Late autumn, the autumn wind is depressed, in the morning, I saw the winter coral in the courtyard red two, in this season of gradual depression, it is really a little eye-catching bright color.
Winter coral, also known as the fruit of the four seasons, can flower and bear fruit in all seasons, but in the cool season, there are more flowers and fruits. When the weather turns cold in late autumn, the fruit is getting more and more and it begins to change color.
Its fruit is initially turquoise, about the size of a dragon's eye, and gradually turns yellow, turning bright orange-yellow, and finally becoming bright red, like red coral beads.
The fruit of the winter coral hangs on the branches, which can last for up to three months, because it blooms in all seasons, the fruit ripens first and then, so on a tree, it can present green, yellow, orange, red and other colors at the same time, which is very beautiful and colorful.
When it is cold in winter, there are almost no flowers and trees outside, and there is a monotonous color everywhere, at this time, the winter coral can show its full beauty.
Because its fruit is bright red and the color is very festive, it is very suitable for indoor potting during the Spring Festival, so people have given it a name called Jiqingguo.
The winter coral as an indoor potted plant, generally will control its height, about thirty centimeters or so, and then properly prune the shape of the branches and leaves, it is very beautiful.
If planted on the ground and let it grow, the winter coral plant can probably grow up to two meters tall. It is an upright shrub with many branches, and if it grows a large bush in the courtyard and bears colorful fruits, it is really amazing.
The only fly in the ointment is that the fruit of the winter coral is poisonous, can only be seen and can not eat, which is probably also a way of self-protection, otherwise such a cute fruit has long been picked, where can it become a beautiful ornamental plant.
Planting winter corals at home, as long as it is prevented from being swallowed by small children, there is no problem.
It is also easy to plant winter coral, it is originally a wild wild plant, the vitality is more tenacious, and the soil requirements are not high. It is heat-resistant and relatively hardy, but in places where it is too cold in the north, it needs to spend the winter in a greenhouse.
In the home potted jiqing fruit, it is best to use loose and fertile, well-drained soil, usually keep the potting soil moist, timely fertilization, receive sufficient sunlight, the plant can grow better.
When many people plant winter coral, they find that it grows for a year or two, and the plant withers, in fact, as long as it is well maintained, it has no problem growing for seven or eight years. If you are afraid of not raising well, then you can pick its ripe fruit, sow it in the spring, grow new plants, and then flower and bear fruit, so that the ornamentality is also better.
In autumn and winter, a pot of winter coral is placed at home, full of bright auspicious fruits, which can add a warm color.
