Keep these 4 plants at home; they survive as soon as they get water, root quickly, and have plump, green leaves.
Autumn is here, so here are a few plants that are suitable for growing at home. They are easy to care for, attractive, and can also be grown in water. The first is English ivy. When growing it in water, you can choose one with richly colored leaves for higher ornamental value. In summer it needs shade, and in winter just place it in a spot with plenty of light. Change the water as soon as it gets dirty.
The specific water-growing method for English ivy: choose a young English ivy shoot with aerial roots and insert it into a prepared transparent container. The water in the container should not be too much; some of the roots need to remain in the air. In the early stage of water growing, change the water frequently and do not give it light. In about 10 days it will grow water roots. For English ivy in water, it is best to use the method of rooting stem cuttings in water. The roots grown this way are not only attractive, but also avoid the root damage that occurs when washing roots.
The second is the ball cactus. Cut off all the dead roots of the ball cactus completely, with a flat cut. Rinse the soil clinging to the root and stem area clean with fresh water, place it in a dry spot to air-dry for 3 days, and after the wound is dry, dip a small amount of the roots in water and that is it. Change the water with fresh water regularly. For water-grown cactus, first use the root-washing method to grow the formed plant in water, use a heavy and stable glass vessel for water growing, and often clean the container and roots to avoid the growth of blue-green algae. In summer, change the water once every 7 days; in other seasons, the interval between water changes can be extended according to actual conditions.
Next is spider plant. Spider plant grown in water should be placed in a spot with good light, which helps rooting. For the first few days, change the water every day; after rooting, just change it when the water gets dirty. For water-grown spider plant, it is best to choose the aerial roots of plantlets growing on runners (stolons) for planting, because the aerial roots on the runners are very suitable for a water-growing environment and are easy to manage. Spider plant grown in water can sprout roots in about 5 days.
When growing spider plant in water, it is best to choose green-leaf varieties; the silver-striped spider plant is relatively difficult to handle. If you use the root-washing method or division method to grow spider plant in water, the original thick fleshy roots will rot, so you must change the water every day, clean the roots, and remove the rotten roots. In about 25-30 days, new roots can grow from the root and stem area, and the old roots gradually adapt to the water-growing environment and no longer rot. At this point, you can use nutrient solution for cultivation.
The last one is the money tree. A money tree grown in water should be placed in a bright spot indoors; a long-term shady environment will cause the money tree's leaves to drop. In winter the temperature must not be lower than 5 degrees. A plant that can be grown in water from just one fruit. The money tree is a plant grown in water and has great ornamental value. It is also relatively easy to grow and can purify indoor air. In the early stage of growing a money tree in water, pay attention to changing the water in time and pruning the roots. After rooting, pay attention to details such as light, water, and temperature.
