There is a kind of plant. Its leaves are very special, looking like dynamic miniature fountains, bringing people a peaceful and dynamic visual enjoyment. At the same time, it is also an almost all-match herbaceous plant. The above-mentioned is the Fountain Grass. Its meaning is very romantic, and its flower language is love after the tempering of time. Love is always accompanied like a fountain.
Fountain Grass belongs to high-end leaf materials and is defined as the Hermès among grasses in the flower world. Generally, there are two specifications on the market. One is domestically grown, which is shorter in shape and has smaller flower spikes. The other is imported, which is fuller in shape and has larger flower spikes. After buying fresh-cut flowers from the market, even if the seller has helped with a water-retaining treatment using absorbent cotton, because this kind of grass plant is very prone to dehydration, the leaf stems will feel a little soft. After removing the packaging, first take a bucket filled with water, and deep-water hydrate the flowers for about three hours. After the flowers are hydrated, take them out and shake off the leaves below the bottle mouth to prevent the underwater leaves from rotting and breeding bacteria.
It should be noted here that when removing other leaves, be careful. Do not tear them directly. Just use the ring-pulling method to remove them gently. Then take a vase, fill it with about 1/3 of water. If possible, add a little preservative and a few drops of 84 disinfectant. Cut the roots diagonally according to the height of the vase, and avoid the nodes when cutting. After finally inserting it into the vase, the water needs to be changed every day, and the inside of the vase also needs to be cleaned before changing the water.
Fountain Grass is one of the preferred indoor plants for many families. How to take care of it in a pot? First of all, it likes sufficient sunlight, but in the hot summer, it also needs to avoid strong direct sunlight to avoid leaf burns. The suggested placement is near the window. The water requirement is moderate. Just keep the soil moist and without water accumulation. During the growing season, a balanced liquid fertilizer should be applied once a month, which can help it thrive. There is no need to fertilize in winter. As long as Fountain Grass is taken care of slightly as mentioned above, it can create a natural and quiet corner for you at home.
