What is the plant with the most water? What are the plants in the water?

Nine Dead Resurrection Grass.

Water is the source of life, and there are varying amounts of water in various plants. Aquatic plants have the highest water content, up to 98; The water content of herbaceous plants is not low, about 70 80 ; The water content of woody plants is less, also 40 50; Plants that live in desert areas have very little water content, only 16. If this percentage is lower, the protoplasm in these plant cells will be destroyed and die.

However, there is a plant whose water content has been reduced to less than 5, and it has almost become "hay", but it can still maintain its life. There was a time when the whole plant was made into a dried specimen and placed in a taxonomic specimen cup, and a few years later the hay accidentally fell into the pool, and when it was found the next day, people were amazed to see that it had grown up and became vigorous again.

This peculiar plant is the famous "Nine Dead Soul Grass".

The Nine Dead Resurrection Grass is a perennial herbaceous fern that is not unjustly called a curly cypress. It is about 5 15 cm high, the main stem is erect, the tip is clustered with twigs, fan-like distribution, light green. It has a strong ability to resist drought, and when the weather is particularly dry, its branches and leaves are rolled up and shrunk into a ball like a human fist, and the plant body becomes withered and scorched, as if it has died.

In fact, this is a kind of "suspended animation", once it gets water, it desperately drinks water, the curled branches and leaves are flattened again, the vitality is gradually revealed, and the "soul" comes. In this way, the curly cypress may come back from the dead again and again, and for this reason there are also those who call it longevity grass, immortal grass, and long-lived grass.

The secret of the extraordinary "soul rejuvenation" ability of the Nine Dead Soul Resurrection Grass lies in the "improvisation" of its cells. When drought comes, the cells of the whole body are in a dormant state, and the metabolism is almost completely stopped, as if it is dead, and after getting water, the cells of the whole body will re-report to resume normal physiological activities.

Speaking of which, the ability of the Nine Dead Soul Grass was also forced out by the environment. It grows on sunny slopes or in crevices of rocks, where the soil is poor and its water storage capacity is poor, and its water source is almost entirely dependent on rain falling from the sky, and it is forced to develop this "skill" in order to survive in the absence of rain for a long time.

Nine Dead Soul Grass is widely distributed in our country, it can be ornamental, but also medicinal, the whole herb has the effect of stopping bleeding and astringent. The folk will burn the whole plant into ashes, and it can be used internally for all kinds of hemorrhage, and mixed with vegetable oil for external use, and can be used for all kinds of knife wounds. It is said that it is also a beauty medicine, and after grinding the powder, it can be applied with egg white to make the face smooth.

In South America, there are also the same kind of Nine Dead Resurrection Grass, but the same kind there is more powerful, not only can fake death in place. Serve the water to revive the soul, and will also take the initiative to leave the growing place to find a new home with water. During the dry season, the grass will break free from the soil on its own, and then roll its whole body into a round ball, and the grass ball will roll forward with the wind, and if it encounters a lot of water, the grass ball will become its original form and take root in the soil.

Naturally, when there is a lack of water, it will not stay well in its new home, and it will leave its home again and go out to wander.

The plant with the most water content is pothos (scientific name: epipremnum aureum).

Pothos is a common indoor foliage plant, its leaves are thick, juicy, water absorption capacity and water storage capacity is very high, and in a relatively humid environment, it can directly absorb water and nutrients through the leaf surface, so the water content of pothos is very high.

In addition, pothos can also release negative ions, which has a good effect on purifying the air and removing formaldehyde and other beneficial substances, so it is widely used for the beautification and purification of the indoor environment.

1. Lotus

Lotus is a very common aquatic plant, we often see lotus flowers in the pond or river in the park, the wide lotus leaves float on the water, and after the summer, it will bloom beautiful lotus flowers, lotus seeds are its fruits, it is edible, and its underwater rhizomes are also edible, that is, the lotus root we usually see, it is a very flavorful delicacy.

2. Water hyacinth.

The scientific name of water hyacinth is phoenix eye blue, and generally if you have a fish pond at home, you prefer to put a few water hyacinth on the water surface. Water hyacinth is very adaptable to the environment, just need to put it on the surface of the water, it can grow well, and it can also reproduce a lot. Water hyacinth not only purifies the water, but also shields the fish from the scorching sun.

3. Daffodils.

Daffodils are perennial herbaceous plants in the Lycoris family, which have spherical underground bulbs and are more suitable for water cultivation. However, it is necessary to pay attention to the change of water quality when raising water, if the water quality becomes poor, it will directly affect the growth of the bulb, and in severe cases, there will be rot. Daffodils have a relatively strong resistance to negativity, suitable for maintenance in the office and study, and can be watched to relieve eye discomfort when you are tired of reading at work.

Fourth, hyacinths.

Hyacinth has hypertrophic bulbs, when raising in water, you can directly soak the bottom of its bulbs in water, regularly add nutrient solution dropwise in the water, and put it in the position of astigmatism to maintain it to grow very well, and the management is also relatively worry-free, and the most important thing is that the flowers of hyacinths are very fragrant.

5. Reeds. Reed is a kind of aquatic or wet plant, its growth is inseparable from the water source, mostly distributed in rivers, rivers, lakes, ponds, ditches, wetlands and other locations, and its flowers are highly ornamental. As early as the war years, the reeds of Baiyangdian Lake had famous anti-Japanese achievements.

6. Other plants.

Aquatic plants also have canna, goldfish algae, water lily, calamus, ginger flower, water chestnut, rush grass, etc., in addition to aquatic plants, there are many plants that can be maintained by hydroponics, such as spider plant, green basket, tulip, duck's foot, rich bamboo, anthurium, smooth sailing, copper coin grass, monstera and many other plants can be protected by hydroponics.

In swampy areas or forest depressions, a bryophyte called sphagnum moss grows. It is usually pale green, but when it is dry, it is grayish-white or yellowish-white, and it clumps into cushions. This plant absorbs 10 25 of its own body weight

It is 1 times stronger than the water absorption capacity of absorbent cotton, and it is really the plant with the strongest water absorption ability.

After disinfection of large species of sphagnum moss, it can be used as dressings or first aid kits instead of absorbent cotton. Because sphagnum moss contains sphagnol and syringaldehyde and a variety of enzymes, when used as wound dressings, it has the effect of astringency and sterilization.

into wound healing.

Sphagnum mosses are found in marshes in mountains and woodlands, or in depressions and grasses under rock walls where water often drips.

The sphagnum moss plant can absorb 20 to 25 times its own weight in water, and its overgrowth in forested areas often leads to forest destruction. During the First World War, due to the lack of medicinal cotton, Canada, the United Kingdom, Italy and other countries used the water-absorbing properties of peat moss plants to replace cotton to make dressings. Peat formed by the long-term deposition of sphagnum moss and other plants has 1 ton of fuel heat equivalent to tons of coal.

Sphagnum moss plants are still the best packaging material for seedlings, flowers, etc. for long-distance transportation.

Because the desert area has an arid, hot, windy and sandy climate, the soil has a high salt content. Most perennial psammophytes have a strong root system to increase water uptake in sandy soils. Generally, the root depth and root width are many times larger than the plant height and plant width, and the horizontal roots (lateral roots) can expand far in all directions, and do not have stratification, but spread and grow evenly, avoiding consuming too much sand moisture in one place.

The strongest are plants such as yellow willow, sand willow, camel thorn, etc.

According to the lifestyle of aquatic plants, they are generally divided into the following categories: upright plants, floating leaf plants, submerged plants and floating plants, and wet plants.

Water plants: lotus, reed, cattail, mushroom, shallot, reed bamboo, calamus, pampas reed, black triangular water, water candle, Ze Yuan, Cigu and so on.

Floating Leaf Plants: Radix Radix, Bamboo Leaf Radix Herb, Water Lily, Pinchop Grass, Wattle, Water Chestnut, Radix Seed, Lotus Wangli, etc.

Wet plants: canna, barracuda grass, celandine, zaili flower, aquatic iris, red knotweed, wolf's tail, cattail grass and other plants suitable for growing near the water.

Submerged plants: Eyeweed, Eyelid, Cauliflower, Cauliflower, Acorus, Bitter Grass, Goldfish Algae, Plantain, Foxtail Panicle, Black Algae, etc.

Floating plants: duckweed, purple-backed duckweed, phoenix blue, large stalk and other plants.

Hanging bamboo plum, pothos, dripping Guanyin, water cress, turtle back bamboo, mini turtle back bamboo, calla lily, Caiyun Pavilion, cardinal coral, pocket coconut, rich bamboo, etc.

Auspicious grass, spider plant, evergreen, aloe vera, water lily, lotus.

1 Water-type aquatic plants.

The upright aquatic plants are tall and have bright flowers, most of which are divided into stems and leaves; It is erect and straight, the lower part or base is sunk in the water, the roots or ground stems are rooted in the mud to grow and develop, and the upper plant protrudes from the water. There are many kinds of water-type plants, such as lotus, yellow-flowered iris, celandine, calamus, cattail, cigu, etc.

2 Floating-leaf aquatic plants.

The rhizomes of floating-leaf aquatic plants are well developed, the flowers are large, the colors are bright, there is no obvious above-ground stem or the stem is weak and cannot stand upright, and they usually store a large amount of gas in their bodies, so that the leaves or plants can float on the water surface. The common species are royal lotus, water lily, pinny grass, gourd, water vetch, etc., and there are many types.

3 Floating aquatic plants.

There are few species of floating aquatic plants, the roots of this kind of plants are not born in the mud, the plant body floats on the water surface, drifts around with the current, wind and waves, most of them are mainly ornamental leaves, and provide decoration and green shade for the pond water. And because they can absorb minerals from the water and block the sunlight that comes into the water, they can also inhibit the growth of algae. Floating plants grow quickly and provide shelter on the surface of the water more quickly.

However, some varieties grow and reproduce very quickly and may become a pest in the water, such as water hyacinth. So you need to fish some out of a net regularly, otherwise they'll cover the entire surface of the water. Also, do not introduce these plants into larger ponds, as it will be very difficult to remove them from large ponds.

4. Submerged aquatic plants.

The rhizomes of submerged aquatic plants are born in the mud, and the whole plant sinks into the water body, and the aeration tissue is particularly developed, which is conducive to gas exchange in an environment where there is an extreme lack of air in the water. The leaves are mostly narrow or filamentous, and all parts of the plant can absorb nutrients in the water, and can grow and develop normally under the condition of low light underwater. There are certain requirements for water quality, because water quality will affect its use of low light.

The flowers are small, the flowering period is short, and the foliage is the mainstay. They are able to produce oxygen during the day, which helps to balance the chemical composition of the water and promote the growth of fish.

5 Water-edge plantsThese plants grow at the edge of the pool, from the depth of 23 cm to the mud at the edge of the pool. There are many varieties of water-edge plants, which mainly play an ornamental role. Water-edge plants planted around small wildlife pools can provide a hiding place for waterfowl and other animals that visit the pools.

Water-edge plants that grow in natural conditions may spread in patches, but after transplanting to a small pond, as long as you prune them regularly and use a pot to control the spread of roots, there is no problem. Some prefabricated pools with shallow water are specially prepared for waterside plants. Of course, plants can also be planted in flat-bottomed pots, directly in shallow water.

6 Moisture-loving plants.

These plants grow in moist soil along pools or streams, but their roots cannot be submerged in water. Moisture-loving plants are not true aquatic plants, but they prefer to live where there is water, and their roots can only grow vigorously if they are kept moist for a long time. Common plants such as primroses, hostas and brides, as well as woody plants such as willows.

Water hyacinth, whale, long duckweed, water peanut.
