Water spinach can actually be grown in water. Have you ever seen this growing method?

Because its shape resembles bamboo leaves, water spinach is also called "bamboo leaf vegetable." It is generally seen growing in soil. But recently I saw a video on TV of it growing in water, and it felt quite amazing, so I did some research and put together the relevant information. Water spinach is divided into two major categories: dry planting and water planting, but water-planted water spinach is more crisp and tender, offers more growing space, and the cost is indeed very small.

This kind of pond cultivation of water spinach has requirements: fish and shrimp cannot be raised in the pond, because the vegetable roots will be bitten and damaged. The growing cycle of water-cultivated water spinach is generally more than half a year, from April to October, and it can be harvested once every 20 days, with a yield of 7 jin per 1 sq m. On the market, one jin costs at least 6 yuan, and in general large supermarkets it is even more expensive, so the returns are still quite considerable.

Water spinach prevents heatstroke and relieves fever, cools the blood and removes toxins, so it is the best-selling vegetable in summer. For example, when I usually order takeout, if possible, I will definitely order a portion of water spinach. Stir-fried with garlic is the most delicious!
