Can Schefflera be hydroponically cultivated?

Schefflera can be grown in water. It can either grow roots through water cultivation of branches, or it can grow roots in water after washing the roots of soil-grown plants. It is a water-loving plant, so the survival rate of hydroponics of Schefflera is higher than that of soil-grown plants.

Methods and key points of hydroponic cultivation of Schefflera

1. Select a few vigorous branches from the main branches of the Schefflera. After pruning, make sure to keep a few leaves on the branches, trim off the withered leaves at the bottom, soak them in rooting water, disinfect them, and then dry them.

2. Place the processed branches into a carefully selected glass container and pour 3/1 water into it, submerging only the bottom branches in the water. Add a few drops of nutrient solution to the water and finally place it in a diffuse light or semi-shaded environment for observation.

Precautions for water-raising Schefflera

1. When Schefflera is just being grown in water, the frequency of water changes is most frequent, every 2 days. After it takes root, the water should be changed every 7 days. If Schefflera is grown in soil and then grown in water, the water can be changed every 5 days.

2. Try to ensure that the Schefflera is placed hydroponically on a windowsill with sufficient light. At the same time, clean the Schefflera slightly every time you change the water to avoid the growth of bacteria.

3. The water quality requirements for water-growing Schefflera are very high. You can choose to cultivate it directly with purified water, or you can choose to use tap water that has been exposed to the sun. In addition, when changing the water for Schefflera in winter, the water temperature should be close to the indoor temperature.
