Do you know how to raise watercress green at home?

Watercress is a plant that everyone often sees, especially in public places, banks and the like. A few will be placed on the counter. This kind of flower does not need to be managed much, and the leaves are green and oily, which is particularly eye-catching.

Watercress green is mainly in the south of China, Fujian, Guangdong, Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangxi and other places, and is also distributed in some places with high temperature and high humidity, and mostly grows on the dry plants. What we often see now is a kind of hairy leaf watercress green, which is a variant, and unlike the original species, it is smaller and shorter.

Watercress green is a kind of semi-negative plant, usually we only need to put it in the temple with strong astigmatism, when the temperature is relatively low in winter, you can put it in a place with more light to ensure the temperature, if you grow in the shade for a long time, it may cause the branches to grow taller, and the leaves will become dull. Watercress green prefers a warm and humid environment, and it will grow quickly in spring. High temperature in summer, slow down when it is particularly cold in winter, basically some times it will not grow during the dormant period, watercress green prefers water, and it grows fast when the humidity is high, so in summer it is necessary to spray some water on the leaves often to maintain air humidity.

Watercress green does not have high requirements for fertilizer, and there is basically no need for fertilizer in winter, that is, when the growth is faster in summer, it can be properly topdressed, and it should be noted that you must not use hard soil to avoid water accumulation in the soil and ensure that the root system will not rot.

What should I do if the watercress green grows too tall?

This kind of green plant generally likes to be short, and it is placed on the table, so there is a problem, what if he keeps growing taller. The first is to cut, cut off the tall leaves, and then put the watercress green in a ventilated place for two days. You can re-cutting.

So we have two pots, and none of them are too tall.

Special attention is paid to the sun, in addition to the winter to give enough light, other seasons need shade, especially in summer when the temperature is high, to avoid sunburn leaves, and ornamental also decreased a lot, watercress green germination ability is very strong, as long as a good control of the height, immediately give you to grow to the sky, can not be stopped.

The plant does not have eyes but it is phototropic, it cannot see the sun, so it can only grow tall and tall and it will not be blocked, and we have some plants that need to be dwarfed can also use this method. Give enough light at the seedling stage so that he will not grow branches and will not grow taller.

Watercress green propagation is relatively powerful, and only one branch is needed to grow, so if there are branches that grow tall, you can pinch off the stems and leaves, and then carry out cuttings to propagate. After surviving, remember to top the top to avoid growing again.

Watercress green is suitable for growing in soft soil with strong drainage ability, likes to be irradiated by natural astigmatism, needs sufficient water, and applies fertilizer and water in a small amount and many times in spring and autumn.

Choose soil with good air permeability and water it more often. Let it bask in the sun in the winter and take care of the shade in the summer. It is also possible to trim and trim properly.

First of all, a suitable breeding environment is needed, then pest control, and finally pruning according to the overall shape and growth.

1. Soil: Cultivating watercress green requires the use of nutrient-rich, loose, breathable, and well-drained soil. 2. Temperature:

In winter, watercress green should be moved into indoor cultivation and the temperature should be stabilized above 10. 3. Water and fertilizer: During the peak growth period of watercress green, it needs to be watered every week, and the decomposed liquid fertilizer should be applied every half month.

4. Insect prevention: ensure that the environment is ventilated and breathable.

The soil rich in humus nutrient is very suitable for the growth and development of watercress green, and the use of humus, peat, river sand, perlite and other materials is mixed to ensure that the soil is fully nutritious, loose and breathable, and has good drainage, which is suitable for the healthy development and growth of rhizomes and whiskers. It is better to use it in the basin after disinfection and sterilization.

Watercress green is susceptible to low-temperature frost damage, so it is necessary to move watercress green indoors for maintenance before winter to avoid outdoor cold wind frostbite on the rhizomes. A stable room temperature above 10 can safely overwinter, usually give light nourishment, but to avoid strong direct light, it is best to maintain in a place with bright astigmatism.

Watercress green needs to be watered regularly, replenish water, 1-2 times a week, water consumption is fast in summer, you can appropriately increase the number of watering, and spray water mist around the plant to cool down and moisturize. In spring and autumn, the growth is vigorous, and it is necessary to add appropriate decomposed organic liquid fertilizer to increase nutrition for the plant, and pay attention to avoid fertilizer water staining the leaves.

Pay attention to the ventilation and ventilation of the maintenance environment, avoid high temperature and high humidity that are easy to breed insect pests, and can also properly adjust the indoor air to keep it fresh and clean. Watercress green is more susceptible to aphids, red spiders and other insect pests, and needs to be diluted with professional insecticides in time and sprayed to remove insects and disinfect.

Watercress green needs to grow in humus soil, can be evenly mixed with humus soil, peat soil, river sand as a substrate, during the growth period needs to be watered every 2 4 days, every half a month to apply a decomposed liquid fertilizer, it can be placed in a semi-shaded environment to grow, do not put in the sun exposure, winter temperature control at more than 10.

Watercress green is generally suitable for growing in humus soil, which can make its watercress green grow more vigorously, so how to raise watercress green, the soil should be loose and drainable, so that the roots can grow better, and generally use humus, peat soil, and river sand to mix evenly as a substrate.

Watercress green likes moist soil, need to be watered every 2 4 days, if the temperature is too high when watering 1 2 times a day, the winter temperature is lower than 10 need to control the amount of watering, in spring and autumn when the growth is vigorous, need to provide a lot of nutrients, can be applied every half a month to decompose liquid fertilizer, do not sprinkle fertilizer on the leaves when fertilizing, to avoid the leaf rot.

Watercress green can not be exposed to the sun, it is a semi-negative plant, usually need to be placed in the scattered light for maintenance, can also be maintained in the sun with shade nets, winter can be given to it full sun exposure, to prevent frostbite at the bottom temperature of the plant, but also need to control the temperature above 10, so as to make it safe to overwinter.

If the watercress green suffers from red spiders, aphids and other pests and diseases, it is first necessary to gently wipe the leaves with a damp cloth, then cut off the yellowed leaves, place them under astigmatism for maintenance, and then spray them with acetomite emulsifiable concentrate, pyridoxine emulsifiable concentrate and other agents to prevent and control it, so that it can gradually recover its vitality.

In the spring of May every year, you can pick the leaves with roots from the base of the sturdy plants, then place them in a cool and ventilated place to dry them naturally, and then insert the leaves into the soil, and the growth temperature is controlled at 20 25 or more, and the new roots can grow again after waiting for about a month.

Generally, when maintaining watercress green, it is often based on its growth characteristics. First of all, it is a semi-shade-tolerant plant, so it is best to provide it with astigmatism color during the growth process. In this way, the watercress green can grow more lush.

In the hot summer, be sure to avoid direct sunlight.

01 Secondly, when you are maintaining watercress green, you can use peat, sand, perlite, and humus soil in the soil to mix them in a certain proportion and use them as base fertilizer, so that you can effectively provide nutrients for watercress green.

02 In fact, when maintaining watercress green, we should not only pay attention to soil problems. In terms of drainage, we must pay attention to loose and fertile, and have good drainage, so as to effectively improve the growth of watercress green.

03 In terms of fertilization, watercress green is often fertilized according to the season, for example, in the spring and summer seasons, it needs to be fertilized once every 35 days, mainly nitrogen fertilizer. In autumn, fertilizer is applied once a month, and in winter, fertilizer is applied once every month and a half.

04 Since watercress grows relatively quickly and requires a lot of water, it needs to be watered every week. If you find that the soil is particularly dry, you must replenish water in time to avoid affecting the growth of watercress green.
