What plants are suitable for growing in desert regions?
In the desert, as long as there is water, any plant can grow, whereas in saline-alkali land that neither drains nor settles its alkali, not many plants can survive. What plants are suitable for growing in the desert?
Below we introduce desert plant varieties. Desert rose (Adenium obesum (Forsk) Balfer Roem et Sehult)
Apocynaceae, small tree. Leaves long spoon-shaped, clustered at the tips of the branches. Flowers rose-red, large and beautiful, an ornamental flower.
Variegated stapelia (Stapelia variegata Linn.)
Apocynaceae. Stems succulent and fleshy, club-shaped, with four ridges; leaves reduced to short spines; flowers with brown markings. Ornamental plant.
Giant stapelia (Stapelia gigantea N. E. Br.)
Apocynaceae. Stems long, stick-shaped, with distinct four branches; leaves reduced; flowers large, five-lobed, with brown fine stripes on the inner surface. The flower shape is peculiar and highly ornamental.
String of pearls (Senecio rowleyanus Jacobson)
Asteraceae, herbaceous plant. Stems long, hanging, or lying flat on the ground; leaves fleshy, spindle-shaped, round-spherical, able to store water; flowers borne at the tips of the branches. A sand-growing drought-tolerant plant, often potted as an ornamental plant.
Cactus (Opuntia cochinellifera (Linn.) Mill.)
Cactus family plants:
In order to adapt to the living conditions of the arid desert, the plant body is succulent and fleshy, to store water; the leaves have become needle-shaped, to prevent massive evaporation of water. These plants are called cactus plants. Cactus plants originated in the Americas or Africa, and have been introduced in large quantities domestically, with a few escaping to grow wild. As ornamental plants, cacti have a great many varieties, and many precious varieties have become treasured objects on people's tables.
The desert plant room, also known as the cactus and succulent plant room, covers an area of 1200 sq m, cultivating and displaying more than 1000 species and varieties of cacti and succulent plants.
