How do you care for lucky bamboo and pennywort? Water them with this kind of water for lush, vibrant green leaves and branches
As living standards improve, many people keep some green plants and flowers at home, and some flower lovers who find it troublesome and prefer to keep things clean choose hydroponic plants instead. Lucky bamboo (Dracaena sanderiana) and pennywort (Hydrocotyle vulgaris) are common hydroponic plants with high ornamental value, and they also carry meanings such as wealth and peace, and health and longevity.
With the arrival of autumn and winter, keeping lucky bamboo and pennywort in good shape still requires certain skills, especially proper and reasonable nutrition. Today Hua'er will introduce a kind of "water" that is especially suitable for caring for lucky bamboo and pennywort, making the branches and leaves emerald green and grow like crazy!
This kind of "water" is eggshell solution, because eggshells are rich in phosphorus, which can increase the plant's resistance, make the root system grow more robust, and also help new shoots sprout. It is simply perfect for growing hydroponic foliage plants such as lucky bamboo and pennywort.
The specific method: collect some eggshells, first wash them clean with water, then crush them and put them into a container, add water to soak, and you can add some vinegar and orange peel to speed up fermentation. After sealing, leave it for about one month.
When using it, take the supernatant liquid, and according to the water in the hydroponic bottle, add the eggshell solution at a ratio of 10:1, 3-4 times a month.
For lucky bamboo and pennywort, in addition to sufficient nutrients, sufficient iron is also needed so they can synthesize more chlorophyll and prevent the branches and leaves from turning yellow and drying at the tips. Therefore, every month you also need to spray a 0.3% ferrous sulfate solution on the branches and leaves 1-2 times, so the plants can better absorb iron.
That is all for the care of hydroponic plants. If flower lovers have other additions, you can share them with everyone in the comment section below. To learn more about flower-growing knowledge, you can follow Huajianke!
