One of the most popular exotic plants is orchidof which tens of thousands of species are known. And although most of the public has in mind that cultivating is very difficult, in reality it is enough to acquire a special substrate, a place in half shade and constant irrigation to take care of them better.
Endemic plants in Mexico
Mexico is a megadiverse country and as such, there are some types of plants that are only in national territory and if not because of human activity they would not exist in No other part of the world.
Christmas Eve, Cempasúchil, the peyote, the biznaga or the agave They are only an example of the enormous variety of vegetables in Mexico, but their care vary according to the type of plant: when it comes to a cactus or succulent, it is best to offer them a very illuminated site and reduce irrigation to a minimum (once every fifteen days), in addition to doing so by immersion.
In the case of the cempasúchil, the flower of the dead requires intense sun to grow, while Christmas Eve prefers a very limited amount of sun and different pruning so that every winter flourish again.
In danger of extinction
In Mexico, some of the most attractive cacti species are the plants that run greater danger of extinction: The biznaga, with a body in the form of a balloon and thorns that give it a unique appearance, runs the risk of disappearing in the coming years, as well as the peyote, a sacred plant for the Wixárikas that produces hallucinogenic effects and is increasingly disappearing faster from its natural habitat.
Plants reproduction
The reproduction of plants is the process by which they create new specimens from the multiplication of a plant. Exist Two types of plant, sexual and asexual reproduction.
The plant sexual reproduction It occurs through the male sexual organs (stamens) and female (pistil) of the plants, which involves flowers and pollination, which fertilize and produce new seeds with the potential to germinate when the temperature and the environment is suitable to give rise to a new plant.
In the case of the asexual reproductionplants use stems, roots and other parts other than the flower to create a new specimen through tubers, stolons, rhizomes or, from human assistance by cutting cuttings and growing them until the root of a new plant is obtained.
