Can red spider grass be hydroponically cultivated?

Red spider grass can be grown hydroponically. Compared with the traditional soil cultivation method, hydroponic red spider grass is much simpler to maintain and has a higher ornamental value. However, hydroponic cultivation also has its disadvantages. The long-term growth effect of hydroponic red spider grass is not as good as that of soil cultivation, and the growth is not very vigorous. You can choose according to your personal preference when cultivating.

Hydroponic cultivation method of red net grass

1. Container: Transparent glass containers are generally used for hydroponic red spider grass, so that the root growth can be seen more intuitively. Semi-transparent containers can also be used. The roots of the plants will grow faster in a dark environment.

2. Pruning: Wash the soil at the roots of red spider grass with clean water, then use scissors to cut off the old, dry and redundant roots, and keep the strong or new roots.

3. Fixation: Put the washed red spider grass into the hydroponic container, fix the upper part of the plant at the mouth of the container, and then add water to the container until the water level reaches two-thirds of the roots. Do not let the roots be completely submerged in water to prevent rot.

Precautions for growing red spider grass in water

1. Changing water: In the early stage of growing red spider grass in water, change the water once a week or so, until new roots grow and then change the water once every 4 days. The number of water changes can be appropriately reduced in winter.

2. Light: When growing red spider grass in water, the light should not be too strong and it should not be kept in the sun all the time. It is best to place it in a place indoors that is not exposed to direct sunlight.
