Leaves distal or proximal; stalk 5-20 cm long, ca. 1 mm thick, slender, chestnut black, glossy, base covered with the same scales as on the rhizome, smooth upward, leaf blade ovate-triangular, 10-25 cm long, 8-16 cm wide, tip, base cuneate, mostly bipinnate below middle, odd pinnate above middle Pinnae 3-5 pairs, alternate, oblique upward, stipitate (up to 1.5 cm long), basal pair larger, 4.5-9 cm long, 2.5-4 cm wide, oblong-ovate, obtuse head, odd-pinnate, lateral ultimate pinnae 2-4 pairs, alternate, oblique upward, 6-15 mm apart, equal in size or slightly larger, symmetrical or asymmetric obliquely fan-shaped or subrhomboid at base 1.2-2 cm long, 1-1.5 cm wide, upper margin rounded, with 2-4 lobes or deeply divided into strips, sterile lobe apex obtusely rounded, with broad triangular serrulate or Erose denticulate, fertile lobe apex truncated, straight or slightly sunken, entire or both sides with Erose denticulate, both sides entire, base tapered into oblique broad cuneate, with ciliate black short stalk (1-2 mm long). Terminal pinnule flabellate, base narrowly cuneate, often larger than lateral pinnules below, stalk up to 1 cm The second pair of pinnae is 2.5-5 cm away from the basal pair, and each pair upward is isomorphic to the basal pair of pinnae and becomes smaller. The veins of the leaves are often dichotomous and bifurcate, reaching the edge, obvious on both sides. The leaves are thin herbaceous, grass-green or brownish green, both sides are glabrous; the leaf rachis, each pinnacle and petiolule are of the same color as the petiole, often slightly zigzag to the left and right. The sporangium group is 3-10 per pinna, which grows on the upper edge of the fertile terminal pinna; the cover of the sporangium is long and long kidney forms a round kidney shape, the upper margin is straight, yellowish green, brown when old, membranous, entire, persistent. The periphery of the spores is decorated with coarse grains and is often preserved after treatment.

What is the effect of mane grass?

Bristle grass, also known as pig hair seven, pig hardy grass, clematis, etc., is the whole grass of Dryopteris Dryopteris. It has the effect of clearing away heat and detoxification, promoting diuresis and purging, and has therapeutic effect on cold and fever, lung-heat cough, damp-heat diarrhea, dysentery, turbid diarrhea, breast carbuncle, furuncle poison, scald, venomous snake bite and so on.

How to raise bristle grass?

1, sufficient water, generally to keep the soil moist, and pay attention to maintain sufficient moisture during the growth of plants, and appropriately increase the humidity of the air in dry weather. Summer can not lead to lack of water, daily watering can not be wet for a while, suddenly dry, which causes the leaves to turn yellow.

2. The temperature is suitable, but the temperature requirements of Dryopteris are not very strict, but we should still pay attention to the high temperature in summer and the low temperature in winter. Generally, as long as the indoor temperature is above 5 degrees Celsius in winter, keep the cool and ventilated place at about 25 degrees Celsius in summer. If the sun shines directly, it will directly burn the leaves.

3. The fertility of the soil should not be too bad. Generally speaking, Dryopteris can grow in sandy soil rich in corrosive matter, and it can also be cultivated by purchasing culture soil. It is also important to apply fertilizer to the root every month, and to change the basin and soil in time when it is necessary to grow every spring.

4. Clematis is a kind of fern that is relatively easy to cultivate, which is different from Hongyudang, cyclamen and hollyhocks. As long as the environment is appropriate, it can be rough and extensive. After it grows into a plant, it is graceful and small without hindering the eyes. Put it in a small basin and put it in a desk or in a mountain stone bonsai to decorate it. It is very good-looking and suitable for watching indoors all the year round.

Attached: key points of indoor cultivation techniques of mane grass

Bristle grass is a plant of Pteridaceae, which has strong adaptability to shade, easy cultivation and strong ability to purify air, so it is more suitable for indoor pot cultivation. The key points of its cultivation techniques are as follows:

1. Select flowerpots and substrates suitable for the growth of mane grass.

Pot, the pot can choose light glaze basin and tile basin, basin soil must have good water permeability and ventilation, like with humus-rich peat soil or rotten leaf soil, and then add about 1 stroke 3 coarse sand and fine sand, and put in some bone powder, and the bottom of the basin should be covered with some broken tiles or coarse sand to facilitate drainage, rhizome planting depth of 1.5 cm 2.5 cm.

2. temperature and light suitable for the growth of pig mane grass.

Bristles like warm, moist and semi-shady environments. The suitable temperature for growth is 21-25 ℃ in daytime and 12-15 ℃ at night. In winter, the leaves can keep fresh green when the temperature is above 5 ℃, but frost injury will occur when the temperature is lower than 5 ℃. Like bright scattered light, afraid of direct sunlight. Avoid strong light exposure in midsummer, can be properly shaded, long-term strong light direct light will cause most of the leaves withered and yellow. It should be placed in a brightly lit place indoors so that it can grow normally even if it is placed for 1 year.

3. Timely watering and fertilization

Bristles like the humid environment, the growing season should be fully watered and sprayed, in addition to keeping the basin soil moist, but also pay attention to high air humidity, and sprinkle water around the plant when the air is dry. Especially in summer, water should be watered 1-2 times a day. If there is a lack of water, it will cause the leaves to shrink. Watering taboo basin soil when dry and sometimes wet, easy to make the leaves yellow. Apply thin liquid fertilizer 2-3 times a month, do not stain the leaves, so as not to cause rotten leaves, because of the calcium-loving habits of mane grass, basin soil should add appropriate amount of lime and broken eggshell, the effect of regular application of calcium fertilizer will be better. In winter, we should reduce watering and stop fertilizing.
