Which hydroponic cold-tolerant plants are there
An article provides a detailed introduction to the types of hydroponic cold-tolerant plants and shares related experiences on cultivating five easy-to-grow hydroponic plants. Corrections are welcome if there are any mistakes!
I would like to introduce several aesthetically pleasing aquatic plants that can be grown in small aquariums, but they require moderate sunlight and should not be placed in overly shaded areas. It would be even better if you have a balcony with good ventilation or a patio.
First: Water chestnut smartweed
Water chestnut smartweed, also known as yellow water chestnut, has another name, water fireworks. It can be planted in a pot first, then the pot is placed at the bottom of the aquarium, allowing it to grow naturally. Its leaves are diamond-shaped and layered outward, giving a particularly regular and geometric beauty.
One thing to note is that water chestnut smartweed is a tropical plant that prefers a warm and humid environment all year round and can grow well even in hot summers. If you are in the northern region, it needs to be moved indoors during winter, or it can only be planted as an annual.
Second: Water hyacinth
Many people do not particularly like water hyacinth, especially those from southern regions. Its common names are water caltrop or floating water lily, and it is a plant that floats on the water's surface.
Water hyacinth can now be seen in most areas south of the Yangtze River in China. It is an invasive plant and should not be randomly discarded into paddy fields, ponds, ditches, or rivers.
If you like water hyacinth, you can only plant it in a small container, grow it as a small potted plant, and cultivate it hydroponically, providing ample sunlight and regularly supplementing fertilizer. During the summer and autumn seasons each year, it can produce charming blue and white flowers.
Third: Water lily
Water lilies come in many varieties, and you must choose one that is suitable for your home. They are perennial aquatic herbs with thick and short rhizomes, which can be planted in a small pot and then placed in a small aquarium to be cared for.
To plant water lilies, you can directly purchase rhizomes for cultivation. Their rhizomes are relatively thick and can grow upright or creeping, depending on the variety planted.
