What are the aquatic emergent plants? Latest roundup of common species

Lotus

It emerges from the mud unsoiled, bathes in clear ripples without being seductive.

The lotus is often hailed as the fairy of the water. For home growing, smaller varieties are usually chosen for cultivation. During cultivation, plenty of sunlight is needed to ensure blooming. In addition, when choosing a pot for growing, you need to choose a flower pot with poor water permeability. Moreover, the lotus cannot simply be grown indoors; it is best placed outdoors. The pond mud used for planting should preferably contain humus, which will ensure the lotus grows even better.

Water hyacinth

Water hyacinth is also called water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes). Water hyacinth is a floating plant. Its flowers are light and delicate, with blue-purple petals that look especially beautiful.

It is loved by many people, but because water hyacinth grows and reproduces too quickly, in many river basins in our country it has become an invasive alien species, multiplying in large numbers.

But this does not hinder people's love for it. Growing one or two plants at home still has many benefits: it is both ornamental and can purify the air.

Bowl lotus

Bowl lotus, as the name suggests, is a lotus grown in a bowl. The bowl lotus plant is petite and very easy to grow. There is more than one method for home cultivation.

Moreover, bowl lotus can be planted in all four seasons. Because of its petite size, it can be placed anywhere as a decoration, as long as the appropriate water temperature is maintained. Growing bowl lotus gives the room a poetic feeling.

Lobelia

Lobelia likes moisture. Artificial cultivation is mostly carried out along riverbanks, and its cold tolerance is also excellent. It must be mentioned that the efficacy of lobelia: the entire lobelia plant can be used as medicine. It is a very good traditional Chinese medicine, commonly used to treat symptoms such as appendicitis and cirrhosis.

The small flowers of lobelia usually bloom one per stem at the top. The flowers are commonly light purple and white, or pale pink, and the flower shape is very cute.

Acorus calamus

In ancient China, Acorus calamus was hailed as a spiritual herb. Legend says it has the effect of warding off evil and eliminating plagues.

Acorus calamus often appears by riversides or near paddy fields. The plant has a fragrance and can be used to extract aromatic oil. In addition, Acorus calamus has many uses: it can be used for ornament, as medicine, and also has an insect-repelling effect.

However, one point that needs to be made clear is that the entire Acorus calamus plant is toxic, and eating it by mistake will cause hallucinations.

Canna

Canna originates from tropical and subtropical regions and is a very common ornamental flower with excellent ornamental value.

Its fiery red flowers and glossy green leaves combine to look delicate and charming, the best proof of red flowers paired with green leaves. It can bloom in all four seasons.

Canna is sensitive to cold, so temperature is very important when growing it. But at the same time, it is also a flower that is very easy to care for, with strong adaptability and almost no requirements for the soil used for planting.

Canna is also a flower with many uses. Besides ornamental value, it also has medicinal value and landscaping value. Medicinal extracts from canna can effectively treat conditions such as high blood pressure and irregular menstruation. People often use canna to detect the degree of air pollution nearby, because canna leaves are sensitive to harmful gases.
