Before it fell into the ambush, the temperature had already rubbed straight upwards, and it had soared to 40 ° C.
On such a hot day, most of the flowers and plants are withered and succulents enter a dormant period. Fortunately, there are also aquatic plants, which lingbo come to create a cool summer feeling for us.
Today, I introduce several aquatic plants that can be planted at home, even if there is only a small tank, you can watch the flowers and leaves, soothe the irritability in your heart.
1. Bowl lotus
The C protagonist of the summer flower is the lotus flower, but the thought of going to the poisonous sun to appreciate the lotus... Tired of not loving. In fact, planting a bowl of lotus can realize the desire to enjoy the lotus at home without leaving home.
Bowl lotus, meaning the lotus flower planted in the bowl, small in size, Lingbo Cui Cover, swaying posture will blow the summer away, bringing a summer cool.

The first time I tried to plant bowl lotus, Xiaobian gave two suggestions:
1. Planting with seed lotus, the success rate is higher;
2. Choose a container with a diameter of 15-20cm and an inner depth of 7-12cm.
Bowl lotus likes light, try to put it on the south balcony, sufficient light is conducive to the flowering of bowl lotus. Bowl lotus also likes water, but afraid of flooding, remember not to soak the leaves in water.
Wait until the bowl of lotus blossoms, placed on the table, window sill, the breeze floating, the flowers and leaves are commensurate, as if the lotus pond was moved home.
2. A leaf lotus
One leaf and one bodhi, one flower and one world. A leaf lotus, just listening to the name makes you feel a little Zen.
It is also a true flower as its name suggests, and a floating leaf on the water can produce delicate small flowers.

Turquoise heart-shaped leaves, with obvious notches, sway slightly on the surface of the water, full of coolness.
While raising, there are flower stalks that sneak out from the gaps in the leaves and proudly emerge from the water. The bones are very similar to jasmine flowers, and the flowers after blooming are in the shape of a furry five-pointed star, the petals are covered with a layer of white feathers, and the middle of the petals is dotted with goose yellow flower buds, which looks delicate and moving.

Although a lotus has a "lotus" in its name, it does not belong to the lotus genus, but is a genus of watercress in the family nightjar, alias honeysuckle lotus and Indian lotus.
Maintenance is also very simple, find a container hydroponic can be. Many sellers say that a leaf lotus does not need soil, floating on the surface of the water can flower, although yes, but adding some pond mud to the water, is conducive to its continued reproduction, continue to grow new leaves.
This is a lotus leaf, not only full of Zen, but also the mood of endless life.
3. Pingpeng grass
At the first sight of Pingpeng grass, a moment of clumsy recognition of "Pingfeng grass", Xiaobian also sighed that this name is really interesting, Pingfeng Pingfeng, Pingshui meets, the mood is full, but also very suitable.
However, people call it Pingpeng Grass!

Pingpeng grass prefers warm waters and is mostly used for pond water features. If you want to have a pot at home, it is also suitable. But it is best to use a water tank to maintain, give it enough room to grow, plant it in late March or early April every year, and wait for flowering in early summer.
Pingpeng grass likes the sun, must be placed in a place with sufficient light, otherwise the plant will grow poorly and it will be difficult to flower.
4. Yellow Flower Ling
Yellowrobial, an annual floating herb, is a genus of lilacs in the family Willowaceae, also known as clove leaf lilac, Guatemalan water clove. Its leaves are very distinctive, appearing in a regular diamond shape, neatly arranged from the inside out, like a scattered lotus seat.

Yellow flower ling likes warmth and sunshine, indoor maintenance needs to be placed in the morning sun, receiving sufficient light, so that the leaves will show a good red color.
When planting, it is best to be half soil and half water, and the roots are buried in the water and the sediment can be planted with humus-rich pond mud.
See? Raising aquatic plants at home does not necessarily mean digging a pond. A bowl, a pot, a jar, and a puddle of water can raise turquoise leaves and beautiful flowers.
In the summer heat, sitting in front of the table window, watching the leaves swaying slightly, watching the flowers swaying, the small water features, can also give birth to infinite interest.
