The flower is a kind of ornamental value, medicinal value and economic value at the same time, originally grows in the wild, but now it can also be potted for indoor culture.

Introduction

Morphological features: perennial rooted perennial swamp herb. Rhizome white, long and transverse. Stem cylindrical, erect, hard and solid. Leaves are flattened and banded, up to 1m long, smooth and glabrous, with long sheaths clasping the stem at the base. Flowers unisexual, fleshy spikes terminal terete, candle-like, small gray-brown flowers.

Ecological habits: prefer warm, well-lit environment; rough management.

Garden use: embellish garden pools, lakeside, flower borders, potted plants.

Species identification: the difference between Acorus and Calamus is: Acorus has gray-brown fleshy spikes, born in the middle and upper part of the plant; the leaves are slender, without a midrib; Calamus has a distinct leafy spathe, fleshy spikes are yellowish-green, born at the base of the plant; the leaves are slightly wider, with a midrib.

Main value: high economic value, pollen that is pandanus into medicine; leaves used for weaving, papermaking, etc.; young leaf base and rhizome apex can be used as vegetables; female inflorescences can be used as pillow and cushion stuffing, is one of the important aquatic economic plants.

The cultivation method of the cattail

1. Cultivation of the cattail is by asexual reproduction. Before planting from the bushy field digging pseudostem thicker, wider leaves, green glossy, strong growth, with part of the roots and rhizomes of the bushy seedlings as seedlings. The planting spacing is 50×50 cm or 65×65 cm. When planting shallow water layer to deep planting, in order to seedling roots all into the soil is appropriate; deeper water layer, to dig holes to help seedlings congestion root stabilization, but the seedling leaves should be exposed to the water surface, otherwise bushel seedlings will be smothered to death due to lack of oxygen. After planting, the bushy field should be kept in a shallow water layer, which is conducive to the sprouting of bushy buds and planting.

2. The cattail is an aquatic crop, so the planting of cattail is inseparable from the water, and the whole growth process of its water demand is very large. So choosing a place with enough water is the first important thing when planting pandanus.

3. After planting pandelia, we should pay attention to the maintenance of shallow water, often clean up the weeds, and in the growing period of pandelia, the appropriate additional fertilizer on the growth of pandelia has a very good role in the growth of the pandelia, and in the flowering of the top is also very much,

so in the planting of pandelia above each step and details can not be ignored.

4. The bulrush itself in the water and temperature requirements are very high, so usually the temperature reaches 20 ℃, then the bulrush is very easy to survive and such an environment so that the bulrush growth is quite fast, will make the bulrush leaves more broad and color more glossy, the growth of the bulrush is better. It is very sensitive to the temperature, so its entire growth period includes three different periods of budding, planting and flowering, and the temperature needs to be a control.

5. Most of the bushes stop growing, the leaves are dark green and old and the tissue has been filled, that is the right time to harvest. Harvesting too early or too late affects the quality of bushel leaves and is not conducive to weaving and processing.

In order to facilitate the regeneration of the bushel plant root, choose a sunny day and bushel plant without dew when harvesting, harvesting height should be in accordance with the requirements of leaving most of the bushel plant pseudostem, so that the "QiBaoZhangYe". Newly planted bushel field in the first year, generally 1500 to 2250 kilograms of dry bushels per hectare: the second year can be doubled; the third year to reach a maximum of about 5300 to 6000 kilograms. Later, due to the aging of the bushes and the decline in soil fertility, the yield also declined year by year, to the fifth or sixth year to be renewed.

The plant shape of cattail is erect and unique, and has a very different ornamental effect. If you are interested in it and want to make your home more warm and moist, you can choose to raise some aquatic plants, iris is a good choice.
