Spider plant aquaculture is a clean and hygienic and ornamental breeding method, which can allow spider plants to absorb sufficient water and maintain vigorous vitality. The following is an easy way to raise spider plants in water:
Choose a transparent container, such as a glass or plastic bottle, so that you can observe the root growth of the spider plant and let the roots receive sunlight.
Take the soil-cultured spider plant out of the pot, wash the root system, and prune off the dead roots, diseased roots, diseased leaves, and residual leaves with sterilized scissors. Then soak the pruned spider plant root system in potassium permanganate solution for 10 minutes to sterilize.
Put the treated spider plant in a transparent container and add enough water to make sure the water level is moderate. In the initial stage, the water should be changed frequently, every 2-3 days, and the water change time can be appropriately extended after the spider plant grows new roots, and the water can be changed once every two weeks.
Place the spider plant in a place with plenty of scattered light, away from direct sunlight. In summer, avoid sun exposure to avoid sunburn. The suitable temperature for water-raised spider plants is 15-25 degrees. In winter, the maintenance temperature should be ensured to be above 10 degrees, and the spider plant can be put into the heating room for maintenance if conditions permit.
Every time you change the water, check the root system of the spider plant, and cut it off in time if there is any decay. It is recommended to prune the root system every time the water is changed to facilitate the growth of the spider plant to better absorb water.
At each change of water, 2 drops of nutrient solution were added to the hydroponic bottle to replenish nutrients for spider plants.
Through the above simple methods, the spider plant can be successfully cultivated in water, so that it can thrive in a clean and hygienic environment.
