Is it better to grow green radish in water or in soil?

Compared with the two cultivation methods of green radish, hydroponics is better . This is because the roots of water-cultured green radish grow faster and can quickly absorb minerals and nutrients in the water. However, the roots of soil-cultured green radish grow slower and are more complicated to take care of.

The benefits of hydroponics

1. Fast rooting

Compared with the two cultivation methods of green radish, hydroponics is better because green radish can better absorb oxygen in water and accelerate root growth in hydroponics.

The roots of soil-grown green radish grow slowly in the soil. If it is not properly maintained, it will not take root and sprout easily, which is not conducive to its survival. Therefore, water-grown green radish grows very fast, absorbs minerals and nutrients in the water, and promotes its own growth.

2. Daily maintenance is more convenient

Hydroponic green radish grows in water, without silt or other impurities that affect its growth. When growing in water, we need to pay attention to changing the water quality frequently, and there will be no more complicated operation and maintenance methods like soil cultivation. Changing the water quality is simple and easy to operate, and it is more convenient to take care of and maintain. Usually, hydroponic green radish at home will not dirty the house.

Precautions for hydroponic green radish

1. Change water frequently

The water quality of hydroponic green radish needs to be changed frequently to keep it clean so that it can better absorb the minerals and nutrients in the water. Usually the water quality is changed every three days. If tap water is used, it needs to be dried for 24 hours for sterilization. If mineral water is used, it does not need to be dried, and it can better absorb the nutrients in the water. Keeping the water clean promotes the growth and development of its roots and branches and leaves.

2. Regular root pruning

The roots of hydroponic green radish are often soaked in water, which is prone to rot and needs to be pruned in time. In order to maintain the overall growth of the green radish plant and achieve balanced nutrition, it is necessary to prune the roots that grow too fast.
