The centipede grass is very easy to obtain and especially easy to grow. Sometimes it is even thrown into a spare tank just to add a touch of green to the fish tank. However, it grows very fast. As long as the water quality is suitable, it will grow wildly under normal circumstances and basically needs to be trimmed once a week. How to cultivate centipede grass water plantsThe lighting for centipede grass can be replaced by light tubes. The initial lighting time should be controlled at about 4 hours a day. After the water plants adapt to the light, the daily lighting time should be maintained at 8-10 hours. When fertilizing, add some base fertilizer to the sandy river soil or mud as the soil for the growth of centipede grass. Install a filter in the water to filter out impurities in the water and change the water every 5-7 days. 1. Fixing water plants: Centipede water grass is an aquatic plant, which is usually fixed with expanded clay or water-sinking wood. If it is expanded clay, you can directly fix the roots of the centipede water grass with the expanded clay. If it is sinking wood, you need to use wire or rope to fix it. You can also use relatively fine river sand for planting. 2. Supplementary lighting: Centipede grass cannot be placed in a location exposed to direct sunlight. During normal maintenance, it should be placed in a location indoors that is not exposed to direct sunlight, and then supplemented with light. After it is first planted, 4-5 hours of light a day is enough. As it grows in the later stage, gradually increase the light exposure time. 3. Carbon dioxide: Aquatic plants need to consume the carbon dioxide in the water during their growth process before they can release oxygen. You can add carbon dioxide concentrate tablets to the water to increase the carbon dioxide content in the water, or you can use carbon dioxide tanks to supplement carbon. When there is sufficient carbon dioxide, the growth of aquatic plants will be very rapid, and they will continue to release oxygen bubbles. 4. Perform pruning: Centipede grass is an upright aquatic plant that needs to be trimmed frequently during maintenance, otherwise its growth will be out of control and will also affect its ornamental value. When trimming, you can use special scissors for trimming aquatic plants to directly cut off the overly long parts and then clean them out of the water. 5. Supplement nutrients: The main source of nutrients for centipede grass is from water. If it is not fertilized for a long time, it will grow slowly. You can add liquid fertilizer to the water. The concentration should not be too high each time. It is best to choose colorless liquid fertilizer, otherwise it will affect the water quality. Centipede grass water grass maintenance matters needing attentionWhen caring for centipede grass, you should first pay attention to water maintenance and ensure the stability and cleanliness of the water quality to ensure its growth. If it is planted in a fish tank, try to choose some clean bottom sand and wash it several times before using it. Then, regularly add nutrient solution to the water to ensure the nutrients. |
