What if the root of Anthurium andraeanum turns green in water culture?

Because the ornamental value of Anthurium andraeanum is very high, it can watch both flowers and leaves, so it is deeply loved by people, especially by family potted users. Considering that it has little impact on environmental hygiene and is relatively clean, many potted friends like hydroponic Anthurium andraeanum. However, it is also necessary to do a good job of maintenance and management in the process of hydroponic culture, otherwise the root system of Anthurium andraeanum is easy to turn green. So, what if the hydroponic Anthurium andraeanum root turns green?

In fact, the root of hydroponic Anthurium andraeanum turns green does not mean that the root system has rotted, in most cases, it is due to the poor underwater environment and the breeding of a large number of algae and other debris wrapped on the root system. These sundries will greatly reduce the respiratory capacity of Anthurium andraeanum roots, and even affect its normal absorption function, thus affecting the normal growth and flowering of plants. Therefore, we need to clean up these sundries wrapped on the roots in time. At the same time, we also need to manage the following aspects:

1. Due to the hydroponic cultivation of Anthurium andraeanum, the water must be changed frequently, especially in the hot summer. Clear water can be changed every 3-5 days in summer, once a week in spring and autumn, and 2-3 weeks in winter. And every time the water is changed, the sundries on the roots of Anthurium andraeanum should be cleaned up in time, and the sundries on the inner wall of the container should be removed at the same time.

2. The water quality used in the water exchange must be clean. In general, pure water or mineral water is the first choice, followed by Rain Water and tap water. Of course, if you use tap water, you need to dry 2 days in advance so that the chlorine dissolved in the water is fully volatilized before use.

3. In the process of changing water, if some roots are found to blacken and rot, they need to be cut off and cleaned up in time. After all, such roots are usually mixed with algae and other substances under the action of respiration and metabolism of Anthurium andraeanum underwater roots, which are more likely to turn green, blacken, rot and so on. Therefore, it should be cleaned up in time when changing water.

4. In general, hydroponic Anthurium andraeanum only needs to submerge the 3-2 parts of the root system below the surface of the water, and the original must not submerge all the roots in water. Otherwise, once the underwater root system is covered with debris and affects the respiration, it is easy to cause the root system to turn green. Leave part of the root system in the container above the water surface. When the root system of the underwater part can not breathe normally, the root system of the water part breathes oxygen in the air, which will not affect the normal growth of the plant.

5. Hydroponic Anthurium andraeanum should often change water to ensure that the water quality in the container is clean, but it is recommended to drop a few drops of nutrient solution each time, do not control the low concentration, and must drop a small amount. Especially when the temperature is too low or too high, we should reduce the concentration of the nutrient solution, or even use clear water instead of the nutrient solution. In this way, the root system of Anthurium andraeanum can be avoided.
