1. Plant introductionPoppy is an annual herbaceous plant of the genus Papaver in the family Papaveraceae. It has bristles on its surface, a relatively upright stem, and a height of about 25-90 cm. There are many branches on the stem, which are covered with light yellow hairs. The leaves are alternate, lanceolate in shape, and pinnately divided, with a length between 3-15 cm. Most of its flowers are solitary, with 4 round petals, purple-red in color with dark purple spots. 2. Growth habitsPoppy grows best in warm places with temperatures between 5-25℃, and the plant grows faster. If the temperature is too high, its flowering period will be shortened. It has good cold resistance, and low temperatures at night are more conducive to its growth. The plant prefers an environment with sufficient light and is usually grown on the south balcony indoors. It grows more luxuriantly in well-drained, loose and fertile sandy loam. Since it is not resistant to transplanting, do not remove it from the pot and repot it easily. 3. Comparison of similar speciesPoppy and corn poppy belong to the same family and genus, but they are indeed two different plants with quite big differences. From the outside, the former has hairy plants, many branches, and relatively thin leaves, which looks very delicate. The latter has a smooth plant, a very thick stem, fewer branches, and thicker leaves. In addition, the flowers of the two are different. The former has a diameter of 5-6 cm and thin petals, while the latter has a diameter of up to 10 cm and very thick petals. Moreover, the former does not contain addictive substances and can be grown with confidence. 4. Pictures of poppy |
