Can asparagus be hydroponically cultivated?

Apart from being made into bonsai, can asparagus be hydroponically cultivated? At present, there is a lot of debate on the Internet about whether asparagus can be hydroponically cultured, and some flower friends think it is impossible. Asparagus leaves show less scaly water transpiration, and the withered and yellow roots of asparagus leaves begin to die over a long time, but there are also flower friends who have seen successful cases of hydroponic culture on the Internet. let's take a look at whether asparagus can be hydroponically cultured.

Can asparagus be hydroponically cultivated?

Asparagus can be cultured in water. Asparagus has elegant plant shape and slender and beautiful leafy branches, which is a good product in hydroponic culture. moreover, hydroponic culture of asparagus is easier to maintain than soil culture, and its survival rate is higher, but it is difficult to operate.

When hydroponic culture of asparagus, it should be noted that only 2/3 to 3/4 of the roots can enter the water, and the rest of the roots are exposed to the air. Don't soak all the roots in water, or they will rot.

The method of hydroponic culture of asparagus

The main results are as follows: 1. The sturdy and well-developed asparagus is selected as the mother material of hydroponic culture, the soil of asparagus is taken out from the flowerpot, the soil of its root is carefully washed, the rotten root is removed, and part of the old root is cut off. Clean the leaves and plants with clean water to avoid damaging the plants. Asparagus takes root slowly, so be careful not to hurt the roots of asparagus.

2. The washed plant is fixed with a planting basket, and when fixed, the root should be fully stretched; then, together with the planting basket, the plant should be soaked in 1 ‰ carbendazim solution for 30 minutes, put in a cool place, and the next step can be carried out after the root system softens.

3. Load the special nutrient solution of asparagus into the nutrient pool and plant the above treated plants on the floating board (pay attention to keep part of the roots exposed to the air). Spray water to the leaf twice a day, under the condition of suitable temperature of 15-25 ℃, new roots can grow in two weeks, and foliar fertilizer should be added every other week.

4. Three to four weeks later, the roots of asparagus have been reborn a lot, then we can put on a bottle of static hydroponics, it is best to use ceramsite to fix it.

5. Asparagus prefers a semi-humid environment. It is usually placed near a window with light, but not in a place where the sun shines directly, and it is ventilated. A tray with water is still placed under the container and replenished frequently.

6. The hydroponic culture of asparagus had better use the special nutrient solution of asparagus. The maintenance of hydroponic culture of asparagus is much easier than that of soil cultivation. Usually, you only need to pay attention to changing water, about 10 days in summer and 20 days in winter, and replenish the nutrient solution every time.

Shaping method of hydroponic asparagus

1. Pot control method: the ratio of flowerpot to plant size should be 1:3, which can limit the growth of root system and keep the plant size unchanged.

2. Remove the growing point: when the new bud reaches 2~3cm, it can promote the regeneration of branches and leaves on the stem, control its non-growing vines, flatten out the branches and leaves, and make the plant shape plump.

3. Making use of the phototaxis of asparagus: turning the direction of the flowerpot at the right time can modify the growth shape of branches and leaves and keep the plant type unchanged.

4. Object shielding method: that is, using a piece of hard paper to press the branches and leaves or cover the sun, so that when the branches and leaves are growing, the stems will turn or bend when they encounter objects, so as to achieve the purpose of modeling.
