Many plants will grow by the ditch. Flower lovers should not underestimate the wild plant at the ditch. They also have ornamental value. Remember that the plant calamus is very good. Some flower lovers will even dig it home and then plant it in a fish tank. For example, in a stream tank, it is very suitable for planting calamus. It is a perennial herb and likes a moist environment. Therefore, a large area is usually reproduced by the ditch, which has some ornamental value.
There is also a plant that has ornamental value. The ancestors called it " Centella asia ". I think this name is very nice. Centella asia thrives at a wet ditch. Its height is similar to that of Copper Cotton Grass. It is relatively low. Sometimes it grows close to the ground. When it is more vigorous, there are many green leaves, which looks very beautiful at this time.
Some flower lovers dug 20 cholesterols from the edge of the ditch. Because of their small size, these 20 cholesterols can be planted in the same flower pot. After a period of maintenance and management, this pot of cholesterol is particularly prosperous and has reproduced a second pot. Like rose , succulent plants , cactus, Clivia , spider plants and other flowers, it is a relatively easy-to-raise plant. It will be valuable after raising it for a long time.
At the same time, Centella as medicinal plants such as Rehmannia , Sweet Ding , Single-legged Golden , Golden Thread Lotus , Seven-leaf Lotus , etc. are valuable. In this issue, let’s learn about this wild Centella asia.
Let’s first look at some of the morphological characteristics of Centella ashesia. It has small leaves, and these leaves are like horse footprints. Therefore, many flower lovers do not call it Centella ashesia, but call it “ Horseshoe Grass ”. Of course, this is just an alias for Centella ashesia. We are generally more accustomed to calling it scientific name, that is, “Centella ashesia”. We carefully observed the leaves of Centella asiatica. Its blade edges have blunt serrated teeth, and the base of the blade is broad-hearted, and there is no velvet in the petiole.
Wait until April of each year, Centella asiatica will bloom small flowers, but its ornamental value is not high, and the leaves will look better. After all, they are emerald green all year round, as beautiful as green ivy, Monstera , and Copper Cotton Grass. The flowering and fruiting periods of Centella asia are generally between April and October, which is quite long.
Growth environment Through the above understanding, we know that Centella asiatica has ornamental value. Where are the wild Centella asiatica distributed? It is usually found under hillsides, on ditches, on river banks, farmlands, and under valleys. It has a wide distribution range. Sometimes a large area of breeding in deep mountains and old forests, but now it is becoming less and less common.
The value of Centella asiatica: Today's Centella asiatica can not only be used as a potted plant, it is also a weed with medicinal value. In "Jiangxi Folk Herbs", it is called wild shepherd's purse, horse footprints, money grass , half-border moon , and is also a lot of other names. We can also find records about Centella asiatica in "Mindong Materia Medica", which says: "Entering the five meridians of the heart, lungs, spleen, stomach, and large intestine." It can be seen from this that like most wild herbs, it is no problem to make "Chinese medicinal materials".
It is also good if you dig 20 centella as a potted plant. It has the characteristics of long ornamental period, fast growth, long green leaves, and convenient management after planting. It is a comprehensive and excellent lawn plant.
Maintenance and management: It usually grows in a humid position and has a large amount of transpiration in summer. Spray more water on the leaves of the asiatica to maintain good air humidity and water it every 1 day. In spring and summer, water it once a day early in the morning, but there is no water accumulation in the flower pot.
This is all about a plant called "Centalaceae" by our ancestors. Dear friends, have you ever seen Centella asiatica in your hometown?
