Auspicious grass, also known as the "Goddess of Mercy," is a unique plant belonging to the Liliaceae family. It features clustered leaves that are broadly linear in shape, with a concave midvein and a pointed tip. The leaves can grow between 15 to 40 cm long. The stems are rooted and develop roots at the nodes. The plant produces lavender-colored flowers in erect, terminal spikes, typically blooming from September to October, with each spike reaching about 6 cm in length. Its fruits are bright red and spherical. Native to Southwest China, it thrives in warm, humid environments but is also quite cold-tolerant and prefers shaded areas. It doesn't require rich soil and has strong adaptability.
With its elegant green appearance and cold-tolerant nature, auspicious grass makes a stunning choice for water culture. You can place it in small goldfish bowls or other glass containers, creating a charming and artistic display on your bar table or coffee table. The visual harmony of water, stones, roots, and the plant itself creates a peaceful and refined atmosphere, making it a beautiful piece of living art.
Here’s how to cultivate it:
First, choose healthy plants with dark green leaves, strong growth, and no signs of pests. Carefully dig them out using a shovel, ensuring you clean the roots thoroughly. When digging, try to go as deep as possible and bring along as much soil as you can. This helps protect the roots and supports better growth when transitioning to water culture. Also, since the water is transparent, having full roots on display adds an aesthetic value, showcasing the plant's natural beauty.
Next, select pebbles or stones for the base. Wash them thoroughly, then place a layer at the bottom of the glass container. Position the auspicious grass upright and press the roots into the stones to keep it stable. Fill the container with clear water until all the roots are fully submerged. The clarity of the water means the stones should be chosen carefully for their visual appeal. You can use your creativity to design a unique look that reflects your personal style.
Lastly, maintenance is key. Since the roots are constantly submerged in water, it’s important to change the water regularly—once a week is recommended. To provide nutrients, add a few drops of a liquid fertilizer or potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution occasionally. Auspicious grass prefers shade, so a few hours of fluorescent light at night will be enough to support its photosynthesis needs. With proper care, this plant can thrive and continue to bring beauty and tranquility to your space.
