The green ivy has a "little mechanism". If you turn it on, it will grow to 1 meter in two months!

The "little mechanism" of the green ivy turns out to be this!

The picture below shows a 1-meter-long green ivy that grew in a flower lover's home in just half a month. Huahua took a closer look and saw that the branches were covered with thick "little mustaches". These are not common, they are all aerial roots of the green ivy!

Awesome, flower lovers. Huahua has never seen such thick aerial roots of green ivy. They are usually 3-5 cm long and can grow to more than ten centimeters long. It would be strange if they don’t climb wildly if placed on the wall!

If the green ivy grows aerial roots, it means that the surrounding environment is very suitable for its growth. At this time, if you give it a little nutrients, it will grow wildly on its own. Without any worry, you can grow a green ivy wall. Flower lovers, don’t just envy it, let’s learn how to grow aerial roots!

Open the small mechanism, and the roots of the green radish will burst into

1. Drink some grape wine and you will grow into Spider-Man

This summer I became a flower lover who enjoyed wine. The grape residue and seeds left over from drinking wine can be soaked in boiled water and placed in a plastic bottle for 1-2 weeks to turn into acidic fertilizer. Dilute water with 1:20 to water the green radish, and it will immediately be full of nutrients and grow aerial roots~

For flower lovers who don’t make wine, you can soak the leftover grape skins in boiled water and put them in a plastic bottle to ferment into acid fertilizer water. After 2-3 weeks, dilute with water in the ratio of 1:20 to water the green radish, or rub the leaves with the water to use as foliar fertilizer.

2. Astigmatism + water control, hold back the air roots

Although the green ivy is shade-tolerant, it also likes a brighter environment, which is conducive to photosynthesis, so it is best to grow it on a windowsill with diffuse light. Combined with proper water control, instead of watering once every 2-3 days, we water once every 3-5 days, and aerial roots will soon pop out!

As we all know, green ivy likes a humid environment. Watering the soil in the pot will not only cause the roots to rot, but also make it difficult for aerial roots to grow. While controlling the water, spray more water around the leaves to create a humid air environment, and the aerial roots will emerge.

3. Find a "backer" and the aerial roots will grow quickly

If you find that the green radish has aerial roots, quickly find a "backer" for it. The common palm bark pillars are the best, which are breathable and moisturizing. When watering, just water the pillars. The aerial roots of the green radish will pierce the pillars by themselves, climb along the poles, and soon become green radish pillars~

What else can the green radish do besides climbing walls?

Some flower lovers think that aerial roots are ugly. If you don’t want the green ivy to climb the wall, you will want to cut off the aerial roots... Don’t cut them, because the aerial roots of the green ivy are very useful!

1. Absorb more nutrients, each leaf is as big as a palm

The nutrients in a pot of soil or a bottle of water are limited. If the green radish is grown solely in pot soil or water, it will definitely grow slowly, and the new leaves will be small and dull in color. It would be different if a branch had aerial roots. They could absorb nutrients from the air and ensure that every leaf could grow!

2. It is conducive to cutting and can achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Just cut off a piece of green radish with aerial roots, the survival rate of water plugging is 99%, and the roots grow quickly. Don't worry about the problem of yellow leaves. The green radish will grow well naturally if the root system is strong.

The green radish with aerial roots can also be grown in soil. Remember to insert the aerial roots downwards into the soil and water them thoroughly to take root. The green radish will be full of life in 3-5 days.
