Steps and methods of hydroponic cultivation of spider plants

Water cultivation steps

1. Choose a container

Any container that can hold water can be used to grow spider plants in water. It is best to use a transparent container so that you can appreciate the dazzling white roots in the water. The glass wine glasses, tea cups and mineral water bottles around you are all containers for growing spider plants in water, which are both economical and beautiful. The container for growing spider plants in water can be single-layer or double-layer. A single-layer container is a glass bottle or plastic bottle without a bottom hole in which you can directly plant spider plants. The double-layer container has a plastic screen as the upper layer and a bottomless bottle as the lower layer. Plant the spider plant in the upper plastic screen and let the roots of the spider plant extend into the lower bottle.

2. Take the beautifully shaped potted spider plant out of the pot and wash off the soil.

3. Cut off old roots and yellow leaves.

4. Insert into the plastic sieve and fill with orchid stone or medical stone to increase permeability, which also has a fixing effect on the plants. Then put it in a wide-mouthed transparent glass bottle and keep it in water.

Chlorophytum division water culture

Chlorophytum can also be divided into water plants. The specific steps are as follows

1. Cut off the small spider plants with aerial roots on the creeping stems from the mother plant and grow them in water.

2. Snow-white new roots will sprout after a few days.

Daily care

1. When growing spider plants in water, just let the bottom one-third of the roots touch the water surface. Do not submerge all of the white fleshy roots of the spider plant in water, otherwise water will accumulate and cause root rot.

2. Change the water once a day for the spider plant that has just been placed in water, and reduce the frequency of water changes after it has taken root.

3. Placing it in a place with good light is conducive to the germination of new roots.
