The Phoenix Bird is a unique genus in the Aizoaceae family, Mitrophyllum (Phoenix Bird菊属), with only 6 species. It shares the same name as the Sedum (Sedum) in the Crassulaceae family, although called Phoenix Bird, it looks unlikely to die, but it is relatively easy to be infected by bacteria and die during growth. The Phoenix Bird is a perennial herb, very succulent, solitary or clustering. Opposite leaves join together in the middle to form a succulent sheath, resembling a pair of pliers. The leaf epidermis is thin, with many translucent tiny dots. Leaf height is 4-6 cm, young plants are solitary, while old plants tend to cluster. Leaf color ranges from green to light gray-green. Flowers bloom from the seam between two leaves. Plants in the Mitrophyllum genus are not easy to bloom, requiring cross-pollination. The Phoenix Bird is not prone to clustering. It may take several years for the plant to split into 2-3 heads. The plant goes dormant in summer and grows in other seasons. The peeling period is similar to that of肉锥花, but the peeling period is longer. During the peeling period, expose to more sunlight and less water. By the end of April to June, the peeling is usually complete. If watered during this period, the peeling period will extend into summer. The peeling of the Phoenix Bird is the outer old skin drying slowly, providing nutrients to the new plant, while the new plant's leaves grow simultaneously.
