How to cultivate peppermint in water? Hydroponic mint course (illustration)

The temperature rises and the temperature warms up, and the barren force in the plant begins to flow. Hydroponic culture at this time is the best time. A pair of scissors, a glass of water, one basin into two pots is as simple as that.

Peppermint pinch a section of 4-5 cm branch, after hydroponic rooting, it is easy to cuttage success. At present, you can't buy hydroponic culture in the flower market, because even some flower farmers don't know that peppermint can also be hydroponic. In fact, the method is very simple. If you are afraid that hydroponic culture is not good, you can choose to buy soil culture that has been planted for about one or two years or more. This will be easier! Cut the rod from the bottom of the mint branch, preferably with a cut (that is, the place where the leaves grow) because usually the root comes from that place first!

The cut branches can be inserted directly into the water bottle, and try to choose the one with a large mouth, because if some mints grow well, they will continue to sprout from below. If the mouth of the bottle is small, just insert one or two in a bottle! The next step is conservation. A friend told me that peppermint is made of water, which is right! But it likes water as well as the sun!

Since the addition of these guys, the first thing to do when they get up every morning is to store water for them. Every time they store water, you'd better leave some space in the mouth of the cup so that you can breathe some air below!

Peppermint is placed on the north balcony, because the summer sun is so poisonous that even Xiyang can not withstand the scorching sun, so the soft light on the north balcony can ensure their photosynthesis for about 3 hours every morning. And can ensure the rapid growth of the root, will not be a long apprentice!

1. Cut healthy mint cuttings, the length of which is about four or five centimeters. Want to have a high survival rate, healthy and dynamic cuttings is the most important premise, diseased branches, weak branches and insect pests do not need to be considered.

2. Remove the leaves at the bottom of the mint cuttings. If you insert the leaves of the cuttings into the water, because the water affects the respiration of the leaves, it is easy to cause the leaves to rot, so clean and clean the leaves at the bottom of the cuttings.

3. Pour 1/2 to 1/3 water into the glass bottle, then put the prepared mint cuttings into the water and put them in a place with plenty of light indoors.

4. in the initial stage of hydroponic culture, change the water every one or two days to ensure the cleanliness of the water quality. after the root system grows, you can appropriately prolong the time of changing water and clean the glass bottle regularly to prevent the infection of bacteria.

With regard to the reproduction of peppermint, peppermint can be cut, just like soil culture and water culture. if you give enough light and water, peppermint will grow very quickly. When the hydroponic peppermint root system is strong enough and grows tall enough to grow almost seven pairs of leaves, they can be beheaded. After beheading, they will separate two new buds from the nodes below, belonging to the more exuberant type of beheading!

Tips:

After peppermint grows roots, people can choose to continue hydroponic culture or transplant it into the soil according to their own conditions. If you continue hydroponic culture, you need to add an appropriate amount of hydroponic nutrient solution every month to provide peppermint for normal growth. If you want soil culture, wait for the root system to grow to two or three centimeters.

Someone has asked if it needs to add a nutrient solution or something. According to the situation, I have tried to add it before, but if I can't grasp the quantity, it is easy to burn roots and leaves! So give up decisively, we'll talk about it later if you need it.
