Mention Saxifraga stolonifera, and perhaps many people are not unfamiliar with it. Even if they have not seen it, they have very likely heard of it. It was Mr. Shen Congwen's beloved plant and also the most beautiful touch in "Border Town." Potted Saxifraga stolonifera is an annual evergreen herbaceous plant, with fuzzy heart-shaped leaves that also bear stripes, very pleasing to look at.

Potted Saxifraga stolonifera has low demands on the environment, and it can even be said that its growing environment is relatively harsh. Under shady and damp forests, in shrub thickets or beside stones, it can be seen everywhere, and each time it grows in large patches. Growing it in pots at home, especially in particularly humid and shady spaces, is very good.

Potted Saxifraga stolonifera - looking at its leaves, they indeed somewhat resemble tiger ears. Its other names include Shí Hé Yè, Jīn Xiàn Diào Fú Róng, Jīn Sī Hé Yè, Ěr Duo Hóng, and Lǎo Hǔ Cǎo. Its greatest value is that the entire plant can be used as medicine, and its medicinal value is extremely high. For eczema, festering frostbite, otitis media, whooping cough, and more, it has unique therapeutic effects.

For potted Saxifraga stolonifera, press the fibrous roots firmly with moist humus soil, water thoroughly, and place it in a damp, shady corner of the home. Or just plant it in a small pot and place it in the office or bathroom. As long as it is kept moist, it can grow very well, and there is no need to worry about root rot from watering too much, because it is originally a plant that likes damp and shady conditions.

Potted Saxifraga stolonifera will bloom, with small white flowers. It has five petals; the upper three petals are relatively small, while the lower two petals are especially long. Moreover, the upper and lower petals differ in shape and also differ in color, but the flower as a whole is still symmetrical, very peculiar.

After the flowers fade, cut off the flower stems, and the plant will begin to grow crazily, producing many small plantlets. Many of these plantlets hang outside the pot by thin threads, so it can be grown as a hanging plant, very beautiful.
