Is fresh Queen Flower poisonous?

Dried Queen of the Night is available in all seasons, but fresh Queen of the Night is only available in early autumn. Nowadays, many people in society say that fresh Queen of the Night is poisonous. In fact, it is not true. Queen of the Night has certain medicinal value. The queen flower, also known as the devil lotus and sword flower, is a fleshy climbing herb. The fruit is oblong and red when ripe. It can be used for viewing or eating. The following is a detailed introduction to the cultivation methods of the Queen Flower.

Breeding and cultivation: Prefers warm, dry and sunny environment. Not cold-resistant, but resistant to high temperatures. It prefers well-drained, loose sandy loam. You can choose a clay pot with good air permeability for the pot, and make a drainage layer with broken tiles at the bottom of the pot to facilitate drainage. The temperature in winter should not be lower than 10℃.

For potted plants or ground planting in the south, the soil needs to be well-drained and the whole plant should be pruned to maintain a beautiful shape. The giant whip is a fleshy, succulent plant that is relatively drought-resistant. In the hot summer weather, you can water more often to keep the soil moist, but on rainy days you should pour out the accumulated water in the pot in time. If there is too much water in the pot, the roots will rot easily, which will cause the whole plant to die. In spring and autumn, we should follow the principle of seeing dryness and wetness. Generally, fertilize 1-2 times. Appropriate shade should be provided in midsummer. No fertilizer is generally applied in late autumn and winter. When the temperature drops below 10℃ in winter, the leaves turn yellow and fall off, entering a dormant period. At this time, watering must be strictly controlled, otherwise the low temperature and high humidity will cause the roots of the plant to rot. It should be moved indoors for maintenance in winter.

The king whip likes light. It is best to place it in a sunny place indoors in winter so that it can get sufficient light. It needs appropriate shade at noon in summer to avoid direct sunlight. It does not need shade in spring and autumn and can accept direct sunlight. It should be moved indoors when the temperature is below 15℃ in autumn. The room temperature should not be lower than 10℃ in winter. Too low room temperature can easily cause leaves to fall off and main stems to rot. When the weather is clear and the temperature is high, you can open the doors and windows for ventilation. You can move out of the house only after the temperature stabilizes after the spring Qingshi Festival.

Pest and disease control: Sometimes stem rot occurs and can be sprayed with 1000 times diluted 10% antibacterial agent 401 acetic acid solution. The pests include scale insects, which can be killed by spraying with 1000 times diluted 50% DDT emulsion.
