Longevity in the plant kingdom (beating a plant)

The longevity star of the plant kingdom (a plant): Centurium.

Orchid is a gymnosperm, which grows in the desert area of western Africa. Its leaves will only grow bigger and bigger and will not fall off. The cultivation of Chinese cymbidium needs to be placed in a sunny place, so that it can receive six hours of light every day, and it needs proper shade in summer. In its growing period, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizer should be applied to promote growth.

Introduction of Osmunda japonica

Osmunda japonica belongs to gymnosperms, Hemerocallis, Osmundaceae. There is only one genus and one species of Osmundaceae, namely Osmunda japonica. Centurium, an exotic long-lived leaf, is a short stump-like plant, which grows in the desert area of southwest Africa. The whole plant has only one pair of leaves, which will not die for a hundred years, so it is called century.

When the two leaves of Centurium grow out, they will only grow bigger and bigger, and will not fall off, so they will be replaced with new leaves. The end of leaf life also means the end of orchid life in a hundred years, which means that the life span of both is the same. Centurium can live long, and so can its leaves.
