The genus Fugui is also known as Zhusha root, red umbrella, and Bailiangjin. It naturally grows in the shade and moist bushes under the canyon forest or on the hills. It likes warm, cool, moist, neutral sandy soil, likes frequent application of thin fertilizers, avoids concentrated fertilizers, and is heat-resistant. It is a green plant and shrub of the Myrsinaceae family.

1. Shape characteristics:

The plant is 0.4 to 1 meter tall, with symbiotic leaves that are thick and glossy with blunt teeth on the edges. There are two types: rich maple leaves and green leaves. The fruits are produced in summer, with white or light pink spots, arranged in umbels; the fruits are spherical, about the size of lentils, bright red and crystal clear when ripe, and surround the treetops. The fruits produced last year do not fall off, and can bear fruit again next year. A tree can bear fruit 365 days a year, and the red fruit period lasts until September, covering New Year's Day, Spring Festival and the entire early spring. The bunches of red fruits shine with the wings of joy, auspiciousness and wealth, representing the joy of success and a good harvest.

The rich tree likes a humid environment. In spring, it should be placed on a window with sunlight in the morning, noon and evening to keep the soil moist. Water should be sprayed around it and on the leaves several times to increase the air humidity. Pay attention to ventilation in the room. Just start fertilizing after new buds sprout. When the outdoor temperature is stable above 15℃, it can be moved to a semi-shaded balcony or courtyard for shaping. After the climate warms up in late spring, growth and development accelerate, so pay attention to the addition of fertilizer and water.
