How do you make hydroponic pothos root quickly? These few methods are very practical
When it comes to the pothos plant, everyone is very familiar with it, it is nothing new. Among most plants, pothos is still one of the easier plants to keep alive in water. Even so, there are still many friends who cannot keep it alive. So exactly how should you grow it to get it right? Below, Shuaishuai will talk to everyone about how to make hydroponic pothos root quickly!
1. Aerial roots
1. What are aerial roots
Whether hydroponic pothos roots or not is closely related to these aerial roots. If you master the method for aerial roots, then it is as good as half the success. So where do aerial roots grow? Actually, the small raised bumps at the joints of the pothos stems are the aerial roots. As long as the aerial roots are used well, you can grow lush, vigorous green vines.
2. How to cultivate them
Aerial roots are called aerial roots, and from the name we can tell that they cannot be placed in water. We can use a bottle filled with water, then insert one end of the stem segment with aerial roots into the water. The water level must not completely cover the aerial roots; it can cover them just a little. Within a few days, the aerial roots will develop many water roots, and the root system will grow and become well developed in this way.
2. Points to note
Although aerial roots are very important, changing the water is also very important. At the beginning, you need to change the fresh water once every three days. Some flower-growing friends ask whether white sugar can speed up the rooting rate of pothos. Shuaishuai emphasizes here that this method is not correct, because white sugar does not have the effect of promoting rooting, and pothos is very easy to grow, so there is no need to use white sugar to root it. White sugar is used to delay the flowering period. If you are really anxious and want quick rooting, you can also make your own rooting water. Below is the preparation method given by Shuaishuai:
Preparation method of rooting water: mix white sugar and hot water in a 1:9 ratio, let the sugar water cool to room temperature, then put the pothos stem segments with aerial roots in to soak for a few hours before carrying out hydroponics.
The above are the methods for making hydroponic pothos root quickly. Pothos is very easy to grow in water. Some beginners do not understand the issue of pothos aerial roots, so rooting is hindered. So after reading this, has everyone learned it? If the aerial roots are used well, rooting is an easy matter, so everyone should practice more and pay more attention.
