Complete list of varieties of ground roots

Big Leaf Phoenix

The most common variety, bar none. The leaves, petioles and stems are all light green. Exposure to the sun can cause irregular pink areas to appear on the leaves. They are relatively active in vegetative reproduction. Usually after three pairs of true leaves, obvious bud seats will begin to appear, and vegetative reproduction will begin.

Small-leaved Phoenix

A more common variety, with opposite, smaller leaves, thicker fleshy leaves, green leaves with dark green spots on the front and back, and stems that are pink with a hint of green. With proper management it can grow very cute. This variety already has a stable variegated variant.

Stick-leaved Phoenix

A more common variety, with alternate leaves in the shape of clubs. The whole plant has a more obvious white frost, so it is pale green. There are dark green spots on the leaf surface and back, and the stems are usually pale dark green.

Due to the leaf shape, there are fewer bud seats on the leaves, but the buds sprout very actively and can grow very tall, and there is no way to stop.

Tiger Phoenix

A more common variety, often confused with big-leaf, with opposite leaves. Tiger-striped leaves are sword-shaped, dark green on the surface, and have dark purple tiger-skin patterns on the back. They can grow very tall and are very easy to take root.

Phoenix leaf curl

This is a wild species, mostly distributed in the southwest of China. The leaves are opposite each other with an odd number of double leaves. The leaves are flat with distinct veins. The leaves of well-growing plants will curl into a spoon (teaspoon, spoon) shape.

The leaves are light green and oval, with a circle of purple on the edge, the petioles are purple, and the stems are green. This phoenix is ​​not active in vegetative reproduction and will not produce small buds like lace. When the leaves fall off or the roots of the plant wither, aerial roots will sprout from the leaves and petioles to find the soil, and the plant will grow again after the roots are firmly established.

Jade bell

This is a very popular variety with opposite leaves. The leaves are light green with a circle of pink and purple on the edges. The whole plant has a noticeable white frost. Its gardening name is also called "Butterfly Dance". The plant is not active in vegetative reproduction and will only produce leaf buds when the leaves fall or the roots wither. It has no bud seats and has stable variegated variants.

White Princess Dance

It has basically the same habits as the Jade Bell above. What is more special is that the leaves of White Princess Dance do not have blunt teeth, so when it sprouts, it does so in a very strange way, with a small bag on the edge of the leaf, which then slowly turns into a small bud.

Pearl in the palm

A relatively rare variety, with opposite leaves and dark purple dotted lines on both sides of the leaves. The whole plant will be covered with thick white frost. My tongue identified the sweet taste as starch. After wiping off the white powder, the leaves turned dark green. Although the leaves are large, each leaf has only a few bud seats at the tip. The name "Pearl in the Palm" is derived from the appearance of "a large leaf supporting several small seedlings".
