Beginner plant identification and care methods, all taught to you at once

In our daily lives we always come across many plants, and some plants look extremely similar, with only very subtle differences, so when we get to know plants we may make mistakes, especially when teaching children, where a mistake would be especially awkward. So let us tell you about the plants that are commonly seen in daily life but easily confused.

So first let us talk about the differences between French marigold and African marigold. These two plants not only have similar flower colors, but their leaf shapes are also extremely similar. If we do not distinguish them carefully, we may not be able to tell which flower they are. So let us talk about what subtle differences they have. One difference in their flowers is in shape: French marigold flowers are a bit smaller than African marigold flowers.

Moreover, the color of French marigold is somewhat darker; the flowers it produces are generally dark red or dark yellow, while the color of African marigold is relatively more vivid. Next let us talk about their leaves. The sizes of their leaves actually differ noticeably, because African marigold leaves are larger than French marigold leaves, but their shapes are the same.

Forsythia, Viburnum, Yunnan yellow jasmine, and winter jasmine all have yellow flowers, and the shapes of their flowers are also remarkably similar. They are all flowers that grow on trees, and their difference lies in the fact that forsythia has four petals, which differs from the other flowers. Yunnan yellow jasmine, that is, Viburnum, grows its top into the shape of a cyme. And winter jasmine is made up of six petals; it is salverform and grows in the leaf axils of the branches.

After introducing these very similar plants, let us talk about which plants are most suitable for us to grow when we are just starting out, and which have a particularly strong survival rate and are not easy to kill. Speaking of this, everyone may think that cactus is the most drought-tolerant and very easy to grow. But the appearance of cactus is not very girly, and if we are not careful it may prick us, but this plant, cactus, is extremely drought-tolerant.

If we sometimes forget to water it, it will still grow very well, and its requirements for the environment are not very high either; it only needs watering when its soil has cracks, giving it a full and sufficient watering at one time, and giving it sunlight from time to time. As long as there is a certain amount of sunlight and water, it can grow very well, and placing it next to a computer can also absorb a certain amount of radiation, protecting us from some radiation damage, so this kind of plant is very suitable for office workers who frequently use computers.

Although this plant at the time did not have a very high appearance value, let us talk about a plant with good looks, namely succulents. Succulents do not have particularly sharp thorns, which can reduce the harm we suffer, and their appearance is also especially cute. They also belong to the cactus family, so they have a very strong drought-tolerant function, and the most important thing is that they have a very high appearance value. If given to a girl you like, girls will also especially love it, because its appearance is very cute, and its surface feels smooth and fleshy to the touch. Moreover, this kind of plant does not need frequent watering, and it can also be placed in our office for growing. It can not only beautify our work environment, but whenever we see this little green plant placed on our desk, it will also make our mood a bit more pleasant.
