Twelve volumes of succulent plants talk about the window of popular science

Today, let's talk about a very distinctive performance in the birthday category-leather windows. (thanks for the material of Sven Sven)

The first time I heard this word was many years ago. It came from the mouth of Suzhou Iron Egg. At that time, I had little knowledge about plants, the research was not very thorough, and so on. After so many years passed, as I saw more and more varieties, the understanding of the characteristics became deeper and deeper, such as burr, scrub, thick white lines, and so on. There were a variety of features, but the longevity with leather windows always attracted my attention.

(except for longevity, Vientiane / jade fans such as jade dew and purple are actually regarded as a kind of epithelial upper window, which will not be discussed in this article.)

No more nonsense, first of all, give a literal explanation.

We can split the "skin window": skin (noun)-upper (verb v)-window (noun n)

What is "skin"? the skin is the green skin on the surface of the plant. The color of the skin also determines the muscle color of the plant as a whole. We often talk about black muscle and purple muscle, which is the color of the reaction skin.

So what is the "window"? I believe that without much explanation, we all know that the top of the twelve volumes is transparent, just like the part of the skylight.

When the green skin climbs up the transparent window, it is the so-called skin window.

We know that there are many performances on the window surface of longevity, and the performance of grain is particularly attractive, among which Kangping, Spoop and Scylla are good female parents of skin window, which can bring us a lot of excellent skin window individuals through hybridization.

Let's look at it step by step. For example, Conk, with thick white stripes, has a large number of fans.

Take the well-known moon shadow as an example, if you take a closer look at the beginning of thick white lines, there is actually a slight extension of green skin, but it soon becomes a white grain.

It is not known what determines the excess of green skin and white lines, but in the process of gardening, we will intentionally or unintentionally get some individuals with more green skin and less white lines, or even pure green skin.

Like this Spoop system, the characteristics of the skin climbing up the window are very obvious. the green skin does not overturn into white lines, but extends directly to the window.

This is just the skin extending along the direction of a single grain.

As the lines become more and more complex, so does the green skin.

It becomes dense, irregular and more and more eye-catching, which is why I have always loved skin windows.
