Recently, a cactus in Chongzuo, Guangxi Province became popular, 30 years ago, the man got 0 cm cactus from a friend, and it was two, and it was planted outside the yard together.
Since taking root, these two guys have started to leap and bound,After only 10 years, it has grown 0 meters, is as tall as a three-story building, and begins to bloom every year as soon as summer begins.
The pillars of yellow flowers add a touch of tenderness to this rough man.

Some people wonder how tall they can grow if they don't cut all the time.Like Sun Wukong's wishful golden hoop stick, is it like breaking through the sky?
Netizens were also very surprised:
"This is a cactus, it's obviously a cactus tree!"
"This makes me take care of it day after day, and every day is not as good as the fleshy and pothos love of the day~"
"When I saw a flock of chickens under the tree, I instantly understood that this was overnutrition..."
"No wonder it's called a cactus, this is a fairy~!"
"Such a tall cactus can apply for the Guinness Book of Records!"
"It doesn't matter what kind of plant it is, as long as it goes to the south, it will be like a fish in water!"
Some netizens laughed:"Presumably Yao Ming can't grow like this!"
Netizens are also undoubtedly a drama master~
Actually, this guy is not a cactus, but a close relative of a cactus, whose scientific name is Measuring Ruler, let's learn about it together.
measuring scale,It is a woody plant of the cactus family, also called overlord whip, overlord flower, cactus, and is very common in Hainan, Guangxi, Guangdong, Fujian and other places.
It has strong vitality, likes a warm, moist, and sunny living environment, and its stem can extend to several meters or even more than ten meters, hence the name "measuring scale".
Because its appearance is simple and generous, like an upright pillar, green in all seasons, more gentle after flowering, steady and vigorous, and it is a proper "lazy flower".
Therefore, many people plant it indoors in pots to add a different style to their homes.
Many netizens are concerned about how tall the measuring ruler can grow in a year, and if the growth is too fast, won't the family potted plants soon grow to the roof?
Not really.
Under normal circumstances, the measuring scale can grow 50 to 0 cm a year, but the specific height varies depending on the growing environment and maintenance conditions.
The measuring ruler in the above text is planted in Chongzuo, Guangxi, which belongs to the southern Xinjiang of the motherland, with a warm climate, abundant rain, and sufficient sunlight, and any forest grows very fast, and the measuring ruler will not be an exception.
And some netizens noticed that the man planted the measuring ruler outside the small yard and raised many chickens, and the chicken manure is the best fertilizer, which naturally provides sufficient nutrients for the measuring ruler.
在這樣的環境下，量天尺5年長10米也就不足為奇了。
The soil environment is limited, and the temperature, humidity, and light conditions cannot be compared with the outdoor in Guangxi, and it is about 20 cm long a year, which is very good.
Did you know? "Mooren Plant" measures the sky, and it takes a lot of effort to raise it to be beautiful.
The uniform thickness of the plant, the thick green, the full, and the sense of strength are beautiful, and if they can be raised and flowered, it is the icing on the cake.
The flowers are huge, elegant and fragrant, and they mostly open at night, so they are also known as "beauties under the moon".
So how to cultivate the beauty of the measuring scale?
1. Light and temperature
In spring and autumn, place the measuring scale on the balcony, terrace or outdoors and other sunny locations, so that it can fully enjoy the light, and the plant will be fat and full.
If the light is insufficient, the measuring scale will grow long, and this section will become thinner, which will also affect the overall beauty.
In the north, pay attention to shading in summer to avoid sun injuries; In winter, it is necessary to keep warm and avoid freezing.
2. Water and fertilization
Measure the scale to be drought resistant, watering to follow the principle of "rather dry than wet", the potting soil is completely dry before watering, do not store stagnant water.
You can't make a drought just because it's drought tolerant, and it will also affect the symmetry of the plant.
During its vigorous growth period, thin organic fertilizer can be applied once a month to promote the growth of the plant.
4月下旬開始，每次給量天尺澆水時，水裡加適量的磷酸二氫鉀（1:1000），就有可能進行花芽分化，開花漂亮的花朵哦！
