Is the longevity flower a herbaceous or woody plant?
For many girls, the knowledge of keeping flowers, whether the longevity flower is herbaceous or woody, let's learn about it together.
Some flower friends asked me whether the longevity flower is herbaceous or woody. Actually, this question can lead to three sub-questions: one is whether the longevity flower is herbaceous or woody, the second is whether it is a succulent plant, and the third is why the root and stem of the longevity flower are woody.
Let's first talk about the first question, is the longevity flower herbaceous or woody?
Answer: The longevity flower is a perennial succulent herbaceous plant of the Crassulaceae family. Seeing this, flower friends know that the longevity flower is a herbaceous plant, so why add a succulent? This leads to the second question.
The second question, is the longevity flower a succulent plant?
Answer: The longevity flower is a succulent plant, but it is different from other succulent plants of the Crassulaceae family, so flower friends may have doubts.
The third question, why does the longevity flower have a woody stem?
Many herbaceous plants have the phenomenon of woody, and the longevity flower is no exception. We often see that in mature plants, such as peppers, the root and stem parts are woody. Woody does not affect its normal growth, but it is a type of cell structure formed in the process of evolution that is more capable of overwintering. The bare stick in the picture below is the stem of the single-petal longevity flower (double-petal is hard to grow like this), and the small seedlings next to it are not yet woody.
In conclusion, the reason why flower friends have doubts about whether the longevity flower is herbaceous or woody is mostly because of the woody phenomenon in the root and stem of the longevity flower, which causes confusion. Here is also a little knowledge to tell flower friends, the woody of the longevity flower is not a good phenomenon, especially for double-petal longevity flowers. After woody, the plant gradually degenerates and should be cut to propagate new plants as soon as possible. Of course, for single-petal longevity flowers, woody can make the plant stronger.
