What household aquatic plants are there? Indoor plant placement tips

There are many kinds of plants, and one of them is indoor aquatic plants. So, what household aquatic plants are there? How should indoor plants be placed? Today we will give you a brief introduction, so let us take a look together.


What household aquatic plants are there

1. Lysimachia nummularia (moneywort)

It is not demanding about water quality and can be cultivated in soft fresh water. Lysimachia nummularia likes an environment with plenty of light; in a shaded environment, the leaves of the plant rot easily, so it is best to let it receive more than 4 hours of scattered sunlight every day. Lysimachia nummularia has the function of purifying the air and is a very good aquatic plant to place indoors. Its requirement for sunlight is not very high, and its survival rate is also very high.

2. Ceratophyllum demersum (hornwort)

Ceratophyllum demersum is an aquatic plant that mainly grows in ponds and ditches, but now we mostly plant it in fish tanks or fish ponds. Ceratophyllum demersum belongs to the algae plants and is a kind of herbaceous plant suspended in water. It has a certain medicinal value. Ceratophyllum demersum is a very good plant indoors for decorating fish tanks, and both its ornamental value and medicinal value are very high.

3. Echinopsis tubiflora (ball cactus)

The ball cactus has especially strong drought resistance. When we cultivate ball cacti, we all use the most traditional cultivation method. But this soil cultivation method has many disadvantages: there is relatively more dirt, and it is also not easy to manage. So now indoor aquatic cultivation of ball cacti is used. Ball cacti also bloom, so their ornamental value when placed indoors is still very high.

4. Cyperus alternifolius (umbrella papyrus)

Cyperus alternifolius likes warmth and humidity, and likes to grow in water, hence the name water bamboo. Bamboo is widely used and of great value; the whole plant can be used in different fields and has multiple values such as ornamental and medicinal value. Bamboo shoots are delicious, and the bamboo body is slender and can be used to weave tools and artworks; after burning, bamboo oil and bamboo charcoal can also be used for making incense and for burning. Because Cyperus alternifolius is easy to manage and raise, it can be grown in soil in flower pots, or in water in a water-filled container, and it can also be both water-grown and pot-grown.

Placement of household aquatic plants

1. Broad-leaf plants placed on the balcony boost career

In feng shui, the balcony mainly affects the owner's career prospects, and it is the place closest to the outdoors in a residence, so it can fully absorb the sunlight, wind and rain outside the residence and is suitable for growing all kinds of evergreen plants. It can not only beautify the environment, but in feng shui it can also achieve a prosperity-boosting effect. Generally, prosperity-boosting plants include Rohdea japonica, Pachira aquatica (money tree), Rhapis excelsa (broadleaf lady palm), and so on.

2. Aquatic plants placed at the entryway best attract wealth

In home feng shui, aquatic plants are a good prop for attracting wealth, taking the symbolic meaning of prospering upon meeting water. The entryway is the entrance and exit of a house and is also called the inner bright hall in feng shui, so whether the feng shui of the entryway is good or bad is inseparable from the career fortune of the family. If a pot of aquatic plants can be placed outside the door when entering the main gate, or at the entryway, it is helpful for gathering wealth. Of course, after placing it, do not forget to water it regularly to prevent the plant from withering due to lack of water. But do not, just for convenience, put a fake tree at the door or place fake flowers inside the door; this will not only fail to bring good feng shui, but will also attract bad feng shui.

3. Thorny plants best dissolve negative energy

In home feng shui, plants that dissolve negative energy are different from prosperity-boosting plants. Plants that dissolve negative energy generally have thorns on the stems or flowers and leaves, because only with thorns can they dissolve negative energy, such as cactus, rose, rhododendron, and so on. Plants that dissolve negative energy are generally suitable to be placed in places such as windowsills and balconies, and are not suitable to be placed in the living room or bedroom, as they will affect family relationships and marital affection.
