Climbing plants



Much of the climbing ornamental flowering plants, their origin from tropical and subtropical regions worldwide. Therefore, these plants are sensitive to low temperatures and exceptional detail, described in the literature gardener as Frost Hardy, that is resistant to frost. Number of climbers, despite their origins in hot areas, will grow and fit the average Israeli winter without injury with green and pleasant and will sometimes bloom.

Some exampels for winter climbing israeli winter : Jasminum azoricum , Bougainvillea glabra , Pyrostegia venusta , Mansoa alliacea , Pentalinon luteum

cold resistance mechanism of these plants is by logging in hibernation. Plants and the leaves fall songs, in response to shorter day, and winter they are dormant. We call them the deciduous plants.

this plant group, suitable plant in areas where there is a cold winter such as Jerusalem, Safed or Mitzpe Ramon. When we plant plants of this group in the area where mild winters, such as the coastal plain, plant performance will be poor, and blooming will be partial.

vines are long, thin stems with usually no independent mechanical stability, but with a grip of other organs. branches usually thin and flexible. scion parts of climbers - stem and leaves - evolved the means to help grip, support or reliance. climbers that can reach long distances or great heights despite the "weakness." grip stems and leaves their job and support structure also changed.

because the source area characterized by trees and dense subtropical high, the investment in creating and adjusting means climbing stems and leaves is huge. For climbers missing resource is light. Where they sprout a unique niche, and other plants has not adjusted. They sprout in the shade of trees, and climb quickly into the light to perform photosynthesis. There are vines that grow well lit places, these usually do not climb high, naturally, but would stretch horizontally

among climbers has two multi-annual one, is evergreen and deciduous, herbaceous and woody have. Wide variety of climbers is reflected not only in various growth or distribution, but also typical of development biology and methods of reproduction. Depending on the type mechanisms, tend to divide the stem climber climbers, climbers leaves root climbers.

vines do not get materials from the plants they rely on them - the plants that support them, and such relations are not considered a relative "parasitism."

how they climb? climbing stems : Some plants have stems that are wound. This honeysuckle, beans, Thonbergy, Pnedorah others. Ivy held (Putuc) sprout roots grip the stem. These roots not real. short Buttons and strong grip edges.

vine stalks, and others are developing some fine structure, a fitness curled wires, those tendrils. Tendrils wrapped around the trunks, beams and fencing. Vine clinging tendrils and wrapped by grip pads at the tips

tendrils wrapped after contact with solid subject . This response is related to motility in plants takes place in situations (for example Response light). Leaves and stems and parts also are able to perform these movements. Initially, the movement of tendrils twisting movement - round tip tendrils into solid subject . Later spiraling tendrils wrapped around. Growth is differential. Cells very close and far from dated shorter. The result - curled spring stays in shape even after removal of the solid bone. Apparently the plant Auxen hormone, secreted in plants, role in the process of tumor cells varies.

interesting fact: in the northern hemisphere, all climbers wound counterclockwise, while the same species as they grow in the Southern Hemisphere, wound clockwise, and no exceptions. If we change the direction Halipup, climber can not change that we did but the new growth will return to the previous model. Most of the climbers, the first garden year will grow at a slow pace. This year they are based and subsequently grow at a vigorous, each according to his qualities.

building becomes part of the environment only after the plants grow on parts of it as free as they grow on the ground

smart planning of the garden - a classic super element green architecture is Wall vitrine South. It is based on the ingenious combination of two simple facts: the higher summer sun lower in the sky in winter, summer and winter blooming deciduous climbers are bald There is a vast global experience in this patent application adaptation to different conditions, is one of the most common methods for creating a so-called "passive climate", ie, planning has a major effect on temperature regulation at home, without any energy input. Vines are used to cover walls, shading pergolas, hide hazards or create aesthetic fence separates the yard .

buildings undoubtedly grow their roses or honeysuckle vine or talk to us more than buildings with blank walls and exposed. This in itself reason enough to plant clematis bar around the building, to make planters to encourage plant growth higher floors, and white bars complicate their plants can climb.
