Five years ago, when I moved, my son-in-law sent me a flower like a corn leaf, and there were three sections of trunks planted together in the pot, thirty centimeters high, sixty centimeters, ninety centimeters, and each section had two or three branches in the upper part, and the leaves were very emerald green.
This plant grows very vigorously, the leaves are densely packed next to each other, watered once every three or four days, in order to ventilate, the leaves below are cut off when they are old, the leaves on the top are very emerald green, the longer and larger they grow on the balcony, and now the trunk diameter is seven or eight centimeters, the height is more than two meters, and it cannot be held indoors, so it had to be moved to the unit corridor.
In the middle of May this year, I came home and suddenly smelled a faint fragrance, at first I thought that the neighbor sprayed perfume, a closer look at the original tree blossomed, he grew a long spike of flowers in each section, there were more than a dozen spikes of flowers, the sun began to bloom after the sun set, and released a strong fragrance, each spike of flowers like a hydrangea ball, each flower has five petals, the core has five male buds and a female bud, there is a liquid like water droplets on the stalwart, touch the sticky with your hand.
Watching it bloom every night, each spike petal flowering period is very short, the next day it gradually closes, the newly grown flower spikes continue to bloom, the buds are white and crystal clear, like a white jade hairpin, showing its charm, each spike has about a dozen small flowers, about half a month of flowering.
I also saw this flower open for the first time, the neighbors are also full of praise, open the door to the house, a stream of fragrance comes to the face, especially good smell, the mood is also very comfortable, after inquiring from the Internet to know that this flower is called threaded iron, belongs to the dragon's blood tree is an evergreen shrub. This flower is native to the tropics, prefers a high temperature environment, the most suitable temperature for its growth is about 20 ~ 30 ° C, the minimum temperature can not be lower than 10 ° C.
This flower prefers a high temperature environment, and needs to be watered every 3 to 4 days, and once every 1 to 2 days in summer to keep the soil slightly moist. Apply fertilizer 1 to 2 times a month, following the principle of thin fertilizer application. It also needs to be properly pruned during growth to maintain the aesthetics of the plant.
Its leaves are very large, slightly curved thread style, so called thread iron, its flowers grow in the middle of the leaves, the stem is very thick, the flower buds are densely packed on the central stem, because the threaded iron is a tropical evergreen shrub, planted indoors when generally rarely flowering, seeing the threaded iron flowering is a very rare phenomenon.
Threaded iron not only flowering is very rare, the evening flowering is often a few hours after this bouquet of flowers will wither, the longest time can last a day, the flower language of the threaded iron flower is comfortable, peaceful, threaded iron flowering means that as long as perseverance will have good results.
Its flowers are white, the fragrance of the flowers is rich, it has been a long time of hard work, expectation, and finally ushered in a brilliant and dazzling blooming moment, to show people its charm unlimited, released at this moment, this is really a different floral fragrance, it is fresh and elegant, remote and calm, "a hui can smoke a room of incense", is the best reward for hard work.
