Can forget-me-nots be grown hydroponically?

1. Is it possible and why

Recently, many friends like to grow plants in water. Because, with the backdrop of clear water, the whole plant will look more beautiful. Moreover, it is also effective if placed in places such as windowsills. Especially when the light shines down, the water surface will emit dazzling light, which is very beautiful.

However, this plant is not suitable for hydroponics. Because its characteristics are similar to those of cactus. They both have low water requirements and are very drought tolerant. If you keep it in water, it is likely to cause root rot. By then, not only will the ornamental value be reduced, but the entire plant may die. For it, it is best to grow it in soil.

2. How to plant and what to pay attention to

(1) Time: September to January of the following year is the best time.

(2) Soil: For plants grown in soil, the choice of soil is very important. The requirements of being nutritious, loose and breathable, and having strong drainage properties must be met. In addition, according to its habits, the soil needs to be alkaline. Acidic conditions are not suitable for its growth.

(3) Note: After preparing the soil and seeds, you can sow them. However, it should be noted that its seeds are photophobic. Therefore, after sowing, you need to cover it with a thin layer of soil. Humidity must be maintained, temperature should be between 20 and 25 degrees, and ventilation must be guaranteed. It will germinate after about ten to fifteen days.
