What are some lesser-known green plants
Below is an introduction to some lesser-known green plants and a list of 5 beautiful flowering plants that are not popular, compiled for netizens. Let's dive into the content related to green plants and flowers, and learn more together.
With the modern population's living standards increasing, people are no longer satisfied with common flower varieties like green ivy and hanging orchids in their homes. Many flower enthusiasts have started to look for more personalized and unique plant species. As cultivation techniques continue to advance and breeders work hard, more and more new flower varieties have been cultivated.
Today, the editor will introduce 5 ornamental green plants to you. These plants have only been cultivated and introduced to the domestic market in recent years, so they are relatively uncommon. However, they have very high aesthetic value, and their leaves are even more beautiful than flowering plants. Let's take a look!
Pink Beauty Syngonium
Pink Beauty is a less common variety among many Syngonium species, but those who have kept it say it's a good one. Its leaves are a fresh color of pink with green, especially loved by female flower enthusiasts. Moreover, it's quite affordable, almost the same price as common Syngonium, with a pot costing about ten to twenty yuan. This variety has good shade tolerance and only needs a bit of scattered light.
Care Tips
The color of Pink Beauty's leaves is directly related to the amount of scattered light it receives daily. The more scattered light it gets, the pinker the leaves become; the less light, the greener the leaves. We can adjust the color of the leaves by regulating the amount of scattered light. However, remember that it can only tolerate scattered light and should not be exposed to direct sunlight, as this can damage and burn the leaves, losing their ornamental value.
Autumn Elegance Begonia
Since the beginning of the previous year, begonias have become popular in the gardening community, and our public account has introduced many varieties. From the initially popular Trout Begonia to the Geometric Begonia, White Ice Begonia, and others, Autumn Elegance Begonia may not be particularly well-known compared to those, but it is highly praised in begonia enthusiast circles.
What are some lesser-known green plants
Autumn Elegance Begonia is a variety imported from Mexico, bred from the hybridization of the Bullfrog Leaf Begonia and the King Begonia. Its leaves resemble maple leaves and change color with the length of daylight, transitioning from green to orange to deep red, with each leaf having a different color, exuding a strong autumnal atmosphere.
Care Tips
Despite its name, "Autumn Begonia" does not have strong cold resistance. The optimal growth temperature is between 15 to 28 degrees Celsius, and the minimum temperature in winter should not be below 10 degrees, or the leaves can easily be frostbitten. It also doesn't have strong heat resistance and requires proper shading during the hot summer.
Alum Root
There are so many varieties of alum root, and new ones are constantly being introduced each year. It's impossible for the editor of the Green Plant Enthusiast website to cover them all, so they are grouped together as alum root. Alum roots are characterized by their diverse species and colors, earning them nicknames like "Natural Oil Painter" and "God's Color Palette." Almost everyone can find a variety with their favorite color. Moreover, alum roots are highly drought-resistant and suitable for winter planting, even in extremely cold regions like the Northeast, where they can be planted outdoors without fear of freezing to death.
