What can we plant on Arbor Day?

Arbor Day is a festival in which some countries publicize the protection of trees according to law and mobilize the masses to participate in afforestation. So what else can we plant besides planting trees on Arbor Day? Let's get to know each other.

What can we plant on Arbor Day?

Spring is so romantic, do you expect to leave it on your balcony? Besides common flowers and plants, have you ever thought about herbs? The faint bright colors are not only unique beauty, but also a feeling of self-satisfaction? Of course, at the critical moment, these herbs can also come forward to help you solve the problem!

If you are still hesitating to plant any herbs, take a look at some of my warm-hearted recommendations ~

Admission level

purslane

This is a very long grass, and the appearance of small yellow flowers is also very quiet and faint. I especially like the little girl next door who suddenly grew to 18 years old. She changed her appearance and finally impressed you.

So don't abandon it now, it's not magical enough, it's still a very introverted medicine. Purslane can clear away heat and toxic materials, cool blood and stop bleeding. Can be used for treating heat dysentery, purulent blood, heat stranguria, leukorrhagia, carbuncle, abscess and erysipelas. Its seeds also have the functions of improving eyesight and benefiting the large intestine.

If you want to plant it, you need to provide it with fertile soil and keep it moist. Of course, if you come back from a long business trip, don't worry that it will die. It is also a drought-tolerant and waterlogging-tolerant plant with strong vitality and fertility.

At the same time, you don't have to worry about the location and time. As long as the temperature is not lower than 15℃, you can sow at any time and place. Therefore, this must be an entry-level balcony herb.

purple perilla

If your home is in the south, you must plant a pot of perilla on the balcony. Perilla frutescens is not only a condiment to relieve fishy smell, but also a good medicine to prevent and treat colds. Stewed fish soup, a cold at the beginning, is really popular among the people.

Perilla frutescens is a good variety, suitable for sowing in March and April in the warm south. Sprinkle a little seed in the pot, gently cover it with a layer of soil, then pour enough water, and loosen the soil slightly after seedling emergence. After a month, you can choose strong perilla seedlings and divide them into pots.

Because perilla likes warmth and heat resistance, remember to put the basin in a sunny place in the south. Remember to replenish more water when the temperature is high.

Another advantage of perilla frutescens is that after all the leaves are lost in autumn, you don't have to throw away the perilla stalks, but you can also use them as medicine. If the stomach is cold and painful, you can get some perilla old terrier, add some ginger and pepper, and stew it in the pork belly. When you feel sick all over, you can also take a bath with perilla stem boiling water.

dandelion

Next, I recommend an entry-level balcony herb, which is lively and lovely and is the favorite of children. Of course, it can also make you instantly childlike in generate. Yes, it is the dandelion that everyone loves ~

Its vitality is tenacious, and the seeds will take root wherever they fall. Generally, it germinates quickly at the ground temperature of 15℃, which is suitable for sowing in early spring, and germinates in about 10 days, and the early summer is the flowering and fruiting period.

Dandelion, sweet in nature, slightly bitter, cold, enters the liver and stomach meridians. This product can clear away heat and toxic materials, reduce swelling and disperse hard mass, so it is mainly used for heat toxic sores and carbuncle, heat toxic attack, sore throat with red eyes and sore mouth. If one day you are angry, grab a handful of dandelion seedlings on the balcony and eat them cold. Very fragrant.

cactus

Don't underestimate cactus, although it has many thorns, it can clear away heat and toxic materials, dissipate blood stasis and reduce swelling, strengthen stomach and relieve pain and cough. It can also be used for gastric and duodenal ulcer, acute dysentery and cough. External use has special effects on parotitis, mastitis, carbuncle and furuncle, hemorrhoids, snake bites, burns and scalds; Fresh cactus can not only be ground into powder for external use, but also stop bleeding and act on ulcer bleeding. Wow, amazing my little cactus!

What is even more frightening is that cactus is tenacious and drought-resistant. Don't water it when planting, as long as the soil is moist but not wet. Also, if you give some sunshine anytime and anywhere, it will be brilliant.

China violet

At first glance, this violet flower looks like the name of a fairy in Xian Xia's novels. Of course, I thought its appearance was fairy-like. Now you can see it at will on the grass and hillside of the park.

Don't be afraid that it's getting late, you can sow, it's easy to germinate and survive, and it's easy to reproduce. You can plant it separately, sow it or reproduce naturally.

This is also a good medicine for clearing away heat and toxic materials, reducing swelling and relieving pain, mainly used for jaundice, dysentery, mastitis, redness and pharyngitis; External application can treat traumatic injury, carbuncle swelling, snake bite and so on. Take orally, take 2~3 fresh products and mash them. If it is for external use, it should be mashed or plastered.

Progressive class

The root of platycodon grandiflorum

Hurry up, March-April is a good time to plant platycodon grandiflorum, which is suitable for planting in Lingnan and Northeast China. Generally, 1 time is poured every three to four days in spring and autumn, 1 time is poured every day after 5 pm in summer, and it is generally not watered in winter. In order to serve the balloon flower, we need to provide it with a warm, sunny, cool and humid environment. For example, balloon flowers in nature are born on hillsides, grasslands or beside ditches.

While enjoying its beauty, if you happen to have unpleasant expectoration, sore throat and lung abscess, you need to dry its roots and take 9- 15g decoction, and you will get the effect.

motherwort herb

If you are a female friend, you must have an impression of motherwort. Many girls with dysmenorrhea will be treated with motherwort cream of traditional Chinese medicine. Motherwort has red flowers and white flowers, and most of the rural wasteland in Guangzhou and Hong Kong grows. There is an old saying:? Does motherwort safflower divide blood and white flowers divide gas? .

Yes, the young plant of Leonurus japonicus is a kind of herbal medicine for women's health care and diet. Can be boiled in eggs, sliced pork soup and boiled in white. Various eating methods have therapeutic effects on irregular menstruation and dysmenorrhea in women.

Therefore, if someone at home is troubled by gynecological diseases one day, this grass on the balcony can come in handy: motherwort, which is pungent, slightly bitter and slightly cold. It has obvious effect on postpartum hemorrhage, lochia, abdominal pain, hemostasis and lochia caused by uterine contraction.

For the treatment of lump, chronic adnexitis, pelvic inflammatory disease or women who have not been pregnant for a long time due to weakness of qi and blood and low reproductive function, motherwort 1-2 can be added with appropriate amount of brown sugar and decocted with water instead of tea, or motherwort 1-2 can be decocted with 5 bowls of clear water into 2 bowls, and then the chicken can be stewed with soup after slag removal, which has a certain curative effect for long-term use. For general menstrual diseases, you can also refer to this method.

In addition, secretly tell you that the seeds of Leonurus japonicus are still a good medicine for treating eye diseases ~ from the spring equinox to awn seeds every year, they can be planted in most parts of the country.

rue

If you touch this rue herb with your hand, it will stink, so it is also called smelly grass. It is a perennial herb of Rutaceae, about 3~4 feet high. The whole plant is pink and white with a strong smell. It is not afraid of frost and snow, and it doesn't like giving birth. Just water it with clear water. Planting under trees can kill insects and hide snakes, scorpions and centipedes. This is much more environmentally friendly than those pesticides!

Ruta originated in southern Europe and is cultivated all over the world. It has been in China for 300 years. The whole grass is very tall, people like the sun, and it is very easy to breed. It can be planted in the ground, so it is an ideal balcony plant ~

As a herbal medicine with the same origin of medicine and food, decoction can treat stomachache (stomach spasm); Decocting mung beans with water can also clear away heat, and can also be used alone to treat stomachache. Probably, the smelly grass has a strong antispasmodic effect. For heartburn women, you can smell it from people who rush to the uterus until the symptoms are relieved; One or two fresh ones can treat hypertension, headache, stomachache, asthma, swelling and falling pain in children.
