The leaves of the green radish are as big as 10 palms. Look how people grow them!

1. How to grow green radish?

1. Fertile soil: It is best to choose loose, breathable, fertile, and slightly acidic soil.

You can choose a mixture of leaf mold, perlite and garden soil in a ratio of 3:1:1.

2. Avoid excessive exposure to the sun: Chlorophytum cochinchinensis is not a sun-loving plant and grows better in a semi-shady environment. It is best to receive 6 hours of scattered light every day, otherwise it will turn yellow.

It can be placed against the wall on the south balcony, or about 3 meters away from the window in the living room.

3. Water frequently: Chlorophytum likes moisture, so water it once every 3-5 days. It depends on the size of the pot and the weather.

For example, plants in large pots should be watered less frequently, while plants in small pots should be watered more quickly. When the weather is warm and dry, you can water more often. When it is cold and rainy, reduce the amount of watering.

2. Why does hydroponics always fail?

1. Choose the right water: use purified water, or clean tap water that has been left to dry for more than a day.

2. Prune the root system: It is not a good thing for the roots of the green radish to grow too long, as it will affect nutrient absorption and make it easy to rot. Prune the roots once a month. Cut off old roots, rotten roots and moldy roots, being careful not to damage the white tender roots.

3. Change the water frequently: Change the water once a week. After new roots grow, add nutrient solution in time to promote growth.

4. Sun exposure: Many people’s hydroponic green radish does not grow for a long time, which may be because it does not see the sun. Although the green radish is shade-tolerant, it does not mean that it likes shade. You still need to get some sun exposure regularly every day so that you can grow up.

5. Smart fertilization: Water the plant with more fish water on a regular basis, and the leaves will grow very big with a pleasing dark green color. For example, the large-leafed green ivy below has been watered with fish farming water.

3. 3 hydroponic methods, 100% success

1. Hydroponics

Cut off the overly dense branches and leaves, put them in water, pour some rooting powder, and they will take root in about 7 days.

2. Circle-shaped cutting method

1. Cut a green radish branch into several sections, leaving 1 to 2 leaves on each section.

2. Bury the seeds in circles in the soil, water them thoroughly, and keep the soil moist. Pay attention to proper shading.

3. In about 8 days, the roots will emerge. Just maintain it as usual and wait for it to bloom.

3. Ordinary cutting method

1. The first choice is vermiculite, perlite, plain sand and coconut bran. All soil used for cuttings must be clean and sterile.

If a pot of sand has had plants infected with black rot or other pathogens, it is best not to use it. Even if you want to use it, you must cook it at high temperature and expose it to the sun before use. Otherwise the survival rate of cuttings will be reduced.

2. It is advisable to choose branches with buds and aerial roots.

These are the small bumps and white roots that grow on the branches and stems, which usually appear when the air is relatively humid. Such branches have a high survival rate and will germinate quickly afterwards.

3. Cut the green radish branches into several pieces, about 8 cm in length. It can be planted without leaves, but it must have buds and aerial roots.

4. Bury it vertically in the soil and water it thoroughly.

5. Water every day. You can put a plastic bag over the pot to keep it moist and warm. New leaves will grow in about 10 days.

4. Do this quickly to prevent root rot

1. Regardless of whether it is hydroponics or soil cultivation, there is a possibility of root rot. First, rinse the roots clean and cut off rotten roots and leaves.

2. For hydroponic culture, clean the hydroponic bottle. For soil culture, replace the loose, breathable and clean soil and repot it.

3. Grind up a piece of metronidazole or get some carbendazim, throw it into the water for hydroponics, and add water to the roots for soil cultivation.

5. What should I do if the leaves turn yellow?

1. The leaves are dark yellow, lack luster, and the new leaves are shrunken because of excessive watering. Yellow and rotten leaves should be cut off immediately, watering should be reduced, and the plant should be moved to a ventilated location.

2. The leaf edges are drying up, the old leaves are turning yellow and falling off, and the new leaves are healthy. This is because there is too little watering. The amount of watering should be increased appropriately.

3. The leaf tips dry up, yellow spots appear, and the entire leaves turn yellow, which is due to excessive light. It should be moved to semi-shade or receive only diffuse light.

4. The stems and leaves are thin and weak, and the overall leaves are dark yellow, which means there is too little light. Move out of dark environment immediately.

Finally, let’s appreciate the big-leafed green radish from the master’s house!
