How to reproduce green chrysanthemum and aquatic plants

When it comes to green chrysanthemum, fish farmers must know that it is a kind of water plant with high ornamental value, so how do green chrysanthemum water plants reproduce?

First, how to reproduce green chrysanthemum and aquatic plants?

Green chrysanthemum water grass can be propagated by cuttings or lateral buds, in which cuttage is a more common method.

1. Breeding time

If you want to cuttage propagation of green chrysanthemum water plants, it is necessary to choose the right time. Generally speaking, cutting propagation is carried out all the year round, but it is best to cut in spring and autumn, because the spring and autumn season is its luxuriant growth period, and the survival rate is higher after cutting, rooting and sprouting faster.

2. Prepare the matrix

Green chrysanthemum grass likes muddy bottom bed and soft water, but it is difficult to raise it in high hardness water and weak alkaline water. Bottom sand should choose natural neutral, weakly acidic river sand, do not choose alkaline ordinary sand, so as not to hinder the normal growth and survival of aquatic plants.

3. Pruning branches

There are many lateral buds in the stem nodes of green chrysanthemum and grow into lateral branches. When the lateral branch is more than 7 cm, it can be cut at 5 mm below the stem node, so that the branch can survive higher after cutting. Disinfect the substrate and branch wounds before cutting.

4. Cutting substrate

Cut the green chrysanthemum water plant cuttings into the substrate, appropriate amount of watering to keep the moist environment. It is placed relatively close to the light source, so as to fully absorb light and promote healthy and luxuriant growth. The root system will grow after about a period of time, indicating that the propagation cuttings have survived.

Second, how to raise green chrysanthemums and aquatic plants?

1. Aquarium requirements

Green chrysanthemum aquarium is suitable for growing in an aquarium with a height of 45-50cm, if it is too small, it will affect its growth and development, so when raising ornamental fish, it is best to choose a larger aquarium.

2. Water quality requirements

Green chrysanthemum aquatic plants are suitable for survival in ph 6.5-7.2 weakly acidic water. If tap water is used, it can be exposed to the sun for two or three days to remove chlorine, and then pour the water into the aquarium. If you do not know whether the water quality is acidic or alkaline, you can first test the aquarium water quality and make it weakly acidic.

3. Lighting requirements

Green chrysanthemums and aquatic plants like light, but it doesn't matter if there is less lighting. However, it is personally recommended to use artificial lighting to illuminate it, so that it can also give sufficient light to green chrysanthemum plants.

4. Temperature requirement

The green chrysanthemum water plant is not resistant to high temperature, and the water temperature is 22-28 degrees, so the high water temperature can cool it down, especially in summer, so that it can pass the summer safely.

5. Fertilizer requirements

Green chrysanthemum plants do not have high requirements for fertilizer, but it does not mean that they do not need fertilizer. Generally, they can drop a few drops of nutrient solution into the water or apply liquid fertilizer to promote the growth of green chrysanthemum plants. In addition, carbon dioxide can improve the appreciation of green chrysanthemum plants, so you can add carbon dioxide to the water. Wait until the next day you will find that green chrysanthemum plants turn pink. At this time, the green chrysanthemum plants will become very beautiful and the ornamental value will be greatly increased.
