Tiger spot water lily

Nymphaea plants are all herbaceous aquatic plants. Their underground stems flourish and are buried in the soil below the water surface. Their round leaves and flowers wander or protrude above the water surface. The leaves of Nymphaea and Elyspermum have one longitudinal lobe, while the leaves of Regala have entire margins. The plants in this family are perennial aquatic plants that are good at hot weather and warm weather. The form genus is Nymphaeum. Because Nymphaeaceae is an ancient dicotyledonous plant and has some characteristics of single-leafed plants, it plays a very important role in studying the origin of dicotyledonous plants and its role in the evolution of angiosperms.

1. Tiger water lily

Dicotyledonous plants, floating-leaf aquatic plants. Its characteristics are that its water is often brown in color and has significant brown freckles. The shape of the grass will change with the brightness. Under strong light, the petiole will be shorter and the color will turn to light purple brown, the more beautiful the grass shape will be. The floating leaves are round, green, with serrated edges, and produce white flowers similar to common water lilies. Although corms can be grown, the growth ratio is relatively short. It is less cold-resistant and has no obvious dormancy. If the water temperature is lower than 12℃, the plant may die, but its submersible seeds can survive the winter and germinate and grow again when the temperature rises. It is generally grown by stems, but it grows faster by seeds. It is necessary to use strong lighting when planting in aquariums. However, excessive lighting can easily produce floating leaves. It is best to cut off floating leaves to avoid blocking the light and affecting the growth of other aquatic plants.

Two and three-cornered taro



Red Triangle Taro

Height 20-80cm, water temperature 22-30C, pH5-8, positive grass, moderate to heavy light, leaves can grow It reaches the water surface and sprouts beautiful flowers on the water surface.

To grow well, you can add root fat and act as a foreground grass. Both are available.

Red triangle taro is a large emergent aquatic plant with triangular arrow-shaped leaves. The leaf surface is reddish brown with dark red freckles. With long petioles, the leaves can grow to the water surface and bloom beautiful flowers on the water surface. Occasionally, they will be in a dormant state, so that all the leaves fall off, leaving only the roots. The next year, new leaves will be resurrected and continue to grow. To grow well, you can add more roots. Fat, grass in the middle and in front of the action can be used.

Green triangle taro is a variant of red triangle taro. A small number of plants will gradually change from green to slightly dark red in the process of growth. body. Compared with red varieties, green taro is easier to cultivate, can adapt to a variety of water qualities, and does not require strong light. It grows quickly, easily produces floating leaves and causes slow growth in the water. If this happens, you may want to cut off the floating leaves. Green triangle taro has a relatively large demand for root fat and should be compensated immediately.

3. Purple water lily

Dicotyledonous plants, floating-leaf aquatic plants. Purple lotus root is a very eye-catching aquatic plant. It can be said to be the most beautiful of all water lily plants. Its aquatic leaves are olive green round leaves, similar to those of common water lily plants, and can also produce white flowers. Artificial cultivation may produce darker reddish-purple freckles. It is slightly more difficult to cultivate than the green variety, and it grows more slowly. It can adapt to various water conditions and lighting conditions, and can survive under medium and low lighting conditions. However, if you want to maintain the most beautiful red-purple color, the illumination must be increased. When the purple lotus root system develops, a large amount of root fat must be added to maintain its successful growth.

4. Green Lotus Root



Green henroot

Green hen root is native to Europe and Japan. Planting is relatively easy, and the requirements for water quality are not high. With enough color and fat, 7 to 8 leaves can grow in the water. They are radiating in shape, with cracks at the base of the leaves, oval leaves, and slight waves. Curved shape. It may also grow floating leaves and yellow flowers above the water. There is no high temperature resistance, and the best breeding temperature in summer is lower than 25 degrees. It is suitable for planting in relatively large aquariums, and requires a large amount of root fat, which should be compensated in time.
