Indoor vines - home care. Growing vines and climbing plants. Description, types. Photo

Of all the ornamental grapes, the most popular are the maiden trike, coastal and grapevine. All of these vines are very effective and are excellent plants for vertical landscaping.

Ornamental grape varieties can be grown against building walls, entwined or arches, pergolas and gazebos. If you strengthen such crops on trellises, they will make a beautiful hedge.

How to propagate and care for decorative grapes of different types is described in detail in this article.

Advantages and features of growing vines

Before planting vines, it should be borne in mind that the lashes of an adult plant will be very heavy, so you need to take care of building a solid support in advance. To create a structure, you will need a crate made of wood, on which a polymer mesh with large cells is attached. The support is then placed close to the wall. Some plants are grown on pergolas. The advantage of decorative vines is that they can be used to:

• create vertical landscaping;
• allocate recreation areas on the site;
• hide unsightly facades of summer cottages.

All this cannot be achieved with the help of any other plants. In addition, the vines drown out the noise coming from the street., give shade and coolness, serve as a filter that cleans the air from dust and gas pollution, protects from the wind, and strengthens the slopes. Annual climbing plants look beautiful but require annual planting.

Perennial species are suitable for those who spend a lot of time in a country house. In the early years, it will take a lot of work to create a decorative green wall. or a fence entwined with ivy, but then all that remains is to enjoy the picturesque picture. And how good are clematis or kampsis at the time of flowering. The gazebos and terraces entwined with them acquire a bright, unique look.

Reviews of the healing vine

Those who took Caucasian Dioscorea noted its intense healing effect on the body. Consumers noticed that after a couple of days of taking them, their well-being improved and the manifestations of certain diseases decreased.

Some reviews:

Evgeny Nikolaevich: “For the third year now I have been treating myself with the root of Caucasian Dioscorea. I had a stroke, I wanted to recover faster and get back to business. I drink vodka tincture for 15 days. I do it myself. It supports my heart and gives energy. "

Valentina: “Due to the instability of the pituitary gland, hormonal imbalance appeared. On the advice of a friend, I bought chopped dioscorea root at the pharmacy, filled it with honey and insisted for a week. I ate a teaspoon of this drug for a whole month. The test results were amazing. Still, this miracle plant helps! ".

Galina: “I am too emotional. And then one day, after a powerful stress, the pressure began to jump and insomnia appeared. I began to take dioscorea tincture. Healthy sleep returned, blood pressure returned to normal. "

Vasily: “I have been overweight for a long time. Therefore, atherosclerosis appeared. I learned that Dioscorea Caucasian fights with cholesterol plaques. I decided to try to clean the vessels. Analyzes showed improvement. I will continue my treatment. "

Most popular types

Perennial climbing plants can be completely different.According to the main characteristics, experts divide the vines into herbaceous and woody. These crops endure wintering in absolutely different ways.

Woody species retain their shoots, shedding only foliage. In herbaceous varieties, the lashes dry up for the winter, and in the spring the plants release new young shoots.

Perennial vines for Siberia and the Urals, where there are extremely low temperatures, must have a developed root system and frost resistance. The following popular crops can be included in this list:

1. Siberian prince is a winter-hardy garden shrub with woody shoots up to 3 m long. It blooms with large single bells. By winter, the aerial part of the vine dies off, in the spring the shoots grow back. She doesn't need shelter.
2. Actinidia kolomikta (the second name is "Amur gooseberry") is a tree-like perennial with large leaves and fragrant white flowers. The plant can withstand frosts down to -40 ° C. Young shoots for the winter are covered with sawdust or dry leaves.
3. Schisandra chinensis is another type of woody shrub. Edible fruits collected in a brush give it a special decorative effect. Schizandra berries have healing properties and are actively used in folk medicine. The leaves are narrow, elliptical in shape. The plant does not like drafts, so it will grow better near buildings. Shoots for the winter are removed from the supports, laid on the ground and covered.

In the middle lane, the choice of climbing shrubs for planting is much wider.

Among the most popular in the Moscow region are perennial vines for the garden, which are known to everyone:

1. The climbing rose is a blooming liana that enjoys the well-deserved love of gardeners. The rose begins to bloom in early summer and ends flowering with the arrival of frost.
2. Common ivy is an evergreen shrub that retains its decorative effect even in winter. Scourges reach a length of 20-30 m. Leaves are shiny, leathery, bright green. Unpretentious in care, hardy.
3. Clematis is a spectacular flowering plant. There are large-flowered and small-flowered varieties. You can choose according to the flowering period. Requires good lighting and root cover for the winter.
4. Bittersweet nightshade is a semi-woody plant also called "potato vine". Scourges grow up to 3 m in length. It is interesting that nightshade leaves on one bush differ in their shape and size. Flowers and ripe berries give a special decorative effect to the shrub.

In regions with a temperate continental climate, wisteria, kampsis, climbing hydrangea, wild grapes, honeysuckle also grow well. When selecting a crop, its varietal characteristics and requirements for the planting site are taken into account.

On his personal plot, each owner places what he sees fit. One admires low-growing plants, and someone seeks to decorate a large area by planting vines. Twine shrubs can be annuals or centenarians.

Climbing plants of one year of life differ from their counterparts only in that they have long herbaceous stems that almost do not give side whiskers. Representatives of this species love loose, airy soil, saturated with nutrients. They grow well in bright sunlight and do not climb up without an auxiliary grid.

The most common and easiest to grow are morning glory and passionflower.

A perennial individual does not require special care, it is located on any soil and is distinguished by its rapid growth. Several varieties can be distinguished:

How to give wisteria the shape of a standard tree

The liana without support will immediately lie on the ground, so the main task of the gardener is to develop the trunk of the plant. This will take at least 4 years. When forming a standard tree, make sure that the wisteria tends upward.While you are creating the skeleton for the future plant, do not allow it to bloom.

Rules for the formation of a standard tree:

1. Identify the main trunk and eliminate any unwanted shoots.
2. Limit the dramatic development of the vine by pruning.
3. Maintain the growth of the main trunk. Form a crown out of the side shoots and maintain with regular pruning.
4. Prune the lower branches as the vines grow.
5. Make a secure collapsible support for the tree. While the wisteria is young, the trunk may deform. The support will prevent this.

Frost resistant

There are a number of bindweed that are not afraid of even severe frosts. They do not have to be covered with materials at hand. If the temperature drops to an extreme level, then the most severe damage for these classes will be freezing of annual shoots. Striking representatives of the type are:

1. Campsis;
2. Garden grapes;
3. Wild (girlish) grapes;
4. Actinidia;
5. Curly nightshade bittersweet.

Campsis characterized by rapid growth of stems. The first lashes are capable of stretching up to 10 m. After 5 years from the moment of planting, the basal stepchildren begin to actively start up. The stems are heavy, a solid foundation is required. The shrub climbs the wall perfectly with the help of air roots.

The breed winters well, but the rest period is quite long - it wakes up later than everyone else. It gets along well on the southern sides, where there is an abundance of bright light. The leaves are 10-12 cm long and contain 9-11 small petals. It blooms from June to the end of August, with saturated red or orange elongated tubular flowers, collected in bunches of up to 15 pieces.

Campsis, general view

Campsis does not require special care. The only thing is that it is periodically cut out so that continuous thickets do not form.

Grapes in most cases, they are planted to get a harvest, but also to decorate a secluded place. The lash does not differ in gorgeous flowering, but it gives tasty berries, originally hanging from the gazebo. It stretches well, both in sunny areas and in partial shade. Propagated by cuttings or seedlings.

A trellis is absolutely necessary for breeding amber berries. It is distinguished by a massive trunk and fast-growing branches. Attached to the support with tenacious antennae.

The plant is unpretentious in care, but requires annual pruning to ensure a large growth of sprouts and an abundance of fruits. In the summer months, water should be sparingly; excessive moisture will cause the roots to rot.

In cold periods, it is necessary to cover, as the one-year-old growth tends to freeze. It is recommended to remove from the supports, cover with oilcloth or make covering tunnels.

Wild (maiden) grapes completely immune to frost. The first leaves appear in April, subject to warm weather. Stems are woody, not heavy. They are woven over a fence, net, wall or tree. With a successful location in a flower bed, with constant feeding, it grows and gains weight. If you sharpen it in a container, the green plumage will cease to be spready, it will become small.

In November, the color of the leaves changes from dark green to cherry tones. The flowers are inconspicuous, almost invisible, but in September small clusters appear in the crown.

If the stepson was broken or damaged, then he dries up. In early April, a new branch grows from the base. Feels good both in the baking sun and in partial shade.

Hygiene is important, no matter the size

Despite the numerous varieties of vines, like all other indoor plants, care is needed, which includes periodic inspection of the leaves (on both sides) and shoots, spraying, showering, bathing, cleaning, airing the room, avoiding drafts. Any deviations - a dark spot, a change in color, lethargy lead to the death of the plant.

Any deviations - a dark spot, a change in color, lethargy lead to the death of the plant

Beautiful vines

The next distinct class is beautiful vines. They pride themselves on bright, large flowers. This group is represented by the following specimens of wildlife:

Clematis. The main distinguishing feature is that it clings to the fabric mesh with leaves. Quite moody and does not always get along in the planted place. Requires constant watering and rays of the sun. After autumn, the leaf cover is thrown off, exposing its thin trunks. It differs not only in color, but also in the size of the flowers.

The most popular types:

1. Clematis Jacques - grows in length up to 3-4 m, flowers do not stand out aromas. The colors of the umbrellas are the entire palette of purple. Before frost or after the foliage is thrown off, the shoots are cut to the root. Only 2-3 strong processes are left, on which there are no more than 3 buds.
2. Clematis Integrifolia - compact, up to 1.5 meters high. The opened buds look like bells. The difference is that it is not susceptible to disease.

   

Wisteria is distinguished by a very massive trunk. If it wraps around the gazebo, then it is no longer possible to remove it without damaging it. The leaves are elongated, the flowers are chic, voluminous, yellow or purple tones. Does not get along where drafts dominate.

The support is made for the entire period of life - preferably metal or wood.

The tree variety requires pruning for 2/3 of year-old shoots 2 times a year - this stimulates the lateral buds. This is how the tree branches even more.

Climbing rose - one of the most beautiful representatives of the breed. Abundant flowering begins in early June and ends in late October. The inflorescences are very delicate both in color and to the touch. In March, partial pruning of the stepsons and stems that have died out during the dormant time is necessary, and once every 3 years - a major pruning in order to thin out the branches.

It develops best on a wooden base, since on a metal base it is more likely to freeze out. For a period of rest, the branches are wrapped in foil, and the ground around is covered with sawdust.

Honeysuckle - afraid of frost. Freezing of sprouts is possible, therefore, like a rose, honeysuckle is removed from the rack and covered with a special material.

Pruning every fall - extra stepchildren are removed so that light comes to the inner stems, and old shoots, upper tiers and branches that spread along the ground are cut out.

The shrub blooms in the evening, spreading an unforgettable scent. The soil is suitable for clay and sandy substrates.

Honeysuckle curly Telman

The following subspecies of honeysuckle are distinguished:

1. Honeysuckle - branches up to 4 meters in length. Begins to delight with buds from late May to early July. After it is covered with inedible berries. In September, the greens turn yellow.
2. Brown - suitable for compact areas, not spreading. It stands out for its orange flowering.
3. Gerald - the only one from the class is not afraid of frost. The vegetation is evergreen - with frost it curls and turns a little yellow at the edges. Flowers of white tide, changing color by the time of wilting to an orange tone.
4. Serotin - has an interesting color of leaves: wine or carrot tone. Any touch of the trunk or buds gives off a pronounced linden scent. Be sure to cover.

Fluffy calistegia blooms with delicate pink umbrellas. A real predator - wins a place in the garden, while crushing all crops. Differs in herbaceous stems, which die off at the end of November, and new ones grow in spring.

Loves abundant watering and mineral fertilizers. If the minimum requirements are met, then it pleases with a lush crown with abundant buds.

Stalked hydrangea - Sprawling hydrangia up to 20-25 meters. It is woven along a support with air suction cups or spread along the ground. It opens with delicate pink petals in June.The vegetation is not large - 8 cm in length. Quite whimsical - to find a successful site, you need to work hard. Fertilizing with mineral fertilizers contributes to even greater growth. Afraid of frost - it is advisable to cover.

Thus, unlike other varieties, beautiful vines are quite capricious both in terms of care and location. If you do not find the right soil or watering, the specimen can die in the shortest possible time.

Self-preparation of the "root of youth"

The rhizomes of the plant are of medicinal value. They begin to be harvested after the seeds have ripened. The growing season begins in the second half of April and ends in late autumn.

You cannot dig up roots in the same places every year. Since the plant takes a long time to recover. Note! The most effective roots are more than 25 years old. Clean the rhizomes from excess stems, dirt, rot. Cut into small pieces no more than 4 mm thick. Dry the resulting raw material in a dark place. Store dried roots in cloth bags in a cool, dry place.

Shade-loving

The last type of breed are shade-loving, but by no means inconspicuous individuals:

Ivy - this is a beautiful carpet made of leaves that are almost identical in appearance and appearance. Never blooms. It freezes and dies easily, also burns out under midday rays in summer.

It is used for decorating not only walls, but also areas for lawns. If it is necessary for ivy to braid the wall, then in the early years it is helped a little - they pull the threads and guide the branches. Cut out only if the overgrown bush spoils the design.

For the winter, the greens do not throw off, and in March there is a process of replacement - the young grow up, the old ones fall off imperceptibly.

Schisandra Chinese Is a whip that exudes lemon scent from every touch. In October, the leaves turn golden with an orange tint. After the leaves fall, scarlet berries remain on the lashes. Compotes, jams, wine are made from the fruits of lemongrass, and infusions and teas are made from the leaves.

In cold weather, it is better to cover the fragile lemongrass - it can get stressed and refuse to bloom and, as a result, bear fruit.

Woodworm or red bubble - after warm days, the foliage is covered with a lemon tone with a golden tint. If you make a composition from wild grapes and red bubble, you get a beautiful picture. With the end of warm days, inedible fruits of red beads appear on the lashes. Outwardly, it resembles a mountain ash, only it weaves along a wall or support.

Based on the name, it has the ability to strangle a small tree, but a massive tree is not able to destroy.

Hop - has dark green large leaves. Before the frost, the whips die off. They can be removed or left - new shoots will crawl up along them. They cling to the support with hooks - not only the stems, but also the vegetation is covered with a rough surface, prickly to the touch. It blooms inconspicuously in July - August.

Micro and macronutrients are equally important

For growth and a beautiful appearance, like all house plants, vines need regular feeding. Decorative vines are fed on average once every 2 weeks, and during the growth period, the frequency of feeding increases.

For growth and a beautiful appearance, like all house plants, vines need regular feeding.

If the plant was planted quite recently, do not rush to feed it, give time to adapt and strengthen the roots. Fertilizer for vines is chosen in such a way that micro- and macroelements are right for your “pet”. The complex feeding is optimally selected, which includes: calcium - necessary for the growth and formation of shoots, magnesium - is responsible for the uniform color of the leaves, iron - improves the quality of the leaves, as well as phosphorus, potassium, nitrogen, manganese, sulfur, copper, etc.It can be ammonium nitrate, urea or liquid fertilizer, which can be found in specialized stores, and fertilizer prepared independently and diluted in water will be a good feeding for indoor plants.

If your choice fell on liquid fertilizer, dilute it according to the instructions, otherwise, with a high concentration of the substance, the vine may burn the root system. It is recommended to insist well before using self-prepared dressings (bird droppings, mullein, tops of cultivated plants, compost at a rate of 1: 2, where 1 is dry matter and 2 is water, mix well, cover and leave for 3-4 days, dilute the resulting slurry with water in a ratio of 1: 4 and water the soil).

If you want a lush bloom

The video below shows a detailed overview of the vines, which will not only allow you to plant trees on any vertical or fantasy surface, but will also delight you with lush flowering.

Climbing plants are an excellent decor for a summer cottage. They can decorate the wall of a house, a fence or a gazebo. Even the most nondescript territory will sparkle with bright colors if you use perennial vines in the design for a summer residence.

Diseases and pests

Almost all diseases that indoor vines can get sick are caused by the fact that the water balance is disturbed.

When the liana weakens before our eyes, its leaves fall, most likely, its roots began to rot. This happens with too much watering, when the water in the pot constantly stagnates. Another reason is the change in pH when the soil becomes too acidic for the plant.

But the leaves can also fall off due to the fact that the air in the apartment is too dry. In this case, the leaves will dry out before falling off.

Lack of moisture in the air often leads to the fact that pests begin to start in the plant. That could be aphids, scale insects. Spider mites also appear frequently. Removing these pests is not easy. You will have to spray with insecticides several times. Excellent drugs for this are Fitoverm and Actellik. Therefore, it is best to avoid the development of vines disease than to eliminate its consequences later.

If you follow all the recommendations for caring for vines, you can grow an excellent climbing plant, which will become a decoration of an apartment and a real pride of any florist.

Vines for a summer residence: how to use climbing perennials and annuals in landscape design

Climbing plants are of 2 types: annual and perennial. Annuals will delight the eye for one season, in the fall the shoots are pulled out, and in the spring the seeds are planted again. Perennial species are frost-resistant, growing in one place for several years. They do not develop as actively as annuals, and often reveal all their beauty only after 2 - 3 years.

Currently, ornamental plants are presented in a wide range. The area of ​​their application is also varied:

• decoration of vertical surfaces of walls, gazebos, verandas, fences;
• creating a bright, beautiful composition in empty spaces;
• hedge to highlight different areas on the site;
• protection from direct sunlight for shade-loving crops and in recreational areas;
• attraction of insects - pollinators in the garden.

Annual vines often used to decorate new areas. Until the territory is completely landscaped, and trees and shrubs are low, climbing shoots allow filling the void and hiding unsightly places. To do this, it is enough to install arches or trellises - trellises and send beautiful vines along them.

Annuals are unpretentious in care and make it possible to create a new composition every year. Their advantages also include the abundance of flowering. By the middle of summer, decorative vines cover the supports with a dense flowering carpet and wither only with the onset of frost.

Of the annual climbing plants, the most popular are: morning glory, sweet peas, climbing cobea, winged tunbergia, fiery red beans.

Perennials most often they have stiff shoots, which require strong supports. In some species, the stem is herbaceous. Each winter they die off, and in the spring they give young shoots.

Perennial ornamental plants do not need to be planted every year, this is their main advantage over annuals. Many of them, in addition to beautiful flowers and foliage, have edible fruits, such as honeysuckle, actinidia, black nightshade, tladiant.

Basically, perennials are planted near the house, on the veranda or near the gazebo. They provide shade, protect from dust, wind, enrich the air with oxygen.

Choosing perennial vines for the garden

Depending on what exactly the plant attracts attention, decorative vines are divided into 2 types:

• flowering - have particularly prominent flowers;
• decorative - deciduous - have beautiful foliage against the background of nondescript flowers.

The best flowering vines

Large-flowered climbing roses (Climing) are presented in several varieties. They stand out with large flowers ranging in size from 5 to 15 cm, most often they are collected in inflorescences of 5 pieces. The stems are tough, erect, 3 - 4 m high. All shoots are in bloom, therefore klaimings are considered one of the best plants for decoration. But compared to other varieties, they are less winter-hardy and often freeze out. For the winter, the stems are freed from foliage, twisted and covered with spruce branches, sawdust, foliage. In the spring, large shoots are left, the age of which is 1 - 4 years, all weak shoots are removed. At the dacha, varieties such as elf, don juan, indigoletta, santana, polka are most often planted.

Clematis there are about 300 species. They have a well-developed root system, reach a height of 10 m. Flowers are often solitary, in some species they are collected in inflorescences. In large-flowered clematis, the size of the flowers is about 20 cm. Flowering lasts 3 - 4 months. The most popular varieties: integrifolia, lanuginose, florida, viticella, zhakmana, patens.

Campsis - a tree-like liana, which grows up to 15 m. It is fixed on the support with the help of air roots. Tubular flowers of orange or reddish hue are collected in paniculate inflorescences. Campsis is a honey plant and blooms all summer long. With its help, fences are beautifully decorated, which become invisible under a dense layer of greenery. Campsis tolerates winter well. It can often be found in the gardens of the Moscow region.

The most spectacular and profusely flowering is Japanese wisteria. Its inflorescences are larger, white or lilac flowers bloom gradually from the base of the brush. Well adapted to cold winters, tolerates temperatures down to -23 ° C.

Curly hydrangea attaches to the support thanks to air roots and suction cups. It can reach a height of 10 m. It blooms with corymbose white inflorescences, in the middle of which there are small flowers, and larger ones at the edges. It develops slowly on mesh supports, it is better to decorate a tree or post with it.

Shoots cling to the support with antennae, reach a height of 7 m. It blooms from July to September. After flowering, pods with edible beans are tied. For the winter, it can be kept in the form of young cuttings.

Girlish triangular ornamental grapes

Have you ever seen the walls of houses, buildings, monumental fences or summer cottages, dressed like a shell with a green carpet of liana, literally biting into the surface of the support and not responding to rain or wind?

Its autumn color is absolutely amazing, and just beginning frosts are able to extinguish the fire of colors and shades in order to return them with emerald greens next spring.

This is an ornamental maiden grape, tri-pointed varieties "Vici", known since ancient times, decorating the buildings and supports of Rome, Greece and Egypt.

The "Vici" grape deserves the closest attention, because, despite its indisputable advantages, it is not widespread enough.

Vertical gardening with vines, to which the "Vici" grape belongs, has a number of advantages over other plant species.

As practice shows, if you plant this decorative grape near the wall of a building, you get excellent protection from wind and rain. It protects the house from adverse environmental influences, reflects dust and noise.

The decorativeness and aesthetic impression of such landscaping are absolutely delightful both in terms of texture and shade of the seasonal color of the leaves.

There is no doubt that lianas are the only living material for decorating high walls.

However, along with the laudatory characteristics of vertical gardening of walls with "Vici" grapes, there are very cautious and even negative statements warning against damage by such landscaping of wall surfaces, dampness in the room and premature destruction of buildings.

The falsehood and groundlessness of the version about the dangers of using this grape in vertical gardening is refuted by the long-term experience of European countries and, first of all, England.

It would seem that in its foggy, damp climate, vertical gardening should cause irreparable damage to houses. But the lianas have so organically blended into the architecture of this country that they have become an integral part of the national landscape.

On the contrary, it has been proven that grapes protect buildings from dampness at the foundation, acting as a pump against sharp fluctuations in temperature and humidity. And it is not for nothing that ancient villas and perennial European buildings, such as the State Library in Berlin, are entwined with the decorative Vici grape.

The maiden triangular grape belongs to the extensive Vinogradov family. It grows naturally in the Primorsky Territory, Japan.

There, on the coastal cliffs, it forms a dense tiled cover.

The height of the liana is up to 30 m. One bush of the "Vici" ornamental grapes provides 15-20 m2 of landscaping area. Recommended mainly for landscaping the walls of buildings. Climbs them with the help of clinging tendrils with suction cups, and even on smooth surfaces.

Antennae are short, branched, and have bulges at the end. On contact with a hard surface, a sticky substance is released from the blisters. It is of such high quality that it is possible to separate the antennae from the wall only if they are broken. Swollen antennae appear 60-75 days after sowing.

As you can see in the photo, the stem of this decorative grape is flexible, but very strong, which is due to its anatomical structure:

Stem wood consists of a group of fibrous vascular bundles surrounded by soft parenchymal tissue.

Leaves are leathery, small, dark green in summer and orange-red in autumn, forming a dense mosaic carpet. Vegetation and the greatest decorativeness - from May to October.

The root system is fibrous, less deep than that of other species, which allows it to be planted in containers.

When describing this plant, it should be noted that the ornamental “Vici” grape is resistant to smoke and gases, disease and pest damage, which makes it especially valuable for vertical gardening in urban environments.

When planting ornamental grapes in the southern regions, it blooms and gives seeds. Another valuable quality of grapes is that it is shade-tolerant and relatively frost-hardy. But in severe winters with little snow, it can freeze slightly, but in spring it recovers well.

It is undemanding to the soil, but on fertile, loose and well-drained soils it is distinguished by its special splendor and rapid growth.

This decorative grape is propagated by seed, which is the main method, although it is possible also by woody and green cuttings under artificial fog conditions.

Seeds can be sown before winter, but it is better to grow seedlings and plant them in the fall of the second year or in the spring of the third.

After planting this decorative grape, care is reduced to weeding and loosening. Water for the first time, during spring planting, 2-3 times a week for a month. The next year, when the grapes begin to grow, that is, in May, it must be fed.

Based on one bush, 10 liters of a solution of 20 g of ammonium nitrate, 60 g of superphosphate and 30 g of potassium salt.

At the end of summer, one more top dressing is carried out from the following components: superphosphate - 80 g, potassium salt - 20 g and 10 g of ammonium nitrate. Caring for these ornamental grapes during the growing season also includes pruning dry doses and harvesting fallen leaves.

For decorative purposes, grapes in the summer can be sprayed with a 0.2% carbamide solution. It does not burn the leaves, at the same time being a foliar dressing, it provides color brightness.

After watering, it is good to mulch the soil with dry humus, peat crumbs, dry grass, or just dry soil.

For the winter, young plantings must be insulated with dry foliage, burlap, matting.

The main agricultural methods of planting and caring for these decorative grapes are shown in the photo:

Perennial vines for Siberia: types and features of care

When choosing perennial plants wintering in the soil, it is necessary to take into account the climatic features of the region. For the Urals and Siberia, perennials with a well-developed root system, resistant to low air temperatures, are suitable.

Siberian prince - This is a shrub vine, clinging to the support with leaf stalks. The stems are ligneous, reaching a height of 3 m. The flowers are large, solitary, like a drooping bell.

Prince can grow in full sun and partial shade. Any garden soil is suitable for it. At the beginning of summer, you can add half a bucket of humus. In autumn, the aerial part of the vine dies off. The root system is frost-resistant, does not need shelter. Shoots grow quickly in early spring. Propagated by seeds, cuttings or dividing the bush.

Reproduction methods

Young shoots are obtained in different ways. Liana propagates by dividing the bush, by seeds or cuttings. The most effective methods of propagation are root grafting and rooting of air layers. In other cases, the result is not always predictable.

By dividing the bush

The procedure is carried out in early spring. For division, bushes not older than 5 years are used. Old plants do not tolerate transplanting well, so they may stop flowering. For reproduction, the bush is dug out, the roots are cleaned from the ground, and they are divided into 2-3 parts. Immediately plant the vines in the prepared pits.

Advantages of the method:

• maternal signs are completely preserved;
• a young plant blooms profusely after 1.5 years.

Seeds

Planting material is sown in a greenhouse in late November or early December. The seeds can be purchased at the store or harvested by yourself. The advantage of this method is the ability to fully control the growth process of the vine. When propagated by seeds, some of the seedlings will never bloom.

By cuttings

The procedure is carried out in two ways. In the first, lignified cuttings are used. This method helps to obtain several copies of the plant at once. Cuttings are planted in the fall. Choose twigs at least 8 cm long and with 2 well-developed buds.

The second way is to use root cuttings. In summer or autumn, dig in an adult wisteria, cut off a third of the roots, add fertile soil. Repeat the manipulation in the spring. Treat young roots with an antifungal agent and plant in a flower bed with nutritious soil.

Pros of cuttings:

• many plants take root;
• young vines bloom profusely;
• the features of the species are preserved.

Minuses:

• procedures require accuracy;
• a nutritious substrate is needed for rooting cuttings;
• sometimes the plants have to be grown.

Liana in the garden: landscape tricks (video)

Actinidia kolomikta (Amur gooseberry) is a tree-like deciduous liana with thick stems reaching a height of 14 m. The leaves are large, oval, with a pointed end. The flowers are very fragrant, white in color, hanging on long stalks. They actively attract insects. The fruits are oblong, soft, reminiscent of gooseberries, are distinguished by a high content of vitamin C.

Actinidia loves light, loose soil. You can add sand, compost, a little humus to the planting pit. Its roots are actively spreading around, so the distance to neighboring crops should be at least 3 m. Prefers the sun, but grows in partial shade. Withstands winter frosts down to -40 ° C. Young shoots for the winter must be covered with sawdust or dry leaves. Propagated by layering, cuttings, leaves.

Ekkremocarpus (scrub rough) is a climbing plant with original tubular flowers collected in a brush.A distinctive feature is the formation of a large tuber in the soil, from the buds of which young shoots up to 3 m long grow. The leaf plates are complex-pinnate, at the ends there are small antennae. With their help, the ekremocarpus clings to the support. The fruits are green, in the form of small peppercorns with seeds.

Hedgehog grows well in loose, nutritious soil. Prefers well-lit places and abundant watering. Propagated by seeds. Its aerial part dies off at the end of September. The tubers do not withstand severe frosts, therefore, in the climatic conditions of Siberia, it is recommended to grow ekremocarpus in containers. For the winter, they are removed to the basement.

Aristolochia Manchu (kirkazon) is a deciduous woody liana, reaching 15 - 20 m. The flowers have an original shape that resembles a curved tube. The leaves are large, heart-shaped, strictly symmetrical. The fruits are large, cylindrical, outwardly reminiscent of a cucumber. Kirkazon is often used in mixed compositions to decorate gazebos, pergolas, and arches.

Loves moist, fertile soil. Needs frequent watering. Grows well in partial shade. Propagated by layering, cuttings, seeds. In the middle lane, adult plants can winter in the open field, young shoots are covered with dry leaves or sawdust.

Schisandra chinensis - woody shrub with wrinkled brown bark. The sheet plates are elliptical with a wedge-shaped base. The flowers are small, collected in a racemose inflorescence. Edible fruits, collected in a spike-shaped raceme, are used for medicinal purposes.

Lemongrass prefers good lighting. He does not like drafts, so it is recommended to grow it near buildings. Very picky about soil moisture and atmosphere. In extreme heat, additional spraying with warm water is necessary. Propagated by layering, seeds. Resistant to low air temperatures. For the winter, shoots are removed from the supports, covered with dry leaves.

Why wisteria does not bloom

• Lianas are obtained from seeds... With this method of reproduction, the appearance of the first flowers can be expected up to 20 years.
• Insufficient watering... Plants need a lot of water from July to September. During this period, buds are laid for flowering the next year. If the wisteria does not receive enough watering, it will not bear fruit abundantly.
• Low temperature... Some plants react to spring frosts by premature bud development. This can be avoided by protecting the wisteria from adverse weather.
• Rare pruning... Wisteria should be regularly looked after, cut twice annually. The time of the first pruning is July or August, the next one is February.

Popular annual decorative vines

Morning glory - a luxurious liana with numerous funnel-shaped flowers. It grows very quickly and reaches a height of up to 4 m. It clings to the support with the help of numerous antennae. The leaf plates are heart-shaped. The fruits are presented in the form of a spherical box. For decorative purposes, about 25 species of morning glory are used.

Kobeya climbing - fast-growing shrub with flexible shoots. It has large bell-shaped flowers. Leaves are cordate, consisting of 3 lobes with tendrils at the ends, with which the plant is fixed on supports. The stems reach a height of 6 m. The genus Kobei has 9 species.

Sweet pea - unpretentious garden culture used for decorative landscaping. Numerous inflorescences are brightly colored and have a pleasant aroma. The root system is well developed. Can reach 3 m in height. Currently, there are about 1000 known varieties.

Bindweed tricolor it is distinguished by an abundance of flowering and greenery. The leaf plates are oval, bright green in color. Funnel-shaped flowers with wavy edges are located in the leaf axils. There are about 150 species of bindweed.

Medicinal uses of the plant

On the basis of Caucasian dioscorea, medicines, dietary supplements, anti-aging cosmetics, female contraceptives are produced. In the form of tablets, drugs such as Diosponin and Polisponin are produced. Both pharmacological products have anti-sclerotic properties and lower blood pressure.

An interesting fact! The plant extended the life of the irradiated mice, forming a semblance of an X-ray protective layer.

This gift of nature will be a significant addition to the treatment of pathologies such as:

• arthritis, rheumatism, atherosclerosis;
• dysfunction of the liver, adrenal glands, kidneys;
• damage to the vessels of internal organs;
• diabetes;
• the recovery period after a stroke, heart attack;
• diseases in the gynecological field;
• eye diseases;
• ailments of the gastrointestinal tract.

Also, medicinal raw materials are effective in the fight against epilepsy, since regular intake of the tincture reduces the frequency of seizures.

The miracle plant relieves skin diseases: psoriasis, eczema, neurodermatitis, mastocytosis.

It is believed that Dioscorea even fights cancer by removing the affected cells and preventing the appearance of new ones.

The healing properties of liana are preserved for three years. Correctly dried roots of the plant are used to obtain valuable tinctures, decoctions, infusions.

How to care for vines (video)

Thunbergia winged (Black-eyed Suzanne) has bright large flowers on long pedicels, collected in inflorescences. Leaves are ovoid with jagged edges. It can be up to 6 m in height. In the open field, it is grown as an annual. About 200 plant species are known.

Decorative curly lianas are very popular with summer residents. With their help, you can create unusual compositions that will delight and delight with their beauty throughout the summer season.

Composition and biological activity of a natural gift

It is the root that is effective in the treatment of diseases. Since a high concentration is found in it:

• organic compounds - saponins, in particular diascin, which breaks down plaques and cleanses blood vessels;
• complex compounds - glycosides, which affect the healthy functioning of the heart;
• plant compounds - phytoestrogens, which restore hormonal levels, improve the structure of the skin;
• waxy compounds - fatty substances that boost the immune system;
• starch, which has a regenerating effect.

Interesting! Steroidal saponins are rare in nature. Plants of a tropical climate are leading in terms of their content. The saponins contained in liana act on organs and systems as follows:

• reduce pressure;
• reduce blood cholesterol;
• promote vasodilation;
• relieve deposits in the liver, arteries;
• have a diuretic, choleretic, analgesic, antimicrobial and anti-sclerotic effect;
• increase immunity;
• have an anti-inflammatory effect;
• regulate the functioning of the nervous system;
• stimulate the brain.

It has been established that funds based on the "Caucasian grass" normalize sleep, improve memory, and activate the functioning of the cardiac system. In addition, the drugs eliminate fatigue and increase the emotional background. Amazing! Saponins restore sexual function.

Thanks to saponins, hormonal substances are synthesized in the body.

Delicate handling is most important after transplant

After transplanting, the home beauty is watered abundantly in small portions to evenly moisten the soil. The watering schedule is approached gradually. To avoid injuring the roots and slowing growth, you should not add fertilizer for 1-1.5 months, since when transplanting, there are enough nutrients in the soil that are so important for the plant.

Do not leave the vine near heating devices, avoid direct sunlight.The air humidity should be high and be about 60%. When the plant adapts, check the condition of the leaves, new shoots and feel free to return the vine to its usual place.

Monster care

Monsters in Russian conditions usually do not bloom, but they like large green leaves.

The floor of the monster must feed on sand or humus.

The place doesn't like places with direct sunlight. This is due to the natural habitat of the tropical inhabitants of the Monster, so the ideal habitat for its habitat is not much shade or space with indirect sunlight that will brighten and uniquely illuminate it.

The normal air temperature for the development of a monster should be from +15 to +19 ° C.

At higher temperatures, the vine will grow much faster. In the summer, it is very important to maintain a humidity similar to a tropical climate. To do this, it is often necessary to slightly moisten with a damp material or sprinkle with warm water.

In winter, moisture should not be so intense. The soil must be moistened throughout the year, with the exception of winter. This season it does not need to be exaggerated by watering, but it is necessary that the soil is moist and does not dry out. The water should be cold. Most monsters rarely flower. This is due to the fact that it is impossible to recreate living conditions in our climate.

However, if such a miracle occurs, its flowers have a lovely creamy white color and the resulting fruit tastes like an exotic pineapple.

Clematis

These are, of course, clematis, cultivated and wild species. as well as girlish grapes.

Clematis are very beautiful. At first, I did not understand the intricacies of growing them. Therefore, I decided to grow only hardy and unpretentious ones.

If there is no time to cover for the winter, and then open in time, it is better to plant a vine in the garden, blooming on the shoots of this summer or year. Ask the seller about this. Shoots of the past year often either freeze or vytuvat. So, we buy a variety that releases shoots in the spring, and in the fall we cut them at a height of 30 centimeters.

Another "whim" of these climbing crops - it is imperative to dig a large planting hole measuring 60 by 60 and put rubble on the bottom, that is, drainage 15 centimeters. Fill the hole with fertile soil with fertilizers.

The next "weakness" is that he likes someone to grow up at his "feet". You can plant sedum there, or cover with mown grass. Its roots and shoots often suffer from solar overheating.

Clematis are planted in the spring, it is better to buy with a closed root system in order to take root faster. They grow quickly, at first about ten centimeters a day, they must be tied to supports in time.

This is especially true for wild species. who climb to great heights; if you do not tie it up in time. then do not unravel.

I like my clematis "hot". They sent it from the Siberian kennel with a small root. It quickly grew and now it is a huge bush with a height of two and a half meters and a width of one and a half meters or more. The flowers are small, but so fragrant, they smell like honey. It grows not far from the veranda, even in the house you can smell it. For what properties the name burning is given, I still cannot understand.

See ?! This is a cloud of flowers! One thing is bad - does not like to cuttings, if only at the very beginning of spring with a handle with a "heel".

Possible problems

Lofos is a rather rare plant, so it cannot be found in all flower beds. It is for this reason that talking about diseases and pests that affect this plant is not entirely appropriate. The common problems of these colors are worth considering.

Diseases

Representatives of the flora can become hostages of dangerous diseases, which are divided into 3 types:

• fungal;
• viral;
• bacterial.

Let's consider in detail:

1. Fungal infections... In order to get rid of fungal infections, it is necessary to use special preparations.Treatment of the lesion site should be carried out several times, with an interval of two weeks.
   Preparations must necessarily contain copper. Large areas of the plant can be treated with such preparations at once.
2. Viral infections... Only viral infections are not amenable to treatment. All plants that have been affected by a similar problem must be destroyed immediately so that the infection does not spread. Viruses are transmitted by insects, so it is better to deal with such pests.
3. Bacterial infections... When a bacterial infection is affected, oiliness appears on the plant. It is necessary to carefully remove the affected areas and treat them with antibacterial drugs. If this method does not work, then you need to contact a specialist and apply more effective drugs purchased in a special store.

Pests

Flowers are most commonly affected by aphids, thrips, ticks and whiteflies. It is necessary to process the plants, but most likely after the rain the pests will return, so it is worth doing repeated procedures. You should also get rid of ants, because if aphids appear, then these insects are already there in any case.

Healing properties

Since the plant effectively cleans blood vessels and normalizes the activity of the heart, it is especially recommended for elderly people. Doctors believe that the benefits of culture are related to its ability to:

• lower blood pressure;
• dilate blood vessels;
• reduce blood cholesterol levels.

Therefore, the indication for the use of wild yam in official medicine is most often atherosclerosis. Taking the herb allows:

• eliminate headache;
• improve vision;
• normalize mood;
• return sleep;
• improve memory;
• eliminate unpleasant tinnitus.

But atherosclerosis is not the only pathology in which a medicinal vine is in demand. It is very useful for women. Doctors note the following positive properties of the herb:

• normalization of hormonal levels;
• improvement during menopause;
• normalization of the menstrual cycle;
• protection against osteoporosis;
• relief of inflammation (salpingitis, endometritis, vaginitis).

Due to its anti-inflammatory effect on the reproductive system, the plant is no less useful for men. And due to the ability to enhance blood circulation, it improves potency. But Dioscorea is allowed to be used only after consulting a doctor. Self-medication is strictly prohibited. In some situations, the herb can be not only harmful, but also dangerous.

Nickname

To represent yourself on the Youtube channel, in instagram and social networks, the name Liana gives many options:

• @anainal_liana;
• ;
• liones $ eCular’s ​​- "socialite";
• lprincessa;
• lionessa;
• lione $$ a etc.

Lina can choose an unusual and interesting nickname for social networks

Morning glory and sweet peas

Polka dots love sunny places, watering; drying out of the soil is unacceptable for him. Since he does not tolerate a transplant, he is planted directly in a permanent place to a depth of 2-3 centimeters. The soil is prepared in advance, filled with humus, ash to reduce acidity. During the growing season, you can feed with any fertilizer except nitrogen.

This is a capricious curly flower in cultivation, you never know how long it will grow, I left it alone.

Of the annuals, I liked the morning glory the most. Will never let you down, undemanding in care, very beautiful in the garden. The store sells a large assortment of these flowers. Now even a terry uniform has appeared.

Curly liana morning glory, photo:

Ipomoea love sunny places, it is better to grow them through seedlings. Then the required area will be closed faster. I plant it at the gate, over which there is an arch, on both sides. Ipomoea quickly twine around it, bloom continuously until late autumn. It is imperative to pick off the drying flowers.You can plant different colors from opposite ends of the wicket; then, intertwining with each other, they form a multi-colored very beautiful arch.

Feed with well-diluted manure, fermented grass.

And yet, as a climbing candidate for a garden, I would like to consider perennial vines.

• First, they reach great heights and more power.
• Secondly, there is no need to think every year what to plant, grow seedlings.
• Thirdly, in my opinion, it is better to plant such curly flowers, which, growing from year to year, reliably cover the place that you asked to close for any purpose.

Where and how to plant it?

First, of course, you need to purchase seedlings, or grow them from seeds. The plant is transferred to the garden, with the end of the last frost period.

Lighting and location

Curly Gloxinia loves good lighting, but does not tolerate the direct rays of the scorching summer sun. Therefore, it is better to place it so that the lighting is diffused. For example, near the wall of a house, or under the roof of a gazebo. Since the plant is ampelous, it is necessary to place it in a container on a dais. Lofos shoots are quite fragile, so you need to provide a spacious place protected from gusts of wind.

In order for it not to break at the edge of the pot when the shoot grows back, it is necessary to install a small support for the base of the shoot. It should look like this: first, the vine winds along a small support about 20 cm, and only then falls down.

Advice! The pot must be large enough, at least 25 cm deep.

Soil requirements

Curly gloxinia does not have any special requirements for the composition of the soil, but taking into account its presence in the container, the fertility and structure of the soil must be taken care of. It is necessary to prepare the soil according to the following parameters:

• Fertility will give the addition of leaf humus, or compost.
• The porosity will provide fine sand.
• Neutral or slightly alkaline soil reaction. Here you need to check the soil. If in doubt, add a handful of wood ash.
• Moisture capacity will provide peat.

From here we get the following soil composition: turf soil, sand, peat and leaf humus in a ratio of 3: 1: 1: 1 plus a handful of ash per 5 liters of soil mixture. You can take a ready-made soil mixture for vines, or universal for flowering plants.

Structure

The chemical composition of wild yam is very complex and varied. But the following substances are of the greatest value both in official medicine and in folk medicine.

• Saponins. The rhizome is rich in diosgenin derivatives - steroidal saponins. They have a wide range of effects. It is saponins that remove harmful cholesterol from the body. These components are even capable of destroying atherosclerotic plaques that form on the vascular walls.
• Glycosides. Compounds that improve heart function.
• Phytoestrogens. These substances are structurally similar to female hormones.

The culture is rich in starch, selenium and chromium, fat-like substances.

Contraindications

Herbal raw materials, despite the extensive list of indications for use, can cause harm to the body. Contraindications to the use of herbal remedies are the following conditions.

• Hypotension. Medicinal raw materials promote vasodilation. As a result of this effect, the pressure decreases. Therefore, in those people who naturally have low blood pressure, dioscorea can provoke a severe hypotonic state.
• Stroke. This condition is both an indication and a contraindication. Only a doctor can determine if a given herb will be beneficial. Culture dilates blood vessels, and in some cases it can cause the phenomenon of "stealing" of areas of the brain suffering from chronic ischemia due to the flow of blood into those areas that are already well supplied with blood.
• Ulcer, gastritis. The herb helps to increase the secretion of the digestive glands.And this leads to an increase in the acidity of gastric juice and a worsening of the patient's condition.

Do not use Dioscorea for plant allergies. In this case, some rather unpleasant side effects can develop: skin rash, severe itching, loss of appetite, excessive sweating, and even an upset stomach. These symptoms indicate an intoxication of the body. The herbal remedies are immediately discontinued. And if necessary, they seek help from doctors.

Patron saints

The church calendar contains a biography of Lydia Irriapolskaya. Some sources call her Liana and the patroness of all Liana professing Christianity. Memorial Day of the saint is celebrated on April 5.

A girl can choose another ascetic as patron, the day of remembrance of which is close to her birthday or baptism. Then she will have two names: one for life, the second for God. The two-name rule applies to all religious denominations. It meets the requirements of secret magical practices. According to esoteric knowledge, the name is the key to the soul. Sorcerers, magicians, witches can, knowing him, have an adverse effect on a person. Therefore, in ancient times, a newborn was given two names, one of which was kept secret.

Geography

Originally the name belonged to Europeans. Together with them it got to America and Australia. The Russians and the peoples of the near abroad borrowed it from foreigners. Versions are known in many modern languages, including Arabic, Japanese, and Chinese.

A healthy vine starts with a quality substrate

The soil for vines is selected individually according to the required reaction, composition and ratio of components. But there are still general criteria for the substrate in which indoor climbers are grown. The soil should be nutritious, breathable, loose in texture, not prone to compaction over time, sufficiently rough, water-permeable.

The structure of the soil is determined by the type of root system, choosing light substrates for plants with thin and weak roots, medium ones for fast-growing vines and heavy ones for shrub vines with ligneous shoots and powerful rhizomes grown in the largest containers.

For any liana, loosening and disinfecting additives are welcomed - charcoal, wood ash, moss, bark, vermiculite, perlite, expanded clay, etc.

Vines require high drainage. The risk of waterlogging of the soil even with the most careful care of vines, especially ampels, is much higher than that of ordinary potted plants. Drainage can prevent many problems, stabilize conditions and lighten containers when growing in hanging planters.

Actinidia

Actinidia is among the most beautiful flowering lianas. This plant is a close relative of the kiwi. And gardeners call the fruits of this vine the main advantage. The three-centimeter berries, which have a yellow-green color, contain a large amount of nutrients, and they are also tasty. On the territory of our country, the following varieties of flowering vines are widespread:

• actinidia kolomikta with delightful leaves that change shade from bronze to green, and then to white and crimson;
• actinidia sharp with dense glossy green leaves, the length of the shoots is about 30 meters;
• actinidia Giralda, growing up to 25 meters;
• actinidia polygamous with orange fruits;
• Chinese actinidia is an eight-meter liana with dense leaves.

Botanical description

The scientific name for this plant is lofospermum or lofos. Many people know him as a comb seed.

It is worth noting that lofospermum resembles gloxinia flowers in its shape, therefore it is often called curly gloxinia.

Lofos is a perennial vine that originated in North and Central America.

Such a plant belongs to the evergreen, velvety representatives of the flora. Since the middle of the seventeenth century, this flower has become famous among many gardeners. It began to be used to decorate balconies, buildings, flower beds and gazebos. In places with a temperate climate, you can grow such a plant as an annual, but indoors it can become perennial.
