This plant features palmate leaves with 7 to 11 leaflets, which are long and round or obovate in shape. There are various horticultural varieties available, including different flower and foliage types. Due to its popularity among both merchants and the general public, the fortune tree is admired for its elegant appearance, vibrant green leaves, and unique hammer-shaped trunk. After being potted, it makes a great addition to home decor and interior design. As a result, the demand for this plant has been growing rapidly in China's market. During holidays, hotels, restaurants, businesses, and individuals all rush to buy it, hoping for good luck and prosperity.
Key cultivation tips:
1. Temperature: The minimum temperature during winter should be between 16-18°C. If the temperature drops below this range, the leaves may turn yellow and fall off. Below 10°C, the plant can easily die.
2. Light: The fortune tree thrives in full sunlight, especially in regions like Hainan Island. However, it is quite resilient and can survive indoors in low-light conditions for 2-4 weeks. After that, it’s best to move it to a brighter location to maintain its health and appearance.
3. Water: During the high-temperature growth period, ensure adequate watering. While it has strong drought tolerance and can survive without water for several days, avoid letting water sit in the pot. In winter, reduce the frequency of watering to prevent root rot.
4. Humidity: During the growing season, the plant prefers higher humidity levels. You can mist the leaves occasionally with a fine spray to help maintain moisture around the foliage.
5. Repotting: Repot the plant in spring according to its growth needs. Choose a pot that allows enough space for the roots to expand without being too large.
A laboratory overhead stirrer is a device used in chemistry and biology laboratories to mix and stir liquids. It consists of a motor that drives a rotating shaft with a stirring blade or paddle attached to the end. The motor is mounted on a stand that is suspended from the ceiling, hence the name "overhead stirrer". The stirring speed can be adjusted by the user, and the device can be programmed to run for a set period of time. Overhead stirrers are commonly used in chemical synthesis, cell culture, and microbiology applications. They are particularly useful for mixing viscous liquids, suspensions, and emulsions, and for maintaining a consistent mixing speed over long periods of time.
