Dishui Guanyin, also known as sea taro. Because its leaves are covered with "stomata" and "water holes", when the external temperature and humidity are high, the water discharged from the water holes will gather at the tip or edge of the dripping Guanyin leaves, thus forming water droplets, so it is called "dripping Guanyin". The water of dripping Guanyin is poisonous. Children and pets at home must be careful not to come into contact with them.

Dripping Guanyin can purify the air and absorb harmful substances in the air, and its leaves are green, fat, plump and bright, so it is a very beautiful foliage plant, so many flower friends are very happy to keep one or two pots.

Many flower lovers will ask whether Dishui Guanyin is suitable for hydroponic culture in addition to soil culture. In fact, Dishui Guanyin is also very suitable for hydroponic culture, but there are some methods and points for attention that you must understand, otherwise it will be easy to cultivate it for a long time. Today, the editor will tell you how to cultivate dripping Guanyin.

Clean the roots

Before hydroponics dripping Guanyin, wash its roots with clean water, wash off the soil and other impurities, and keep the roots clean.

Water quality and water exchange

Dripping Guanyin stem and root tissue is relatively loose, so hydroponics is to choose clean and hygienic water quality, otherwise unclean water is easy to breed bacteria, it is easy to cause plant stem and root rot.

It takes too long to change water, and the water quality deteriorates and pollutes, which can easily cause root rot, especially in summer, when the temperature is relatively high, the frequency of changing water should be increased, and the root system of dripping Guanyin should be cleaned every time.

When changing water for Dishui Guanyin, always clean the inner wall of the container, because over time, it is easy to grow moss and breed bacteria in the container.

Water level selection

In hydroponics dripping Guanyin, the amount of water in the container should not be too much or too little, and the general water level should not exceed 2top 3 of the root system. If too much water is added, it will affect the respiration of plant roots, thus directly affecting the growth of plants.

Growing environment

Water culture dripping Guanyin should choose a ventilated and humid environment. Therefore, it is necessary to often open windows for ventilation, which is beneficial to increase the dissolved oxygen in the water in the container and is more conducive to the growth of plants. We can also use spray cans to spray water on and around the leaves to increase the humidity of the air.

Light temperature

Dripping Guanyin maintenance, when the summer temperature is high, the sun is strong, it is necessary to avoid strong light, timely shade, mainly scattered light. Keep plenty of light in winter.

The best temperature for the growth of dripping Guanyin is about 20 ℃, so when the temperature is high, it can also be cooled by spraying water.

Fertilizer application

Hydroponic dripping Guanyin needs to apply some nutrient solution to help it grow. When the nutrition is insufficient, the leaves will turn yellow and even wilt. Don't add nutrient solution to Dishui Guanyin, which has just been hydroponically cultured, and then apply it when new roots grow.
