Is it better to grow green radish in water or soil?

1. Water culture method

It can be grown in water all year round. Select a branch of about 10 cm, preferably one with aerial roots, and insert it in a bottle. New roots will grow quickly. At the beginning, you need to change the water frequently. If you use tap water, remember to dry it in advance. Once its roots grow out, you can slow down the water change time.

2. Benefits of water culture

1. Compared with the method of growing it in soil, growing it in water can make it grow roots more quickly.

2. Because it does not require soil and water is cleaner than soil, the environment in the home where it is grown in water will be more hygienic.

3. If you grow it in soil, you still need to water it, but this step is not necessary if you grow it in water. After the water cultivation is on the right track, you don’t need to change the water frequently, which is especially convenient for people who don’t have much time.

3. Disadvantages of water culture

1. Although the growth rate of water-grown plants is faster than that of soil-grown plants in the later stage, the growth rate is very slow in the early stage because nutrients are relatively lacking and the growth rate is even slower. Even if a lot of nutrients are added in the early stage, the growth rate is not as fast as that of soil-grown plants.

2. Because of the growth conditions, the water-grown method looks greener, lighter in color, and more delicate.

4. Soil-raising method

First of all, you need to choose soil with excellent drainage and very loose soil, then choose woody branches, and you can also add some root-promoting agents to make it grow roots faster. In the early stage, it should be placed in a cool area and not exposed to direct strong sunlight. It will take about twenty days for roots to grow, and you can maintain it normally ten days after the roots grow.

5. Advantages of soil culture

1. Plants grown in soil grow stronger, absorb nutrients from the soil, and their leaves become greener.

2. If grown in soil, the growth will be relatively slow in the early stage before the roots grow out, but after the roots grow well, the growth will be much faster.

6. Disadvantages of soil culture

Soil cultivation requires the owner to be more careful and take more maintenance measures. It is necessary to grasp the condition of the flower soil in a timely manner. Too much water will easily cause the roots to rot, and too little water will easily cause the leaves to wilt.
