Pothos and pennywort: dig a hole, pour in some water, and they suddenly go wild, with leaves bigger than 5 coins

How to grow pothos semi-soil, semi-water?

Gardening friends often worry about why their pothos just will not survive, whether grown in soil or in water. Do not worry, today Huahua will teach you a great method: semi-soil, semi-water! Come take a look!

Steps:

1. Using sterilized scissors, cut stems from the pothos plant. Each stem section should be about 7-10cm long, and each section only needs to keep 2-3 leaves.

2. Put the trimmed pothos stems into a carbendazim solution to disinfect for 20-40 minutes, then place them in a cool, ventilated place to let the wounds dry.

3. Prepare a somewhat large flower pot or fish tank. First add nutrient soil to the bottom; you can also mix some sand into the nutrient soil. The height should be about 1/3 of the pot. Then pour water into the pot until the water level reaches about 2/3 of the pot's height.

4. Insert the pothos stems with dried wounds into the soil, making sure the lower ends of the stems are in the soil, the middle sections of the stems are in the water, and the upper stems and leaves are in the air. To prevent the pothos stems from leaning, you can also add some small stones on the soil surface to hold them in place.

5. Place the pothos in a spot indoors with good scattered light for care. When you see the water has dried up, add more water. Every 1-2 weeks, you can toss 3-5 granules of compound fertilizer into the water, and the pothos will quickly fill out its pot!

How to grow pennywort semi-soil, semi-water?

Huahua usually likes growing pennywort the most, since it is very easy to keep alive. Even if it accidentally lacks water and its leaves droop, as long as you give it 1 thorough watering, the stems will immediately stand upright again. It is super easy to grow!

Steps:

1. First, prepare a large flower pot. Because semi-soil, semi-water pennywort grows very fast and fills out its pot very quickly, you must prepare a somewhat larger flower pot. The bottom of the pot should not have holes. Then prepare nutrient soil.

2. Put the prepared nutrient soil into the flower pot, about 2-4cm thick, then insert a section of pennywort rhizome into the soil.

3. Add water on top of the soil, with the water level about 1-2cm above the soil. In about 2-4 days, you will find that one semi-soil, semi-water pennywort rhizome has grown 2 runners.

4. If you want the pennywort to grow quickly, about once every 1 week, add compound fertilizer to the water, 1-2 granules each time. (The white dots in the picture are compound fertilizer granules.)

5. Wait until the pennywort grows more and more and the roots gradually begin to emerge above the water. At this point, you can add more soil to cover all the roots.

6. Place the pennywort on a south-facing windowsill, and turn the pot about once every 1 week to prevent the pennywort from leaning to one side. In only 1 month, you will see the pennywort fill the entire pot!

7. In addition to the usual plenty of water and plenty of sun, once you find the pennywort blooming, cut the flowers off in time to avoid consuming nutrients. Only then will the pennywort's leaves grow bigger and bigger, even bigger than coins!

How to grow lucky bamboo semi-soil, semi-water?

When lucky bamboo is mentioned, many gardening friends' first reaction is yellow leaves! Whether grown in water or in soil, lucky bamboo at home always seems prone to yellow leaves! What to do? Why not try the semi-soil, semi-water method!

Steps:

1. If the lucky bamboo at home has root rot and yellowing, first use scissors to cut off all the yellowed leaves.

2. If the lucky bamboo's roots have already rotted, cut off the rotten parts and let it grow roots again. You can use a sterilized knife to cut at a 45° angle, increasing the contact area between the lucky bamboo and the water surface, thereby promoting root growth.

3. Prepare a somewhat tall bottle. Put about 2-4cm of sterilized fine sand at the bottom of the bottle, then place the lucky bamboo into the bottle so that the bottom of the lucky bamboo just touches the sand. If you do not have sand at home, you can also put small stones in the bottle.

4. Place the lucky bamboo in a bright, ventilated spot indoors, but not in direct sunlight. When you see the water become cloudy or smell bad, change the water directly. You can use mineral water or cooled boiled water, but do not use tap water directly. Because tap water contains chlorine, using it directly will cause root rot and yellow leaves.

5. After about 20 days, the lucky bamboo can grow new roots. After rooting, you can add 2-3 drops of nutrient solution every half month, and the lucky bamboo will quickly produce lots of white roots!

6. To prevent lucky bamboo from developing yellow leaves due to iron deficiency, you can also add a rusty iron nail to the bottle, or scrape the iron powder off a rusty iron nail and pour it directly into the water culture bottle. Both methods can supplement iron for the lucky bamboo.

That is all Huahua is introducing today!
