Difference between Lobelia and Stonewort: different growing environment, different uses.

1, longbeard, also known as unicorn cabbage, is also an alga, and stonewort grows in the middle of the sea and sandstone is different, longbeard grows on coral reefs, China is common in the South China Sea Sea area, longbeard can be extracted from agar agar, agar agar can be eaten, but also can be used as an industrial raw material.

2, stone cauliflower, also known as sea jelly vegetables, red silk, phoenix tail, etc., belongs to a kind of red algae, stone cauliflower transparent body, as if jelly, taste sharp and crisp, both can be mixed with cold into the dish to eat, but also be able to make a cold powder to eat, stone cauliflower or the main raw material for the refining of agar, agar is a very important plant gum, belonging to the fiber class of food, can be dissolved in hot water, agar is used to make cold food, jellies, or culture media for microorganisms.

Growing environment of Lobelia and Stonecrop:

Lobelia: the growth of the appropriate temperature of 12-22 ℃, born in the grassy slopes or under the forest at an altitude of 400-2300 meters, in the high temperature in the summer or the low temperature in the winter, the part that is exposed outside the sand died, but the part that is hidden in the sand survived, so in the temperature is suitable for the algae can be grown rapidly The relative density of suitable seawater is 1.018-1.022, and it can grow within the range of 1.005-1.026, and it grows well in 20-40 centimeters under the surface of water, and it can survive in water depth of less than 3 meters.

Stonecrop: Stonecrop grows on coral reefs in the sea, it likes to grow in the water quality is clean, smooth tidal currents, high salinity of the sea, mostly purplish red or crimson, from the point of view of the vertical distribution of the stonecrop shoulders in the shade-loving plants, generally grow in the sea floor below the line of the large dry tide to the depth of 10 meters or less on the sea floor on the rock, but there are some kinds of distribution can be a little deeper.
