Hydroponic Brazilian wood scam, does hydroponic Brazilian wood need to be soaked in water all the time?

1. Hydroponic Brazilian Wood Scam

The hydroponic rubber trees that are popular in the market now, some unscrupulous merchants will sell branches pruned from the dragon blood trees. If there are buds on the wooden stakes, they may sprout and grow new seedlings. If the cut branches have no buds, then even with more care, they will not be able to sprout and grow leaves smoothly. The young shoots of the rubber tree rely on the nutrients and water stored in the wood stump itself. If not enough water and nutrients are supplied, the growth of the rubber tree may be affected.

2. Does the hydroponic Brazilian wood always stay in water?

The hydroponic rubber tree can be soaked in water all the time, but it is best not to soak it in water all the time. If the wooden stakes are soaked in water for a long time, the parts of the wooden stakes that are in direct contact with water may be rotten, thus affecting its growth. It is best to switch to soil culture after one year of cultivation. Before converting the hydroponic rubber tree to soil culture, you need to take the rubber tree out of the water, trim off part of the root system, retain the strong root system, soak it in a solution of carbendazim, and then place it in a cool and ventilated place to dry. Prepare the soil for planting. You can mix nutrient soil, river sand and river mud in a ratio of 3:1:1 and put the soil in the sun to dry for 2 days. Transplant the rubber tree into the soil, water the soil thoroughly, place it in a ventilated and diffused light environment, and gradually increase the light after the rubber tree has taken root.
