1. Cylinder cultivation

When decorating the aquarium indoors, gravel with a diameter of 3-5 mm should be selected as the cultivation substrate. If the conditions do not permit, the washed coarse sand can also be used as the cultivation substrate. The operation can be carried out when the seedlings grow more new roots. If planted separately, the container used is usually a medium-sized aquarium. Pay attention to the location to ensure that the plant can receive the required light. First lay the cultivation substrate at the bottom of the aquarium with a thickness of 5-7 cm. In order to facilitate operation, you can first inject an appropriate amount of water into the cylinder, and then plant. After the operation is over, continue to inject water into the cultivation container to the desired height.

The pH of the water body should be controlled between 6.57.5, that is, from slightly acidic to slightly alkaline. There is a large demand for fertilizer, and fertilizer should be applied every 2-3 weeks in the stage of vigorous growth. If there are conditions, carbon dioxide can be applied to the plant. It can also grow well under the condition of sparse overcast, and the plant can grow normally when given artificial light for 6-8 hours a day with special fluorescent lamp. When the plant is about 10 cm high, it should be enucleated once to promote branching. Under good management conditions, Pteris vittata is not easy to get sick and is less attacked by harmful animals. This kind of plant is perennial, its shape is fast, easy to aging when the plant is too high, the ornamental effect will be affected, so its ornamental period is only 3-5 months after each planting. If the plant is not renewed, its continuous cultivation should not be more than 6 months.
