Today I take you to know one of the most common small weeds in the countryside, this plant growth is more characteristic, it is to find a lot of branches on a plant, and in the middle of the two leaves will add a small fruit, even a branch and so on, like a horse whip.
In fact, it is called "Ze Lacquer". It is a perennial herbaceous plant of the family Euphorbiaceae, up to 40 cm tall. The stem usually branches, and in some places it is also called five-lamp grass, five clouds, five-wind grass, and so on. Dear friends, do you have this little weed in your hometown?
Cat's eye grass is very adaptable in China's distribution range is also very wide, almost all the fields have its figure " Ze lacquer stem is oval, wrapped in the middle. Its leaves and seeds are wrapped together and look like cat's eyes. So in my hometown, we all call it "cat's eye grass". Everyone looks at its leaves, which also look a bit like clouds, basically each leaf has five leaflet petals, so he also has a very nice name called Five Clouds.
Although the flowers that grow out of the "Ze lacquer" are golden yellow. Although it looks very beautiful, but friends living in rural areas know that the paint has a certain toxicity, everywhere in the countryside, it looks more conspicuous, people living in rural areas will warn their children not to touch it, because its stem will overflow with milky white juice after breaking, if you accidentally touch your hands with this white liquid, it may cause blistering or even allergies. There is also this weed that cannot be pulled home to feed the rabbits.
Because there are many such weeds in Nabao's hometown, my parents and family have been warning me not to touch them. As a child, although it looks like the cat's eye grass grows particularly well, under the intimidation of the family, even if you like it, you dare not touch it with your hands. As I grew older, I learned after turning through books that Sawa lacquer is now popular. Generally harvested in the summer and autumn of each year, its whole plant can be medicated, with detoxification, insecticide, expectorant and cough effects.
Of course, in some places, farmers do not know the value of cat's eye grass, and because it grows relatively fast, it affects the growth of crops, so most of the farmers and friends have removed it as a weed.
In fact, when we see this beautiful cat's eye grass in the wild, we can also dig a tree home and plant it on our own balcony, which not only beautifies its own balcony, adds a bright color to its balcony, but also helps farmers and friends in addition to harm, it is simply the best of both worlds.
But when digging, try to wear gloves, do not let the white juice stain on your body, especially do not get into your eyes or wounds.
After going home, find an ordinary flower pot, use the pot soil that we usually use most often, because the vitality of this weed is very strong, water dry and thorough, and more sunshine can make it very exuberant.
If you want its entire plant to grow larger and have more oily green leaves, you can also add a little rotting rice water when watering, which is very simple.
Do you like this strange and beautiful cat's eye grass? If you like it, you can go out into the wild and find one, and it is also good to raise it as a potted plant!
