Canna, a flower name that sounds a bit common, but tracing its roots, it was not named by common people. Before the Tang Dynasty, Canna was called red banana, and the talented scholar Luo Yin wrote a poem: "Banana leaves flutter in the jade sky, red calyxes climb high reflecting the sun's red. Just like a beauty waking from spring sleep, crimson lips and green sleeves dancing in the east wind," which made the name "Canna" famous and gradually replaced the name red banana.

Potted Canna, also called red banana and phoenix-tail flower, is a perennial bulbous herbaceous plant. Because its leaves resemble those of the banana, and its flowers are graceful and seem to smile with feeling, just like a beauty, it is named Canna. Although the name Canna contains "banana," it is not a delicate beauty. Canna has strong adaptability, tolerates high temperatures and heat, is not picky about soil, and can settle in anywhere.

Potted Canna comes in many flower colors, including bright red, bright yellow, pink, orange-yellow, and multi-colored spots. The red ones are delicate and beautiful, the yellow ones are bright and gorgeous, the orange ones are charming... As long as there is sunshine and rain, it can grow vibrantly, with lush green leaves and blooming buds.

Canna also hides nectar in the center of its flowers. Break the flower base and put the flower in your mouth to suck, and it is especially sweet and refreshing. However, do not try the Canna planted by the roadside. First, picking flowers in public places is an act lacking in public spirit; second, roadside greenery is generally sprayed with pesticides to prevent insects.

Potted Canna also has one of the most important functions: it can absorb harmful substances such as carbon dioxide, hydrogen chloride, and sulfur dioxide. Its leaves are very sensitive to the surrounding environment, but do not worry, it will quickly grow new leaves.

Planting such a small potted plant at home really has many benefits. It is an ideal flower for greening, beautifying, and purifying the environment, and it can also monitor harmful substances indoors.
