How to grow a pot of green radish in water

1. Choose branches

It is very common to grow it at home. You don’t need to spend money to buy it. You can directly cut the branches and cultivate it. Both hydroponics and soil cultivation are possible. Hydroponics is simpler. Cut some strong branches from plants in good growth condition, with the cuts close to the nodes. It is best to have aerial roots and a length of about 15 cm to facilitate later rooting and growth.

2. Processing branches

Clean the cut branches to keep the water pure during cultivation. During the operation, be careful to ensure the integrity of the leaves and do not damage them.

3. Container and water quality

The container must be transparent. You can use a glass bottle or a plastic bottle to ensure that the changes in the root system can be clearly seen. There are no excessive requirements for water quality, and you can use mineral water or tap water. Note that tap water needs to be allowed to stand and cannot be used directly.

4. Carry out hydroponics

Choose summer and autumn when the temperature is relatively high and more suitable for growth. Fill the container with about five centimeters of water, not too deep, to ensure that the aerial roots can be soaked. After completion, place it in a diffuse light environment, pay attention to ventilation conditions, and wait for about ten days. The aerial roots will gradually grow into roots, so that one root can become a whole pot.
