Guanyin Lotus is a herbaceous plant with special effects in traditional Chinese medicine. Let's take a look at the uses of Guanyin Lotus.

Guanyin Lotus is a terrestrial fern, with plants reaching up to 90cm tall. The rhizome is horizontal or slanting, thick and short, with brown short glandular hairs at the top. Leaves are clustered; the petiole is 25-50cm long, with a longitudinal groove on the ventral side, densely covered with brown short glandular hairs when young, gradually falling off later; the leaf rachis and pinna rachis are sparsely covered with brown glandular hairs, and there is often an ovate bud on the leaf rachis, brownish-green; the blade is membranous, narrowly ovate or triangular-elliptic, 30-45cm long, 18-36cm wide, finely divided four times pinnate; the first-order pinnae are 10-15 pairs, nearly opposite, stalked, narrowly ovate, the first pair of pinnae is the largest, 14-24cm long, 8-12cm wide; the second-order pinnae are about 15 pairs, alternate, short-stalked, narrowly ovate to lanceolate, 4-7cm long, 1.2-2cm wide; the third-order pinnae are 8-10 pairs, alternate, short-stalked, obliquely oblong, 6-8mm long, 5-6mm wide, with 1-2 pointed lobes on each side; the veins are pinnate, with lateral veins forked within the lobes. The sori are small, round, borne near the top of the small veins on the back of the leaf, without indusia.

Guanyin Lotus has a slight effect on absorbing indoor toxic gases, dust absorption, sterilization, air purification, filtering turbid air, and can slightly increase indoor humidity. To emphasize again, the succulent type of Guanyin Lotus only has the effect of slightly absorbing toxic gases and slightly increasing humidity. In fact, Guanyin Lotus can be used as medicine, with effects such as dispelling wind and dampness, and relieving pain. Its most important use is in treating typhoid diarrhea, rheumatism, rhinitis and various skin diseases.

For ordinary household cultivation, it should be noted that the Araceae Guanyin Lotus is toxic, not the Crassulaceae succulent Guanyin Lotus; when planting the Araceae Guanyin Lotus, try to avoid growing it in households with children, and also pay attention during care, and be sure to prevent children and uninformed people from eating it by mistake or ingesting it through other channels. Once eaten by mistake, in mild cases there will be swelling of the tongue and throat, vomiting and diarrhea, and in severe cases suffocation and cardiac paralysis. If poisoned by mistaken ingestion, it is necessary to immediately take egg white, flour paste, drink a large amount of sugar water, or receive intravenous injection of glucose saline.

Echeveria Guanyin Lotus, also known as Gem Stone Flower, Stone Lotus Palm, Lotus Palm, belongs to the Crassulaceae family and the Echeveria genus. The leaf rosette is compact, upright and rosette-shaped, the leaves are cuneate-obovate, with a short, sharply pointed apex, hairless, powdery blue. The flower stem is soft, with bracts, covered with white frost.

Its plant shape is dignified, like a blooming lotus, and the leaf color is rich in variation. The purplish-red leaf tips are extremely distinctive. It is suitable for small and medium-sized potted plants or combined potted plants, planted in flower pots of different shapes.

It likes a sunny, cool and dry environment. It is an alpine succulent plant. In summer high temperatures and winter cold, the plant is in a dormant state. Appreciation of Guanyin Lotus pictures: the main growing period is in the relatively cool spring and autumn seasons. During the growing period, it requires sufficient sunlight. If the light is insufficient, the plant shape will become loose and not compact, affecting its ornamental value, while plants growing in sufficient light have thick and plump leaves, a compact plant shape, and beautiful leaf color.
