What vegetables are suitable for growing in low-lying areas?

Nowadays, most rural areas grow vegetables, usually in loose, fertile and flat areas. However, some vegetables can be grown in low-lying areas. Generally, these vegetables like water and moisture and are resistant to waterlogging.

You can consider planting aquatic vegetables in low-lying areas, such as lotus root, water chestnut, wild rice stem, water caltrop, water chestnut, water yam, and water spinach. Generally, low-lying areas are prone to salinization and are also suitable for planting vegetables with a certain salt-alkali tolerance, such as broad beans, leeks, garlic, and mustard.

1. Water celery

Water celery can be planted in low-lying areas. Water celery is suitable for growing in a relatively humid environment. The environment of low-lying areas is more suitable for its growth. Water celery can be planted by rhizome propagation, which means that when planting, you need to choose thick seed stems, wait for the seed stems to take root and sprout, and then plant them in the soil.

2. Watercress

Watercress can also be planted in low-lying areas. Watercress is suitable for growing in a relatively fertile environment, so it can be provided with fertilizer once every half a month during the growth period. You can use decomposed farmyard manure or compound fertilizer containing nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium to allow the plant to grow better.

3. Taro

Water taro can also be planted in low-lying areas. When planting water taro, you need to pay attention to the planting density. It is best to control the plant spacing at about 30 cm and the row spacing at about 60 cm to avoid over-planting, which will cause poor growth of water taro.

4. Gorgon Fruit

Gorgon fruit can also be planted in low-lying areas. Gorgon fruit is suitable for growing in an environment with sufficient light. During the maintenance process, it can be exposed to more sunlight so that the plant can carry out photosynthesis normally and store enough nutrients. When the light is too strong, the Gorgon fruit needs to be shielded from direct sunlight.

5. Lotus root

Lotus root is an aquatic plant, suitable for planting in low-lying areas. It likes a humid environment and consumes a lot of water quickly during its growth period, but its root system has a weak ability to absorb water. It likes shallow water and high temperature. A certain depth of water must be maintained during maintenance.
