Green leaf grass is a kind of relatively easy to raise aquatic plants. Its characteristics are rapid growth and simple cultivation. It is more suitable for novices who have no experience in breeding. In the process of breeding, only the temperature, hardness, acidity and alkalinity, carbon dioxide concentration, light and food need to be controlled within a certain range.
1. PH: Green leaf grass and water grass need to grow in an acidic environment, so it is best to control the PH between 6.5 and 7, which is the same as most water weeds.
2. Hardness: Green leaf grass and aquatic plants grow better in soft water environment, but in the breeding process, only need to maintain the hardness at 2 to 15.
3. Carbon dioxide: In the process of cultivating green leaf grass, carbon dioxide needs to be injected into the cylinder to maintain the concentration of carbon dioxide in the cylinder. If the concentration of carbon dioxide is too low, it will affect the leaf health of green grass and aquatic plants.
4. Illumination: The leaves of healthy green grass and aquatic plants are green. If the illumination conditions are insufficient, the leaves will have a sense of transparency. Therefore, it is best to control the illumination intensity above 1500 Lux.
5. Fertilizer: The green leaf grass and water grass with insufficient nutrients will become small and unhealthy. Therefore, in the process of aquaculture, attention should be paid to fertilization.
6. Temperature: The suitable temperature for the survival of green leaf grass is between 20 and 30 degrees. Therefore, the temperature can be controlled in this range during the breeding process, if the temperature is too high or too low, it may be unhealthy.
