How to cultivate aquatic plants and precautions

Aquatic plant growth conditions

Aquatic plants do not have high requirements for light. They can still grow in low-light environments. However, if the growth environment has sufficient light, the aquatic plants can thrive. In addition, the hardness of the water for breeding should be high and the nitrate content should be low. The generally suitable temperature for growth is 22~30℃.

How to grow aquatic plants

When cultivating aquatic plants, try to choose quartz sand as the bottom sand. Usually, 3-5 mm quartz sand is more suitable. It should not be too fine or too coarse. The thickness of the bottom sand can be 5-7 cm. If you want the leaves to grow lush and strong, you also need to add appropriate amount of carbon dioxide.

Watering the grass

Aquatic plants are generally grown in water, so you need to water them when you see the water level drop. Of course, you also need to change the water regularly. If the water quality is not clean, you need to change the water to ensure the water quality is clean.

Aquatic plant fertilization

In addition to applying base fertilizer, you should also add some liquid fertilizer to the water. Don't rush to add fertilizer in the early stage. Wait 15-20 days before starting to fertilize.

How to grow aquatic plants at home

When raising aquatic plants at home, you can use soil as the bottom bed for cultivation, and put some expanded clay and river sand, and then apply some basal fertilizer. The lighting time should be maintained at about 8-10 hours a day, and generally 1/3 of the water should be changed every 5-7 days. In addition to applying basal fertilizer, some liquid fertilizer should also be added to the water.

Precautions for water plant maintenance

There must be carbon dioxide during the maintenance of aquatic plants so that the plants can carry out photosynthesis. When there is insufficient carbon dioxide in the water, the aquatic plants will stop growing. The plants must have enough carbon dioxide to survive, so it is necessary to ensure that there is sufficient carbon dioxide in the water.
