What are the characteristics of Parthenocissus? How to grow well?

We often see green plants growing on the walls of houses in the countryside, which is what we call Parthenocissus, which not only plays a role in embellishing the walls, but also plays a role in sunscreen. What are the characteristics of Parthenocissus? How to grow well?

First, what are the characteristics of Parthenocissus?

Parthenocissus parthenocissus is the preferred plant for vertical greening. Vertical greening, also known as climbing greening, is a greening way that uses climbing plants to climb and grow to buildings or scaffolding. Parthenocissus is the most commonly used and ideal climbing plant, it relies on suckers to climb up the wall. It has been planted for a long time, and the dense green leaves cover the outer walls of the building, just like wearing green clothes. In spring, Parthenocissus grows lush; in summer, it blossoms yellowish green; in autumn, its leaves turn orange, which makes the color of the building varied. In addition to Parthenocissus, morning glory and wisteria can also be used for vertical greening.

Dense branches and leaves in summer, often climbing on walls or rocks, suitable for planting house walls, walls, garden entrances, bridgehead stones, and so on. Can be used for greening house walls, park rocks, not only can beautify the environment, but also can cool down, regulate the air, reduce noise.

Due to the dense stems and leaves of Parthenocissus, covering on the wall of the house, it can not only block the strong sunlight, but also reduce the indoor temperature because of the air flow between the leaves and the wall. As a barrier, it can absorb not only noise in the environment, but also flying dust. Parthenocissus tendril sucker can also absorb water from the wall, helping to dry wet houses, and dry season, can increase humidity.

Second, how does Parthenocissus grow well?

1. Seed treatment: the berries were harvested immediately when the berries were ripe in September, washed and dried, disinfected the surface with 0.05% carbendazim solution, drained and stored in wet sand. In the first ten days of March of the following year, soak the seeds in 45 ℃ warm water for two days, change water twice a day, then mix well with wet sand seeds at 2:1, place them in a place where the sun is sheltered from the wind, cover with straw bags, and often spray fine water to keep moist. After about 20 days, the seeds can be sown when 20% of the seeds are exposed.

2. Sowing method: before sowing Parthenocissus seeds, the seeding bed was leveled, watered thoroughly, the seeds and sand were sown on the bed together, the sowing amount was 100 grams per square meter, covered with 1 cm thick humus soil under the forest, and covered with a small arch sheet. covered with polyethylene plastic film.

3. Seedling management: after the cotyledons of Parthenocissus are unearthed, the film should be covered during the day and night on sunny days and covered all day on rainy days, so as to improve the soil temperature, promote the emergence of seedlings neatly, and prevent the harm of beetles. In addition, always sprinkle water to keep the soil moist.

4. Transplanting management: after spreading three true leaves of Parthenocissus parthenocissus, choose cloudy days or after 03:00 in the afternoon, transplant at a density of 1 × 1 foot. Immediately after planting, pour clear fecal water (1:8) once. Do not accumulate water for too long in the rainy season. Two months later, the vine is generally more than 60 centimeters long, and the heart can be picked for the first time to prevent the vines from winding around each other and to make the vines sturdy. Pick the heart once a month, combined with supplementary care. Take the above measures, to the deciduous period, the average thickness of rattan seedlings can reach more than 0.5 cm, can be planted out of the nursery.

5. Rational fertilization: Parthenocissus can apply liquid fertilizer for 2 or 3 times during the growing period, and often hoe weeds and loosen the soil to avoid being submerged by grass and promote its healthy growth. For fear of waterlogging, we should pay attention to prevent the accumulation of water in the soil. Resistant to pruning, in the process of growth, the branches and vines of doors and windows can be trimmed according to conditions, so as to keep them clean, beautiful and convenient.
