Parasitism is a parasitic plant, which can absorb water and inorganic substances from the host plant and make nutrients through photosynthesis, but the nutrients are still insufficient. So when the host plant withers, the mistletoe will wither with it. Of course, mistletoe will wither soon after leaving the host plant, but it is said that after several months of storage, the branches will gradually turn golden yellow.

Generally speaking, mistletoe will be used as a decoration on the Christmas tree, or made into a circle to hang at the door. It is regarded as a sacred plant in the west and is often used to decorate Christmas trees. It is said that kissing under mistletoe is very auspicious. It is said that couples who kiss under mistletoe will be together forever.

In ancient Norse mythology, Bird, the god of peace, was shot with arrows by the evil gods Roach and mistletoe. Mistletoe is the only thing in the world that can hurt Bird. Bird's mother, Erfu, was very painful when she learned about this. She and the gods tried their best to save Bird's life and finally saved him. Fu was very grateful. She promised to give a kiss to the person standing under the mistletoe, which formed the custom of kissing under the mistletoe at Christmas.

Mistletoe symbolizes love, peace and forgiveness.
