Water culture in Phnom Penh
How to hydroponically cultivate Phnom Penh Chlorophytum method 1:
1. Select container:
Generally, the vase should be selected according to the size of the hydroponic Chlorophytum. It is better to choose the one with a neck at 1 / 3, which can be fixed or not.
2. Select hydroponic seedlings:
You can choose to walk on the stems of new seedlings, preferably with air rooting; you can also wash the soil culture of Chlorophytum after hydroponics, pay attention to the disinfection before hydroponics.
3. Hydroponics:
According to the size of Chlorophytum, the vase should be selected. Water should not be added too much in hydroponics, but less than 1 / 3-1 / 2 root system.
4. Curing:
Change water every 2-3 days, change from soil culture to water culture, some roots will rot at the initial stage, need to be cut off when changing water, and disinfect best. When the length of fresh water root is 3-5cm, it is necessary to add nutrient solution to the water. It is better to maintain the environment with scattered light, not too shade or insolation. If there are dry leaf tips, they should be pruned in time.

Method 2:
1. Container:
The container bottle can be single-layer or double-layer. Single layer bottle is a plastic bottle without bottom hole or a ceramic bottle without bottom hole. Double layer bottle, take the plastic screen as the upper layer, the lower layer bottle is a bottle without bottom hole, plant the Chlorophytum in the upper plastic screen, let the root of the Chlorophytum hang down in the bottle.
2. Take seedlings:
Take the potted or ground Chlorophytum out of the basin or dig it from the ground, remove the soil at its root, wash its root with clean water, cut off the old and rotten roots, leave the fibrous roots, cut off some leaves (old leaves, disease and pest leaves), leave the robust leaves, generally leave 6 to 10 leaves.
3. Upper basin:
Single layer bottle basin method is to insert the processed Chlorophytum into the bottle, the bottle mouth is tied with a sponge and a plastic straw is inserted, and the straw is used for water delivery. Let the Chlorophytum plant stand upright, put water and flower nutrition solution into the bottle, and let the root of Chlorophytum grow in the water. Double layer bottle cultivation method is to plant the Chlorophytum plant on the plastic screen, the root passes through the small hole of the plastic screen to enter the lower bottle, and put the ceramic material or stone rice (large grain) into the screen, so that the Chlorophytum stands upright, and the lower bottle is filled with water and flower nutrition liquid. After the potting, put the Chlorophytum in the room or shade for management.
4. Management:
① Water:
Water and flower nutrient solution are added once every 4 days in single-layer container bottle cultivation, and water is input from the straw until the water is full. Double layer bottle shall be changed once a week. When changing water, the bottle water shall be poured out, the bottle shall be cleaned, water and flower nutrition liquid shall be filled, and then the plastic screen shall be placed on the water bottle.
② Fertilizer:
The plant nutrient solution was added into the root by adding water and changing water. The foliage was sprayed with diluted plant nutrient solution every three days.
③ Pest control:
In case of diseases and insect pests, the leaves can be sprayed with universal powder and water.
④ Flower promotion:
In the first half of the year, Chlorophytum blooms. Do not spray water on the flower when it blooms to prevent it from falling early. Cut off the flower from the branch after the flower withers to promote re flowering.
Hydroponics of Chlorophytum Phnom Penh II. Cultivation precautions of Chlorophytum hydrophytum 1. The roots cannot be completely immersed in the water, leaving about a quarter of the roots on the water surface, so that the roots can breathe better.
2. It is better to use cold boiled water for water, which is free of diseases and insect pests, algae spores, etc., and also removes chlorine from tap water, which is more conducive to the healthy growth of plants, especially the roots can keep white and tender without greenness for a long time, so as to improve the ornamental quality. Generally, the water will be changed once every three or four days, and the winter will be longer.
3. Put it in the place with scattered light. Except for the sunshine in winter, avoid direct sunlight in other seasons.
4. Spray water on the leaves every day, the finer the water drop, the better. Increase the number of spray water when it is hot.
5. Nutrition doesn't matter. There are many nutrients in the water itself. If possible, it is better to add some nitrogen fertilizer or granular compound fertilizer to the water in about 20 days. The dosage is 1:1500 with water. Of course, it can also be used to wash rice water for three or four days (fermentation), take the supernatant from the upper layer, and mix it into the water of Chlorophytum (mixing ratio 1:10).
