3. intraperitoneal injection of Polygonatum odoratum extract can enhance the phagocytic function of peritoneal macrophages in burned mice, increase the level of serum hemolysin antibody and improve the proliferative response of spleen lymphocytes to ConA.

Cultivation and protection:

The aboveground stems of Polygonatum odoratum are single and unbranched, and the stems and leaves are smooth and green; Underground tubers are developed, dark in color and uneven in surface. In early spring, drooping white flowers bloom from the axils of leaves. At this time, there was too much water supply, and the buds fell off before they opened. The use of soft soil is beneficial to tuber propagation. Although tubers have the ability to retain water, when the stems and leaves on the ground wither in winter, the soil should be kept slightly moist so that it can grow normally in the next year.

Materials and reproduction:

Large underground stems should be divided, as long as each piece has obvious bud points, it can survive. After cutting, put it in a ventilated place for an hour or two, and then implant it into the basin when the incision is dry. Don't bury it too deep when planting, just let the upper part of the tuber be flush with the soil surface.
