12 plants that can't lack in your aquatic garden<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

\"12Interest in aquatic flora has been increasing with the enhancement of the water element in Landscaping. We see more and more the insertion of water mirrors, lakes and biological pools in the landscape projects, which leads us to ask ourselves: What about plants? Yes! They are present! Both inside and outside the water, in that soaked region that we call marginal or palustre.<\/span><\/p>\n

Aquatic plants are an eternal source of fascination for those passionate about plants and gardens. And it is not surprising! They are always green and with beautiful surprises throughout the year for us privileged by the tropical climate. But they are also the source of many doubts. \"What plant is that?\", \"How to plant it?\" and \"What care should I take?\" are just the beginning.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, I selected some species with their basic characteristics and cultivation method, which certainly cannot be missing in your aquatic garden! They are divided into the following groups to facilitate the choice when using them: Marginals or Palustres; Fixed Floatings Aquatics; and Free Floating Aquatics.<\/span><\/p>\n

Marginals or Palustrial<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Marginal or palustrial plants are those that develop in soaked soil or under a small water layer, a condition found on the banks of lakes and ponds. They will form the frame of our aquatic garden, highlighting the water surface in the middle of the landscape.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fixed Floating Aquatics<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

The fixed floating aquatic plants are planted at the bottom of the lake, where their roots and rhizomes are fixed, while their leaves reach the water surface. The depth of planting varies a lot with the species, so it is always important to seek to know more about the plant we are growing!<\/span><\/p>\n

Free Floating Aquatics<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Plants that are floating on the water surface and do not need a substrate to root are known as free floating aquatic plants. It is a very interesting group that gives movement to the aquatic garden, since they change their position according to the movement of the water.<\/span><\/p>\n

Characteristics and cultivation:<\/strong>Delicate aquatic pteridophyte, up to 2.5 cm. It has a branched stem and numerous roots. Ideal for small environments, such as vases, tubs and fountains, but also in larger lakes, since used in forming small groups. The half-shade has a green color, while in full sun it acquires a red color. This species has cavities inhabited by cyanobacteria, which fix nitrogen in the medium. The excess of plants on the water surface should be removed whenever necessary, especially in the summer - the time of greatest growth.<\/span><\/p>\n

These species are just a little of what exists in the universe of aquatic plants, but they will certainly make our aquatic garden more beautiful and more alive. It is always worth remembering that the management of these plants is essential. Most aquatic plants are very vigorous and fast growing, so they need pruning and removal of excess plants constantly.<\/span><\/p>\n
