Planting timeFor plants, the right planting time means comfortable temperature and light conditions. Planting at a reasonable time can provide the plants with a better growth environment and ensure better growth. The fruits of water chestnut usually mature in September and October. At this time, you can pick its fruits, take out the seeds and preserve them well, and then plant them in April of the following year when spring comes and flowers bloom. Around March, the seeds can be germinated to increase their germination rate. Container PlantingWhen growing water chestnuts at home, you can choose to use a larger basin or water tank. The container does not need to be deep, 30cm~50cm is enough. The containers used can be sterilized before planting. First put a layer of pond mud at the bottom of the pot. It doesn’t need to be too thick to fix the roots and provide nutrients. Be careful not to use too much soil, otherwise it will have a counterproductive effect. Sprinkle the seeds lightly on the soil surface, making sure to spread them evenly. The specific amount needs to be determined according to the size of the container used. Cover the seeds with a layer of fine sand. The thickness should be moderate, not too thick or too thin. Pour water into the container until it is 90% full. If the amount of water is not enough, the container wall will block the sunlight, and the young plants cannot get enough light. If the amount of water is too much, it will easily spill out and be inconvenient to carry. It may also cause the leaves to float out of the container, affecting the appearance. Pond PlantingTo plant water chestnuts in a pond, drain the water first. Then spread a layer of sediment on the bottom of the pond to anchor the roots. Submerge the seeds in the bottom mud and then fill the pond with water. The water depth should be about 40cm. After about a month, floating leaves will grow out. Post-production careTo take good care of water chestnuts, the most important thing is to pay attention to sunlight and water. Water chestnut prefers sunlight. Do not block the light at ordinary times. Give it sufficient light so that it can grow well. As an aquatic plant, it must not lack water. You should add water to the container or pond regularly to ensure that it has enough moisture, otherwise it will dry up easily. In addition, weeds and debris in the water must be removed in time to ensure a good growth environment for it. |
