1. Morphological characteristics: Datura is a herbaceous or semi-shrubby plant with a height between 0.5 and 1.5 meters. The stem is very thick, cylindrical in shape, and light green or purple in color. Its leaves are broadly ovate, with a sharp tip and wavy edges. The flowers are solitary, with a funnel-shaped corolla, green in the lower part and white or lavender in the upper part. The fruit is a capsule, oval in shape, with hard thorns on the surface.

2. Growth and distribution: Datura is distributed all over the world and can be found in all provinces and regions of my country. It usually grows on roadsides or grass.

3. Reproduction method: Datura is generally propagated by seeds, usually sown in mid-to-late April. Choose a sunny place, apply enough base fertilizer, plow the soil deeply to bury the fertilizer, then sow the seeds on the soil surface, cover with a layer of fine soil, then spread a layer of straw, and use a spray bottle to spray water to keep it moist. Usually seedlings will emerge in half a month, and be ready for transplanting when 4-6 true leaves grow.

4. Daily maintenance: Datura is suitable for growing in places with sufficient light. It has strong adaptability and is not demanding on the soil, but it will be better if it grows in soil rich in organic matter. When watering, control the amount of water and do not let the soil be too dry or too wet. Pay attention to applying nitrogen fertilizer during the seedling stage, supplement phosphorus and potassium fertilizers before flowering, and apply compound fertilizers during the fruiting stage.
