How to hydroponically cultivate mosquito repellent grass

first step

Choose strong branches for pruning. Choose an oblique cut to increase the water-contacting area of ​​the cut. Then cut off the lower leaves and leave a few leaves on the top.

Step 2

Drill a small hole in the foam that is the same thickness as the plant, and then insert the mosquito repellent grass branch. Pour a certain amount of water into the hydroponic container, and then place the mosquito repellent grass branches into the hydroponic container. The foam board can not only fix the plants, but also reduce water evaporation. In addition, it should be noted that the length of the branches of the mosquito repellent grass entering the water should not be too long. It is recommended to disinfect the hydroponic bottle before use.

Step 3

The water needs to be changed every four or five days. When changing the water, pay attention to the cleaning and disinfection of the hydroponic container. In addition, in order to ensure the health of the hydroponic branches, the rotten or secreted substances and branch and leaf tissues on the branches must be cleaned up in time. You can spray a little water on the leaves of the paper strip from time to time. It is recommended to use purified water for hydroponics, or you can add a little nutrient solution into it.

Step 4

If you do daily care well, you can usually see the mosquito repellent grass taking root in about 15-30 days. When you see that the roots are growing healthily, you can transplant them in time. It is not recommended to place them in the sun in the first week after potting. Wait until the plant grows new leaves. At this time, you can be sure that the mosquito repellent grass is growing healthily, and then you can put it outdoors to receive sunlight.
