1, container selection
When raising Brazilian wood in water, use a transparent glass vase with large caliber, which is convenient for observing the growth state of Brazilian wood roots, so as to avoid rot and affect the survival of plants. Moreover, before using the vase, it should be disinfected to avoid being infected with bacteria, which will lead to diseases of Brazilian wood.
2. Selection of stem segments
In the process of hydroponics, stem segments with strong growth, no damage and complete surface should be selected. After disinfection with carbendazim, rooting powder should be applied to the bottom, and then it should be placed vertically in a vase, and then water should be poured into the vase to make the water just submerge the bottom of the stem segments.
3. Change the water regularly
In the early stage of hydroponics, the water should be changed every three days to make the plants better adapt to the hydroponics environment. After hydroponics for a period of time, the water should be changed once a week to keep the water clean. It is best to use pollution-free rainwater, purified water or mountain spring water to reduce the use of tap water.
Matters needing attention in breeding Brazilian wood
During the growth of hydroponic Brazilian wood, it mainly gets nutrients from water to maintain its growth. Therefore, during hydroponic culture, acidic substances such as nutrient solution and nitrate nitrogen should be added to the water regularly to promote the growth of roots, but the water containing nutrient solution should be replaced in time to avoid breeding bacteria.
When cultivating Brazilian wood, it is necessary to prepare sharp and disinfected scissors to cut off the withered branches, weak branches and insect branches with poor growth to promote its healthy growth, and to cut short the branches that grow too long to concentrate its nutrients and improve the ornamental value of the plant.
