How to grow watercress

1. Planting method

Watercress can be directly propagated by cuttings. Cut its stems into 10-15 cm lengths, with each section having approximately 3-5 nodes. Then insert them 3-5 cm into the soil. It is best to keep the stems close to the soil surface. Finally, water them thoroughly to ensure that the soil is moist. Transplanting is generally done one month after cuttings.

2. Breeding environment

1. Soil: Loose clay loam is best for growing watercress, and neutral soil is best.

2. Light: It likes sunlight and needs sufficient light during the growth period to promote photosynthesis. If there is insufficient light, it will lead to poor growth of stems and leaves.

3. Temperature: Provide it with a growth environment of 15-25℃. Controlling the temperature at 20℃ will be more conducive to its growth. If the temperature is below 10℃ or above 30℃, it will grow slowly. If the temperature continues to be low or high, the plant may die.
