Bonsai recommendation: keep water hyacinth as bonsai flowers

Bonsai recommendation: water hyacinth as a bonsai flower to raise water hyacinth, also known as water hyacinth, also known as water hyacinth, because its flowers grow like standard Phoenix eyes, the flowers are lilac, but there is a little yellow in the middle, the more it looks, the more like an eye. The water hyacinth growing on the water surface is very fast, adaptable and able to reproduce, so at the turn of summer and autumn, they bloom one by one and look quite spectacular.

In history, water hyacinth was once an ornamental flower, which originated in the Amazon River Basin of South America. It has been recorded that it was only introduced into China in 1901, and the name "Eichhornia crassipes" came into being at this time. At that time, it was once praised by Americans as "the lilac Corolla to beautify the world" because it could clean up the water quality-- it could absorb a lot of harmful substances such as heavy metals in the water, and it could also be used as animal feed. But up to now, water hyacinth has become an alien harmful invasive species, and by 1997, it has been listed as one of the "top ten malignant weeds in the world" by botany.

For one thing, its growth is amazing. Each water hyacinth can produce hundreds of seeds per inflorescence, and it also has a mode of asexual reproduction, that is, lateral buds grow from the root of the leaves, thus quickly reproducing a new plant. Once the growth is unrestrained, it will soon cover the entire surface of the water, blocking the sun from entering the water and blocking the atmosphere. Other aquatic plants and animals die due to lack of oxygen and lack of sunlight. Second, it does not degrade all the toxins after absorbing heavy metal pollutants in the water. Once a large number of plants die and sink to the bottom of the river, it will cause secondary pollution of the water quality.

However, now some people plant water hyacinth as a kind of bonsai plant, because its flowers are really beautiful. It is just worth reminding that the water hyacinth should not be raised with too clean water. The more you use the dirty water from those smelly ponds, the better and more beautiful the water hyacinth will grow. And note that when you don't want to keep it, it's best not to pour it into the pond at will.
