Nature in my City – Part 12 // @SkinnyGirl // 100% Power Up / #Club5050
The WATER JACINTO, also known as Aquatic Lily, Bora Flower, Water Buchón, Camalote, Aguapey, Lechuguín, Tarope, Tarulla or Reyna, is a aquatic plant. It has bulbs with air that allow it to float and produces purple flowers. It is native to the fresh waters of the warm regions of South America, in the Amazon basins, and of the Plata. It is distributed in rivers, lakes and ponds. Its abundance drastically changes the conditions of wetlands. It is used as a medicinal plant, soil fertilizer and decorative.
The plant obtains from water all the nutrients it requires for its metabolism, being nitrogen and phosphorus, together with potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron, ammonium, nitrite, sulfate, chlorine, phosphate and carbonate ions, the most important. It has a root system that can have microorganisms associated with them that favors the purifying action of the plant and is capable of retaining in its tissues a great variety of heavy metals (such as cadmium, mercury and arsenic specifically).
