Podocarpus is an evergreen tree plant, also known as Podocarpus, Dictyophora, and Cedar. Each place has different names. In fact, it is a kind of pine, which can reach up to18m, and is generally called Podocarpus in Guangdong. Podocarpus is most common in South China of China, Hongkong and some Japanese areas. When Podocarpus bonsai prevailed, there was a saying that "there is Podocarpus at home, and a cup is not poor", which shows the preciousness of Podocarpus, and what's more, wild Podocarpus has been listed as a national second-class protected plant. So, why does it attract so much attention?

Growth habit: Luohansong likes semi-cloudy environment, warm and humid, fertile sandy soil and coastal areas, so it is more common in South China. If you want to plant Podocarpus in the north, you'd better choose potted plants. When the temperature is too low, you can move it to a warm place indoors for maintenance. The lowest temperature it can tolerate is 15 degrees. If it is lower, it will enter a dormant state. Once frostbite means stopping growth, you will see a dead branch in the spring.

Economic function: Podocarpus is a dioecious plant. Both male and female trees can blossom, but only the female tree can bear fruit. Careful observation of their flower branches can distinguish them. The fruit produced by the mother tree is edible, which can be eaten directly or soaked in wine. In addition, the material of Podocarpus is fine, uniform and easy to process, and can be made into furniture, stationery and tools. Luo Hansong's charm is elegant and upright, and his freedom is a powerful and proud momentum, which is associated with the meaning of "longevity" and "keeping wealth and being auspicious" in China culture, so it has become the darling of Chinese courtyards. For this reason, there is a great market demand for bonsai and single-plant modeling trees of Podocarpus, which is a considerable income.

The growth of Luohansong is very slow. It takes a lot of effort to cultivate a tall and straight adult plant. Some friends will cultivate feelings and will not sell them to others. It is also reasonable to be so precious. Arhat pine growing at will has no shape. When it grows to a certain extent, it should be given a fixed shape, and the shape is the leader of value!
