Aquatic plants
Many people will breed some aquatic plants while breeding ginseng fish, and naturally there are For those who raise aquatic plants independently, the method of raising aquatic plants is different from that of raising garfish, and there are many types of aquatic plants. Today we will take a look at them all. What are the common aquatic plants we see? What methods of breeding are not useful?
Cultivation of aquatic plants in the fish tank is of vital significance to raising good hot-tailed fish. If you only raise fish in the fish tank without planting aquatic plants, its visual value will be reduced, which will make people feel that the tank is missing some items and feels deserted. If it is appropriate to cultivate some aquatic plants, the fish will move back and forth among the branches of the aquatic plants, and the fish and plants will be illuminated, which will greatly increase their observation value. In this way, the cultivation of aquatic plants is also crucial to the growth of cold fish. The aquatic plants perform photosynthesis during the day, releasing the oxygen needed by the hot fish and absorbing the carbon dioxide exhaled by the hot fish. During the growth process, the aquatic plants can also absorb and digest fish feces and other substances harmful to fish. Some hot fish also lay their eggs on the leaves of aquatic plants for hatching. The aquatic plants are surrounded by the ideal habitat for hot fish. The aquatic plants block the strong light and create a comfortable living environment for the hot fish. The aquatic plants can also clean the water and accumulate dirt.
Most of the aquatic plants currently cultivated in our country are introduced from overseas and can be divided into four categories:
1. Submersed plants: take root at the bottom of the water and grow in the water. Stem, leaves.
2. Emergent plants: take root at the bottom of the water, grow stems in the water, and the leaves show the water surface or float on the water surface.
3. Floating plants: leaves float on the water and roots and stems hang down in the water.
4. Central plant: It does not take root under the water, but grows in the water.
(1) Crown Herb
Crown Herb is produced in Brazil, South America. Also known as Amazon sword grass and crown grass. Crown grass is a huge aquatic plant with strong petioles, round leaves and beautiful leaf shapes. The largest crown grass can grow nearly a hundred leaves, with the largest leaf length up to 50 cm and leaf width up to 8 cm. Crown grass is luxurious, beautiful and magnificent, and is called the king of water plants.
Crown grass likes strong light. It has strong adaptation ability and is easy to grow. It should receive about four hours of light every day. The leaves of crown grass are relatively strong, so do not move them frequently to avoid damaging the leaves. The growth of the ginseng stems and ramifications of the crown grass is important, but the growth of the ginseng stems is important. The ginseng stems of the crown grass grow toward the water surface and diagonally upwards, and each stem can grow more than a dozen.A small grass can occasionally sprout two or three stems at the same time, which shows its strong growth ability. When the roots of the small crown grass are long enough to be cultivated, they should be cut off and planted separately. If the roots of the crown grass grow new plants, when they grow to about 20 cm, they can be split and planted again.
(2) Watermelon grass
Watermelon grass is also called melon net grass, melon sword grass, and defending melon grass. The plant shape of watermelon grass is like crown grass, with shorter leaf stems and wider leaves. On its grass-green leaves, you can see clear veins, which are like clues in the watermelon rind, so it is called watermelon grass.
Watermelon grass is highly adaptable and likes strong light, but it grows slowly. The growth method of watermelon grass is the same as that of crown grass.
(3) Banana grass
Banana grass is a medium-sized aquatic plant. Its leaves are large and round, the leaves are not flat, slightly wavy, the leaf stems are not long, and the leaves are full. In the water, it is very valuable to observe. Banana grass also has tall climbing stems, which makes it even more beautiful. Banana grass has strong adaptability, grows quickly, and likes strong light.
The growth of banana grass is also supported by ginseng stems.
(4) Water lily
Water lily is a huge grass, comparable to crown grass. Its leaf stems are thick and long, and can grow to the water surface. The leaves are long and can be It grows to 20 centimeters long and 10 centimeters wide, and floats on the water's surface. It is very similar to the water lily whose leaves float on the water's surface, so it is called water lily.
Water lilies like strong light and should receive 4 hours of light every day.
Water lilies grow from stems, which is similar to crown grass.
(5) Capsicum grass
Capsicum grass can be divided into green pepper grass and purple pepper grass. The important distinction is: the stems and leaves of green pepper grass are green. The back of purple pepper grass' leaf stems and leaves are lavender, and the reverse side is green.
Capsicum grass is called pepper grass because its leaves start like pepper leaves. Capsicum grass has strong adaptability and is easy to grow. It should receive about four hours of light every day. Chili grass leaves and stems are relatively strong; do not move them frequently to avoid breaking.
Capsicum grass grows by division. New plants will often grow from their roots, and they can be cultivated again after their root systems have grown.
(6) Loquat grass
Loquat grass is produced in subtropical areas and is a leafy aquatic plant. The leaves of loquat grass are symmetrical, the stems are strong, and they grow quickly. To make the plant shape of the loquat grass good-looking, it must be pointed when it grows to a certain height so that it can grow more branches. In this way, the loquat grass can grow into a crown shape, which is very good-looking.
Loquat grass likes strong light and should receive about four hours of light every day.
Loquat grass is grown by cuttings. Cut off a section of its branch and cultivate it separately, and it will survive.
(7) Netgrass
Netgrass is produced on the island of Madagascar in Africa. It is also called Madagascar lacegrass and is the most precious aquatic plant., its price is also quite high. But in its native place, it is eaten as a vegetable.
The plant shape of net grass is like crown grass, and its leaves are net-shaped. You can see the objects on the opposite side through the leaves, which is very magical.
Net grass does not like strong light. If the light is too strong, it will be covered with green moss; if the light is too weak, it will die. It is one of the most difficult aquatic plants to grow. The water temperature for raising net grass should be maintained at around 25 degrees. There is no advantage in growing taller or shorter.
The net grass has white flowers. It is grown with red seeds in its native place. It is difficult to grow artificially.
Aquatic plants must achieve photosynthetic efficiency to achieve growth, that is, the chloroplasts of aquatic plants use carbon dioxide to synthesize sugars and oxygen in the presence of light. Therefore, in order to meet the needs of aquatic plants for photosynthetic effects, there must be appropriate light, sufficient carbon dioxide, and sufficient nutrients for aquatic plants to enable the healthy growth of aquatic plants.
Suitable lighting: It can simulate the way the sun shines, and use full-spectrum aquarium lamps in the three bands of red, blue, and green, or metal halogen bulbs. Continuously illuminate for 8-10 hours a day, and use the maximum number of sets of lamps as the criterion.
Sufficient carbon dioxide: Aquatic plants must have carbon dioxide to perform photosynthetic functions. When there is insufficient carbon dioxide in the water, aquatic plants will stop growing or die, especially the more difficult red ones. Aquatic plants require sufficient carbon dioxide to survive, so the carbon dioxide concentration in the water should be maintained between 10-20 mg/I to allow aquatic plants to grow healthily.
Sufficient aquatic plant nutrition: The chloroplasts of aquatic plants must rely on all necessary inorganic nutrient salts to grow well and exert maximum photosynthetic efficiency, so we must regularly supplement aquatic plant liquid fat and root fat.
There are many types of aquatic plants, and the breeding methods will also be different. Before learning the above methods, you must understand what kind of aquatic plants you are raising. Do not breed them blindly, otherwise you will not be able to grow them. Need troubles.
