What is the meaning of the flowers of "Jin Zhi Yu Ye"?
This article provides a detailed explanation of the meaning of the flowers of "Jin Zhi Yu Ye" as well as related content about the plant's symbolism and greenery aspects, specifically as follows:
Although "Jin Zhi Yu Ye" and "Xiu Cai Shu" are both succulent shrubs, they belong to different families and genera. "Jin Zhi Yu Ye" is native to South Africa, also known as "Sun Lung Tree," "Portulaca Tree," and "Gingko Wood," and is a succulent variety of the Portulacaceae Portulaca genus. "Xiu Cai Shu" is also native to South Africa, also known as "Cylindrical Flower Moon," "Jade Tree Scroll," "Horse Hoof Angle," and "Horse Hoof Red," and is a succulent plant of the Crassulaceae Sedum genus.
The leaves of "Xiu Cai Shu" resemble horse hooves in shape.
"Jin Zhi Yu Ye" symbolizes a house full of gold and jade, while "Xiu Cai Shu" is said to be able to "absorb wealth." Putting these aside, both are very sturdy and easy to care for, and with some basic maintenance experience, they can be easily kept alive. However, the biggest issue with "Jin Zhi Yu Ye" now is the prevalence of "medicine brocade." What is "medicine brocade"? It refers to some merchants spraying a chemical agent (such as peroxyacetic acid) on the normal leaves of "Jin Zhi Yu Ye" to cause chlorophyll degeneration, creating a brocade-like appearance. After buying them, they either shed a lot of leaves or cannot be kept alive, so we must be extra careful when purchasing.

In fact, "medicine brocade" in "Jin Zhi Yu Ye" is easy to distinguish. By closely examining the two images above: the top leaves with especially bright colors are "medicine brocade," while the ones below have relatively lighter colors and white or light yellow brocade spots on both sides of the leaves, which are the real "Jin Zhi Yu Ye brocade" — "Yalezhiwu." Of course, under sufficient light conditions, the brocade spots on the sides of "Yalezhiwu" leaves will also change color, but the brightness is far less than that of "medicine brocade," usually just turning into a light pink or light purple.
