The sori cap is reniform, brownish-brown, with a lighter margin and no glabrous hairs. Nephrolepis ornamental value: Nephrolepis potted plants can be used to decorate desks, coffee tables, windowsills and balconies. They can also be hung in hanging pots in guest rooms and study rooms. In gardens, they can be used as shade-bearing ground cover plants or arranged in wall corners, rockery and poolside. Its leaves can be used as a foil for cut flowers and vases. In Europe and the United States, Nephrolepis is processed into dried leaves and dyed, becoming a new type of interior decoration material. If dendrobium is used as the main material, accompanied by Nephrolepis, bamboo palm and Schefflera chinensis, the effect is simple, bright and full of modern atmosphere. If African daisy is used as the main flower, wall inserted, and accompanied by Nephrolepis and bamboo palm, there is a strong visual decorative effect. Nephrolepis can absorb heavy metals such as arsenic and lead, and is known as the "soil cleaner". Centipede grass's ability to absorb arsenic in the soil is 200,000 times greater than that of ordinary plants. It can be harvested for many years after being planted once, and can be harvested three times a year. After absorbing a large amount of heavy metals, it is incinerated on site. The entire treatment process is subject to strict process control. Not only is the volatilization of arsenic effectively controlled during the incineration of centipede grass, but the diffusion of heavy metals in contaminated soil is also reduced, and heavy metals are blocked from entering the food chain to avoid secondary pollution.

83- Honeysuckle

Also known as honeysuckle, the name "Jin Yin Hua" comes from the Compendium of Materia Medica. The name "Jin Yin Hua" comes from the fact that honeysuckle flowers initially bloom white and then turn yellow. The medicinal herb, honeysuckle, belongs to the genus Lonicera, in the family Caprifoliaceae. Dried buds or newly opened flowers of honeysuckle and similar plants are more suitable for groundcover cultivation under forests, at forest edges, and on the north sides of buildings due to their prostrate rather than climbing abilities. It can also be used to create low green walls, and its twining ability can be used to create flower corridors, flower stands, flower fences, flower columns, and winding rockeries. Its advantages are its prolific growth and minimal management, but its disadvantages are its intertwining vines, resulting in uneven groundcover and a messy appearance.

90-Cui Luli

The underground rhizomes of the lily of the valley spread out, forming a network of interwoven horizontal rhizomes. Buds sprout upward, sending out above-ground seedlings and, in turn, producing adventitious roots, forming new plants. The stems are slightly square, grooved, and reddish-brown. The single flowers are short-lived, blooming in the early morning and withering in the evening. The capsules are long, initially green, turning brown as they mature. The seeds, which are small and powdery, are released after the fruit cracks. Suitable for garden clusters or potted plants.

In flower borders, lilies can be interwoven with other flowers to create natural patches, showcasing the natural beauty of flowers and the beauty of diverse plant communities. Taller varieties of lilies can be used as linear plantings at the back of single-sided flower borders or in the center of double-sided flower borders, while dwarf varieties can be used as edging material at the edges. Lilies have a long flowering period, making them ideal for flower bed arrangements. Their high heat tolerance makes them a valuable addition to summer flower beds. Their elegant blue-purple color stands out against more common flowers and can be combined with other plants to create a colorful flower bed pattern. Planting lilies in foundation plantings, such as in narrow strips around buildings and between roads, can enrich building facades and enhance the surrounding environment. Alternatively, planting lilies at the base of walls can help soften the harsh architectural lines between the foundation, corners, and the ground.

The dwarf variety of the ground cover, Liriodendron truncatum, has dark green foliage and densely packed small flowers. It can grow for years and can be used as a ground cover to add depth to the landscape. Liriodendron truncatum is highly resistant to drought, poor soils, and saline-alkali soils, so it can be paired with rocks, walls, or gravel to create a unique rock garden landscape.

It is typically harvested in autumn and winter, washed, and its fibrous roots removed. It is then boiled or steamed in boiling water until thoroughly cooked. The outer skin is removed while still hot, washed, and sun-dried for later use. The tuberous root of Asparagus is commonly used in Traditional Chinese Medicine and therefore holds high medicinal value.

97-Pothos chinensis (Golden Pothos)

This large evergreen vine, belonging to the genus Epipremnum, grows in tropical regions, often climbing rocks and tree trunks in rainforests. Its strong clinging nature, well-developed aerial roots, and colorful leaves, which remain evergreen year-round, with long, drooping branches, make it an excellent foliage plant. It can be placed on palm-woven columns or tree trunks for greening, in foyers and hotels, or cultivated into a hanging shape for study rooms, windowsills, walls, and walls. It can also be used as a ground cover under shaded trees, making it a well-suited indoor flower. It absorbs benzene, trichloroethylene, and formaldehyde from the air. A pot of pothos in an 8-10 square meter room acts as an air purifier, effectively absorbing harmful gases such as formaldehyde, benzene, and trichloroethylene.

98-Bamboo

Also known as Guanyin bamboo, tendon bamboo, palm bamboo, and dwarf palm bamboo, it is an evergreen foliage plant of the genus Bambusa in the family Arecaceae. It has leaf nodes, encased in sheaths with brown reticular fibers. It is a clumping shrub, 2-3 meters tall, with an upright cylindrical, noded stem 1.5-3 cm in diameter. Its stem is slender, finger-like, unbranched, with leaf nodes and a sheath at the top that breaks down into a slightly loose, horsetail-like, light black, rough, and hard reticular fiber.

The bamboo palm is a typical indoor foliage plant. Because it tolerates shade and humidity and prefers diffuse light, it can be placed indoors in bright, bright areas for extended periods. Even if kept in the dark for three consecutive months without sunlight, it can still thrive and maintain its deep green foliage. The bamboo palm grows tall and straight, with lush branches and leaves, a graceful posture, and beautiful leaves. Green all year round, it resembles bamboo but isn't, offering a beautiful and elegant tropical aesthetic. It is currently the most widely cultivated indoor foliage plant in homes. In southern China, it is often planted in clusters beneath large trees or near rockeries in courtyards, creating a natural tropical forest landscape. In northern China, it can be grown in pots, with large clumps beautifully placed either side of conference rooms or hotel entrances. A well-proportioned and well-spaced bamboo palm bonsai in a shallow pot in your living room, accentuated by a few rocks, creates a delicate and beautiful effect.

Bamboo palms, similar to Monstera, can eliminate heavy metal pollution and carbon dioxide. As large-leafed ornamental plants, they can absorb over 80% of various harmful gases, purifying the air. They can also eliminate heavy metal pollution and have a certain resistance to sulfur dioxide pollution. Of course, as large-leafed foliage plants, their greatest characteristic is their ability to digest carbon dioxide and produce oxygen, which is unmatched by other plants.
