A climbing plant blooms all over a wall, turning it into a sea of flowers; when the flowers fall, their fragrance trails along the whole path

I remember a while ago I came across a great story

An elderly couple were planning to move house

Because they had planted quite a few climbing roses at home

When they bloom, seen from afar

The house looks as beautiful as a sea of flowers

The first floor, which originally was not easy to sell

Because of this sea-of-flowers scenery

Actually sold for several hundred thousand more than the market price

So growing flowers is also a kind of investment

Plant one now

In ten years it might be quite a sum of wealth!

Today let me introduce to you

Several kinds of plants that can climb into a flower wall

Plant any one at random

And it can become as beautiful as a painting!

Climbing roses

Here I first recommend climbing roses

Compared with Rosa multiflora

Climbing roses have a longer flowering period

The flowers are bigger and more beautiful

If they climb into a wall

No need to say how stunning it would be!

Many roses are very beautiful

For example, the fast-growing

and abundantly flowering 'Parade'

The classic pink 'Pierre de Ronsard'

The pink 'Leonardo da Vinci'

The yellow 'Georgia'

'Margaret Thatcher' - any single one of them can intoxicate the heart with beauty

Climbing roses themselves have no climbing organs

They need artificial trellising or tying

Trained upward, they can reach 3~4m tall

When planting, you can plant several varieties together

When they bloom, the flower shapes differ and the colors are varied

Extraordinarily beautiful!

Climbing roses have a relatively long flowering period

They can bloom in three seasons

And when the clustered flowers open they give off a strong fragrance

Climbing roses have strong adaptability

Cold-resistant and drought-resistant, they like sufficient sunlight and air circulation

A well-drained and wind-sheltered environment

They require fertile, loose, slightly acidic soil rich in organic matter

But their range of adaptation to soil is fairly wide

Relative air humidity is best at 75%~80%

But slightly drier or slightly wetter is also fine

They have the characteristic of continuous blooming.

For most varieties the optimum daytime temperature is 15~26°C

And 10~15°C at night

When the winter temperature drops below 5°C they enter dormancy

Generally varieties can withstand a low of -15°C

If summer high temperatures persist above 30°C

Then most varieties bloom less

Quality declines, and they enter a semi-dormant state

Chinese trumpet creeper

Among vine flowers, the most admirable is the Chinese trumpet creeper

The Chinese trumpet creeper has a long flowering period

Every time I see Chinese trumpet creeper I always picture white walls and black tiles

The pairing of the two is just right

Clusters of blooming Chinese trumpet creeper flowers

Up close they look like strings of small orange-red trumpets

Gathered together in groups of three or five

From afar they look like wind chimes on a flower stand

The Chinese trumpet creeper's dry branches are twisted and varied in form

Its emerald leaves are round like canopies

The flowers are large and brilliantly colored, and the flowering period is very long

It is a good greening material for pergolas and flower gates in gardens

For climbing walls, dead trees and stone faces, it is extremely suitable

Dotted in the gaps of rockeries, its profuse bright blooms feel even more moving

Chinese trumpet creeper likes plenty of sunlight

It also tolerates half shade and has fairly strong adaptability

Cold-resistant, drought-resistant, barren-resistant, salt-alkali-resistant, with relatively few pests and diseases

But it is not suited to blazing sun or no sunlight

Well-drained, loose neutral soil is preferable

Acidic soil should be avoided

Chinese trumpet creeper likes warmth and is not cold-resistant

In winter it must be placed indoors in a place that does not freeze to overwinter

Chinese trumpet creeper likes fertilizer and moisture; after sprouting in spring, water and fertilizer management should be strengthened

Generally apply liquid fertilizer 1-2 times a month

But it does not like heavy fertilizer, so do not fertilize too much

Otherwise it will affect flowering

Bougainvillea

In provinces such as Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi and Yunnan

Bougainvillea can be seen everywhere

Many flower lovers also grow it at home

Pruned into a bonsai, or left to grow freely

Covering half a house

Full of tropical charm

If you have seen it, you will never forget it

It likes warm, humid

and sunny environments

It is not cold-resistant

In China, except in the southern regions where it can be cultivated outdoors and overwinter

In other regions it needs pot cultivation and greenhouse cultivation

Well-drained sandy loam soil is most suitable

Bougainvillea is commonly propagated by cuttings, and raising seedlings is easy

In May and June

Cut mature woody branches

20 cm long, and insert them into a sand pot

Cover with glass and keep moist

They can take root in about a month

After two years of cultivation they can bloom

The whole plant's flowering period is very long

It can reach three or four months

During the flowering period there are many fallen flowers and fallen leaves

They need to be cleared away promptly to keep it fresh and beautiful

Clematis

Clematis enjoys the fine title of "Queen of Vine Flowers"

The flowers are generally white, and the flowers have a fragrant scent

Clematis can be used as exhibition cut flowers

It can be used to climb evergreen or deciduous trees and shrubs

It can be used as ground cover

Its roots and whole plant are used as medicine

Clematis has sparse, graceful branches and leaves

Some have large, brilliantly colored flowers

Some have many small flowers gathered into large inflorescences

Unique and charming, it can be planted by walls and windows

Climbing on flower columns, flower gates and fences

And care is relatively easy, so it is very suitable for planting in a small yard

Prefers fertile, well-drained alkaline loam

Avoid soil that waterlogs or dries out in summer and cannot retain water

Clematis needs more than 6h of direct sunlight every day

This is extremely beneficial to its growth

Generally, during the growing season, water thoroughly once every 3-4 days

Water when the growing medium has dried out but the plant has not yet wilted

During the dormant period, simply keep the growing medium moist

The optimum temperature for growth is 15~17°C at night and 21~25°C during the day

Provide appropriate shade in summer

Clematis is highly cold-hardy

It can tolerate low temperatures of -20°C

Japanese honeysuckle

Plant Japanese honeysuckle at home

Not only can you enjoy the flowers

You can also use it as a Chinese herbal medicine

Since ancient times, Japanese honeysuckle has been praised as a fine remedy for clearing heat and detoxifying

Pick a little yourself and brew it as tea

You will be as happy as can be!

It is sweet in nature, cold in property, and aromatic

Sweet and cold, it clears heat without harming the stomach

Aromatic and penetrating, it can also dispel pathogenic factors

Japanese honeysuckle can both disperse wind-heat

And is also good at clearing and resolving blood toxins

It is used for various heat-related diseases

Such as body heat, rashes, macules, heat-toxin sores and carbuncles, and sore, swollen throat

All with remarkable effects

Brewing Japanese honeysuckle as tea can inhibit and kill pathogenic bacteria in the throat

It has anti-cold and anti-infection effects for the elderly and children

Japanese honeysuckle is highly adaptable, likes sunlight, and also tolerates shade

It is cold-tolerant, and also tolerates drought and waterlogging

It is not demanding about soil and can adapt to both acidic and alkaline soils

But moist, fertile, deep sandy loam is best

Its root system is well developed, its sprouting ability is strong, and its stems and vines root at every node

Where they touch the ground, so providing a trellis favors its climbing growth

Flame vine

Flame vine is not cold-tolerant

It grows better when planted in the south

It is a trellis plant widely grown in tropical courtyards

It is often planted around courtyard buildings

Climbing over arbors

It blooms in early summer, with red-orange flowers in dense hanging clusters

As lively as firecrackers, hence the name flame vine

It truly blooms passionately and explosively!

Water by the principle of dry-wet alternation, and never let water accumulate in the pot

During bud formation and blooming, water a little more generously

In summer, when temperatures are high, water sufficiently

At the same time, sprinkle water on the ground near the flowerpot

To raise air humidity

In autumn, it begins to enter the flower bud differentiation stage

At this time, watering should be appropriately reduced

In order to control vegetative growth and promote flower bud differentiation

During the growing season, apply a dilute liquid fertilizer combining nitrogen and phosphorus about once every 2 weeks

During the bud formation stage, apply 1-2 additional quick-acting liquid fertilizers mainly based on phosphorus

After the flowers fade, apply 1 additional liquid fertilizer mainly based on nitrogen

To benefit flowering and plant growth

Flame vine is not cold-tolerant

In northern regions, after winter begins it must be moved indoors to overwinter

During overwintering, place it indoors in a spot with ample sunlight, control watering, and stop fertilizing

Keep the room temperature above 10°C

Generally, from mid to late December, the room temperature needs to be gradually raised a little

At the same time, water and fertilize in moderation

By February to March, it can form buds and bloom

Morning glory

Morning glory has a fairly strong self-seeding ability

Basically, it can come up on its own every year

It is easy to grow

And the flower shape is also very attractive

Morning glory is generally sown in spring

And blooms in summer and autumn

It has many varieties

Flower colors include blue, crimson, peach red, purple, and so on

There are also mixed colors, and the petal edges vary greatly

The seed capsules split into several valves

Collect them well and sow again the next year

Then they can quickly grow again and produce beautiful flowers

Morning glory is extremely adaptable

It likes ample sunlight and can also tolerate partial shade

Morning glory is not frost-tolerant

The optimum temperature for growth is 13~18°C

In winter, the temperature should be 4~10°C

If it drops below 4°C, the plant stops growing

In summer, it can tolerate high temperatures above 35°C

Morning glory is a long-day plant

It requires fairly strong light conditions

Whether potted or planted in the ground, it must be given ample light

With ample sunlight, it grows vigorously with lush leaves and abundant flowers

If light is insufficient, branches and leaves tend to grow leggy, and it blooms little or the flower quality is poor

If it can be given more than 12 hours of light per day

And the night temperature is above 10°C, then it can bloom in all four seasons

Morning glory has a long flowering period and needs continuous nutrient replenishment

Only then can it keep blooming

Hoya

Hoya is a plant in the genus Hoya of the family Apocynaceae

Hoya is a very cute plant

The flowers are spherical and umbel-shaped, with a peculiar yet elegant form

And they give off a captivating fragrance

Keep one pot at home

It can create a fresh and elegant home environment

Very charming

There are also many varieties of hoya

In all kinds of colors and forms

The only thing that never changes is that they all bloom into cute little balls

Hoya likes a warm, semi-shaded environment

In summer and autumn, it needs relatively high air temperature

Avoid scorching sun exposure; if sunlight is too strong

The leaf color will turn yellow, and the texture will become rough and dull

The suitable growth temperature for hoya is 20~25°C

In winter, the temperature should not be lower than 1°C

It can bloom only with 3~4h of ample sunlight each day

In areas with insufficient light, it is often grown in pots for foliage

It grows vigorously in soil rich in humus and well drained

It is more suited to more light and slightly dry soil

I like Chinese roses the most, super obsessed!

However, the pest problem with Chinese roses is rather troubling

But when they are beautiful, they truly have no equal!

Which one do you like?
