Foliar plant is divided into two types: large and small. Large leaf plant is more atmospheric at home. Of course, it also has many disadvantages. The larger the plant, the more difficult it is to maintain. Moreover, large plants raised at home are extremely prone to yellow leaves. Once the leaves turn yellow, there is no other way to save them, so they can only leave them to fate.
In the lives of young people today, large leaf-viewing plants are more popular, and small professional plants are more suitable for middle-aged and elderly people. The size of plants is different, and the styles represented are also very different.
Flower market, the most common large-scale leafy plants are just a few, Monstera , Blood Guanyin, Chunyu, Strelitzia . Among these leafy plants, the most popular one is Monstera, which is cheap and has high ornamentality, and is very suitable for home maintenance. In addition to Monstera, there are spring feathers, and spring feathers are actually divided into two types. The ordinary state is spring feathers, and the older one is called Dragon Scale .
Dragon scales and spring feathers are actually the same plant. They are expressed in different states. Most of the time we see in the flower market are spring feathers, with a height of about 40 or 50 cm, and the leaves are very wide and the ornamentality is also very high.
After a long period of growth, the branches of the main trunk will gradually become timbered. During the growth period, the old leaves will gradually fall off. While the leaves fall off, scars will leave scars on the main trunk. The shape of the scars is like fish scales, so everyone calls it dragon scales. The longer the spring feather is breeding, the higher the main trunk grows, and the more obvious the scars left on the outer layer of the main trunk.
In different states, the price of spring feathers is also different. Normal spring feathers can be bought for twenty or thirty yuan on the market, and the price is very cheap. After years of growth, if the height can reach more than one meter, the price of sale will basically reach hundreds of yuan. It basically takes 6 to 7 years for a spring feather to become a dragon scale, which takes quite a long time.
In different environments, the growth rate of spring feathers is also very different. The higher the temperature, the greater the humidity, the faster the growth rate of spring feathers, and it can become dragon scales in a shorter time. Therefore, in the southern part of my country, many greenhouses, will cultivate a large number of dragon scales, so that they can be sold at a higher price on the market.
The same plant variety, of course, the longer the time, the better the growth state, and the more ornamental it is. At least most young people choose dragon scales, thick trunks, full texture, and wide leaves are very ornamental. The longer the age, the higher the price it sells. When we maintain our family, if economic conditions allow, we can choose a height of 1.5 meters and place it on the living room balcony. This height is also very suitable.
