What is the other shore flower
In East Asian culture, the other shore flower is always accompanied by mysterious legends. This plant with blood-colored petals is often called the "flower of hell." When we lift aside the myth, we will find that it is actually a very ornamental plant. This article will take you to understand the biological characteristics of this special flower and reveal the secrets of its growth in different ecological environments. The botany characteristics of the flower. The unique morphological structure Lycoris radiata has strip-shaped leaves 30 centimeters long, and the unique silver-white stripe in the center of the leaf surface is an important identifying feature. Every late summer and early autumn, 5-7 scarlet flowers bloom at the top of the stem, with petals curling in a silk band to form an umbel with a diameter of about 10 centimeters. Special growth cycle This perennial bulbous plant follows the growth rule of "flowers and leaves never meet each other." It germinates leaves in spring and withers in summer and draws out the flower stems to bloom. This characteristic makes it known as "Manjusahua" in Japan. It is regarded as a flower of heaven in Buddhist classics. Natural distribution and growth environment Native habitat characteristics From the Yangtze River Basin to the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, bianhua is common in sparse forest areas at an altitude of 500- 1,500 meters. Its bulbs can adapt to a variety of soil conditions, grow best in humus soil with pH values of 5.5-7.0, and prefer humid but well-drained semi-shade environments. In the practice of artificial cultivation and adaptive gardening, it was found that the other shore flowers performed well in the shade of the courtyard. Cultivation records from the Beijing Botanical Garden show that adult plants can tolerate low temperatures of-10℃, but cold prevention measures need to be taken in continuous snowy environments. Household maintenance precautions: Light and moisture management It is recommended to use pottery pots with peat and perlite substrate (ratio 3:1) when potted plants. Keep the soil moist in spring and autumn, and control water during summer dormant periods. Scattered light for 3-4 hours a day can meet growth needs. Toxicity precautions The entire strain contains alkaloids such as lycorine, which can cause vomiting and diarrhea if eaten by mistake. Families with children are advised to choose hanging cultivation and wash hands promptly after touching the plants. People with allergies should pay attention to pollen protection.
From medicinal value to landscaping, the other shore flower is gradually emerging from the fog of legend. This plant, which has both ornamental and scientific research value, can fully bloom in modern courtyards on the premise of following scientific conservation. After understanding its growth laws, we can not only appreciate its beauty, but also avoid potential risks and achieve harmonious coexistence between man and nature.
