Cultivating Water Plants: Guide and Tips
You can either
buy the
water plants
ready-made or cultivate them yourself
.
To get yourself one of the coveted Water Plants, you basically only need a large water container.
Make sure there is enough space for the roots.
Now do the following:
Note that the plants were not poured into the water container before they were “repotted”.
If so, it is better to wait a few more days.
Now carefully remove the dry soil
from the roots.
Again, caution is advised here so that the root hairs are not damaged.
You should therefore shower them gently until the soil is completely removed.
In the last step, the plant is placed in the water container.
By the way, this should be sufficiently filled - after all, the roots should get a lot of water, but still stay away from the leaves.
So that you have something from the Water Plant for a long time, it is worthwhile to put it in the right location.
The houseplant likes it best in partial shade, without direct sunlight.
Even if it is basically easy to care for, the water plant needs a little attention every now and then.
You should
therefore
change the water
every one to two weeks - tap water is sufficient.
If the water is too hard it is advisable to use mineral water.
A drop of
green plant fertilizer
with every water change ensures clean conditions in the water tank.
