The roots of the "weeds" that are not worth giving away are more expensive than pork. Don't step on them when you see them.

Huahua feels that everyone should be like these little weeds and have an unyielding spirit so that they can better cope with the hardships brought by life! The protagonist of Huahua’s article today is one of these inconspicuous little weeds, called: Scutellaria baicalensis.

In fact, when talking about Scutellaria baicalensis, everyone may not know what it is, but if Huahua says it is Dogtail Grass, everyone will understand. The vitality of this dogtail grass is really tenacious. It does not need watering or fertilization. It grows and withers every year, and withers and grows again. It is really tenacious! When she was a child, Huahua still remembers using dogtail flowers to make a wreath to wear on her head!

Don’t underestimate this inconspicuous little weed even though it’s everywhere, its roots actually have certain medicinal effects in traditional Chinese medicine! Huahua heard that the root is called: Imperata root. Imperata root has a relatively good effect in alleviating vomiting, coughing and acute nephritis.

Generally speaking, people will choose to dig out the impassa roots in autumn and winter and then dry them. The price after drying is really not cheap, 20 yuan per catty! It’s more expensive than pork! Precisely because people are optimistic about the market value of Imperata root, many people have already started to artificially cultivate Imperata root.

Although Imperata root has good medicinal effects, it is not difficult to cultivate it. Imperata root has a very strong adaptability. It is not only drought-resistant, but also barren-resistant. That is, it can survive well without fertilizer. Its growth speed is beyond many people's imagination.

Although Imperata cylindrica is drought-resistant, it is a plant that prefers a humid environment. When at grandma's house, Huahua often saw it by the river or stream, so it is best to ensure that the soil is moist when raising it. Moist soil is a good thing for the roots of Imperata, but don't water too hard. After all, excessive watering may cause root rot.

In terms of light, Imperata root does not require much, because it is very shade-tolerant. It only needs to be exposed to the sun when you have nothing to do, and it doesn't matter if you forget to expose it.

Today Huahua introduced to you the dogtail grass and Imperata cylindrica. Do you have a better understanding of it? Huahua discovered that many inconspicuous weeds actually have certain medicinal effects. This tells us a truth: no matter how insignificant we are, "God has given us talents to be useful", and I hope everyone can find their own shining points!
