The two kinds of plants belong to Palmae shrubs. They have many similarities in morphology, so it's easy to mix them up. Today's Xiaobian analyzes the differences between the two kinds of plants from their morphological characteristics, growth habits, landscape functions, geographical distribution and so on. It's convenient to You know.

I. morphological characteristics

The stem of Anemone, that is, yellow coconut, is relatively smooth, the leaves are generally yellow green, without burr, the leaf surface is smooth and slender, the length is generally between 40-150cm, and the petiole is slightly curved. The small golden flowers of sunflower usually bloom in March April, the fruit is orange yellow round fruit, and the fruit is in August; the roots are mostly branched and grow in clumps; the whole rich coconut can be as high as 3 meters, the stems are mostly branched, the leaves are generally dark green, the length is generally between 50-80cm, the front end of the leaves is bent and drooping, and the surface is glossy. The flowers are like flames, growing under the leaves. When the fruit is ripe, it is a round red brown fruit. The fruit period is from October to December.

2. Growing habits

The origin of anemone is Madagascar. It belongs to tropical plants and likes warm, humid and semi shady environment. When the temperature drops below 20 ℃, the leaves will turn yellow, and when the temperature drops to about 5 ℃, it will freeze to death. Therefore, it is very cold resistant, suitable for planting in Lingnan and southwest areas, not suitable for growing in the Yangtze River and its north, but it can be planted in greenhouse. Rich coconuts also like warm, humid and semi overcast environment, but they have strong cold resistance, so they are suitable for planting in the area south of the Yangtze River. In the area north of the Yangtze River, you can choose to plant in Dapeng, but keep the temperature of the planting environment above zero ℃.

3. Landscape function

It can be planted outdoors or indoors. Sunflower has a good function in purifying air. At the same time, it also has the function of indoor moisturizing, especially when the air conditioner is turned on in winter, the indoor air is very dry, when planting a sunflower, the indoor humidity can be increased to 40-60%. Rich coconut is also often used as a green plant for interior decoration. It is not only beautiful in shape, good in shade and nutrition, but also has a good role in air purification.

Pot Green Planting

4. Geographical distribution

Horseradish is originated from Madagascar, and introduced more in the south of China. The origin of rich coconut is Australia. It can be planted indoors in many areas of China as long as you pay attention to keeping warm.
