Water cultivation tips

After washing the roots, change the water every 3 to 4 days. You can put in a few pieces of charcoal for preservation. Do not move the position or change the direction within 10 days. Silvery-white fibrous roots will grow in about 15 days.

It is not advisable to change the water after rooting, and water can only be added in time after the water evaporates. Frequent water changes can easily cause yellowing leaves and wilting branches, as well as root rot.

It is best to inject a few drops of brandy into the bottle every 3 weeks or so and add a small amount of nutrient solution; you can also dissolve half a tablet of powdered aspirin or a tablet of vitamin C in 500 grams of water , and add a few drops when adding water to keep the leaves green.
