Chistostom the dignified

Ferns are very ancient plants. Currently, there are many species of ferns, among which stands out the majestic chistmouth, also known as the royal osmund.

This plant is rather large, its height usually ranges from one and a half to two and a half meters. The root system is also well developed.

The majestic Chistomouth is a very beautiful plant, but its number is gradually decreasing due to the draining of the wetlands, where it can develop well. Therefore, this fern species is listed in the Red Book.

The area of ​​distribution of the plant is the tropics and subtropics of Eurasia, as well as North America. Also found in the Caucasus and Transcaucasia. The majestic puremouth can grow singly, but it is more common in groups.

Since the fern is rare and requires special growing conditions, in some botanical gardens in Russia, Ukraine, Latvia, Belarus and other countries, specialists are engaged in its cultivation. In this case, moist and acidic soils are used, as well as special fertilizers.

The majestic puremouth is not only an ornamental, but also a valuable medicinal plant. Due to its astringent properties, the fern has been successfully used in some countries for the treatment of rickets and other diseases.

The Japanese have learned to make good coarse fabrics from young leaf hairs and cotton. In the field of plant growing, roots are used to prepare a substrate for growing various indoor plants.
