Creeper is a common climbing plant that is widely used in landscaping and interior decoration because of its ability to climb and grow on vertical surfaces such as walls and tree trunks. This paper will focus on the growth environment, growth Xi, and growth process of creeper, so as to better understand the growth characteristics and cultivation points of this plant.
First, the growth environment.
Creepers are native to East Asia, mainly in southern China, Japan, the Korean Peninsula and other places. It prefers to grow in a humid, semi-shady environment, with a suitable growth temperature of 15 -25 and an optimal growth temperature of 18 -20. In hot, dry environments, creepers can suffer from growth and are prone to wilting or slow growth.
Creepers are not very demanding on the soil and are more adaptable, but prefer to grow in fertile, well-drained soil. In cultivation, you can choose to mix materials such as humus, garden soil and river sand to ensure the fertility and air permeability of the soil.
2. Growth Xi.
1.Climb and grow.
The creeper is a climbing plant whose stems and leaves can climb and grow on vertical surfaces. Its stem is very long, which can reach more than 10 meters, and there are many small roots on the surface of the stem, which can be firmly attached to the surface of walls, tree trunks, etc. The leaves are heart-shaped or palm-shaped, with a smooth leaf surface and a long, tough petiole that can withstand the weight of the stem.
2.Nutrient uptake.
Creepers have a well-developed root system that can absorb nutrients and water from the soil. In the process of climbing and growing, the stems and leaves of the creeper can also absorb carbon dioxide from the air through the stomata and carry out photosynthesis to make their own nutrients.
3.Mode of reproduction.
There are two main breeding methods of creepers: seed propagation and cuttings propagation. Seed propagation requires waiting until the fruit is ripe to pick the seeds, and then go through the process of germination and transplanting to obtain new plants. Cuttings propagation, on the other hand, involves inserting stems, leaves, or buds into the soil, and with proper management and maintenance, new plants can be grown.
3. Growth process.
1.Early stage of growth.
Creeper seeds germinate and grow seedlings, which grow at a slower rate and require proper light and water, as well as fertilizer supplementation. In the early stages of growth, seedlings can be transplanted into fertile soil, keep the soil moist, and fertilize properly to promote the growth of seedlings.
2.Mid-growth.
When the creeper's stem grows to a certain length, it will begin to climb and grow. During the climbing process, it is necessary to pay attention to the direction of the stems and leaves so that they can climb smoothly. At the same time, it is also necessary to prune the stems and leaves properly to control the growth direction and morphology of the plant.
3.Late growth.
When the creeper's stem grows to a certain length, it will begin to flower. Creeper flowers are small and inconspicuous, generally white or yellowish in color. At the end of the flowering period, creepers produce fruits that contain seeds that can be used for reproduction.
Fourth, the key points of cultivation.
1.Choose the right growing environment.
Creepers prefer to grow in moist, semi-shady environments and need to maintain the right temperature and humidity. When cultivating, a suitable growing environment should be selected, such as indoor walls, outdoor trunks, etc.
2.Provide suitable soil and nutrients.
Creepers do not have high requirements for soil, but they need to ensure that the soil is fertile and well-drained. When cultivating, you can choose to mix materials such as humus, garden soil and river sand to provide a suitable soil environment. At the same time, it is also necessary to fertilize at the right time to supply the plants with the nutrients they need.
3.Control growth direction and morphology.
Creeper stems and leaves can grow to a long length, but need to be pruned at the right time to control the direction and morphology of the plant. When pruning, care should be taken not to over-prune so as not to affect the growth and health of the plant.
4.Watering and spraying at the right time.
Creepers need to maintain the right humidity, so they need to be watered and sprayed at the right time. In dry weather, the frequency of watering should be increased appropriately to keep the soil moist.
In short, the creeper is a climbing plant with unique growth Xi and high ornamental value, and its growth process needs to pay attention to the key points such as suitable growth environment, providing suitable soil and nutrients, controlling the growth direction and morphology, timely watering and spraying. Through reasonable cultivation and management, creepers can play a greater role in landscaping and interior decoration. Autumn and Winter Check-in Challenge
