Moisture-loving plants can be planted in a garden with moist soil, near a reservoir, as well as decorate and moisten the premises of apartments.
Plants for the garden
Water-loving plants for a personal plot include those that are not uniquely aquatic, i.e. growing in water, but they play the role of transitional - from water to land garden plots. Moisture-loving plants for the garden are planted mainly in areas equipped with natural ponds with rich moistened soil, but not waterlogged. Some species of such garden residents can live on moderately dry soil, but they feel uncomfortable on it and may die.
The most popular types of hygrophilous plants can be attributed to those that create comfort and well take root in the country and in the garden with a pond.
Uzambar violet
Belongs to the Gesneriaceae family. This is a herbaceous perennial flower, has a shortened juicy stem with a beautiful rosette of rounded leaves with a wavy edge, painted in dark green, and from below - in reddish. The flowers are decorated in inflorescences. They are monochromatic - white, pink, red or patterned multicolor.
Primrose
Perennial herbaceous plants with a rosette of rooted toothed leaves. The flowers are beautiful, brightly colored, collected in inflorescences. Bloom in early spring. In landscape design, these moisture-loving plants are indispensable and attractive.
Balsam
These are plants with juicy, fleshy stems. Green leaves with various shades. Flowers of irregular shape, red, yellow or white, sometimes two-tone, can be simple or double, single or collected in loose inflorescences.
Bell
The shape of the flower determined the name of this plant. Its sizes and shapes are very diverse. The flowers are so bright and elegant that a garden with moist soil is rarely without this plant. The bell looks original and romantic in mixed plantings and in the center of a flower bed, in border plantations, under trees and on rocky slides. It blooms all summer - from June to September.
Moisture-loving indoor plants
These include most of the indoor flowers. Moisture-loving plants for apartments are fast-growing, their leaves are often large and quickly evaporate moisture. These are indoor flowers that in natural conditions in nature live in moist places: on swamps, on the banks of rivers and lakes. However, hygrophilous indoor plants do not need intensive watering all year round. This should be done only in the spring, in a period accompanied by active growth, and in the rest of the year, watering should be reduced. Moisture-loving plants for an apartment are ivy, monstera, passionflower, citrus fruits, palm trees, bromeliads, columna, cyperus, tradescantia, azalea and others.
In winter, these plants in rooms with central heating most often suffer from dryness. In pots, the earth dries quickly, which negatively affects the flowers. However, frequent watering causes acidification of the earth and rotting of the roots. To do this, place the pot in a large container and fill it with wet peat, the moisture of which must be controlled.
Water-loving trees and shrubs
It is good to remove excess soil moisture by planting, for example, birch on the plot. Moisture-loving trees and bushes are able to masterfully drain the soil around them. An adult birch drains it by almost 10 meters.
Moisture-loving trees include willow, irga, elderberry, and shrubs - viburnum, cranberries, silver currants and others. On a small plot of land, you can plant fruiting bushes that will give you a harvest at the end of the season.
Too wet and marshy soil is not suitable for cultivation. In such areas, even moisture-loving plants do not grow or bear fruit.
