Phoenix eye blue has a strong asexual reproduction ability. The creeping branches from axillary buds not only form a new strain, but also form a new strain after being cut off.
When the mother plant grows to 6-8 leaves in mid spring, it begins to sprout new seedlings. First, the seedlings grow two leaves, then the main root. With the increase of leaves, the main root grows, reaching the surface of the mother plant. The stronger mother plant can tiller 4-5 new seedlings at a time, so the reproduction is very fast.
Phoenix eye blue is mainly propagated in individual plants, generally in spring. The transverse stolon is cut into several sections or several axillary buds with roots, which can survive naturally when put into water. The propagation of individual plants can be carried out easily, and the propagation coefficient is relatively high.
The sowing method is not particularly suitable for the phoenix eye blue, because the seed germination ability of the phoenix eye blue is relatively poor, and it needs to be propagated after special treatment. Generally, the sowing method is not commonly used to propagate the phoenix eye blue.
The water hyacinth grows in shallow water and fertile pond. The water hyacinth is alkali resistant and grows normally when pH value is 9. Disease resistance is also strong, extremely resistant to fertilizer, good population, water depth of about 30 cm is appropriate.
The suitable temperature for the growth of Eichhornia is 15 ℃ to 30 ℃. If the temperature is lower than 10 ℃, the growth will stop. If the temperature is 39 ℃, the growth of Eichhornia will be inhibited. It is usually planted in shallow water or pot.
Because of the poor cold resistance of phoenix eye blue, it is easy to wither outdoors in late autumn, so it should be protected before frost, transferred to cold room water for maintenance, and put into the pool the next year.
The potted phoenix eye blue should make the root system slightly embedded in the soil, and supplement the organic fertilizer regularly and quantitatively in the growth period to provide sufficient light, which can make the growth of phoenix eye blue strong and blossom more and more.
