The latest methods and matters needing attention for water culture of Artemisia angustifolia

Money grass, also known as mirror grass, in addition to what it does, but also has a very high medicinal value, many in breeding will often choose hydroponic methods, because this is not only clean, but also looks more beautiful. So how to raise hydroponic Artemisia frutescens? What should I pay attention to? Come and have a look with the editor.

I. Culture methods

1. Water quality

If tap water is selected for aquaculture, it should be precipitated for more than 2 hours, or used every other day, and the main water quality can be clean during hydroponics. It should be noted that in order to prevent the deterioration of water quality and cause the decay of the grass-roots system, it is necessary to change the water at the right time, usually every 5-7 days in spring and autumn, 3-5 days in summer, and once every ten days and half a month in winter.

2. Nutrient solution

After each change of water, in order to ensure sufficient nutrients, it is necessary to drop nutrient solution into the water, gently shake to make nutrients uniform, but also increase oxygen content, which is conducive to root growth. The amount of nutrient solution is generally 6 drops per liter of water. Money grass likes a warm and humid environment, so it is often necessary to spray water temperature on the leaves to keep them moist.

3. Water level height

The water of hydroponic Artemisia mandshurica can not exceed 2/3 of the container, because the high water level will affect the root growth, but also pay attention to the ambient temperature, it is best to control between 10-25 degrees, no less than 5 degrees in winter, may frostbite plants.

4. Environmental selection

Hydroponic Artemisia mandshurica is usually placed in indoor ventilation to the sun, which is conducive to photosynthesis, reduce overgrowth and yellow leaf phenomenon, and can be put outside in the sun for 1-10 hours in winter to increase water temperature and enhance photosynthesis.

II. Points for attention

1. Proper pruning

The vitality of Artemisia mandshurica is relatively tenacious, so it needs proper pruning, otherwise it will affect its appearance because of its high growth. When doing the right thing, it should be pruned according to the growth condition of the period, which should not be too dense or too thin. It is necessary to control the top advantage and do not let it grow too high.

2. Change water

Water-raised Artemisia przewalskii generally does not need to change the basin after rooting, which will affect the root growth, but pay attention to the change of water, so as not to deteriorate the water quality, affect the root growth, and may cause root rot in serious cases.

3. Afraid of the cold

The money grass is afraid of the cold. If it is maintained outdoors in winter, the water can be poured out and placed in a south-facing sunny and leeward place to survive the winter safely. The leaves may partially wither, but the roots will sprout again next spring. If there is no heating in the northern area, you can cover it with a plastic bag and pour out the water to keep it moist.

The above is the introduction of the cultivation methods and matters needing attention. I hope it can help you and want to know more about it.
