What kind of aquatic plants are best to raise?

Aquatic plants generally refer to herbaceous plants that can grow in water, together with aquatic animals, bottom sand and water to create a circular ecosystem. The soluble part of animal excreta is absorbed by aquatic plants to avoid the deterioration of water quality, while the insoluble part will become bottom sediment and fix the roots of aquatic plants. Let's take a look at what aquatic plants are best to raise.

Bitter grass

Sophora alopecuroides is a perennial stemless submerged herb of the family Euphorbiaceae, commonly known as noodle grass, asparagus, flat stretchgrass, etc., with stolons, basal leaves, narrow and long leaves, leaf length varies with the depth of the water level, green translucent leaves, Tingyu standing in the water, strong adaptability to water quality, like weak alkaline water quality, do not like high temperature, cold resistance, like light, often born in stream ditches, rivers, ponds, lakes.

Crown grass

Crown grass, also known as Amazon sword grass, crown grass, for the Alismatidae thorn alisma large water grass, petiole stout, leaves broad, graceful leaf shape, the largest crown grass can grow out of nearly a hundred leaves, the maximum leaf length up to 50 cm, leaf width up to 8 cm, known as the king of aquatic plants, suitable for growth in weakly acidic, neutral water, like temperature, like light, water temperature to more than 24 ℃, 26 ℃ 28 ℃ the most suitable.

Fine leaf crown

The fine-leaf crown is a small swamp plant native to Brazil. The lanceolate leaves are 10-15 cm long and 1 cm wide, with almost no petiole, a total height of about 20 cm, and 3 spiral flowers about 1.5 cm in size, with six pistils. The leaves are green and firm, the main veins are clear, and the veins on both sides are not obvious. Propagating by dividing buds, offspring will grow on the reproductive stem of the mother plant. Like strong light, 20-25 ℃ is the best.

Mini crown

Mini Crown originated in Brazil, the lanceolate leaf length 5cm 15cm, width 0.51cm to adapt to different light conditions, compact so that it can be arranged in the aquarium of aquatic plants, as a foreground grass is even better, can not be planted in coarse sand environment, need to supplement iron fertilizer at any time to stolon reproduction, water temperature 22: 27 ℃ is appropriate.

Wave crown

The wave crown is native to southern Brazil and grows in waters with slow currents and low water temperatures. the leaves in the water are lanceolate, 25cm long and 2cm wide, and the edge is wavy, so it is called wavy grass. There are oval aerial leaves, 15 cm long and 9 cm wide, and flowers about 2 cm. They are propagated by lateral buds on the rhizome and the water temperature is 22-30 ℃.

Water banyan

Water banyan is a kind of Araceae aquatic plant distributed in West Africa. compared with other aquatic plants, it can be said to be very resilient and easy to grow, but if it is planted randomly, it will slowly rot and dwarf, and eventually lead to wilting. Like sufficient sunlight, the hardness of the water quality should be slightly higher, the content of nitrate should be low, the bottom bed should have enough bottom fertilizer, and the suitable temperature for growth is 22-30 ℃.
