Being in the countryside to see the countryside, all over the weeds you have noticed them, there is no medicinal value? Xiao Ju followed his mother to the mountains to work in the field, will always see a lot of medicinal value of things, some people do not know, stepped on or shoveled, good pity, after all, this weed grows very fast, in order to live can only get rid of them.

Here to introduce you to a common rural? wild grass? Generally in the field, grass, riverside, roadside, etc. are growing, so it is very common, in many countries also have distribution, more widely. So this kind of? Weed? , what exactly is it?

This kind of ? weed? Called plantain, is an annual or biennial herb, its leaves like a butterfly, and thus the mushroom Liang this side of the people called it butterfly grass, of course, different regions called different, some places called it lichen, ox tongue grass, etc., flowering and fruiting period is generally in the summer. In the ancient medical books, there are records of plantain with antidiarrheal, cough, phlegm and other effects, tea can play a role in promoting intestinal peristalsis effect.

The coughing? This efficacy of this point tried many times, recalling childhood memories, before my mother saw the family cold and cough, always go to the mountains to find plantain, boiled water, insist on drinking a few times will be able to recover. Although the herb bitter, but after all, good medicine is bitter, how to boil it? Take a plant into the pot, add water, water level over the plant a little bit on the good, with a small fire slowly cook about 30 minutes, you can!

So what should I pay attention to if I want to grow plantain?

We can dig out the plant directly from the place where it grows and plant it on the balcony, or we can use its seeds for sowing, as for the time of sowing, I personally recommend in the early fall, when the hot summer has passed, the weather is not very hot in the fall, which can improve the survival rate of the seeds. Before sowing, the potting soil is watered, and then the seeds evenly sprinkled on the soil surface, and then covered with a layer of thin soil, given a diffuse light environment waiting for germination, to be germinated and rooted, you can move to a place with sufficient light.

The survival ability of plantain is very strong, do not need to deliberately care, only need to see dry and wet, the soil is dry, give it a thorough watering to replenish water can be. Want to grow faster and more vigorous, you can occasionally give it fertilizer, there are friends of farmyard fertilizer, you can moderate irrigation of some farmyard fertilizer, no you can use some rice water fertilizer, fruit peel fertilizer or chemical fertilizer.

So, this common rural weeds, medicinal value is still quite high, usually see the plant please go around, do not step on it!
