Can Dryopteris fern be cultured in hydroponics? cultivation techniques of Dryopteris Dryopteris

Dryopteris Dryopteris is a very popular fern in the market at present, and its ornamental value is very high. If home farming can be made into a miniature landscape, it can also be made into a gondola and placed indoors or on the balcony. However, in the past, the way of soil cultivation can no longer meet the needs of people, and the gradual introduction of hydroponic potted plants is more attractive, not only simple and convenient, but also clean and beautiful. Many people will ask, can Wolftail fern also be hydroponically cultivated?

Can Dryopteris vulgaris be cultured in water?

I. production preparation

A healthy wolf tail fern, a planting basket, a transparent flowerpot for easy observation of water, the right amount of cotton, non-woven cloth and colored stone.

Second, the production process

1. Production of planting basket

The cotton is spread at the bottom of the planting basket and covered with a layer of non-woven cloth to maintain the water supply of the plant during the culture process. The cotton thread passes through the bottom of the planting basket to fix the roots of the plant.

2. Hydroponic Dryopteris Dryopteris

If you rinse the wolf tail fern in water, you can trim the roots properly, and if you trim, you should pay attention to drying the wound. Put the plant into the planting basket and fix it with cotton thread to avoid falling down. It is covered with non-woven cloth and decorated with colored stones. Such a refreshing aquatic wolf-tail fern has been made.

3. Later maintenance of Dryopteris Dryopteris in water culture.

Put the wolf-tail fern in the half-shade to slow the seedling for about a week, and then culture normally after the whole plant comes back to life. Remember to always pay attention to the change of moisture in the basin, and if less, remember to replenish water in time.

Change the water in the basin every two weeks, pay attention to clean up the moss in the basin; if you like, you can raise a few small fish in the transparent basin below, which can eat the substances secreted by plant roots and metabolic waste, increase ornamental and clean the water in the basin at the same time.

Cultivation techniques of Dryopteris vulgaris

1. Lighting

Dryopteris is an evergreen herbaceous epiphytic fern, like a warm semi-shady environment, suitable for scattered light, can not let direct sunlight, otherwise it is easy to wilt and curl. Family cultivation can be placed in a sunny place indoors.

2. Watering

Wolftail fern should keep the basin soil moist, and there should be an adequate supply of water in the growing season, which can be watered once every 2 to 3 days. Although it is necessary to keep the soil moist, there is no harm in slightly drying during the watering interval for Dryopteris. Wolftail fern can not be watered too much, too much water can lead to leaf shedding.

3. Temperature

Wolftail fern is native to New Zealand and Japan, and is distributed in tropical and subtropical regions of Asia, Oceania, America and the Pacific Islands.

4. Air humidity

Like high wet environment, not resistant to drying, during maintenance should frequently spray water to the plant and growth environment to humidify, the appropriate humidity is about 80%, too dry will cause leaf edge withered yellow, or even whole leaf withered yellow.

5. Soil and fertilization

Loose and breathable sandy loam is the best soil. Dryopteris fern has a low demand for fertilizer and does not like thick fertilizer, so it can apply less thin fertilizer in the process of conservation.

What are the points for attention in breeding wolf tail fern?

1. Methods of reproduction

Dryopteris is a fern that has no seeds and usually propagates through spores. However, in general, family farming is propagated through cuttings, which is carried out in spring.

2. Diseases and insect pests

The main diseases in the growth process of Dryopteris are root rot, and the pests are mainly caused by aphids and red spiders, all of which are caused by environmental factors.

Why the leaves of Dryopteris fern turn yellow and wither

1. Lack of water at the root

Soak the flowerpot in the water container. See that the surface of the basin soil is wet, take the basin out. I master it every time I water it. Cut off the dry leaves.

2. Improper lighting

Although the wolf tail fern is shady and does not like strong light, the growth conditions must also have a certain amount of light, preferably with semi-shade maintenance, not in too shady places, let alone direct light in summer.

3. The air humidity is too low

Not only like water, but also like the wet growth environment, in addition to normal watering, but also frequently spray water to the plant to maintain good growth.

4. Fertilizer surplus

The demand for fertilizer is not high, do not like thick fertilizer, as little as possible.

From the above, we know that Wolftail fern is also suitable for hydroponic culture, which is undoubtedly not good news for most people. Whether hydroponic or soil culture, the breeding method of Wolftail fern is not very difficult, so flower friends with ideas might as well give it a try.
