It does not matter who you are - an avid collectorrare plants that always do not have enough space, or just want to decorate the room and put on a nice shelf something nice and green, maybe fluffy, or even better - blooming. In any case, you can not do without lifting something from the green spaces upward. Often places in the house are so small that the idea of moving plants in the interior upward seems more than reasonable. It can be anything: a shelf on the wall, and a shelf suspended near the window like a swing. In this case, it should be borne in mind that the higher plants are planted, the longer they will have hanging lashes, otherwise the flower will simply not be visible. Providing such shelves, hanging pots and boxes, you safely solve the problem of the correct placement of flowing indoor plants in the interior. Namely they decorate the interior best. In the hands of a good designer, they generally turn into whole green compositions or panels. You will be able to show your taste and imagination if you can beautifully combine different plants with whole and dissected leaves, round and linear, monophonic and variegated, somewhere to plant them thicker, and somewhere to give your eyes a rest.
Preparing for the rearrangement of plants
If you decide to spend in your home a largespreading flowers to new places, decide first which conditions - temperature, lightness, humidity - are in the corner of the apartment where you are going to deploy your activities and what are the opportunities for their adjustment. After all the questions have been answered correctly, you can already see which of your plants will be able to feel normal there. It will be very good if you can pick not only reliable plants, but also those that will approach your interior in color, style and texture. Then eventually your idea will work for you, and you will experience joy, living among all this beauty. Everyone understands that the best thing for flowers is a place - by the window and near a well-lit by the sun or a lamp the daylight of the wall. The natural illumination at the top of the room is always worse than near the window itself. Therefore, it is necessary to place the least light-loving indoor plants. Care should be taken to temperature differences and air currents arising from airing or turning on the air conditioner. Plants do not really like extreme conditions.
We adjust to lighting
We have already said that it is better to place at the tophanging plants. To this we must add that if you put plants on top, then pots should ensure maximum stability. This can be done by weighting the vases with counterweights. First of all, such a measure refers to a rather weighty aroid, which, by the way, is perfectly suited to room conditions. If you want to decorate a sunny, brightly lit room, then you will not find a better candidate than cacti and succulents with elongated shoots. And it does not matter that they are not dangling, because they can be done that way. For example, the original ampel plant will come from the Milk Milk. Many candidates can be found among plants with naturally drooping shoots, for example, small sansezera, Morgan cleanings, tseropegii, selenitzeresy, ragworts, peperomies, aporakactusy. Slightly less light requires beautifully flowering forest cacti, hoyi, asparagus, ivy, plectrant, cissus, comelin. In the light penumbra or under fluorescent lamps, begonias, ferns, gesneriae, aroids and magenta feel well.
You can start with asparagus
Asparagus - one of the most beautiful ampelplants. Shoots up to two meters long will perfectly adorn any bright room. There are also compact varieties whose shoots are half as short. Most popular is the variety of bristly asparagus and asparagus dwarf varieties Mayer and Sprenger. They are undemanding in care and very beautiful, however, they require a good illumination of the room. For winter, the plant needs to be moved to a cool place with a temperature of + 10-16 ° C, and if the temperature is higher, then light it additionally.
Hoyi and cerhopes in the interior
The name "wax ivy", under which it isthe plant was known in the people, now almost not mentioned. Indeed, many cultivars have very diverse leaves and flowers, among which there are also slightly velvety and strongly pubescent, and quite shiny and thin. They do not resemble hoyu fleshy with its "waxy" leaves. Among all types of cephalopods, the most widespread is the Woods' toropogy, which is considered decorative. It is a liana with elegant small flowers and thickened leaves on threadlike thin shoots. The length of the weaves can reach 2.5 m. A particularly variegated variety having white-pink or bright pink spots depending on the illumination is especially effective. Less common is linear linear. It is no different from the previous one, except for the narrow shape of the sheet. Tseropegii love well-lit places with scattered bright light. To such houseplants are also episodes. These plants need to be placed in such a way as to admire the play of light and shadow on the cascades of leaves and flowers.
To the originals - cacti
The most beautifully flowering and unusual ampelfind it among the cacti. They need a lot of light, but they perfectly carry dry air. They can even be carried out in the summer on the balcony, providing only a slight shade from direct sunlight. They easily carry drafts, temperature changes, do not require frequent watering. But if you want them to bloom, then they need a rest period in winter with reduced watering and a temperature of + 8-15 ° C. Along with the already widespread ripsalidopsis, epiphyllum, slumberberger, apocractus, ripsalyses are becoming increasingly popular. Like all cacti, they do not have leaves, but the stems are the most diverse - faceted, cylindrical, winged, flat, up to twisted into a tailspin. The length of shoots in different species varies greatly, sometimes reaching one and a half meters.
Ferns in the interior
Luxurious branched ferns with carved,openwork leaves are very popular, like a houseplant. The most common ferns are all species of the nephrolepis genus. Among them there are small, within half a meter, and large, capricious and not very much. For the cultivation of these indoor plants in the interior, one must choose those whose beautiful leaves arc hanging downwards. One of the most beautiful of them is the Verona variety with dissected drooping leaves, and the most unpretentious is the nephrolepsis sublime. Large copies of nephrolepis should not be raised above the floor more than a half to two meters. So it will be easier for them to look after them. Exotic fern platitserium first grown on loose substrates in pots, and then transplanted into blocks of twigs or driftwood, laying under the roots of peat or moss. Plants are attached to the block with a net or line. Watering is carried out by immersing the plant in a container of water. You can "bathe" it in the bathroom, pouring a few liters of water on it. After such bathing, the plant should be left in the bathroom, so that the glasses are superfluous, and then the fern is returned to its place. Such epiphytic species of fern, such as davallia, ligodium and polypodium, are also good as ampel plants in the interior. They look especially beautiful in the baskets. They are not capricious, but with careful care they feel much better. Do not forget that in epiphytic baskets the substrate dries quickly, so you need to monitor its moisture content. The necessary humidity is provided by spraying.
To collectors for a note
On the shelves at the top you can grow some kinds offamily gesnerievyh. The most popular of them are the Senpolia. But for the upper cultivation, not ordinary standard rosettes with a shortened stem, but those that hang from the flowerpot by a quarter of a meter or more, are suitable. If we talk about flowering ampel plants, then the epics are the most elegant of them. Such houseplants in the interior of the apartment look great. Beautifully painted, sometimes with a folded surface, the velvety leaves brightly shine in the sun or shimmer and flicker under diffuse illumination. Magnificent and alsobia nail-colored. Small dark green rosettes of small velvety leaves and large white flowers of tubular form with fringe on the petals immediately attract attention. Another representative of this species is the Columns and the Eschinanthus. But these are heavy and large plants that require reliable fastening. They are photophilous. On the western and eastern windows, these plants normally tolerate the sun's rays, but on the southern in the direct sun they can get burns. Eshinanthus differ from the columus by smoother and larger leaves, and also by the fact that the flowers are tied only at the top of the shoot, and not along the entire length of the whip. The shape of the flower also differs. At the Column, the petals of flowers seem to have merged into the "hood". In addition, eschinanthus are not capricious: they do not need a cool wintering for flowering. These houseplants in the interior do not need special care.
For non-standard conditions - gynur
Creeping and wattle guinea-worms have unusualpainted leaves, for which it is bred at home. But sometimes the gynur does not harmonize with the environment and against the background of flowery wallpaper and brown furniture looks like an inkblot. Fortunately, such indoor plants in the interior of the apartment look only on a light background. It can coexist in compositions with yellow-green and light-green foliage, as well as with plants of the same palette. Plants with large, fleshy leaves and bright flowers perfectly shade muhlenbeckia confused. Like the vignette in the text, she brings into the composition lightness and grace. Gynur very fond of light and easily tolerate even direct sunlight, provided good ventilation. Therefore, with the onset of summer and until the fall, they can decorate balcony compositions. But on the southern windowsill in the summer they are too hot - do not keep them at this time near the glass. A pot with a plant can be put on a hanging shelf that hangs at the window from the ceiling. With such a successful arrangement, the plants will not overheat and do not interfere with closing the curtains. Ginura, in principle, normally feels and in partial shade, but then it ceases to bloom and is strongly stretched.
Needles in the house
Among ampelnye there are plants that possessall useful properties of coniferous trees. For example, the springs produce oxygen ions, phytocyanids, purify the air and are less demanding than junipers, cypresses and cryptomeria to the conditions of detention. At home, only a few species are grown. Nogoplodnik large-leaf, so that its shoots hang down, it is necessary to form a cascade specifically. But a fine or, as it is called, the ampel branch and the stem without the support themselves hang down.
Other methods of containing ampel plants
For the winter, many potted plants move withbalconies on the windowsills, but there they sometimes catastrophically do not have enough space. Instead of putting them close to each other, place these houseplants on beautiful shelves and stands or just hang on the wall. On a window sill, located above a heating battery, from which a stream of dry hot air rises, uncomfortable plants such as columbine, hoya and cissus feel uncomfortable. From the dry air, the edges and tips of the leaves become brown. These plants should be placed near the window, for example, on a columnar jardiniere, on a shelf or in a ring-holder attached to a wall. Be sure to ensure that pots with plants have been installed firmly. If a heavy plant with a pot falls from the wall or from the shelf, it will disappear and it can damage interior objects. Ways to keep ampel plants have already been invented a lot. One of them - the content on the stands - is very effective, although it eats up space. As attention will involuntarily be delayed and on the stand, it must be impeccable. These supports can be placed wherever you like and where they do not violate the harmony of style and interior space. If you put the stand in a very lit place, then you can place the guerillas of Gerrein and Rowley - charming green beads on thin stems. On a stand-alone metal jardiniere, the eschinanthus will not suffer from the flow of dry, hot air rising from the radiator's battery, and therefore it will delight you with a lush blossom. Buying flower stands in the form of a column so that they have a wide, stable base. Weaved wicker willows or pottery made from pottery will help to very successfully attach your amp pet on the wall in any place, and the traditional metal wall basket in the style of antique will come in handy not only for the ampel. In it you can place a composition of dried flowers. In order not to spoil the walls, put a liner in the basket of waterproof material or put the plant in it directly in the pot. Wooden shelves with beautiful carvings - an excellent option for placing in the house of ampel plants, which do not need bright lighting, for example, ivy. And stationary metal structures will house a few plants in small pots. Beautiful forged shelves can be fixed not only on the wall, but also on the window or on the ceiling. Among ampelnyh plants chlorophytum, perhaps, the most unpretentious. Even in poorly lit rooms, chlorophytum manages to feel excellently and acquires a lot of charming children. The daughter sockets hang down amusingly on a long mustache. If the children are dug in the pots prepared under the stand with chlorophytum, then you will have a magnificent composition resembling a green waterfall. And after three or four weeks, the umbilical cord that connects the "baby" to the mother plant can be cut off, and then you will receive several new plants to decorate your own home.
