Where do I start cutting the roots of hydroponic green radish? Can I cut the roots in winter?

1. Where to cut the heels

Generally speaking, it is not necessary to frequently prune the roots of hydroponic green radish. If the cultivation container is too small, it may lead to insufficient nutrient supply in the container, and root pruning will be necessary at this time. When pruning its roots, you should be careful to only cut old roots, weak roots, incomplete roots and damaged roots, and retain the high-quality white and tender root system. This way, the normal growth of the hydroponic green radish will not be affected by root pruning.

2. Can roots be pruned in winter?

It is usually not recommended to cut the roots of hydroponic green radish in winter, because winter is the most vulnerable time for green radish. Too low temperature can cause the death of the plant. If the roots are cut off, it will make the situation even worse. However, if the ambient temperature for its maintenance in winter can reach above 20℃, you can still prune its roots appropriately. After pruning, you need to take good care of it. You can appropriately increase the water temperature for breeding to avoid the air temperature reaching the standard and the water temperature being too low and the plant freezing to death.
