The KangKong

Kangkong is a plant which is grown currently in China and other  countries like Myanmar and I am writing this topic on this plant because I am currently growing it for a school project. Let’s start by writing about the main habitats of it and the use of the plant. But first I wanted to tell you that the  real name of the kangkong is actually a Ipomoea aquatica.

The main habitat of the kangkong  it is found throughout the tropical and subtropical regions of the world. The use of it is so that we can eat it as it is a vegetable. In English the names are kangkong, water spinach, river spinach Chinese spinach or river cabbage.

Ipomoea aquatica grows in water or on moist soil. Its stems are 2–3 metres (7–10 ft) or more long, rooting at the nodes, and they are hollow and can float. The leaves vary from typically arrow head-shaped, 5–15 cm (2–6 in) long and 2–8 cm (0.8–3 in) broad. The flowers are trumpet-shaped, 3–5 cm, and usually white in colour with a mauve centre. it is either by planting cuttings of the stem shoots that will root along nodes or planting the seeds from flowers that produce seed pods
