What Plants Are Found in Water
This article introduces the types of plants found in water and discusses topics related to the cultivation of ten common aquatic flowers, such as narcissus and hyacinth. Corrections are welcome if there are any mistakes!
Suitable plants for hydroponics include:
Narcissus, hyacinth, lotus, water lily,富贵竹 (Fortune Bamboo), copper coin grass, evergreen, water bamboo, red anthurium, green vines, hanging orchid, white anthurium, etc.
Narcissus
Narcissus is one of China's top ten famous flowers and a traditional ornamental plant. After purchasing, simply place it upright in a shallow pot with water covering 1/3 of the bulb and it can be left alone. Place it in a sunny location, and it will grow and bloom within two months, requiring very little maintenance.
Hyacinth: Flower Spike, Fragrant
Hyacinth is a perennial herbaceous bulbous plant of the hyacinth family. When in bloom, the leaves support the flower buds, like a mother caring for her child. Hyacinth flowers have a strong fragrance and are known as one of the most fragrant flowering plants. A pot of hyacinth can fill a room with fragrance. Although the scent of hyacinth flowers is not toxic and a small amount ingested by humans does not cause a significant reaction, the strong fragrance and aromatic substances released can cause adverse reactions in humans if inhaled for a long period. Therefore, it is important to keep the room well-ventilated when hyacinth is in bloom and avoid placing it in the bedroom.
Hydroponic Copper Coin Grass
Copper coin grass can be directly planted in a Qing stone trough. Use sunlight-exposed tap water and it will thrive quickly. Change the water once a week, place the copper coin grass in a living room or on a balcony with scattered light, and add 1-2 drops of nutrient solution to the bottle every month to keep it lush and green.
Fortune Bamboo
Fortune bamboo has thick stems and leaves with high ornamental value, symbolizing "fortune, peace, and prosperity," and is loved by many gardening enthusiasts. When hydroponically growing fortune bamboo, pay attention to the water quality and let the tap water sit for a day in advance. To promote better growth, apply a light fertilizer every two to three months.

Water Bamboo
Water bamboo has tall internodes, is easy to manage and cultivate, and has a graceful and elegant appearance. Paired with artificial mountains and stones to create a water stone arrangement, it has a natural beauty. As an aquatic plant, water symbolizes wealth, so water bamboo also has the implication of generating wealth. Placing a pot by the door can attract wealth and bring fortune.
Green Vines
Hydroponic green vines are an excellent indoor decorative plant, known for their climbing and ornamental leaves. The vines are soft and the leaves are delicate. Placed on the top of furniture, the vines can hang down gracefully, or be coiled into a circle if they become too long, creating a green relief.
Evergreen
Evergreen prefers a humid growing environment, which is met by hydroponics. However, during hydroponic cultivation, extra care must be taken, especially when changing water. Dirty water should not be used; tap water is best, and it should be soaked for two hours before changing the water to help the plant roots absorb nutrients.
