What kind of plant is dog club and how to grow it?

1. What is the plant?

Dog club is actually another name for the male inflorescence of the paper mulberry tree, and its scientific name is "paper mulberry spike". It is relatively stout, between 3-8cm in length, with lanceolate bracts. It is mostly light yellow or light green, and its shape is similar to that of a caterpillar. It mostly grows on branches, with 5-8 roots on each branch. It has certain nutritional value and can be eaten.

2. Maintenance methods

1. Flower soil: It is not picky about the soil and can grow in poor and dry soil. So when maintaining it, just use ordinary culture soil.

2. Light: It likes light very much. When caring for it, it must be exposed to soft sunlight for a certain period of time every day, otherwise it may grow poorly. But be careful, when the light is too strong, provide shade to prevent it from being burned by the light.

3. Watering: It grows fast and requires more water during the growth period. When caring for it, you can water it frequently, but do not allow water to accumulate in the soil, otherwise it may grow poorly due to waterlogging.

4. Fertilization: During maintenance, you don’t need to apply fertilizer frequently. If the fertility of the flower soil is high enough, you don't even need to apply fertilizer. But if you want it to grow faster, it is best to apply nitrogen fertilizer once a month.
