Aquatic plants are actually many kinds, which can be roughly divided into: submerged plants, that is, growing under the water, such as snapdragon algae; standing water plants, that is, flowers and leaves grow on the surface of the water, such as lotuses; wet plants, that is, growing on the water's edge, such as the common cannabis and aquatic irises; and the floating plants to be introduced today, the leaves grow on the surface of the water.
Above is the big grass
1. One leaf lotus (white flowered watercress)
Also known as honeysuckle or Indian lotus, it is a phytoplankling plant belonging to the genus Watercress in the family Nightshade.
Now many friends have begun to raise a leaf lotus, because its plant is small, with a small water basin or a large bowl can raise it well, it can bloom fresh white flowers, the leaves are like water lily leaves, there is a very obvious lack of angles.
The maintenance of a leaf lotus must be illuminated by the foot, which can be raised in the semi-shade, but the growth will be affected. The maintenance of a leaf lotus should keep the environment warm, the ventilation temperature is best grown between 20 and 35 degrees, and the temperature is lower than 15 degrees without growth and no flowering. With more light and a warm environment, a leaf lotus can continue to flower, and later add some soil to the bottom of the water, you can let its roots grow into the soil in the water.
2. Huang Hualing (water fireworks)
Huanghualing has been introduced to you before, it is sometimes called water fireworks, it can be seen in major scenic spots, parks or botanical gardens, it is an annual floating plant.
The most distinctive feature of Huanghualing is the diamond-shaped leaves, its leaves will gather together, and the whole form is like fireworks.
If you want to raise huanghualing well, you must ensure that the environment is warm and moist. There is more light, and to ensure that the temperature is above 20 degrees, so that its growth will be good, the temperature below 15 degrees will basically not grow.
3. Rambutan (red duckweed)
Rambutan here is not a fruit, but only red duckweed, which is a phytoplankton. It is very easy to feed, the growth rate is relatively fast, raised in an environment with more light, it will grow more densely, and the temperature will grow particularly fast between 20 and 30 degrees.
Rambutan's leaves are green in the absence of light (young leaves are also green), and when there is plenty of sunlight, its leaves will turn red, and its root system is also red, which is especially suitable for raising in aquariums.
Raising red duckweed is to pay attention to ensuring a warm and humid environment, and the water quality is guaranteed to be neutral.
4. Water cabbage (big green)
It is what we usually call "water cabbage", which is particularly common in the southern region of China, and it will float on the surface of the water to grow. The bottom of the plant will grow small whisker roots, the leaves are emerald green, the form of the whole plant is a lotus seat type, the leaves grow particularly dense, and it is particularly easy to grow side buds, and it can continue to propagate in the later stage.
The price of the big green is particularly cheap, easy to maintain, the adaptability to the environment is better, in warm and humid water, give a little phosphate fertilizer and nitrogen fertilizer, it will spread rapidly. The disadvantage is that it is particularly afraid of cold, and it grows particularly fast in a high temperature and high humidity environment.
5. Water hyacinth (hyacinth)
Hyacinth, also known as hyacinth blue or water hyacinth, is an invasive plant in the tropical and subtropical regions of the south and is particularly prone to flooding. But some flower lovers will keep it in a small water tank, as long as they are not thrown into the rivers and lakes, their growth will be limited.
Everyone must understand clearly before raising the hyacinth, and discard it at will. When maintaining it, give sufficient light to ensure that the environment is warm and moist, it can grow well, if the environment is suitable, the hyacinth can also bloom blue-purple flowers, especially bright.
6. Locust leaf ping
Acacia leaf ping, also known as "centipede ping", is a very typical floating plant, which is an aquatic plant that can grow horizontally, and its leaves will grow like centipedes.
It is also extremely simple to raise acacia leaf ping, it grows particularly well in static water, but pay attention to ensuring that the environment is warm, the water quality should be fresh, and the other is to ensure that the environment is warm and there is plenty of sunshine. Give a little nitrogen fertilizer regularly, and it will grow particularly well.
