Octopus Plant
The Octopus Plant, also known as the Eight Treasures Plate, Eight Hands, or Hand Tree, is an evergreen shrub or small tree of the Aralia family and the Octopus Plant genus. "Octopus" refers to the fact that each of its leaves has about eight lobes, resembling the palm of a hand with eight fingers; "Golden Plate" refers to its ability to produce a yellow flower plate. The name "Octopus Plant" is very vivid, and it is believed by the people that this flower brings wealth from all directions, symbolizing strength and resilience.
Care Tips
The Octopus Plant prefers a warm and humid semi-shaded environment, avoiding direct sunlight. The most suitable growth temperature is between 10 to 25 degrees and it does not tolerate severe cold. When planting, choose fertile and loose sandy soil. From April to October every year is the period of vigorous growth, requiring the application of organic fertilizer once a month or the use of a nutrient solution once every 15 to 20 days.
Spring Feather
Spring Feather, also known as Spring Rain, is a very popular "internet celebrity green plant" on social media recently. Its leaves are very distinctive, shaped like large feathers of birds, with a particularly vibrant green color and a glossy finish, giving a sense of lightness and agility. When the Spring Feather grows to about 1 meter, the leaves at the base of the main stem will continuously fall off, forming a beautiful "scale-like" pattern. A mature Spring Feather with a scaled old stem has higher ornamental value.
Care Tips
Spring Rain prefers a semi-shaded environment and does not tolerate strong sunlight. The leaves of Spring Rain remain green all year round and do not age easily, but they can accumulate dust over time. In the process of daily care, it is necessary to frequently wipe the surface of the leaves with a damp cloth to keep them clean.
One-leaf Orchid
One-leaf Orchid, also known as Large-leaf Perennial Green or Bamboo Leaf Plate, is a perennial herbaceous plant of the Night-flowering Cereus genus. This plant has a unique way of growing leaves; only one large leaf grows on a single branch, and the leaf shape resembles that of an orchid, hence the name "One-leaf Orchid).
Care Tips
The One-leaf Orchid has strong vitality and is basically free from diseases and pests, with simple daily maintenance. It is a shade-loving plant and cannot tolerate strong sunlight, needing to be placed in a position with scattered light and good ventilation. It is a typical southern plant with poor cold resistance, so it should be moved to a warm room after the autumn and winter temperatures drop. The minimum temperature should not be lower than 5 degrees, otherwise, it is easily frozen to death.
