Large Caladium Leaves

in CCH8 months ago

Hi hive friends, how are you all? At this meeting, I want to share a post about leaves that are so big that you can use them to cover the rain while walking.

These leaves are very wide and large in size, I calculated the size up to 5 cm. These are not ordinary leaves, but these leaves can also be used to raise small fish, then add taro leaves to the fish

the size is very big, isn't it?

I found these leaves in my grandfather's village, but it is estimated that the journey to the forest took around 45 minutes before we could find these leaves. People usually take these leaves to keep jumbo catfish because the presence of these leaves makes the fish healthier. and quality, so the benefits of these leaves are many too, right?
Apart from its benefits, this leaf also has its own unique shape, different from ordinary growing leaves

Well, usually the large leaf flowers of this taro often grow next to banana trees or more often live in swamps because they need water to maintain the fertility of the stem. The leaves of this taro can also be water-resistant even if it is exposed to water. it won't seep in, that's why I said earlier that we can make taro leaves as umbrellas to cover ourselves when it rains.

this is the picture I took of taro leaves, the leaves are very big and beautiful but unfortunately the leaves will wither when autumn comes and then come back looking fresh and bright in spring.

Maybe that's all for now, discussing my post, next time we will meet again, greetings to all hive friends ♥️
