Angel stepped on the hesitant steps and walked on the bluestone path back to the palace, where she lived was closer to the emperor's bedroom, so it also seemed a little cooler, but Angel didn't feel anything that made her happy.

Maybe it's the pleasure factor out of suffering, but Angel really found something slightly interesting, which is a more special plant.

Leaves basal, petioles long, lower sheathed; The leaves are thick, green, heart-shaped or arrow-shaped, the apex is sharp, tapering or has a tail-like pointed tip, and the base is heart-shaped or halberd-shaped.

Native to the rivers or swamps of southern Africa, it likes light, and avoids strong direct light, the temperature needs to be warm and cool, humid, avoid drought, prefer warm climate, not cold-tolerant, and the growth temperature is about 20 °C.

It prefers humid environments and is not drought tolerant. In winter, sufficient light is needed, and there are few flowers due to insufficient light. It prefers loose and fertile, humus-rich permeability, acidic sandy loam. The dormancy period varies from region to region. It is advisable to move indoors in winter, bloom in winter and spring, and dormant in summer due to high temperature and drought.

Calla lily is poisonous, containing a large amount of herbal calcium crystals and alkaloids, and accidental consumption can cause poisoning symptoms such as lethargy. Its toxicity is tubers, Buddha flame buds and fleshy spikes, and the inflorescences are poisonous. Chewing a small tuber can cause swelling and soreness in the tongue and throat. Fresh calla lily tubers are mashed in an appropriate amount and applied externally to treat burns. Oral use is contraindicated. Eating a little bit by mistake can cause vomiting, but after boiling, you can feed wild boars, and boiled leaves can cure minor headaches, but medicinal use must be used under the guidance of a doctor.

The words of calla lily are fraternity, holiness and piety, eternity, elegance, nobility, nobility, hope, nobility, purity, pure fraternity, elegance of temperament, spring breeze pride, pure and flawless love.

Angel walked up to the palace maid who was taking care of the calla lily, "Excuse me!" You ......"

The moment the woman looked up, Angel didn't feel that her eyes lit up, a woman dressed in white like snow, her skin was brighter than snow, her eyes were like a pool of clear water, and she turned around on Angel's face a few times. This girl's appearance is extremely beautiful, she is really like a pearl, beautiful jade, and there is a faint breath of book between her eyebrows.

The woman smiled euphemistically, "Sister, I don't know what to order?" ”

Angel was stunned, "Sister? Silently hearing this title, she was really a little uncomfortable, glanced at her dress, this morning for flower arrangement, actually did not bring any ornaments, even the clothes are ordinary light green, although it is made of high-quality silk, but it is inevitable that it is still reminiscent of which palace concubine is the palace maid.

"No, I want to ask you, is there anything else in this flower room?" Angel simply adjusted her attitude and made a mistake.

The woman was a little strange when she saw Angel asking, and shook her head regretfully, "This pot of flowers was planted by myself to enjoy, if you like it, I will give you this pot of flowers, but I want to know, what kind of flower is this." ”

Angel was stunned when she heard this, she didn't know what kind of flower this was, she really felt a little strange, but then she thought about it and was relieved, calla lilies are distributed in China and southern Africa, and it is very normal for people in this world not to know this kind of flower "This is called calla lily, which symbolizes elegance and nobility!" ”

The woman lowered her head and smiled, and with some reluctance, she picked up the calla lily in her arms and stuffed it into Angel's arms, "My name is Shen Qianqi, and I am the palace maid of this imperial garden, who specializes in taking care of these flowers." ”

Angel got her beloved flowers, and she was happy to make friends with the woman in front of her, "You can call me Ruoxi, I have been waiting in front of Chen Guiyi Niangniang before." ”

"Ruoxi!" Shen Qianqi muttered Angel's words, always feeling that something was wrong, but she still nodded and said with a smile, "Your name is very beautiful, and you know a lot of things, how do you know that this is calla lily?" I asked a few masters who had been growing flowers and plants for many years, but they didn't know any of them, except that they were flower seeds that were paid tribute by foreign countries. ”

"I saw it in the book, by the way, you said that this is a flower seed from a foreign domain, so is there any such seed?" Angel suddenly felt that it would be good to bring them back to her own raising, at least much better than looking at the peonies in this yard.

Shen Qianqi nodded, "There is still a pack, I took a few, but only this one pot has grown like this, the others are either defeated or have not sprouted, and there is a pot that I don't know what's going on, there are a lot of strange spots, and it also secretes very strange mucus." ”

The corners of Angel's mouth twitched, of course, this kind of words are more common than the general flower color calla lily common diseases mainly bacterial diseases, fungal diseases, common diseases are soft rot, root rot, leaf spot and leaf mold. The infected leaves and stems turn dark green, have necrotic and rotten spots, and secrete mucus, which eventually collapses. At the same time, the tubers begin to rot and have a foul smell.

The insect pests of calla lily mainly include bacterial soft rot, aphids, red spiders, etc. Bacterial soft rot can be dangerous hài leaves, petioles and tubers, mainly transmitted by tuber carriers, and can be prevented and controlled by 500 times spray of Bordeaux liquid at the beginning of the disease.

In spring, summer and autumn, calla lilies should be kept outdoors in the leeward shade to avoid direct sunlight, but from mid-October they need to be moved indoors to the light for maintenance. In winter, when the sun is good, there are more flowers; Conversely, there is less flowering.

calla lilies prefer warm climates and can withstand low temperatures of 4°C. It can bloom in winter at a room temperature of 15°C, and can grow and bloom at nights above 10°C. In addition, in winter, make sure that the room temperature is not lower than 8°C so that it will not be frozen.

In winter, the indoor air is dry, and a small sprayer can be used to spray water on the leaves and ground of calla lilies frequently to keep the potting soil moist and improve air humidity. After winter, the leaves can be washed once a week with shallow water close to room temperature to keep the leaves fresh and green. If the air is dry, spray water around the flowers to humidify. To promote flowering in early spring, you can water 1-2 times in thin fertilizer in December.

In winter, calla lilies generally need to be fertilized 3 times before entering the greenhouse. After entering the room, indoor fertilization can be once a month or half a month, if the room temperature is high, the number of fertilization can be increased accordingly.

It can be said that the cultivation method of calla lily is more harsh, especially in winter, it is more obvious, Yuguo has never bred calla lily, Shen Qianqi can cultivate a pot of flowers, which is already very rare.

"It's okay, as long as you can give me some seeds like this, our mother likes this kind of flower, and when I was a girl in the boudoir before, I used to find such flowers!" Angel felt that her lying skills were really getting higher and higher, but fortunately, she was Chen Guiyi herself, so this way of lying was nothing.

Shen Qianqi nodded, she didn't care about this matter, anyway, those seeds were still placed, it was better to give them to her as a favor, "I don't have any seeds here, but I can help you and my aunts ask for a few, I heard Aunt Qiu say that she still has ten in her hand, and I will give them to you in the afternoon." ”

Angel nodded, ten, it doesn't sound like a little, but it's definitely not too much, although it's just some flower seeds, but it's still a foreign tribute, and the seeds that can't be planted are at most told to take them to the real yàn, and in the end nothing is planted, and there is still a little left in the end.

"Then am I still here waiting for you in the afternoon?"

Shen Qianqi shook her head, "I live in the third back hall of the Imperial Garden, in the afternoon, you can go there to find me, and I will help you go to ask your aunt for seeds at lunchtime, and now my aunt is not here." ”

"Okay, I'll go find you in the afternoon! At this time, it is almost time for the mother, and I have to rush back to serve. Angel smiled tactfully, to be honest, she tossed all morning, and her stomach was already empty.

Shen Qianqi made a small salute lightly, and then helped Angel deal with things, maybe even Shen Qianqi herself didn't know, she just wanted to make a good relationship and make one more friend, so that there would be one more way out, but after the subsequent catastrophe, fate was completely rewritten because of Angel.

"Little Lord, you're back!" As soon as he entered the door, he saw Bing'er's unhappy face, and looked at Angel in front of him accusatory.

Angel smiled awkwardly, threw her away, went out for a long time, and didn't tell her where she was going, she quickly handed the flowers in her hand to Bing'er, and said pitifully, "I'm hungry!" ”

Angel's breakfast didn't eat much, early in the morning said to go out to visit the garden, until now to come back, presumably but also hungry organs, muttered "see if you dare to leave us next time, a person in the imperial garden, just came, there is no one around even after that, who will arrange for you if you have less food and drink, if something happens to see where you cry!" ”

The more Angel listens, the lower her head is buried, Bing'er is a maid who grew up with her since she was a child, but she is a few months older than her in terms of age, although she is her maid, she has been a sister to Bing'er since she was a child, and after entering the palace, Nalan June asked Bing'er to look at herself carefully, don't let her be as unscrupulous as at home.

But she is the emperor's savior, the eldest grandson Yuanhong will not be difficult for her, Angel herself is a character who has come and goes, Bing'er can't control her at all, now it's okay, I'm comfortable to be counted by Bing'er~~~~(>_
