How to grow hydroponic purple spider plant more vigorously

Purple spider plant is a plant with strong adaptability. The operation of hydroponic purple spider plant is simple and the survival rate is also very high. The simplest method is to cut the seedlings that grow from the middle of the leaves and place them in clean water for cultivation. They will take root and survive in about three days. However, if you want the purple spider plant to continue to grow new leaves, it needs careful care.

Key points for hydroponic cultivation of purple spider plant

1. Temperature

Purple spider plant needs a warm, humid and semi-shaded environment to grow. The most suitable temperature for growth is 15-25℃. If the temperature is low in winter, it needs to be moved indoors for maintenance. If the temperature is high in summer, it needs to be cooled. Purple spider plant cannot be exposed to direct sunlight and needs to be maintained in a semi-shaded place with scattered light.

2. Change water and fertilize

Hydroponic purple spider plant needs clean culture water to grow. Try to change the water every week or so. Tap water needs to be aired and left to stand before use. When changing the water, you can also drip nutrient solution or apply liquid fertilizer to ensure the nutrients needed for the subsequent growth of the purple spider plant.

3. Pruning

After the purple spider plant grows fibrous roots, it will grow vigorously if there is sufficient nutrients. In order to ensure good ventilation, it is necessary to cut off the stems and leaves that are not growing well or are underdeveloped. After pruning the relatively dense and well-growing stems and leaves, hydroponic propagation can be carried out.

Precautions for hydroponic cultivation of purple spider plant

If the purple spider plant is not properly maintained when grown in water by division, its roots will rot. It is necessary to change the water and clean the roots every day. The rotten roots should be trimmed off and placed in clean water. The nutrient solution can only be used after new roots grow out.
