Plants grow on rocky slopes and in fields at elevations of 1,500–2,500 m (4,900–8,200 ft). [ 5 ] [ 7 ] It is a typical 'drumstick allium', with a more-or-less spherical umbel on a tall stipe , and as such has often been confused with other similar species.
Coral reef farming involves extracting a part of a coral colony or free-floating larvae from a reef, and growing them in a nursery until outplanting [5] would be successful. It is commonly referred to as the "gardening method" and has been compared to silviculture as a management practice that mimics natural ecosystems.
The water is released over the plant's roots and then runs back into the reservoir below in a constantly recirculating system. As with deep water culture, there is an airstone in the reservoir that pumps air into the water via a hose from outside the reservoir. The airstone helps add oxygen to the water.
There are many species of emergent plants, among them, the reed , Cyperus papyrus, Typha species, flowering rush and wild rice species. Some species, such as purple loosestrife, may grow in water as emergent plants but they are capable of flourishing in fens or simply in damp ground. [22]
