Hydroponic chestnuts have attracted people to follow suit, don't look down, or you will be hooked to do it.
The chestnut was sent by a netizen last year, a full 10 catties, and a few were spilled and forgotten in the corner. When it was discovered, it was almost the New Year, and my wife brought it to hydroponics.
At that time, I also scolded her: everything is raised in water, this is a chestnut not a peach, and it is full of pulp and not seeds, which is simply whimsical.
At that time, my wife still went her own way and wanted to slap me in the face with her actions.
Because they have fallen into the corner for a long time, they are already very dry, so my wife did the germination treatment first.
Soak in water for 3 days, chestnuts drink water and drink until their bodies are swollen;
Then with the help of small scissors, carefully cut the hard shell of the pointed part, just cut off a little shell;
Finally, it is placed in a box filled with absorbent toilet paper to sprout, and after a few days, small white spots will appear on the tip of the chestnut.
Whether it is soaking in water or during germination, the water should be changed every day to ensure that the water does not deteriorate and does not breed bacteria.
When the small white shoots grow to half a finger length, they are taken out and started hydroponics.
The bud head is down, the butt is facing the sky, and it can be placed on the mouth of the bottle.
Fill the bottle with clean water to ensure that the buds can drink water.
Depending on the situation, a chestnut may have one bud or multiple buds.
The roots will grow downwards and the shoots will grow upwards.
A green life was born, and it was brave and inspirational to live.
With the stretching of the small leaves, it seems that the irritability in the heart also stretches out and disappears.
The leaves of chestnuts are large serrate, and the young leaves have a hairy feeling, which is beautiful.
The emerald green color is fresh and healing when you look at it.
The maintenance of hydroponic chestnuts is very simple, add a drop or two of nutrient solution to clean water, and it will grow quickly and lush.
When the temperature is not high, the water is changed once every 3-7 days, and the water is changed every 2 days in the summer when the temperature is high.
After the seedlings are potted, many small lateral roots will grow on the taproot, and the seedlings will become healthier and healthier.
At this time, you can also be lazy and not change the water, just add water after the water is less.
If you are concerned about mosquito breeding, there are two solutions.
One is to raise a small fish or shrimp in it, they will eat the eggs cleanly, and raise themselves fat, killing two birds with one stone.
The second is to change the water frequently to ensure that it can be changed once within 3 days to avoid mosquito hatching.
As for the shelling of chestnuts before germination, if you have obsessive-compulsive disorder and good craftsmanship, you can also peel them all.
Even after peeling off the shell, it's not fun, and you can still peel off the fluffy ghost stuff on top of it.
As long as it doesn't hurt the flesh and germ, it's easy to say.
For me, it's okay to peel the shell, that layer of hair is really difficult to peel, so is there any skill in peeling chestnuts? I love to eat chestnuts and can't peel them.
Hydroponic chestnuts are so fun, so simple, beautiful and healing, why don't you try them together?
That's the end of the article.
There is such a question: what do you want to watch in the next issue? What's good about hydroponics, you have the final say.
By the way, let's guess what kind of fairy green plant is in the picture above?
