How to Choose Climbing Plants for Your Home? The Pros and Cons of These 4 Are Explained at Once
If you have a balcony, fence or trellis at home, planting a climbing plant is sure to be a good choice! It covers itself in branches and leaves and blooms into a waterfall of flowers, which is so soothing to look at. Today I recommend 4 super popular climbers and also talk about their pros and cons to help you pick the one that suits you best.
Honeysuckle:absolutely the "representative of the practical type." It looks good and can also be steeped in water to drink, with value for money maxed out.
Pros: First, it is easy to grow. Just cut a branch and stick it in soil and it will live. It is drought-tolerant and sun-tolerant, not afraid of more than 30 degrees of blazing sun in summer, and it is fine even when frozen at a few degrees below zero in winter, so beginners basically will not fail with it. Second, it has many uses. When it blooms, the whole yard is filled with a fresh fragrance, and the petals can be picked to make tea, which clears heat and tastes good. It also grows fast and can cover a small fence in half a year. If you want to quickly create a green wall, choosing it is sure to be right.
Cons: Its flowers are relatively small, not as showy as other climbers. If you are after a "big flowers bursting out of the pot" look, you may find it not stunning enough. In addition, it grows too wildly. If it is not pruned often, the branches will climb around chaotically and even entangle other plants, so it needs regular "haircuts."
Wisteria:truly the "romance specialist." As soon as spring comes, it blooms into purple and white flower racemes that hang down like a waterfall, and photos come out amazingly.
Pros: Although the flowering period is short, it is highly ornamental, and it has a long lifespan. It can be grown for ten or eight years without any problem, and after it grows into an old plant, flowering is even more spectacular. Planted in the ground in a yard, it can also provide shade in summer, and sitting under the flower trellis drinking tea is super comfortable. The key is that it is also cold-tolerant, and overwintering outdoors is no problem in most areas of the north.
Cons: First, it grows slowly. From a young seedling to flowering, you may have to wait 3-5 years, so impatient people easily get anxious. Second, its root system is especially well developed, so it is not suitable for pot cultivation. If you only have a balcony at home, growing it can easily split the pot, and it needs sufficient light. If the light is not enough, it will not bloom, and this must be kept firmly in mind.
Lady Banks' rose: "fragrance drifting ten li," and people who like scent will absolutely love it.

Bougainvillea:confirmed as the "tropical beauty." It can be seen everywhere along roadsides in the south, and when it blooms, the branches are full of flowers with almost no leaves visible.
