簡介 Description

石杉屬的多年生草本,原產東亞熱帶至亞熱地區;臺灣亦有分佈,常著生於潮濕森林的樹幹上。具有披針形的營養葉,多回二叉分枝,莖幼時直立或向上生長,老莖則下垂。與垂枝石松比較兩者差異在小葉形態、長短大小。垂枝石松小葉基部略呈截形,本種圓形;垂枝石松營養葉可達1cm以上,本種營養葉小於1cm。

A perennial herb in the genus Huperzia, native to tropical and subtropical regions in east Asia, also distributed in Taiwan and often grown on tree trunks of moist forests. Vegetative fronds lanceolate, dichotomously branched, stems erect or growing upright when young, while old stems drooping. The major differences between this variety Huperzia phlegmaria (L.) Rothm. are leaflet morphology, length and size. The leaflet base of the latter one is slightly truncated while this variety is round; the vegetative leaf of the latter one is over 1 cm, longer than that of this species.

栽培 Cultivation

於半日照溫暖環境下生長良好,一般採用垂吊式種植或附生在蛇木板,對空氣濕度及通風要求比較高。環境悶熱潮濕的時候需要注意是否發生爛根的情形。

It grows well in a partial-sun and warm environment, often planted on a hanging basket or epiphytic on a mounted tree fern board. Highly demanding on the air humidity and ventilation, the root is easily rotten in sultry and humid weather.
