Bolotnitsa, or sinnyag, is most often found in damp areas - in wet meadows, in swamps and near water bodies. Sometimes it forms quite dense thickets. In nature, there are over one hundred and fifty species of this quite interesting plant. And the swamp grows in a huge number of regions of the world, although warm regions of distant South and North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia are usually considered its homeland.

Getting to know the plant

Bolotnitsa represents the Sedge family and can be both annual and perennial. This graceful plant is endowed with creeping horizontal rhizomes (sometimes even with onions or tubers at the ends) and a huge number of single filamentous stems from five centimeters to half a meter high. These cylindrical stalks are equipped with internal partitions and cavities, and at their tips you can see small cone inflorescences. The leaves of the swamp are either completely absent or reduced to barely noticeable scales.

Small elliptical spikelets of the swamp contain 3, 7 or 15 bisexual flowers. And almost rounded in cross section, vaguely triangular whitish nut fruits are endowed with transverse stripes and longitudinal ribs.

Among the most known species swamps, it should be noted the swamp swamp, hanging down (often cultivated as houseplant), needle-shaped, papillary, one-scaled, ovoid (by the way, this is the only annual among the swamps) and pearl.

Use of the swamp

A fairly large part of the varieties of this moisture-loving beauty is great for decorating streams and ponds in landscape design - the swamp gives them a natural look. In addition, it is able to create a magnificent backdrop for a huge number of other decorative marsh and aquatic plants.

The swamp is used both to strengthen the banks and as feed for cattle. And some of its species are considered weeds of rice crops.

A number of varieties of this plant can be used in aquariums - a striking example of this is the needle swamp, the thickets of which enrich the water with oxygen, purify it, and are also an excellent refuge for aquarium fish.

A beautiful swamp is also used as a bioindicator plant to determine the ecological state of various reservoirs. And she also proved herself well as an anchor holding bottom Riccia.

Sweet bog is widely cultivated in China for its edible corms, which also give it the name "Chinese water chestnut".

How to grow

Bolotnitsa is usually grown in shallow water or on damp soils. Silty slightly acidic clay soils will be most suitable. It is extremely important to ensure that the soil does not dry out. You should also be aware that this plant is incredibly photophilous.

The swamp is planted most often on swampy sunny shores directly into the ground, the thickness of which should not exceed three centimeters, since the root system of this green pet is not particularly well developed. Sometimes the swamp is also planted in containers that can be submerged under water to a depth of ten centimeters. A moisture-loving beauty growing in containers should be fed monthly with various complex fertilizers. And with the onset of winter, the containers in which the hanging swamp grows are transferred to winter in cool and rather bright rooms. It is noteworthy that relatively heat-loving varieties of this plant are usually grown in containers. And cold-resistant species grow well in shallow waters, as well as on well-moistened low banks.

A wonderful swamp reproduces throughout the growing season by dividing plants or seeds. The layers formed from the mother bushes are quite easily separated and immediately transplanted to new places.

Bolotnitsa, also Sitnyag(lat. Eleocharis) - a genus of moisture-loving annual and perennial herbaceous plants of the Sedge family ( Cyperaceae).

Distribution and habitat

Plants of this genus are found in damp places: near water bodies, in swamps and in wet meadows. Can form thickets.

Botanical description

Classification

For Russia, several common types are common:

  • Eleocharis acicularis- Needle swamp
  • Eleocharis dulcis- Sweet bog, or Chinese water chestnut
  • Eleocharis margaritacea- Pearl Swamp
  • Eleocharis mitracarpa- Cap bog
  • Eleocharis palustris- Swamp swamp
  • Eleocharis parvula- Small swamp

Economic importance and application

Some species are used in landscape design to design ponds and streams, to strengthen the banks and give them a natural look. Several species are weeds in rice crops.

Separate types, for example, needle bog, can be used in aquariums, where grass thickets form shelters for fish, purify the water and enrich it with oxygen.

For the sake of edible corms in China, sweet bog is cultivated ( Eleocharis dulcis), known as the "Chinese water chestnut".

An excerpt characterizing the Swamp (plant)

In 1811, a French doctor, who quickly became fashionable, lived in Moscow, huge in stature, handsome, amiable, like a Frenchman and, as everyone in Moscow said, a doctor of extraordinary art - Metivier. He was received in the homes of high society not as a doctor, but as an equal.
Prince Nikolai Andreevich, who laughed at medicine, recent times, on the advice of m lle Bourienne, he admitted this doctor to him and got used to him. Metivier visited the prince twice a week.
On Nikolin's day, on the prince's name day, all of Moscow was at the entrance to his house, but he ordered no one to be received; but only a few, a list of which he handed over to Princess Mary, he ordered to be called to dinner.
Metivier, who arrived in the morning with congratulations, as a doctor, found it decent de forcer la consigne [to break the ban], as he said to Princess Mary, and went in to the prince. It so happened that on this birthday morning the old prince was in one of his worst moods. He spent the whole morning walking around the house, finding fault with everyone and pretending that he did not understand what was said to him, and that they did not understand him. Princess Mary was firmly aware of this state of mind of quiet and preoccupied grouchiness, which was usually resolved by an outburst of rage, and as before a loaded, cocked gun, she walked all that morning, waiting for the inevitable shot. The morning before the doctor's arrival had gone well. Missing the doctor, Princess Marya sat down with a book in the living room by the door, from which she could hear everything that was going on in the study.
At first she heard one voice of Metivier, then the voice of her father, then both voices spoke together, the door flew open and appeared on the threshold, frightened, beautiful figure Metivier with his black crest, and the figure of a prince in a cap and robe with a face disfigured by rage and lowered pupils of the eyes.
- Do not understand? - shouted the prince, - but I understand! French spy, Bonaparte slave, spy, get out of my house - get out, I say - and he slammed the door.
Metivier, shrugging his shoulders, went up to Mademoiselle Bourienne, who had come running at a cry from the next room.
“The prince is not quite well,” la bile et le transport au cerveau. Tranquillisez vous, je repasserai demain, [bile and congestion to the brain. Calm down, I'll come tomorrow,] - said Metivier and, putting his finger to his lips, hurriedly left.
Footsteps in shoes were heard outside the door and shouts: “Spies, traitors, traitors everywhere! There is no moment of peace in your house!”

There are about 200 species of swamp, spread throughout the globe. They grow in shallow waters, shoals, banks of reservoirs and grassy swamps. Russian swamps, also known as sitnyags, are easily recognized by the rows of single rounded stems, up to 40-60 cm high, usually sitting on a horizontal rhizome, having a single apical multi-flowered spikelet; all the few leaves are scaly. In damp and swampy meadows, along coastal areas of reservoirs, damp and wet roadsides, it is often found marsh bog. The only one of the swamps is an annual - swamp ovoid, settled on damp dirt roads, shores of water bodies.
