Cultivation in hard water or saline-alkali water quality. Before cultivation, root fertilizer can be buried in the bottom bed. After cultivation, even if there is no carbon dioxide and fertilizer, aquatic plants can grow well. The requirements for water temperature are high, and normal water temperature can grow normally. Growth conditions It will not affect the appearance of aquatic plants, and the change of leaf color generally depends on the growth environment.
