In today's Flora Friday video, we join EcoTraining Instructor Jasper Visser while he tells us more about Wild Cotton. This shrub is endemic to South Africa and occurs mainly in Mpumalanga, Limpopo and Kwazulu Natal.
Did you know that the Milkweed plant is more closely related to Wild Cotton than the Cotton we use in the commercial industry?
Jasper explains the various and incredible medicinal uses of Wild Cotton. It will blow your mind.
Are you stuck in the bush after dark? Don't worry. You can also use Wild Cotton to make a fire.
Do you have a favourite tree or flower that you would like us to feature in our next episode of Flora Fridays? Drop us a comment below; we would love to hear your suggestions.
