What leaf is the cattail leaf fan made of?

Pufan is the leaf of Begonia angustifolia, which is common in Guangdong, Fujian and other regions. Elaeagnus angustifolia feeds on perennial evergreen trees, with a plant height of about 20m, palmately divided leaves and green sides. Before making a cattail leaf fan, you should cut the leaves to dry, cut off the excess parts, clean them, flatten the wrinkles, then cut the leaves into a favorite shape and wrap them in a wide cloth.

Pukui is not resistant to the sun. When planting mallow in summer, if the light is too strong, the plants will be sunburned, making the leaves of mallow dry and brown. It is necessary to take shading measures for mallow. You can cover the plants with a sunshade net and cut off the sunburned leaves of the mallow with sharp scissors.

The difference between mallow and palm

1, different plant heights

The plant height of Pukui is 5-20m, and the diameter is 20-30cm. Palm plant height is relatively short, reaching 3- 10 meter, and its trunk is cylindrical. So it is easy for us to distinguish two plants by their height.

2. Different branches and leaves

Malvaceae plants have broad kidney-shaped leaves, fan-shaped, with a diameter of more than 1 m, a base width of 4-4.5 cm and a petiole length of 1-2 m. Palm leaves are round or nearly round, lobes are 60-70 cm long, 2.5-4 cm wide and petioles are 75-80 cm long.

3. Different inflorescences

The inflorescence of mallow is conical, with a length of 1 m, a branching inflorescence of 35 cm, a floret of 10-20 cm, a wide oval anther and a triangular filament. Palm inflorescences are drawn from leaf axils, 40 cm long, with branched inflorescences 15- 17 cm, and the anthers are oval and arrow-shaped.
