With the rapid development of China's economy and the continuous improvement of people's living standards, the demand for agriculture has shifted from the supply of grain and vegetables to a green, healthy, and diversified lifestyle. Against this backdrop, a new agricultural model—planting potted plants in rivers—has emerged. It not only provides urban residents with a unique viewing experience but also plays a significant role in environmental protection, beautifying the environment, and enriching cultural life.
The Creative Agricultural Concept of Planting Potted Plants in RiversAs the name implies, planting potted plants in rivers refers to the cultivation of various potted plants in water bodies such as rivers and lakes. This creative agricultural model originates from China's traditional "aquatic landscape gardening" concept, combining potted plants with water bodies, which not only enriches the aquatic landscape but also provides urban residents with the opportunity to get close to nature. According to the "China Creative Agriculture Development Report," the market size of China's creative agriculture has been expanding in recent years, and planting potted plants in rivers, as a new agricultural model, has received extensive attention.
The Multiple Purposes of Planting Potted Plants in Rivers1. Beautifying the environment and enhancing the image of the city
Planting potted plants in rivers can effectively beautify the aquatic landscape, adding a touch of green to the city. The oxygen and negative oxygen ions released by the growth of potted plants help improve air quality and enhance the quality of life for urban residents. According to the "Urban Greening Evaluation Standards," for every 1% increase in urban green coverage, the happiness index of citizens will correspondingly increase.
2. Environmental protection role, reducing water pollution
Planting potted plants in rivers can absorb harmful substances in the water body and purify the water quality. The developed root systems of potted plants have strong adsorption capabilities, effectively removing heavy metal ions, nitrogen, phosphorus, and other pollutants from the water. According to the "Water Pollution Prevention and Control Law," water pollution is an important factor affecting China's ecological environment. Planting potted plants in rivers helps to improve the water environment and protect the ecological environment.
3. Enriching cultural life and enhancing the happiness of citizens
Planting potted plants in rivers provides a good place for citizens to relax and enjoy the beautiful scenery, savoring potted plants, and experiencing the charm of nature. It can also host various cultural activities, such as potted plant exhibitions and competitions, enriching the spiritual and cultural life of citizens. According to the "China Urban Residents' Happiness Survey Report," the demand for cultural life among citizens is increasing, and planting potted plants in rivers perfectly meets this need.
4. Promoting economic development and creating job opportunities
Planting potted plants in rivers, as a new agricultural model, provides farmers with a new source of income. The rise of related industries, such as potted plant cultivation, sales, and maintenance, has created a large number of job opportunities for urban residents. According to the "China Creative Agriculture Industry Chain Development Report," the output value of the creative agriculture industry chain has been increasing year by year, with planting potted plants in rivers playing an essential role.
As an emerging creative agricultural model, planting potted plants in rivers has significant advantages in terms of beautifying the environment, environmental protection, enriching cultural life, and promoting economic development. In future development, planting potted plants in rivers is expected to become a new highlight of China's creative agriculture, providing urban residents with more wonderful experiences.
