How to raise copper money grass in water

Tongqian grass, also known as mushroom grass, is perennial water or wet herbs. The height of the plant is 5 to 15 meters. The top of the stem is brown. Submerged leaves with long stalks, round shield-shaped, 2-4 meters in diameter, margin undulate, grass-green. Flowers bisexual; umbels; florets white and pink. Divide the fruit. The florescence is from June to August. Its stem node is obvious, a section, each section has a leaf, can be extended all the time. Its underground stem grows at an astonishing rate and spreads wherever it goes. It is one of the beautiful and easy-to-grow aquatic plants.

This kind of plant can be planted in open ground in warm areas, and is suitable for indoor water greening in water plates, aquariums, pools and wetlands. When cultivated in an aquarium, it is often used as a foreground grass. The whole herb can be used as medicine and has the effect of diuresis. If you want to use potted or hanging pot cultivation, it is best to keep water for a long time.

Cultivation method: half water and half soil is the best, followed by soil culture, but also water culture. Because hydroponics is clean, many flower lovers choose hydroponics to introduce some hydroponic experiences below.

1. Water money is suitable for extensive cultivation, as long as it is given enough sunshine and water, it can grow very fast.

two。 If there is no sunshine indoors, lights can be used instead.

3. Water needs to precipitate tap water for two hours, or use it the next day.

4. You can add a little nutrient solution to the water.

5. Water money generally has yellow leaves, but its withering rate is far less than the growth rate, so don't worry.

6. The root system of water money grows green algae, but can not be cleaned.

7. As long as the water is not rotten, just add water to it and spray some water on the leaves regularly.

Breeding method: the requirement of water quality of Rabdosia angustifolia is not strict, it can be cultivated in fresh water with low hardness, the salinity should not be too high. The pH of the water body should be controlled between 6.5 and 7.0, that is, from slightly acidic to neutral. It has a large demand for fertilizer, and it can be topdressing every 2-3 weeks in the vigorous growth stage. If planted in pots or containers, a small amount of fertilizer is needed, such as quick-acting fertilizer-Huabao No.2, or slow-acting fertilizer-magic fertilizer (which can maintain fertilizer effect in water for a long time).

If you do not want half-water and half-soil culture, you can also use complete hydroponics, using pebbles to press the roots and fix the plants, so as not to hurt the branches floating around in the water. Rabdosia angustifolia has lax requirements on water quality and strong adaptability, and it can grow well in slightly acidic or slightly alkaline fresh water. In the peak growing season, Rabdosia angustifolia requires more fertilizer, and nutrient solution should be applied every ten days or so. In order to make the leaves strong and bright, more nitrogen fertilizer can be applied.

In the early stage of hydroponic culture, green algae are easy to grow in the basin water, this is because the grass is not strong enough, and after the branches of the leaves can cover the mouth of the basin, this phenomenon will gradually decrease and disappear. In order to keep the basin water clean and improve the ornamental value, the basin water should be changed about once a week. Tongqian grass likes sufficient light, warm environment, if the conditions permit, it is best to give all-day light, so that the copper grass can not be exuberant. Lack of light, the leaves are light, the branches are weak, and they are prone to overgrowth, which is a great lack of ornamental value. Generally speaking, hydroponic Rabdosia angustifolia is a good plant, as long as it is often fertilized and basked in more sunshine, it can grow well without too much care.
