The cut small Chlorophytum can be cultured in water, which is easy to operate and has a high survival rate. The seedlings with air rooting should be put into the container, and half of the water should be added for hydroponics. Leaves can't be put in the water, and water should be changed about 2 days, and rotten roots should be cut off in time. When the root system grows to 3-5cm, some nutrient solution can be added appropriately.

I. can we do hydroponics?

The cut small Chlorophytum can be hydroponically cultured, but also can be soil cultured. The operation is not only very convenient, but also has a high survival rate. However, when hydroponics, it should be noted that leaves can not be placed in water, and it is easy to have rotten leaves. Not only that, it can also breed bacteria to affect plant growth.

How to do hydroponics?

1. Selection of seedlings: when cutting off the small Chlorophytum, the seedlings with air rooting should be used, so that the survival rate will be improved during hydroponics

2. Select container: select the container corresponding to the plant size. It is recommended to use transparent container for hydroponics, which is not only ornamental, but also can observe the growth degree of root system. In addition, try to use the container with bottleneck, it can fix the small Chlorophytum well.

3. Proper amount of water: the water in the container should not be too much, and the water level should be controlled well. Generally, the water level is more than half or one third of the root system of Chlorophytum. The remaining root system can absorb oxygen very well, which is very helpful for its growth.

4. Daily maintenance: water should be changed frequently at the beginning of hydroponics. Generally, water should be changed once in about 2 days. When the roots grow to 3-5cm, you can add some nutrient solution when changing water. And the rotten root system will be cut off, but also often clean the inside of the container.
