All the lianas have a lot of things among themselves, however, they differ from each other of the average length of the stems, the absence or availability of colors, their size and painting, the rules of care.

About what is Liana, you will learn in this article.

General description of the plant

Liana are one of the fairly interesting forms of plants. They are called different plantswhose stalks are they have a property.

The Liana family represent plants that can be grassy, \u200b\u200bwith thin and sufficiently weak annual or perennial stems, as well as woody, with fallen or evergreen leaves.

All varieties of this plant cannot independently hold on to the air, so they need the mandatory presence of a vertical support, along which they easily rise up using their bars, mustaches or apparent roots.

It is on the Liana support that the leaves are developing with flowers.

Most often, the Liana is found in the areas of rainforest, plants are wrapped around the tree trunks, clinging to the boron with the help of suckers and mustaches. In this way, they can transfer their curly branches from one tree to another Forming as a result of this practically impassable thicket.

However, in conditions of moderate climate, they are much less likely and exclusively in the form of decorative plants, so it is impossible to observe how these plants give the landscape characteristic featuresas in tropical areas.

As for the anatomical and morphological features Lian, they have a sufficiently large number. This is caused by a variety of natural conditions and ways of their lives. So, for example, in many species after germination of a stem from the seed, suckers and musty begin to appear, and only then leaves.

If we consider the lianas by the method of their attachment to the vertical support, several groups of these plants can be distinguished:

1. Liana, which are attached using the mustache - Brionium, or grapes.
2. Liana, using such special bodies as suction cups, - ivy can be squeezed to the surface of the vertical support, using special short roots that grow from the lower parts of its branches.
3. Liana, who have completely absent any special attachments, However, their flexible stems can be accused around the trunks of trees or other different supports - baskets or hops.
4. Lianov who do not have any special attachment bodies, Keep their stems between the trees branches due to the fact that they are based on their spines or needles, side branches and other parts, are different types of palm trees.

Almost all varieties of Lian are inhabitants of warm tropical areas with high humidity.

REFERENCE! Lian rigs quickly enough, they are easily multiplied by shifting and are well rooted in soils.

These characteristics determine the wide popularity of plants among the flower products of many countries.

Nevertheless, despite the significant similarity of the number common characteristicsLiana is considered fairly different: perennial and annual, leaf fall and evergreen, with herbaceous or woody stem.

Home care

Most varieties of Lian, who are intended for growing in room conditions, are perennial and evergreen plants. Such a feature is explained mainly to the fact that no one likes to look at anyone during the cold season, but completely naked stem.

According to the method of fastening the Liana divide on curly, Corneased, BUY and ECONGITY. Most often as indoor plants It is curly because their shoots have the ability to spin around the vertical support, while forming an attractive plant having an original spiral form.

To create a beautiful "design" it is necessary to ensure permanent and, most importantly, correct care For Liana.

Humidity

All types of Lian combines one common feature - they need air every day with increased level humidity and arrival of scattered light.

The straight sun rays have a detrimental effect on the plant, because on its leaves traces of burns may appear.

And the cultivation of a flower at low humidity becomes the reason that the luxurious, covered stem becomes completely naked, while maintaining just a couple of decrepid leaves.

Lighting

The predominant part of the rooms of the room Lian prefers to be in a half, and some in a slight shading. Despite this, some need more bright lighting: Cissor with Singery, Singonium SzindapSus.

IMPORTANT! Such a light should not fall on the plant directly.

In addition, a pot with a flower must be regularly rotated around its axis, so that Liana receives from all sides about the same share of light.Otherwise, it will constantly reach only in one direction, which will make it curve.

Temperature

It is also necessary to take care of the creation and conditions such as constant ventilation, moderate air temperature and moisturizing.

ATTENTION! In the cold season, it is not recommended to keep a pot with a liana to the room, where the air temperature is below 16 ° C.

Therefore, if necessary, an additional heater should be used, which should be at some distance from the flower.

IN summer season optimal temperature For the plant is considered 20-22 ° C. If the indicators on the thermometer rise above, the plant must be constantly sprayed with cool water. And in winter it is necessary to take to moisturize the leaves only warm water.

Watering

You should not overcoat the ground, because near the stem, it can remain humid enough for a long time.

Do not water room species Lian. cold water - This can lead to the disease and rot the root system.

In the event that the room is installed heating systemwhich greatly heats the air, it is better to abandon the cultivation of indoor Liana because in such an apartment the plant will constantly hurt due to lack of humidity.

Fresh air favorably affects absolutely all types of Lian, however do not allow drafts, So that cool air flows do not clutch the curly flower.

In addition, it is necessary to take care of the shower for the plant to ensure minimum once a month. Thanks to this procedure, the layer of dust can be washed away from its leaves, because it is difficult to remove by wet wiping.

Otherwise, liana can suffer greatly from the so-called paouth tick.

REFERENCE! A little warm water in the shower you need to let a weak pressure in order not to break thin shoots or leaves.

Transfer

No less important item is a plants transplantation. If necessary, in a larger than Liano, it is recommended not to replant, but carefully translated along with a lore earth - this will avoid possible injury to the root plant of the plant.

In addition, it needs to be kept very carefully, not to pull too much and not to squeeze so that the shoots of Liana are not broken. Many flower products advise this procedure with an assistant.

Soil, soil

Liana needs not only in fertile, but also in fairly light soil, which is characterized either neutral or slightly acidic reaction.

For its fertilizer, various ready-made mixtures are often used.

Also for this you can prepare a special mixture and independently by connecting the leaf, turf and humid land.

Soil in the pot need to regularly loose with a long thin stick, In order for the plant to be easier to absorb water and useful substances from it, and the roots could "breathe."

From time to time, Liana should be picked up a cow, diluted in ordinary water in the proportion of 1:10, or complex mineral fertilizers.

Supports for Lian.

To the green curly plant to decorate the interior of the house and round year Pleased with her eyes, it is necessary to give the time to give him the direction and form the exterior.

Especially for this you need to take care of the presence of a wall or pot support. Liana and herself can form their crown, the fat vertical support, however better results it is better to quit it on the top shoots.

Such a procedure contributes to the emergence and intensive growth of lateral processes. In order for the basic branch-whip to get long, it needs to constantly wrap around the support, fixing with small clothespins. If timely remove unnecessary mustache, then Liana will not independently change the direction of its growth.

Trimming

In order to rejuvenate the Liana, it is necessary to gently cut off the top cuttings with the leaves and then root.

It should be remembered that it is necessary to cut the structures of the shoots nearly half: it will be better branching.

To prevent infection with various infections, each slice p recomprehensible to treat a weak solution of manganese.

Reproduction

For reproduction of room lianas, you can use the top stalk, which was cut from the old plant. Sometimes it is put in water so that he began to start root. However, most of her species have air roots, and due to this cutlets, it is possible to boil into the pot with a prepared soil during the cut.

Also, some species of this plant breed and seeds, such as passiflora. In some cases, the searition of Lian is practiced by dividing the bush.

Indeed, needing to support, they "go" on any subject suitable for this purpose: wood, shrub, elevation.

Liana Plant Description

Lianam is enough to root enough, find a support, like their flexible, rapidly growing shoots will be ascended to a height of up to 25 m or woven a horizontal carpet of the lush greenery. Liana is wonderfully combined with other plants, such as coniferous.

They climb up either spread over the surface with their special devices: suckers, bars, assholes, apparent roots.
Some do not have special fastening bodies, but in a special way the stems form, blaming around the support or relying on it with their side branches, hold over the heels of needles, spiners, spikes, even the input of stalks and leaves.

Liana are:
annual and perennial
grassy and rustic,
Evergreen and leaf falling.

Some of them are amazed by their abundant exotic flowers, others do not bloom, but they are pleased with a wide range of leaves coloring. Currently, our planet is more than 2.2 thousand species of Lian belonging to various families.

Spread

They are common throughout the globe, with the exception of polar regions, alpine zones of mountains, steppes and deserts, where climatic conditions are unfavorable for the development of long stems in plants.

Most of all Lian, both in terms of species and distribution, is available in areas with a tropical and subtropical climate, especially in tropical wet forests: 2000 types of Lian grows in the tropics, and in countries with a temperate climate of only 200 species.

In natural conditions, Cornevia Liana is fixed behind the rocks and bark of trees. This group includes Singonium, Ils, Singonium, Philodendron, Ficus rooting and creeping, and also one of the few Cactus-Lian - Selenicereus or "Queen of the Night."

Curly lianas, widespread in nature, wrap the support of the vintage, forming a stretched spiral. The growing shoots of the climbing Lian in search of supports make a circular movement, whining each other in its absence. Curving Lianam include Stefanotis, Monster, Pepper, Tunberg, etc.
Liana, which do not have special bodies for attachment and are not charging around the support, are called resting. They are held for the branches of other plants, relying on them with spikes, spiners, downsion or side shoots, bent at right angles. This group belongs such species like plenty roses, bougainvillee.

Employed lianas are fixed on the support with special bodies - umpsies with high sensitivity. They wrap up and pulling up shoots, twist in the spiral. On the mustache of some types of Lian there are suckers that distinguish the adhesive and are able to keep the plant even on such a smooth surface as glass. The aggliest lio group includes Cissor, Passiflora, Tetrastigm.
