Flower lovers who have lived in rural areas often see some strange wild plants , such as yellow artemisia , cockscomb , purple flower ding , halter tree lotus, Clossium , plantain , beef tendon grass and other plants are quite unique. They grow vigorously in the fields, rivers, grasslands, hillsides, and farmlands all year round. I remember there is also a type of mimosa . This plant is quite interesting. We touch the leaves of the plant with our hands, and these leaves will close. Because the plants have this characteristic, they are often planted in flower pots as pots.
Are there any wild plants that can bloom in the countryside? In fact, there are also some. For example, the following plant is called " light bamboo leaf ". The plant can bloom some blue flowers every year. Many elderly people have seen this plant, but because it has a large number and grows in the farmland, they will spray herbicide directly. They don’t know that this plant has high value and is also a precious plant. Next time they encounter it, you can dig it home as a potted plant, so don’t remove it easily.
The scientific name of pale bamboo leaves is Daozhucao . In "Shiyi", it is also called "Chicken Tongcao". is an annual loose herb. When I was a child, I thought it was a butterfly because its flowers are so similar to butterflies. The blue flowers look very special. I think they are similar to those of purple flower ding, and they have ornamental value. If flower lovers like light bamboo leaves, they might as well plant a few pots at home.
Morphological characteristics of pale bamboo leaves
It has lanceolate leaves, and the stems of the plant are also quite special. It is a kind of stolon . Many flower lovers do not understand what stolon is. In fact, it refers to a stem growing along the horizon. Its flowers are polyintegrals, which have the characteristics of hermaphrodisiac . Generally, there are two petals on the petals that are blue, and the petal at the bottom is white. The capsules of
plants are oval, these capsules are very small, with a length of between 5-7 mm, and drift with the wind when they mature. In addition, the light bamboo leaves also have some branches, and the leaves are not small, 3-9 cm, so they will also look good when planted in a flower pot.
In different regions, light bamboo leaves have different nicknames, such as Blue Bamboo , green butterfly, etc., are all nicknames for light bamboo leaves. So where will it grow? In fact, it is not necessarily true. Sometimes it grows under the wet bamboo forest, and sometimes it grows on the cool rural farmlands to adapt to the environment. However, it is generally distributed in humid locations. I remember that when I was a child, I often saw it by the pond. When it did not bloom, its ornamental value was not high, as if it was a weed, and it would become very special after it blooms.
What is the value of light bamboo leaves?
As early as "Pinhui Jingyao", it recorded light bamboo leaves, which described: "removing heat and toxins, eliminating carbuncles." We can also find records about light bamboo leaves in "The Summary" and "Bencao Shiyi". It can be seen that light bamboo leaves have relatively high economic value, just like medicinal plants such as Rehmannia , Astragalus , Sweet Ding , Tianma , Single-legged gold , Seven-leaf Lotus , etc., and are also precious after making "medicine". So flower lovers should not ignore it next time they see it.
About maintenance
Some flower lovers want to plant a few pots of light bamboo leaves to watch at home. This is no problem. During the maintenance process, you can change the pot every one year. It is better to change the pot soil every spring every year. When the light bamboo leaves are still in the seedling stage, you need to maintain them astigmatism and not be exposed to too strong sunlight.
Normal maintenance Keep the room temperature at around 10℃ to safely overwinter. Spraying water on the leaves increases humidity, which can make its leaves brighter.
That’s all about light bamboo leaves, that is, samadhi grass. Dear friends, have you seen this plant?
