What are the common indoor aquatic plant varieties?
There are many indoor aquatic plants, and some friends may not be particularly familiar with them. Today, let me give you a brief introduction to the common indoor aquatic plants. Let us take a look together.
What are the common indoor aquatic plants?
1. Lucky bamboo
An evergreen upright shrub of the genus Dracaena in the Asparagaceae family, very suitable for indoor water-grown flowers. The leaves of lucky bamboo are emerald green, and the stems are straight and round like bamboo. The leaves are ovate with pointed tips, and the base of the leaf stalk clasps the stem. It is an extremely shade-tolerant plant and still grows well, upright and strong, under low-light conditions. It can be placed indoors for a long time for its foliage and does not need special care; as long as there is enough water, it will grow vigorously. When growing it in water, cut the lucky bamboo stems into small sections of more than 20 cm as cuttings and insert them into water. As long as 1/3 of the cutting can be immersed in water, it can take root and survive.
2. Spider plant
A perennial evergreen herbaceous flowering plant with a rosette of roots in the Asparagaceae family, with clustered, linear leaves and vertical yellow-white stripes along the edges or center. In summer and autumn, slender, flexible, drooping runners emerge from between the leaves, and young leaves and aerial roots sprout at the tips or nodes, bearing white flowers. Spider plants can be grown indoors in water; they not only purify the air, but are also attractive in appearance and easy to manage. Dig out a potted spider plant, remove the soil from the roots, cut off old roots and rotten roots, keep the fibrous roots, put it into a container or bottle, add clean water and flower nutrient solution to the bottle, and let the spider plant roots grow immersed in the water.
3. Golden pothos
A plant of the genus Philodendron in the Araceae family, belonging to climbing foliage flowering plants. It likes warm, humid environments, and its vines can reach several meters long. There are aerial roots at the nodes, and the leaves grow larger as they grow, alternate, and evergreen. The pothos stems are slender and soft, and the leaves are delicate and elegant. Growing it in water is very simple: make sure to change the water once every 2 to 3 days, with a simple nutrient added. Golden pothos has high ornamental value, and its trailing stems hang down naturally. It can both purify the air and make full use of space, adding lively lines and bright colors to a dull cabinet surface.
4. Ivy
A plant of the genus Hedera in the Araliaceae family, it is the most ideal variety for indoor and outdoor vertical greening. It is an evergreen vine with slender, soft branches and aerial roots that climb onto other objects. The leaves are alternate and triangular-ovate, and the demand for potted plants is increasing day by day. It is a typical shade plant and can grow in full-light environments, growing well under warm and humid climatic conditions, but it is not cold-tolerant. Growing it in water is simple, and its vitality is strong.
5. Asparagus fern
A perennial evergreen herbaceous flowering plant of the genus Asparagus in the Asparagaceae family. The stems are slender and weak, and the branches are fine and leaf-like, spreading horizontally. The flowers are small and white. The berries are spherical and black. After the fruit ripens, it presents a scene of little red dots amid dense green, elegant and lovely. The plant has strong shade tolerance and can be placed at the bedside or on a desk, elegant and generous; it is a very good indoor flowering plant. Asparagus fern is also an ideal supporting material for cut flowers. In recent years, water-grown asparagus fern has been successfully developed, and placing it indoors is even more elegant.
6. Hyacinth
Hyacinth, also known as Dutch hyacinth, belongs to the genus Hyacinthus in the Asparagaceae family. It is a perennial herb with a spherical or flattened spherical bulb, covered outside with a tunic in colors such as purplish blue or white, and basal leaves that are thick and strap-shaped lanceolate. The flower stem emerges from the center of the leaf stems, with a raceme inflorescence. The flowers are delicate and beautiful, colorful and dazzling, and pleasantly fragrant. It likes a sunny, cool and humid environment, and is suitable both for potting and for water culture. When growing it in water, place its bulb in a hydroponic nutrient solution; its appearance is clean and highly ornamental!
