Common aquatic plants for artificial floating islands Floating plants suitable for artificial floating islands

Since plants are highly regional, we should pay more attention to the selection of local aquatic plants or amphibians. In the north, we can choose reeds and southern celosia; in the south, we can plant calamus, water celery, umbrella, etc.

Artificial floating islands should use perennial herbaceous plants as much as possible to reduce maintenance costs, but the types of foreign plants should be properly controlled. For example, water hyacinth has a significant impact on water purification and plant landscape, so it should be reasonably controlled and handled in a timely manner.

Common aquatic plants on artificial floating islands

1. 13 emergency plants with strong nitrogen and phosphorus removal capabilities

Canna, Zetai, Cattail, Umbrella, Ginger Flower, Red Alternanthera, Cyperus, Arrow, Wild Taro, Purple Taro, Senecio, Alisma, Acorus, Sophora japonica and Duckweed leaves have a strong effect on removing ammonia nitrogen.

2. In water bodies polluted by high concentrations of NO3

Centaurea, Cattail, Alternanthera philoxeroides and Umbrella are suitable as ecological floating island plants. In water bodies with low concentration of NO3 nutrient salts, Alisma orientalis and Alisma orientalis are suitable as ecological floating island plants.

In water bodies polluted with high concentrations of NO3, taro, cyperus rotundus, kudzu root and purple taro can be widely used in artificial floating island water bodies within the NO3 concentration range.

3. In high concentration H2P04 water

Red lotus seeds, arrowhead, sedge and purple taro are suitable for the growth of ecological floating island plants. In low concentration H2P04 water, Zetai, wild taro, canna and cattail are suitable for the growth of ecological floating island plants. Senecio and cattail are suitable for the growth of ecological floating island plants and can be used in water with a wide concentration range.

4. In water bodies with high NH4+ nutrient levels

Red lotus seeds, purple taro, umbrella, and fine-leaved sedge are suitable for the growth of ecological floating island plants. In water bodies with low NH4+ nutrient levels, cattails and wild taro are suitable for the growth of ecological floating island plants.

In wide water bodies, the NH4+ nutrient range is relatively wide, and Chinese cabbage, cattail, zetai, oriental water plantain, and ginger flower have strong adaptability to water bodies.
