Green Ingot Morphological Characteristics

It is a medium-sized tree with odd-pinnate compound leaves and alternate leaflets. The leaves are lanceolate-oblong, about 8-12 cm long, entire, and leathery. The pods reach 20 cm in length, and the seeds (that is, the Green Ingot) are oval, as large as a chicken egg, and can be roasted for eating.

The ornamental focus of the Castanospermum australe seedling lies in the swollen basal seed ball and the sprouts that grow from it, so it must be kept clean and glossy; when watering daily, be careful not to splash muddy water, and keep the surface of the pot level.

Green Ingot Growing Habits

Green Ingot prefers a semi-shaded environment and is not tolerant of sun exposure or deep shade. In winter it can be managed in full sun, which helps it overwinter. It likes high temperatures and is suitable for planting in loose, fertile loam or sandy loam. In winter, avoid prolonged moisture.

Main Uses of Green Ingot

Ornamental: Green Ingot is mainly a small potted plant, and can be placed indoors on a desk, office table, shelf, or curio cabinet, showing the natural beauty of the plant and making people feel relaxed and happy.

Feng shui: Green Ingot has two cotyledons, like the yuanbao used in ancient times, symbolizing wealth. Therefore, many flower enthusiasts want to grow Green Ingot to bring in wealth and treasure.
