The root system of the plants growing in extremely acid or alkalic environment have turned red. However, only those plants growing in the alkalic environment have their leaves shrunk, the size of the leaves of plants living in acidic environment remained the same.
The water hyacinth placed in a slightly acid environment (Distilled water, pH 5.8) had grown better than the water hyacinths in the control setup (Tap water, pH 7.0). It was observed that the plant in distilled water appeared to be healthier than the plants in the control setup as its leaves were whole while holes were observed on the leaves of the plants in the control setup.
