Many people like to raise fish at home, and then plant some aquatic plants to beautify it, which is still very beautiful. Usually, when planting aquatic plants, potted plants, potted plants or root plants can be used. How to plant beautiful aquatic plants with aquatic plant seeds is described in detail below.
Steps of planting aquatic plants in fish tanks
Step 1: Prepare the fish tank.
First, spread a layer of fine sand with a thickness of about 30-40 mm on the fish tank. It should be noted that the choice of fine sand must be moderate in size, otherwise it will make it difficult to clean up in the later stage.
You can put some pebbles on the fine sand as decoration, so that the subsequent aquatic plants will grow more beautifully.
Step two, sow.
Take out the seeds of aquatic plants and spread them on the surface of fine sand as evenly as possible. After paving, spray water on the soil with a watering can, and the soil should be completely wet. There should be a layer of water on the soil, just above the seeds.
Step three, cover with plastic wrap.
Cover the fish tank with plastic wrap to keep warm. In the process of cultivating aquatic plants, it is most appropriate to keep the temperature between 25-30℃. There are also several small holes in the plastic wrap for better ventilation.
How to maintain the aquatic plants in the aquatic plants tank
1, temperature condition
After planting aquatic plants, putting the fish tank in an environment of about 25 degrees Celsius is helpful for aquatic plants to germinate better. Aquatic plants have poor cold tolerance, so heat preservation should be done in winter to avoid leaf rot or yellowing.
2. Lighting conditions
Water grass is a kind of plant that likes light. In the process of its growth, the light should be sufficient. If the light supply is insufficient, it will limit the growth of aquatic plants. Especially when there is no natural light at night, make sure that the fill light is on.
You can put a light supplement lamp on the top of the fish tank to provide light for aquatic plants for about 7 hours every day, which is conducive to their germination. In addition, it should be noted that if the light is too strong, it will also affect the growth of aquatic plants, and scattered light is the best.
Step 3 spray water properly
Aquatic plants like humidity, so they should spray water into the container properly every day. Spraying some water mist around the fish tank can improve the humidity of the air. Generally, after four or five days, aquatic plants can germinate.
