Fern
Fern (Latin name: Pteridiumaquilinum (L.) Kuhnvar.latiusculum (Desv.) Underw.exHeller) is a fern in the fern family Fernaceae. The original variant is the European fern. The plant is up to 1 meter tall. The rhizome is long and transverse, densely rusty-yellow pilose, and later gradually glabrescent. Leaves distant; stalk 20-80 cm long, base 3-6 mm thick, brownish brown or brownish straw-colored. Leaf rachis and pinnae smooth, pinnules smooth above, sparsely hairy below, rarely densely hairy, each pinnae with 1 deep longitudinal furrow above, furrow glabrous. Produced all over the country, but mainly produced in the Yangtze River basin and the north, subtropical areas are also distributed. Born in the sunny slopes of mountains and forest edges, 200-830 meters above sea level.
Fern strong resistance, wide adaptability. Prefer light, moist, cool climate conditions. Both high temperature and low temperature resistance, in 32 ℃ can still grow normally, in -36 ℃ under the rhizome can be safe overwintering, young leaves in -5 ℃ before suffering from frost damage, in the ground temperature of 12 ℃, the air temperature of 15 ℃ when the leaves began to grow rapidly, the spore development of the appropriate temperature is 25 ~ 30 ℃. Fern is sensitive to light, strong light and low light can grow normally, but in the case of longer hours of light growth and development, the plant is robust and tall. It has very strict water requirements and is not drought tolerant. The soil is rich in organic matter, deep, well-drained, neutral or slightly acidic.
Practice
Ferns should be treated immediately after picking back to prevent aging. Nutrition loss. First remove the curly head fern flowers, wipe the fine hairs, with a concentration of 1% of the grass ash water, (that is, there are 1.5 pounds of high-quality dry straw burned into ash powder, dissolved in water and filtered, and then clean natural water 80-100 pounds) contained in a clean dissolver for soaking for 3-5 hours (grass ash water to cover the ferns is appropriate) and then according to the size, length, and color of the ferns equal to the ferns to kill the green.
Method 1: the available concentration of 1% of the grass ash water and the corresponding ferns at the same time put the pot, with a strong fire, burned to the gray water bubbling and then extend the 2-4 minutes can be.
Method two: first prepared grass ash water boiling, with the corresponding fern into the boiling water hot 2-3 minutes. In short, scalded to mature through the heart, roll and constantly appropriate. Scalded ferns should be immediately rinsed with clean cold water (preferably flowing water). After washing and draining with a leaky dissolver, dry in the sun or wait for use.
