Mirror grass, a small perennial clump herb of the genus Urticaceae in the family Nettle. The plant is up to 13 cm high; the leaves are clustered at the top of the stem, the upper part of the stem is densely covered with scale-like supporting leaves, the leaf scars are semicircular; the mesophylls are fleshy, nearly round or round-ovate; dioecious, the inflorescence is solitary in the apical leaf axils, the inflorescence is conical, the inflorescence is thick, the male flowers are peduncled, purplish-red; the tepals, obovate, with short horns near the apex; achenes ovate, slightly flattened, skewed, with purplish-red fine warts; flowering period 4~7 months, fruiting period 7~9 months. Because its leaves are very similar to Ulva and smooth, thick and brittle, it has the name of mirror.

The propagation method of mirror grass is generally propagation by ramifications or cuttings. March to May is the best time for dividing and cuttings. Robust plants are prone to adventitious buds at the roots, and some small plants of different sizes grow. When the temperature rises in spring, you can use a sharp blade to cut off the mother plant and plant it again, which is very easy to survive.

Mirror grass is a shade-tolerant plant, but also likes light, can not be strong light, scattered light is appropriate, the light is too strong or too shady, the leaf light is easy to fade or disappear, too shady, the leaf is also easy to thin, the petiole becomes longer and causes the leaf to droop. When the temperature is low in winter, it can be given full sun maintenance. The suitable growth temperature is between 15-20 °C, and the wintering should be kept above 7 °C, otherwise it is easy to fall leaves, and even die of frost.

In summer, when the temperature is above 30°C, growth will be stagnant, and the leaves will fall off easily. In particular, a sudden drop in temperature can cause the leaf stems to change color and fall off partially. If the leaves fall off due to frost damage, but if the stems are not damaged, they can be maintained and managed according to the routine wintering, and the leaves can be released again in the spring of the green year. Do not leave in direct sunlight in summer. It is not suitable for dry environment, and the growth environment should maintain high air humidity, and often spray water and humidification on the growth environment and leaves to make it grow well. Like water and afraid of dampness, can keep the potting soil moist, drought is easy to wilt and sag, severe leaves wrinkles or yellowing, death.

In winter, when the temperature is lower than 12 °C, it is necessary to control the number of watering, otherwise it is perishable, which is not conducive to overwintering. Always keep the potting soil moist, but avoid standing water to prevent leaf discoloration, wilting or even stem rotting. In order to maintain the humidity of the air, you can spray the foliar frequently. During the whole growth period, the pot is mainly kept moist, and it can be relatively dry in winter, but there must be no dryness, otherwise the leaves are easy to wither and black, and water is often sprayed on the leaf surface and around it in the dry season, resulting in a moist small environment.
