2. In the 1 month before hydroponics, it is a transitional stage, and it is generally necessary to change the water once every 3 days, and change the water once 7 days after rooting. After about a month, you can change the water again in 20 days.

Common problems with raising green lotus
1 green lotus dehydrated leaves hunched down
The lack of water of the green lotus will return to normal the next day after watering, the general temperature is high, the indoor ventilation is good, the watering interval period is too long, and the green lotus will be dehydrated and will be dehydrated.
Workaround:
When watering the big green lotus, not only the roots should be watered, but also the periphery of the brown hair column of the green lotus, and watered from top to bottom. This allows the brown hairs to absorb sufficiently for the air roots around the stem to absorb water, in addition to frequently spraying water on the foliage. After the small green lotus lacks water, it can be placed in water and soaked for 5 minutes to allow the soil to fully absorb the water.
2 Too much watering of the green lotus causes the leaves to turn yellow
Excessive watering, the symptoms are large areas of yellowing, straight leaves, (lack of water is also yellow, but the leaves are shrugged)
All the yellow leaves are cleaned up, less watered, placed in a well-ventilated, air circulation position, see dry and wet (dry and then watered, not dry and not watered)
3 tender leaves with blackened scorched hair
From the nursery base to the home of flower friends, there are obvious differences in light and temperature, and the lack of light during growth and the obvious performance of new leaves.
The newly grown leaves are relatively tender, and the reaction is obvious, it will turn black, clean it up and pay attention to improving the light conditions of the green lotus, and appropriately strengthen the light.
4 Lack of nutrients
The leaves are sparse, the vines are long and the leaves are small, the leaves are not green and yellowish, and the lack of nutrients is caused.
Timely fertilization and nutrition, placed in a good place to get full photosynthesis.
5 The leaves at the bottom of the green lotus are yellow
This situation is normal metabolism, and the bottom leaves will have different degrees of yellowing. Because of the environmental impact, the light below is poor, and the photosynthesis of the bottom leaves cannot be met, and the degree of yellowing of the leaves will be different due to the different intensity of light.
A small amount of yellowing and shedding can be ignored, and the more serious recommendations are to replace it with a place with better light and air circulation, which will improve.
Green Lotus Care Tips
1. Watering in the early stage of planting is very important, and the first time the new pot is replaced, the water must be watered thoroughly.
When watering for the first time, pay attention to see if the pot soil has stored water, rather than seeping out as soon as it is watered. When watering the big green lotus, not only the roots should be watered, but also the periphery of the brown hair column of the green lotus, and watered from top to bottom. This allows the brown hairs to absorb water sufficiently for the air roots around the stem to absorb water.
2. Pay attention to frequent steering
Especially close to the corner of the wall, to prevent polar growth (the phenomenon that the plant is good on one side and the side is poor). If the location is placed in a dark light, it is recommended to water less and spray more water.
3. Fertilize
The leaves at the top of the green lotus are too small, which is generally caused by insufficient nutrients, and can be sprayed with urea plus potassium dihydrogen phosphate to supplement nutrition. Big green lotus likes fertilizer, and regularly watering potassium dihydrogen phosphate will make the leaves greener and grow better.
4. Pinch the tip
When the apex leaves are too large to withstand falling down, the tip can be pinched to control the growth of the apical leaves.
5. Soil
Weak acidic soils with large humus content, breathable, water permeable and strong fertility retention are more conducive to the growth of green lotus. If there are insects inside the soil, such as leafminer flies, spiny ants, ants, etc., it can be controlled by irrigating a small amount of oxidized fruit roots.
6. Lighting
Although the green lotus is shade-tolerant, but in a long-term dark environment, the green lotus can not grow new leaves, encounter new leaves scorched and dry, and the lack of light has a great relationship, it is recommended to put in the location of scattered light maintenance.
7. Humidity
Humidity can be increased by approaching the humidifier, spraying the leaves, stems, and air roots with a sprayer, gently wiping the leaf surface with a cold wet towel or toilet paper, and spraying water to the growth of air roots.
