If soil culture doesn't work for potted flowers, switch to water culture: they root abundantly and quickly, and grow more vigorously the longer they go.

Autumn is here, and many flower lovers like to keep a few pots of flowers at home; they not only decorate the room but also purify the air. Many flower lovers are used to growing potted flowers in soil, but little do they know that for some potted flowers, if the roots are not well developed enough and the watering amount is not controlled well, it is very easy for the roots to become waterlogged, rot and die. If soil culture doesn't work, then you might as well throw them into water right away: they root abundantly and quickly, and grow more and more vigorously!

Take snake plant (Sansevieria trifasciata): if grown in soil, it needs very well-developed roots. We can first grow it in water; not only will the roots not rot, but the root system will be especially vigorous, and the leaves will be plump and glossy too. For a snake plant that has started to turn black and rot at the roots, we can take it out of the soil and cut off all the rotten, soft, blackened roots.

After cutting, put it in a cool, ventilated place and wait for the wounds to heal; of course, you can also apply some carbendazim to the roots to sterilize and disinfect.

Then prepare a water-culture bottle, pour in clear water that has been left standing for a few days, and let the roots of the snake plant touch just a little of the water. Generally, roots will grow in about ten days. There is no need to change the water too often: generally once every 3 days before rooting, and once every 7 days after rooting. Also, add a few drops of nutrient solution every half month, and it will grow especially fast.

Snake plant leaves are firm and upright, with gray-white and dark green tiger-tail-like horizontal banded markings on the leaf surface; its posture is resolute and it is peculiar and interesting. It has many varieties, and the plant shape and leaf color vary greatly, making it exquisite and distinctive. It is also especially good at purifying the air.

Flower lovers who like growing snake plants, take note: don't throw away snake plants with blackened, rotten roots anymore. Try this little trick, and they will grow really well. If you have any other flower-growing secrets, you can also share them with everyone in the comment box below!
