Indoor aquatic plants and their characteristics are introduced as follows:

Lotus as an indoor aquatic plant

There are many kinds of lotus, divided into two major categories: ornamental and edible. The lotus has the noble character of "being hollow inside and straight outside, not spreading or branching, emerging from mud unsoiled, and washed by clear ripples without being seductive." It is also a plant with very high ornamental value among indoor aquatic plants. The lotus is an aquatic plant and likes relatively stable, calm shallow water, so it is a very suitable aquatic plant for indoor cultivation. Its flowers bloom in summer, and the flowers are very large and very beautiful.

Lysimachia nummularia as an indoor aquatic plant

It has no strict requirements for water quality and can be cultivated in fresh water with lower hardness. Lysimachia nummularia likes an environment with sufficient 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. It 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.

Hornwort as an indoor aquatic plant

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

Ball cactus as an indoor aquatic plant

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

Umbrella papyrus as an indoor aquatic plant

Umbrella papyrus likes warmth and humidity, and likes to grow in water, hence the name umbrella papyrus. 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 to make incense and for burning. Because umbrella papyrus is easy to manage and raise, it can be grown in soil in flower pots, or grown in water in a water-holding container; both water cultivation and pot cultivation are possible.
