A cactus kept for 20 years and a Milan for 30 years, taller than a house

Huahua has a friend whose mother gave her a potted plant when she was born. More than 20 years have passed, and that plant has now grown taller than a house. This story moved Huahua deeply. So today, Huahua is here to talk with all you flower lovers about what those plants that have been kept for so many years actually look like.

A Milan tree 8 m tall

The first time Huahua saw a Milan this big, Huahua was simply stunned, because in Huahua's impression, Milan is basically a short little plant in a pot. To think it could grow this big, it must have become a spirit, right?

This giant Milan has been kept for about 8 years. Every year when it is pruned, you have to climb a ladder to do it, otherwise you cannot reach! Huahua thinks that when such a big Milan blooms, the fragrance must be noticeable even inside the house!

Another flower lover's Milan at home is said to have been kept for 35 years. Well, that is even older than Huahua.

Look at this Milan that has been kept for 35 years. Just the branches are already this thick. Huahua estimates that this branch is probably thicker than my calf!

A 30-year-old gardenia

Because Huahua lives in the north, Huahua had never seen a gardenia that had grown into a tree. Seeing one today was a real shock!

With a gardenia this big, when it blooms you can pick the flowers directly and make a fragrant plate of scrambled eggs with gardenia flowers. It feels like the whole family would have enough to eat!

A 23-year-old cactus

The tallest cactus Huahua had seen from childhood to adulthood was only a bit more than half a meter, but there is a flower lover who has grown a cactus to more than 5 m tall. That is really frightening!

The owner of the cactus said this cactus was planted in 1994, and counting to now it has already been 23 years. The width of the branches is almost 20 cm. It really is a cactus tree worthy of the name!

A 20-year-old Euphorbia neriifolia

The flower lover said he bought this Euphorbia neriifolia 20 years ago at a flower market for 30 yuan. In spring, it is placed on the west-facing balcony, and before winter arrives it is placed on the enclosed south-facing balcony. In the blink of an eye, it has been alive for 20 years.

Flower lovers, look at the roots and stems of this Euphorbia neriifolia. They are quite a bit thicker than a drink bottle. Because it is in the north, once autumn comes it is moved indoors, and the leaves of the Euphorbia neriifolia stay green all winter long!

A 20-year-old cactus column

Huahua has seen a cactus column grow to 2 m, but a cactus column that has grown as tall as a 2-story building is something Huahua is seeing for the first time!

Seeing such a tall cactus column, Huahua can only say with relief that fortunately it was not kept indoors at the time, otherwise it would have even pierced through the roof!

Alright, that is all Huahua will introduce for today.
