How to grow aquatic plants

1. Adequate sunshine

Aquatic plants are highly dependent on sunlight and need sufficient sunlight during the growing season to grow normally. If the aquatic plants raised by flower lovers show undesirable phenomena such as excessive growth or failure to bloom, it is very likely caused by insufficient light.

2. Change water on time

Under normal circumstances, the water for growing aquatic plants needs to be changed every 5 days or so, because the roots of the plants are enough to turn the normal water quality turbid in about 5 days. Therefore, for the better growth of aquatic plants, flower lovers should change the water on time.

3. Provide nutrients

Normally cultivated plants need to be fertilized, and the same is true for aquatic plants. The method of fertilizing aquatic plants is to add fertilizers directly into the water. However, the fertilizers for aquatic plants are all chemical fertilizers, such as oil cakes. This can prevent the water quality from being affected by fertilizers.

4. Carry out division

Division is a necessary step for plant growth. When the plant grows large enough or the container can no longer accommodate it, it must be divided. Generally, division will not be carried out until the plant has grown for about 3 years.
