Pruning and selecting branches

Select robust and well-developed asparagus as the mother material for hydroponic cultivation, take out the asparagus with soil from the pot, carefully wash away the soil from its roots, remove the rotten roots, and cut off part of the old roots. Then wash the leaves and plants with water so as not to damage the plants. Asparagus is slow to root and has delicate fleshy roots. Therefore, you must be careful when eating asparagus so as not to hurt the roots.

Sanitizing and planting

The best choice for hydroponic asparagus is planting baskets. The cleaned plant should be fixed in a planting basket with the roots fully extended when fixed. Then put the plant together with the planting basket into 1 polymyxin solution to soak the roots for 30 minutes, remove it and place it in a cool place. Once the roots are softened, the next step can be taken.

Hydroponics

The first few steps are just the setup; here comes the main event. Add a special nutrient solution for asparagus to the hydroponic container and place the treated plant in the hydroponic container. When placing, 2/3 of the roots should be put into the water to ensure that some of the roots are exposed to the air and the roots breathe well.

Maintenance

Watering and temperature control

After hydroponics, spray the leaves with water twice a day, control the temperature at 15-25, and grow new roots after two weeks. During this period, change the water diligently, once every 3-5 days. After three to four weeks, the asparagus root system has grown a lot, you can reduce the water change, add pottery to fix the plant. After rooting, supplement with foliar fertilizer every other week. Font The plant should be kept in semi-shade until rooting occurs. After rooting, new leaves will slowly grow and require additional light. Generally hydroponic asparagus should be placed near a lighted window, not in direct sunlight, and kept ventilated. Keep an eye on the water level of the hydroponic container after rooting and replenish the water in time.

Rooting replenishment

, it is best to use the special nutrient solution for hydroponic asparagus. Hydroponic asparagus care is much easier than soil cultivation. Usually only need to pay attention to water change, about 7-10 days in summer, 20 days in winter. Every time you change the water, you need to replenish the nutrient solution.
