The above sharing on which aquatic plants are easy to care for and simple cultivation methods for easy-to-grow aquatic plants are for reference and advice.
