Is it easy to grow red chrysanthemum water plants?

Red chrysanthemum water plants are not easy to grow. They are a strong sun-loving water plant with a narrow range of adaptability to the environment. To grow beautiful red chrysanthemum water plants and show their color and posture, you need to work hard on water temperature, pH value, iron element, hardness, carbon dioxide content, light source and so on.

Methods of raising red chrysanthemum water plants

1. Water temperature

Generally speaking, the water temperature required by red chrysanthemum water plants is lower than that of ordinary water plants. It is best to control it between 20-23 degrees. Otherwise, red chrysanthemum water plants will find it difficult to absorb nutrients and carry out photosynthesis, its leaves will be difficult to stretch, and they will not be bright red, and their ornamental value will be reduced. In addition, the pH value in the water should be controlled between 6-6.4.

2. Illuminance

Red chrysanthemum water plants generally need strong light to show their beautiful red color, especially the red chrysanthemum water plants of the genus Broadleaf. Without high light levels, they cannot show deep red color. Moreover, they like an environment with long light hours so that they have sufficient time for photosynthesis.

Precautions for growing red chrysanthemum water plants indoors

The red chrysanthemum water grass grows relatively fast. The stems that grow too high can be shortened, and the top buds of the red chrysanthemum water grass can be removed to promote the growth of new buds below the stems. All the overgrown branches, diseased branches and dead branches that appear during the growth process must also be trimmed to maintain the permeability of the plant and promote its healthy growth.

After pruning, the red chrysanthemum water grass needs to be properly maintained and managed. When applying fertilizer, pay attention to controlling the reasonable concentration to avoid fertilizing the plant wounds. After the plant wounds are repaired, the amount of water and fertilizer can be gradually increased. Keep it growing in a bright environment and avoid direct sunlight and exposure.
