Seed planting method of Bovine hair Water Grass

The seeds of cattle hair aquatic grass are suitable to be planted in Shahe, and the seeds can be scattered on the river sand at the bottom of the fish tank, and the seeds do not need to be covered with water grass mud, just cover the outside of the fish tank with plastic film, then poke a few small holes and add an appropriate amount of carbon dioxide. The suitable growth temperature is 25-30 ℃. In the process of growth, watering can be carried out according to the dry humidity of river sand. Watering can not be irrigated by flood, and it is suitable for spray watering before germination.

First, spread sand at the bottom

Niu Mao aquatic grass seeds should not be planted in soil, but suitable for planting in Shahe, so it is necessary to select high-quality bottom sand, and then spread it to the bottom of the fish tank for planting. The common bottom sand on the market are white sand, coarse river sand and black gold sand. These types of bottom sand can be used for planting.

Second, sow seeds

The planting method of ox hair aquatic grass seed is actually very simple, only need to prepare the cow hair water grass seed, sow it into the bottom sand at the bottom of the fish tank, the thickness of the bottom sand is about 2cm, after sowing, do not need to cover the above water grass mud, just need to use a sprayer to wet the substrate, and then cover the outside of the fish tank with plastic film for heat preservation and moisturizing.

Third, maintenance and germination

Generally, the plastic film needs to poke a few small holes to facilitate the ventilation and ventilation of the seeds. The suitable growth temperature is between 25 and 30 ℃, so the temperature needs to be controlled within the appropriate range. During this period, the seeds should be sprayed with water every day, and sufficient sunlight should be provided for the seeds. Then wait for 3-5 days or so before it will grow and germinate.

Fourth, add carbon dioxide

Generally, there are water grass lamps in the fish tank for lighting, so in the maintenance of cattle hair water plants, you also need to add an appropriate amount of carbon dioxide, but not too much, otherwise it will cause death due to lack of oxygen, and it is not appropriate to add too little, otherwise it will lead to poor growth and development of cattle hair water plants, in the planting process, to maintain the PH value in the fish tank between 6.4-6.8.

V. matters needing attention

(1) watering along the edge

Ox hair water grass takes root in the river sand is not very deep, so when watering, do not carry out fierce irrigation and flood irrigation, generally in the cow hair water grass seeds before germination, suitable for spray watering, after germination, you need to slowly water along the edge of the fish tank, watering to prevent the flow of water to wash up the sediment, so that the root of the cow hair water grass will be detached, and the river sand will float in the water.

(2) the river sand is wet.

After the seeds are planted on the river sand, it is necessary to keep the substrate moist at all times during its growth, because the grass needs sufficient water during its growth. if the river sand is too dry, it will cause the seeds to fail to germinate and grow. during the period, you can touch the river sand with your hands, and if there is a micro-drying phenomenon, you should spray water in time to keep it moist.
