How to prune hydroponic green radish

1. Can it be trimmed?

1. Many people think that this kind of flower grown in water does not need to be pruned and cannot be pruned. In fact, this is wrong. Its root system is very developed, so it is necessary to trim its roots. Otherwise, roots that are too long will absorb nutrients in the water too quickly, causing them to grow wildly, which is not good for the growth of its leaves, so they must be cut shorter.

2. If its leaves grow too densely, they need to be trimmed, otherwise they will block the space in the water and cause O2 deficiency. At the same time, rotten or dense roots also need to be cut off so as not to affect its healthy growth.

3. One thing to note is that the air is relatively cold in the severe winter. If you trim the roots at this time, it will grow very slowly, which is not good for it, so it is best to wait until spring to trim it.
