Introduction of Phoenix Fern
The genus Pteridaceae is a perennial genus of ferns. The rhizome is very short, and the leaves grow in a circular arc shape. Most of them are hidden under the shade of trees. The oval leaves are vegetative leaves, and the leaves are long and narrow, along the edge of the leaves. A whole row of sporangia is the breeding leaves. Fern is a large family of ancient plants. Pteris ferns are the most common native ferns in Taiwan, in the mountains, plains, courtyards, and gardens.
It can be seen in its traces, including the arrow-winged fern, the phoenix, the fern, the fern, the fern, the fern, the fern, the fern, the fern, the phoenix Fern, Amakusa phoenix, and other twenty species.
There are many aliases for phoenix, which are mainly named after their leaf shape and ecological environment. The whole cluster is green and the leaves are invincible. It is very graceful and has a beautiful bonsai. The ground plant should be selected from the shaded and wet place for greening. Leaves can be arranged with flowers. The potted plants can be decorated with desks, coffee tables, window sills, and balconies. They are also suitable for hanging or hanging in living rooms, study rooms, and bedrooms. The whole grass can be used for medicinal purposes. It has the effects of clearing away heat and dampness, cooling blood and detoxifying, stopping diarrhea, and strengthening the gluten. The folk is mostly used for treating dysentery/and diarrhea.
Morphological characteristics of phoenix fern
It is a terrestrial short-lived fern. Its height is generally about 35-45 centimeters. The root of the phoenix fern is very thick, but its stem is short. It grows upright and has a dark brown strip. Needle-shaped scales.
Leaf type II, clustered, papery, glabrous; petiole and stalk color, smooth; fertile leaves ovoid, 25-30 cm long, 15-20 cm wide, feathery, but usually lower than Bifurcation, sometimes a pair of bases and 1-2 pieces of small feathers are 1-1.5 cm wide, with sharp edges and serrations. The sporangia group is continuously distributed along the leaf margin below the top of the feather leaf, like a braised egg, the spore is brown, and the capsule is narrow.
The phoenix fern is a small terrestrial fern of the genus Pteridaceae, with leaf type II; the sterile leaf is a pinnate compound leaf with a strip of feathers, the base of the upper part of the feather is extended, and narrow wings are formed on both sides of the central axis. The feathers are sessile, not split, apex acuminate, long linear, entire, the top of the feathers is the longest, the lower feathers often have two to three forks, the plume splitter has several small feathers, long lines, small feathers in The leaf axis is also extended into wings, and the veins are apparent. The fine veins are divided by the mid-vein plumes, single or bifurcated branches, reaching the edge, resembling a phoenix tail, hence the name; the non-sporocyst vegetative leaves are smaller. 2 small feathers are broad, linear or oval, with serrated edges, and sporangia group linear, along the lower edge of the spore leaflet. The sporangia group covers slightly beyond the leaf margin and is membranous.
The fertile leaves have a long handle narrow shape. It often grows in the wet side of the kerb in most parts of China, so it is also called the stalk. Its rhizome is short, the leaves are clustered, the leaf clumps are small and delicate, and the posture is delicate, which is very suitable for potted plants.
Ecological habits of phoenix fern
Hi warm and damp environment, this grass has a certain cold tolerance, but below -10 degrees, the leaf tip will freeze and yellow, slightly drought-tolerant, afraid of water accumulation, and like to grow in fertile and well-drained calcareous soil.
Originally produced in China and Japan, it is widely distributed in the south of the Yangtze River except Yunnan, and goes north to the south of Henan. Whether it is mountainous hills, plains, islands or cities, rural areas have grown. More often born in the valley stone, the edge of the well or the shrub edge of the forest. Adaptable, like sunny and slightly humid environment, also resistant to semi-yin, extremely drought-tolerant. The growth temperature is 21-26 degrees, the night temperature is 10-15 degrees, the cold is cold, the winter temperature is not lower than 5 degrees, the winter is maintained indoors, the leaves are still soft and green, and the water is less watered in winter, more sunshine.
In the summer, if you are afraid of direct sunlight, you should shield it properly. Otherwise, direct exposure will cause the blade to curl.
