Can trumpet creeper be hydroponically cultivated? Hydroponics rooting methods and precautions

Can trumpet creeper be hydroponically cultivated?

Trumpet creeper can be grown hydroponically. It likes moisture but is afraid of waterlogging. It is difficult to control the amount of water for soil-grown trumpet creeper. Too much watering will cause the roots of the plant to rot and affect the survival rate. Too little water will cause the leaves to dry up, turn yellow and fall off, and need to be cleaned in time. Water-grown trumpet creeper is less troublesome, and its ornamental value is also higher and more beautiful.

How to grow trumpet creeper hydroponically

1. Bud selection

   First, select strong trumpet creeper branches for hydroponics. The best length is 10-15 cm. Before hydroponics, the trumpet creeper needs to be soaked in rooting water to increase the rooting rate. After soaking, only two or three leaves on the branches should be retained, and the rest should be removed to reduce nutrient loss.

2. Prepare the container

   It is best to choose a transparent glass container for the hydroponic culture of Trumpet Creeper, and then put an appropriate amount of clean water in the container. The water quality must be clean and free of sediment.

3. Water plugging treatment

  When planting in water, it is best to cut the root part of the trumpet creeper into an inclined surface. This can increase the contact area and absorb more water and nutrients. It needs to be placed in a cool and ventilated place during maintenance, and the water should be changed frequently.

Precautions for growing trumpet creeper in water

1. Before cutting

Before grafting trumpet creeper, if it is winter pruning, generally choose spring grafting. If it is pruning and grafting immediately, choose summer to increase the survival rate. For winter pruning and spring grafting, generally choose branches with thicker branches. If it is summer grafting, choose semi-lignified branches.

2. After cutting

After the trumpet creeper is cut and propagated, the container needs to be placed in a cool and ventilated place for maintenance, and the water needs to be changed regularly. Pay attention to changes in water quality and water level in time to prevent root rot or plant drying up.
