Such a beautiful flower can actually detoxify and cure diseases
Where the east wind awakens, flowers gather together. Not afraid of the four seasons, only to keep spring forever. The east wind blows and everything revives, and the vinca flowers bloom. Gather together to welcome the arrival of spring.
Vinca has the characteristics of blooming in all seasons, and the flowering period is particularly long and synchronized with the fruiting period and relatively consistent. The "purpose" of vinca blooming all year round is to make spring "stay" in the world for a long time.
Wang Anshi, a poet of the Northern Song Dynasty in ancient China, said in his poem "Vinca": Don't love the flowers that bloom in an instant, the four seasons are good, and the vinca is the biological characteristics of "blooming in all seasons".
One branch withers and another branch is busy, since the spring workers are not idle. Even if the peony is called the most beautiful, it will be exhausted in the end.
Zhu Shuzhen, a poet of the Song Dynasty in ancient China, compared "Vinca" with the peony, saying that although the peony is beautiful and "absolutely beautiful", its flowering period is very short and it will wither quickly. As for the "Cardiophora rosea", it blooms one after another, and its flowering period is much longer than that of peony.
In the colorful plant world, vinca rosea has won people's love and attention with its unique appearance and charm.
Vinca rosea not only symbolizes happy memories and eternal youth, but also shows its rich connotation and economic value in the field of horticultural cultivation, biological characteristics and medicinal value.

In terms of cultivation, Catharanthus roseus is mostly propagated by sowing, but can also be propagated by cuttings. However, the growth of seedlings propagated by cuttings is not as strong as that of seedlings grown from seeds.
Catharanthus roseus prefers a warm, slightly dry and sunny environment. It is not cold-resistant or waterlogged, and is afraid of alkaline loam. It is suitable for growing in fertile and well-drained soil. Before planting, the soil should be deeply plowed and weeds and stones should be removed. If the soil is poor, organic fertilizer can be added in moderation.

Vinpocetine powder, derived from the vinca alkaloid vinblastine, is a well-known medicinal material for the study of cerebrovascular diseases. Vinpocetine (ethyl apovinblastine) is a synthetic derivative of the vinca alkaloid vinblastine, the difference being that the hydroxyl group has been removed. Vinpocetine is extracted from the seeds of the African periwinkle or the leaves of the Vinca minor (Catharanthus roseus). For more than three decades, many Asian and European countries have been using vinpocetine to treat cerebrovascular diseases such as stroke and dementia. In recent years, this drug has become a best-seller for many suppliers.
