Its roots can be trimmed, especially for hydroponics. If it is cultivated in water for a long time, the roots will grow in a disorderly manner and increase in number, which will not only affect the appearance but also the water absorption function will become poor. Pruning will improve the transport function and absorb more nutrients from the water, but be careful not to prune too much, otherwise it will affect normal growth.
