Four care secrets for the aquarium bottle

Secret one

The sand must be washed clean

The sand and gravel used for the base soil need to be washed clean before use. Wash the sand as you would wash rice, until the water becomes clear.

Editor's tip: After deciding the amount of base soil to use, wash it repeatedly first. For soil-based base soil, it is just the opposite: because it dissolves in water, it cannot be washed with water.

Secret two

Add a neutralizer before planting aquatic plants

After deciding the basic layout, add a neutralizer to the water in the bottle to remove the bleaching powder from the tap water. If you forget to add the neutralizer, the aquatic plants will become weak and feeble because of the chlorine (bleaching powder) in the water.

Editor's tip: It is best to use water that has been left to sit for a day in advance and treated with a neutralizer to remove the bleach to raise the aquatic plants. This will greatly increase the survival rate of the aquatic plants.

Secret three

Use tweezers to hold the aquatic plant at an angle and insert it into the base soil

When planting aquatic plants, use tweezers to hold the roots of the aquatic plant at an angle and insert them deeply into the base soil 3~5cm, then gently pull out the tweezers to prevent accidentally pulling the aquatic plant out.

Editor's tip: It is very difficult to plant aquatic plants that deep with your hands or chopsticks, and it easily causes the aquatic plants to float out due to buoyancy, so it is best not to use them.

Secret four

Use the handle of a soup spoon for fine adjustments

When adding base soil to the bottle, using the handle of a spoon makes fine adjustments easier than with an ordinary shovel. Moreover, using a spoon allows you to precisely spread the base soil in a certain position. As long as the tools are used properly, making an aquarium bottle can be made easier.

Isn't the editor very thoughtful? I have paid attention to all of this for the balcony friends.

Many times, the editor focuses on the detailed production steps of various planting techniques, but problems can only be discovered, raised, and finally solved during the process of the balcony friends trying it themselves.

So, if balcony friends have any questions related to planting techniques, come and ask the editor freely and without restraint! Wahahaha...
