Morphological characteristics: perennial herb, 20-40 cm tall.The rhizosphere is traversed horizontally, yellowish-brown, densely striped or lanceolate light brown scales, 10-25 cm long and 8-16 cm wide, and the two-way feather-shaped complex leaves below the middle; the feathers are intertwined, small feathers are obliquely fan-shaped, the base is broad and wedge-shaped, with shallow and deep cracks on the edges, and the lobes have microgroups of circular formations growing on the top of the lobe on the back of the leaf; the cap of the capsule is folded back down from the edge of the leaf tip.The rhizome is growing horizontally, densely grown brown scale hair, and the petioles are slender and hard, resembling iron wire, so it is called the iron wire fern.The leaves are ovate triangle, 2-4 rounds of feather-shaped complex leaves, fine cracks, fan-shaped bifurcation of leaves, dark green.Sporocysts grow on the top of the feather.The mastline fern is also known as the mastline fern, the mastline fern, and the water pig's wool soil. It is a perennial herbaceous leaf viewing plant of the Mastline fern family.
The rhizome is growing horizontally, densely grown brown scale hair, and the petioles are slender and hard, resembling iron wire, so it is called the iron wire fern.The leaves are ovate triangle (span-like, some like ginkgo leaves), feather-shaped complex leaves 2-4 times, finely cracked, vein-like bifurcation, leaves 10-30 cm long, small feathers are obliquely fan-shaped, dark green.The sporangia are grown in the upper end of the feather.
Masonry fern is widely distributed in tropical and subtropical areas; it is distributed in provinces and regions south of the Yangtze River in my country, from Shaanxi, Gansu and Hebei to the north. It is an indicator plant for calcified soil and limestone in my country's warm temperate, subtropical and tropical climate areas.Its ecological habit is to like warm and humid environments.
The mastiff fern is mainly reproduced in different branches.The division should be carried out in conjunction with repot before the new sprouts germinate in spring.Pull out the plants that are full of pots from the pot, break off most of the old culture soil, cut off their rhizomes, divide them into two to several clusters, and pot them separately, so that they can become new plants.In addition, the spores of the meridian fern mature and scattered in a warm and humid environment to reproduce and grow by themselves. When they grow to a certain extent, they can also be potted.
The iron wire fern likes loose, permeable and fertile calcareous soil and sand loam. When planting pots, the cultured soil can be mixed with equal amounts of loam, leaf dehurt soil and river sand.Apply liquid fertilizer once a week during the growth period, pay attention to keeping the pot soil moist and high air humidity regularly.In the dry season, water can be frequently sprinkled on the ground around the plants to increase air humidity.The iron wire likes bright scattered light and avoids direct sunlight.The light is too strong, the leaves are yellow and even die.It likes warmth and is cold-resistant, with a suitable temperature of 13-22, and a winter temperature of 5 in winter.
Among ferns, mastellar fern is one of the most popular species.The stems and leaves are beautiful, beautiful in shape, and small in shape. They are very suitable for small pot cultivation and embellishment of rock bonsai.Because the black petiole is slender and shiny, it looks very similar to human hair, and its texture is soft, like the soft hair of a girl, so it is also called“Girl's hair”Its light green thin leaves are paired with black and bright petioles, making it look particularly elegant and elegant.It likes shade, has strong adaptability, is easy to cultivate, and is more suitable for indoor potted plants to watch all year round.As a small potted plant that likes shade and leaves, it is better than the saccharomycephala in many aspects.Small potted plants can be placed on the desk or on the coffee table; larger potted plants can be used to arrange windowsills, aisles or living rooms in shaded rooms, which can be appreciated for a long time.The leaves of mastiff fern are also good leaf cutting materials and dried flower materials.
