Question

What is the support system for Kangkung (water spinach)?

Answer 1

Pak Quat, also known as “white stem” water spinach, has arrow-shaped leaves and pink flowers and is grown in aquatic conditions, similar to rice. Almost all parts of the young plant tissue are edible, but the tender shoot tips and younger leaves are preferred.

Answer 2

Ipomoea aquatica is a semi-aquatic, tropical plant grown as a vegetable for its tender shoots. This plant is known in English as water spinach, river spinach, water morning glory, water convolvulus, or by the more ambiguous names Chinese spinach, Chinese watercress, Chinese convolvulus or swamp cabbage, or kangkong in Southeast Asia and ong choy in Cantonese.[2][3] Its place of origin is not known.
