How to pronounce NymphoidesYes, this is the "uneven water chestnuts, flowing left and right" that appears in the Book of Songs. This word is pronounced "xìng" and is an aquatic herb of the Gentianaceae family. The leaves of water chestnut are round or oval, float on the water, and have many branches. Small yellow flowers bloom from May to August every year. How to cultivate water chestnutsIf you like aquatic plants, you can find a large tank or a spacious pot and plant a pot of water chestnuts for both viewing and eating. Choice of flower potsJust like planting water lilies, you can choose a deeper water depth of about 40 cm, and at least not less than 10 cm. When planting, put a small amount of river pond mud in the container to fix the roots. Sunlight requirementsThe maintenance of water chestnut is relatively extensive. It is necessary to ensure sufficient sunlight. Most families will place water chestnut in the courtyard for maintenance. It can grow well with normal sunlight and does not need shading. Water requirementsWhen growing water chestnuts, there must not be a lack of water, otherwise the leaves will dry up. Pour water into the container frequently. During the growth period, remove debris from the water in time to keep the water clean. In winter, make sure there is sufficient water in the container and place it in a sunny place indoors to safely overwinter. Precautions for water chestnut cultivationInsulationThe temperature in the north is relatively low in winter. Although water chestnut has a certain degree of cold resistance, it cannot turn green and grow normally in spring if the temperature is below -10℃. So after winter, move the flower pots to a warm place, or cover them with plastic film to keep them warm. Weeding and fertilizationDuring the growth period, top dressing is only required 1 to 2 times, not too frequently, to promote the growth and development of the plants. In addition, it is necessary to prevent and control aphids in a timely manner, ensure good ventilation, and deal with aphids in a timely manner when they are found. |
