online or in the market, and for just a few dollars. It is a very common foliage plant. It is easy to maintain because of its fleshy leaves. It is a drought-tolerant plant.
Many people choose them if they want to make their home smell fresher. The first is that it looks good, the second is that it is easy to maintain, and more importantly, it is not expensive and has an obvious effect in purifying the air in your home. By raising a few pots in different areas of your home, you can clearly feel the improvement in air quality. Pengpengxiang is given such an apt name because the leaves emit fragrance when touched.
But everyone who touches it knows that after touching its leaves, there will be a fragrance. But there will be a layer of slime on your hands. This is the plant's own defense mechanism. So no surprise.
Some people use it for cooking, and some people use it for drinks. It is recommended not to do this easily.
The largest ones I have seen can grow as big as a bush. Generally, the domestic ones are 20 to 30 meters tall. Since there are no restrictions on roots in the wild, as long as the soil is suitable for growth and the light is sufficient, the branches of Pangpengxiang will become lignified and look like a shrub.
For indoor maintenance, it is best to maintain the temperature in a constant range, roughly above 18 degrees, so that Pengpengxiang can grow normally. But in winter, for example, too low temperatures will cause poor growth.
One detail to mention here is that when watering Pengpengxiang, do not let water get on the leaves, which is detrimental to the growth of the leaves. If this happens for a long time, the leaves that grow out will not look good. Generally speaking, try to keep the Pengpengxiang as tall as possible and avoid growing on the ground. This requires us to prune the Pangpengxiang in a timely manner and prune it regularly to maintain a good posture.
When pruning, cut off the top twigs. These twigs can be cut. Then remove the lower leaves to allow them to lignify as quickly as possible. The next step is to maintain it and maintain sufficient light so that it can grow vigorously.
Pangpengxiang does not require much water, so do not water frequently. It is a drought-tolerant plant, and its fleshy leaves can store a lot of water. Use organic fertilizer when fertilizing so that the plant's fragrance will be stronger. Also during maintenance, the leaves at the bottom will dry up and fall off, which is normal.
