Chapter 422 Braiding
“Yes, when it was first introduced to China, it was loved by many people because of its elegant tree posture, vigorous trunk, wheel-shaped green leaves and other ornamental values.
But later I found that this plant is not cold-resistant and is more suitable for the south, so it is rare in the north. If you want to grow it, it is okay in the summer, but you can only grow it indoors in the winter. "
Lin Yuzhu nodded in understanding. These money trees all looked like large species and were quite tall. If they were kept at home, they would take up a lot of space. Nowadays, every household is generally quite crowded, so it is indeed not suitable to keep them indoors.
I just don't know why there are no small strains like those in later generations?
At this time, Mr. Fang asked again: "My niece just said that this is the fortune tree you saw?"
Lin Yuzhu nodded, "Yes, that's it."
Grandpa Fang understood. "Then the person who raised it probably couldn't remember its scientific name, so he gave it to himself. It's quite festive."
Lin Yuzhu smiled and said: "Not only is the name festive, his appearance is also festive."
"Oh? What shape? Fix the Malabar chestnut into another shape to make it grow?"
He wanted to try it at first, but the branches of this variety were too bare, without any leaves, and it was not suitable for changing its growth posture?
Lin Yuzhu shook her head. "No, he planted several fortune trees in a pot, braided them, and tied them with red cloth. Not only does it look good, it's also festive."
"What? Braiding?"
"What is used to braid hair?" Old Master Zhou, who had been listening for a while, also asked.
"We use the branches of this tree to braid." Lin Yuzhu pointed at the fortune tree. "This branch doesn't have any leaves on it, and it's so thin, it's perfect for braiding."
The others were stunned when they heard this.
"Braid, braid, the branches of plants can be braided? Then can it still survive?" Zhao Yanshu asked in disbelief.
"Why not? Plants are very tenacious. You don't need to weave it too tightly. It won't damage them or anything. It won't have any effect."
"Can it be like this?" Old Master Fang asked unconsciously, but he actually knew in his heart that it was indeed possible.
Just like when they shape potted plants, they first adjust the posture of the plant and then fix it, and slowly the plant will grow in that direction.
It's actually the same principle, but no one had thought of braiding hair with tree branches before.
So Mr. Fang was silent for a moment, then walked over and moved out several pots of money trees and put them in front of her.
"Niece, how did that braid you saw before do? Can you braid it for me and show me?"
"ah?"
Lin Yuzhu was surprised. After she reacted, she quickly waved her hands and said, "No... No, I haven't tried it before. If I break yours, it will be over."
"It's okay." Mr. Fang shook his head. "Just try it. If it breaks, it's my fault."
But Lin Yuzhu still refused. What a joke! These were imported plants. You have to know that most of the things imported from abroad these days are advanced things that are not available in China, and there are not many plants to begin with.
It must be difficult for Mr. Fang to have these pots, so she didn't dare to try it recklessly.
What if it breaks?
But Mr. Fang was very persistent and always wanted her to try it.
Seeing that she kept refusing, even Mr. Zhou finally spoke up, "Why don't you give it a try, Xiaolin? It's okay. Your Uncle Fang is rich, so it's okay even if it gets broken."
Mr. Fang also immediately assured: "Yes, yes, just try it, if it breaks, it breaks."
