This potted flower can be used as medicine to stop bleeding, and its stem sap can sober you up; keep one pot and save money on medicine

More and more friends love growing flowers, and many people keep some plants and flowers at home. Keeping them at home not only beautifies the room but also purifies the indoor air. The most common ones, such as pothos, spider plant, snake plant and so on, can absorb harmful and toxic substances indoors, purifying the air and keeping the family healthier. Of course, some flowers kept at home not only purify the air but also bloom beautiful flowers, making the home more beautiful and full of life.

The plant I am sharing with you today not only grows sturdy and upright, beautifying and decorating the room, but its flowers and stem sap also have medicinal value. It is called the golden lotus banana (Musella lasiocarpa). So today's topic is:

This potted plant's flowers can be used as medicine to "stop bleeding," and its stem can be tapped for sap to "sober you up." Keep 1 pot and save money on medicine

Musella lasiocarpa is very common in the southwestern region of our country, generally grown in courtyards. It is a very upright and sturdy plant. Musella lasiocarpa has been designated by Buddhist temples as one of the "Five Trees and Six Flowers." It is also the embodiment of goodness and the symbol of punishing evil in the literary works of the Dai people of our country. Moreover, the flowers of Musella lasiocarpa have a bleeding-stopping function. Generally, after picking the petals of Musella lasiocarpa, they are mashed into a paste and applied to a wound, producing a clear bleeding-stopping effect. Musella lasiocarpa has thick, sturdy stems. They are rich in a kind of sap that has the effect of detoxifying and sobering you up.

So keeping a pot of Musella lasiocarpa not only carries beautiful symbolism and meaning, but can also be used as a bleeding-stopping medicine and a sobering medicine. It is very practical. What matters is that Musella lasiocarpa blooms every summer, and the flowers are big and beautiful, with extremely high ornamental value. When growing Musella lasiocarpa at home, you generally need to pay attention to the following points:

Choose a large pot and fertile soil

Musella lasiocarpa likes to grow in fertile, airy soil, so when potting Musella lasiocarpa, it is best to choose a slightly larger flower pot. Put base fertilizer in the bottom of the pot, then use soil mixed thoroughly from garden soil, sand and humus soil in a 1:1:2 ratio, and plant the Musella lasiocarpa in the pot.

Keep it outdoors in a ventilated place with good light

If you have a courtyard at home, it is most suitable for growing Musella lasiocarpa, because it likes a well-ventilated environment with sufficient light. Generally, Musella lasiocarpa is grown outdoors, where air humidity, light intensity and ventilation can all let it grow healthily. If growing it indoors, it is best to place Musella lasiocarpa in a well-ventilated living room or balcony with good light.

Supplement fertilizer in summer to promote flowering

Musella lasiocarpa generally blooms in summer, so in early summer you should supplement fertilizer for the plant to promote its growth and flower bud development. Choose a compound fertilizer or organic fertilizer for fertilizing, bury it directly beside the plant's roots, and each time water thoroughly after the soil dries out.

Musella lasiocarpa whose flowers have faded should be pruned

The flowering period of Musella lasiocarpa generally lasts about 1-2 months. After the flowering period ends, the flowers of Musella lasiocarpa will gradually wilt and shrivel, and timely pruning is even more necessary. Cut off the withered flowers directly to prevent rot from affecting the plant's health.

Propagate Musella lasiocarpa by division

The propagation method of Musella lasiocarpa is generally by division. The plant will grow side shoots in summer or autumn, and by spring you can propagate Musella lasiocarpa by division, with a relatively high survival rate.

Musella lasiocarpa is a fairly easy-to-grow potted flower that can be planted in the ground in a courtyard or grown in a flower pot. Either way, it can grow lush, sturdy and upright. Its flowers can be made into a paste to stop bleeding, and its sap is very good for sobering you up. Keeping it at home serves multiple purposes at once.

That is all for today's sharing. See you next time.
