This is a plant that can be grown at home, and as an ornamental plant, some flower lovers are especially fond of it. But some flower lovers have had enough of the murky water next to the plant when growing it, and want to see the plant clearly. So someone asked, can it be grown directly in water? Is it possible without soil? Here we answer for you whether it really works or not.

1. Is it possible:

In theory, yes. The soil exists only to anchor the plant's roots and to provide the nutrients it needs, and these nutrients can now be replaced. Whether at the flower market or on Taobao, you can find nutrient solutions; this liquid is rich in elements and can be used for water cultivation.

If you use plain water alone, the plant can grow at first, but because it lacks nutrients, it cannot absorb the substances it needs, so it will grow rather small and rather weak, and will also die quickly, and in the future it will not be able to bloom.

2. Points to note when growing in water:

1. You need an opaque container. This plant is dark-seeking, and only in a relatively dark environment can it carry out its biological processes, so for water cultivation you must prepare an opaque container.

2. A plant that floats up is very unattractive, so to keep the roots fixed in place, we can spread a layer of coarse sand or small gravel at the bottom of the container to hold the plant's roots down.

3. Since the water contains no nutrients at all, we need to buy some nutrient solution on the market and change it once a week, so as to provide the nutrition it needs to grow.

4. A plant grown in water needs careful tending. Since there is no soil, all the nutrient mixing has to be done by yourself, so do not make mistakes.
