How to grow water banyan

1. Breeding environment

1. Light: It can still grow even in weak light, but it can grow stronger as long as there is sufficient light.

2. Water quality: The water hardness must be high. If it grows in soft water without lime, its roots will rot. If you keep fish, you can't keep too many of them, otherwise their excrement will be deposited in the water, causing algae to form and compete with the water for nutrients.

3. Fertilizer: The base bed needs sufficient base fertilizer and liquid fertilizer, because the roots of the water fig absorb 70% of the nutrients, while the leaves only account for 30%.

4. Temperature: To ensure suitable growth temperature, generally control it at around 22-30℃.

2. Breeding Methods

Propagation by division: Break off the stems and leaves from its stem, keeping the roots at the bottom, plant them separately in a sink pot, and then cover them with bottom sand. If you are worried about the roots rotting, you can soak them in a vitamin B12 solution for about ten minutes. In fact, as long as it has roots it can survive.

3. Common causes of root rot

There are many reasons for root rot: generally it is due to changes in water hardness or lack of light, lack of fertilizer, etc. First, we must find out the cause, and then carry out targeted treatment, and adjust the breeding conditions in time to alleviate the root rot.
