1. Morphological characteristics of Newton

Newton needle is an annual submerged plant with well-developed root system. Leaves striped-lanceolate or linear-lanceolate, pale green about 3 cm to 5 cm long, opposite to slender stems, with only one midrib extending from the base to the apex of the leaf, and the top of the leaf is acute or acuminate , the light source close to the water surface will appear red. Water flowers appear on the brown nodules of the leaf veins. A group of intact long shoots is planted in the subsoil to form a dense bush when lateral shoots develop. Inflorescence spike-like, spikelets with 4 or more florets, and longitudinal stripes on the fruit surface.

2. Newton's habit

Newton is distributed in tropical and subtropical regions and is very sensitive to light. It needs strong light during the growth period. Light plants are green, and the growing water temperature is generally between 22°C and 25°C. It has high water quality requirements and is suitable for water quality with a pH value of 6.8-7.2. The growth environment prefers soft water, and is also suitable for neutral or acidic soft water and hard water. The growth of the environment is hindered, and the growth period prefers strong light irradiation. An appropriate amount of potassium fertilizer also helps to develop color, and anthocyanins appear red in a weakly acidic environment. It is the middle background grass in the grass tank.

3. Planting of Newton

Newton is a very characteristic aquatic plant. It is difficult to plant. Carbon dioxide needs to be added when planting. In the case of good growth, carbon dioxide is generally 20CM- Between 30CM. Newton's grass has small leaves and short stems, and the difficulty of planting depends on light and water quality. The plant is very sensitive to changes in light and PH value. If the light source is sufficient, it is best to use a warm color, and at the same time strengthen the light. Newton is not like the red and green of the palace. The top will turn red because it is close to the light. Gaze.
