I dug a plant from the hillside, put it in a pot, and kept it alive and well without watering it for 3 months.

Plants like green ivy, monstera, and money tree are generally common potted plants in households. If you like them, you can try to grow some at home. If you don’t like them, Huahua suggests that you can go to a nearby hillside or suburb and dig some plants up and plant them yourself.

The plants that Huahua wants to introduce to you today can be found on the hillside, and they are everywhere! The name of this plant sounds a bit mysterious. The scientific name of this plant is: Selaginella. You may not be familiar with the name of this plant, but just by looking at it, you will know what it is!

But it doesn’t matter if you don’t know its scientific name. Its nickname is “Nine-Lives Resurrection Grass”, and friends who often read martial arts novels should be very familiar with it! Back then, Qin Shi Huang once ordered people to look for it, saying that it could prolong life!

Not only does this plant have a special name, it itself is also a bit special. Don’t be fooled by its appearance, but it is extremely drought-resistant! When it is dry, it will activate its own protection system and roll its entire leaves into a ball to ensure that not too much water is wasted. When there is sufficient water, such as when it rains, it will open its leaves. Isn’t it very smart?

The Selaginella plant is evergreen all year round, so it has good ornamental value. Although some people call it a weed, it will create a different kind of scenery when placed on the balcony! Friends who are interested in Selaginella can go to the fields in the suburbs to take a look, dig one up and bring it home, which would be very suitable!

We have mentioned before that when it encounters dryness, it will roll up its leaves to protect itself, so it is relatively easy to grow Selaginella. Many friends often go to work and have no time to take care of plants. If they occasionally forget it once or twice, Selaginella can still cope with it on its own.

Although Selaginella is an evergreen plant, the shape of its leaves is actually a bit special compared to other plants. Many people will ask what this plant is called when they see it for the first time. If you have friends at home who don’t know it, you can introduce it to them.

Although growing flowers is a trivial matter, many friends still want their plants to be different from others. So does the plant that Huahua introduces to you today meet your requirements? Friends who are interested can try it!
