In other words, the biggest difference between plants and humans is that humans like to live in roofed houses rather than wind and rain. In order to have a shelter from the wind and rain, humans can struggle all their lives, not to mention the joys and sorrows

On the contrary, plants like to be exposed to the wind, rain and sun. Even if they are ashen, they are willing to feel uncomfortable indoors

Therefore, there are not many plants that can adapt indoors for a long time. In addition to common varieties such as Chlorophytum and green pineapple, there is also a beautiful foliage plant called cold water flower

Cold water flower, a plant of Urticaceae, also known as transparent grass, transparent white grass, aluminum leaf grass, white snow grass... It is common in the south of the Yangtze River

Lengshuihua is a foliage plant with small and elegant plants, clear green and white leaves and beautiful and unique patterns

It also blooms in June and July, but the flower shape is not beautiful and can be basically ignored

The biggest advantage of cold water flower is shade resistance. It is suitable for long-term indoor storage and has strong vitality

As a black finger, I can rarely cut live things, and even the survival rate of rose is not high. But cold water flower, I put in a job

The branches of lengshuihua are very soft. If they grow to a certain height, they will crawl without pruning. In order to make the flowerpot compact and refreshing, pruning is a necessary homework for raising cold water flowers

When the cold water flower grows to about a foot high and the branches begin to tilt, it can be trimmed

If the cut branches are in spring, summer and autumn, they can be used for cutting

As shown in the figure, the cut branches are relatively long and have eight nodes. So. One can be cut into two and cut into two sections. Each section can be used for cutting

There are many blades in the upper part cut off. You can cut the lower blades and bury the lower two nodes in the soil

Why bury the nodes in the soil? Because the node is easy to sprout and take root, cutting is easy to live

In order to test the effect and because there are many branches cut, I found three pots for cutting. The media of the three pots are different. One pot is general fine sand, one pot is nutrient soil, and the other pot is not too loose garden soil

Then, put it on the cool beiyangtai

In the first week, because of the scars on the whole body, the cutting branches and leaves shrugged and listless

Half a month later, the remaining leaves straightened up, and buds began to appear at the nodes of the branches

The test results show that no matter what kind of soil is used for cutting, the cold water flower with good temper can survive. Moreover, no matter what kind of soil, the growth rate is the same without discrimination

In addition. The seedlings I cutted at more than ten degrees and more than 30 degrees can survive, only on one condition, they should be placed in a cool place

Lengshuihua likes a warm and humid environment, likes the sun, but is afraid of strong light. It is a better balcony arrangement plant, which can be arranged on the tea table and flower rack with scattered light for a long time

My experience is that if you put it indoors for a week, then put it in a cool and ventilated place for two days, and then bring it back indoors, you can do this cycle

Lengshuihua doesn't have high requirements for fertilizer. Just feed a little compound fertilizer every month. It doesn't matter if you don't feed it. It's good to speak very well

Cold water flower has few diseases and insect pests. As long as the maintenance environment is not suitable, there will be basically no rotten roots and yellow leaves, and there are only beetles, so it is very convenient to maintain
