2. How do you grow moneywort hydroponically?

1. Flower pot

You may think flower pots are all about the same and there is no need to choose. Indeed, most flower pots differ only in appearance, and there are only a few materials in total, but relatively speaking, moneywort has rather special requirements for its pot: the container it is grown in must not have a small hole in the bottom. In addition, if you choose a glass pot, the effect will be a little better. This is because this plant needs a lot of water.

2. Water

Moneywort can be grown without soil, but if you cultivate it in water, you have to control the water level. A water amount about 1 cm above the bottom of the pot is just right. As for water quality requirements, it is not fussy; there is no need to choose water with mineral elements, ordinary groundwater will do. In addition, the frequency of changing the water also directly affects the growth of this plant. Here it is suggested that once a week is enough.

3. Nutrient solution

Adding nutrient solution regularly is necessary. Although it is also dripped into the water, it is suggested that you dilute it first. Only then will the leaves of the moneywort you grow be glossy.

4. Sunlight

Just refer to the frequency of changing the water for the frequency of sunlight exposure; it is likewise once a week, and too much is not suitable. Although moneywort is small, it can also purify the air through its own photosynthesis.

3. How many days until moneywort germinates?

Sowing method 1: Pour the seeds into a small container, add just enough water to cover the seeds. If the temperature is low, wrap it with plastic wrap, change the water frequently, and place it in a cool, ventilated place. After four or five days it will germinate. Once the sprouts grow to about 1 cm, you can plant them.

Sowing method 2: Soak the seeds in a small amount of water for half an hour. Put soil in a pot, water it thoroughly, then pour the seeds together with the water they were soaked in into the pot, trying to pour them evenly and not in a pile. Cover with a thin layer of soil, spray with water 2 times a day, just enough to keep the surface moist. Place it in a warm, dark place, and they will sprout in about three days. Once true leaves grow, they can be transplanted for hydroponic growing.
