There are many ferns. Usually ferns rely on spores to reproduce their offspring, and generally do not use their own seeds. Therefore, ferns are actually a special kind of existence. Pteridophytes are generally inseparable from water resources, which is precisely because they all need the help of water to fully cultivate new offspring when breeding.

So in this issue, Bian Xiao will introduce you to the new introduction of pteridophytes. How many do you know?

1, Dryopteris nephrolepis

This plant also has a name called Pteris vittata. The origin of Dryopteris should be in tropical or subtropical regions. Kidney ferns are usually raised at home, but they are generally not wild. Of course, if you want to get wild nephropteris, you can also visit South China in China.

Kidney fern likes warm and humid places, but generally does not like direct sunlight. Its environment is in a relatively cool place. Kidney fern itself has certain ornamental value, and many gardens have their own cultivated kidney fern.

In addition to the above introduction, nephropteris also has a great feature, that is, it has a large number of sporangia on its back, which can be used by nephropteris to reproduce its offspring. Of course, it can also be used as medicine. The medicine made from it has the function of clearing away heat and relieving cough. Even in the medicine prescribed by some doctors for patients with acute gastroenteritis, there is also the figure of kidney fern.

2. Adiantum

Adiantum is also a common fern, which can be kept indoors. It is precisely because the rhizome of Adiantum is slender and the color is similar to our usual iron wire, so it is named.

Adiantum also likes to be in a cool environment. If it is placed in direct sunlight, it will easily lead to the death of Adiantum, which is a commonly used greening plant in our family. More experienced people all know where Adiantum is, which means it is calcareous soil. Many geologists rely on Adiantum as a place to look for calcareous soil.

3. Antlers fern

Antlers fern is an epiphyte, and its spore leaves are very similar to the horns of sika deer, hence the name. Pyrola is a peculiar ornamental plant, and it is precisely because of its peculiar characteristics that it attracts many viewers. In some parks and botanical gardens, antlers are planted.

4. prickly

Alsophila spinulosa is also a kind of fern, but this kind of plant is not an ordinary fern, but is known as a living fossil. Alsophila spinulosa existed a long time ago, that is, the age of dinosaurs. In China, Alsophila spinulosa is a first-class protected plant.
