Based on the summary of the environmental factors of family roof garden, this paper puts forward the layout of roof garden, the form of plant planting, the principle of plant selection and the method of maintenance and management. in order to provide reference for the construction of family roof garden.

Key words: family roof garden; plant selection; planting and conservation management in the 21st century, due to the continuous development of urbanization, the population is becoming more dense, and modern architecture is also increasing. With the increase of buildings, the area of green space decreases sharply, and the corresponding environmental conditions are getting worse and worse, resulting in people's attention to the environment to an unprecedented degree. Roof greening is of great significance to increase the area of urban green space, improve the living environment and improve the quality of life. In this case, buying or building a roof garden has become a fashion, and how to create a good roof garden is the goal that people pursue. Because of the small area of the family-style roof garden, the protagonist of the family-style roof garden should be green plants. It can produce oxygen, purify the air, adjust the air temperature and humidity, thus creating a good ecological environment; the gas it emits has bactericidal effect, which is very beneficial to people's physical and mental health; it also has many functions for buildings, such as heat insulation, sound insulation and noise reduction, as well as protecting waterproof layer and cover structure, so it is known as "living building material". 1. Principle of plant selection 1.1 Dwarf shrubs and herbs with strong drought and cold tolerance should be selected because the roof garden has high temperature, strong wind, poor soil moisture retention in summer and poor thermal insulation in winter, so plants with strong drought and cold resistance should be selected. At the same time, considering the special geographical environment and load-bearing requirements of the roof, attention should be paid to the selection of short shrubs and herbaceous plants to facilitate plant transportation, planting and management. 1.2 choose positive and barren-tolerant shallow root plants in most parts of the roof garden for all-day direct sunlight and high light intensity, so plants should choose positive plants as far as possible, but in some specific small environments, such as under the flower rack or near the wall, the sunshine time is relatively short, so some semi-positive plant species can be selected appropriately to enrich the plant varieties in the roof garden, and the planting layer on the roof is thin. In order to prevent the erosion of the root system to the roof structure, the plants with shallow roots should be selected as far as possible. As the application of fertilizer will affect the sanitary condition of the surrounding environment, the roof garden should plant barren-tolerant plant species as far as possible. 1.3 the selection of wind-resistant, not easy to lodge, water-resistant plant species is generally larger than the ground over the roof, especially in the rainy season or when there is a typhoon, the wind and rain will do the greatest harm to the survival of plants, plus the roof planting layer is thin, the water storage performance of the soil is poor, in the event of heavy rain, it is easy to cause short-term stagnant water, so as far as possible to choose some wind-resistant, not easy to lodging, at the same time can withstand short-term stagnant water plants. 1.4 the purpose of building a roof garden by selecting plants that are mainly evergreen and can survive in the open field in winter is to increase the green area of the city and beautify the "fifth facade". The plants in the roof garden should be evergreen as far as possible, and beautiful varieties of leaf shape and plant shape should be used. In order to make the roof garden more colorful and reflect the seasonal changes of the garden, some colored leaf trees can be planted appropriately; in addition, if conditions permit, some seasonal flowers of potted plants can be arranged to make the garden have flowers in the four seasons. 1.5 selection of native plants, appropriate introduction of new varieties of green native plants have a high degree of adaptability to the local climate, in the relatively harsh environment of the roof garden, the selection of native plants can get twice the result with half the effort, taking into account the small area of the roof garden, in order to make it more exquisite, we can choose some new varieties with higher ornamental value to improve the quality of the roof garden. 2. Commonly used plant species roof greening should determine the plant materials used according to the time and place. Flowering shrubs are the main body of the roof garden, and the collocation of flowers in the four seasons should be realized as far as possible. Such as: spring elm leaf plum, spring cuckoo, spring primrose, gardenia, peach blossom, cherry blossom, stick stem begonia, summer crape myrtle, summer cuckoo, yellow magnolia, Michelia, pomegranate, autumn begonia, chrysanthemum, sweet-scented osmanthus, winter wax plum, camellia, tea plum. Herbal flowers can be selected with yellow, daisy, peony, Phoenix tail, marigold, chrysanthemum, cockscomb, Changxia carnation and so on. Aquatic plants include water bamboo, lotus, water lily, water chestnut, water hyacinth and so on. In addition to considering the collocation of flowers in the four seasons, we should also pay attention to the selection of trees according to seasonal changes. depending on the growth conditions, you can choose Magnolia, Gardenia jasminoides, dragon cypress ball, yellow poplar ball, purple leaf plum, golden branch locust, kumquat, sweet-scented osmanthus, bamboo and other plants; use more tree species with high ornamental value and moral meaning, such as beautiful branches and leaves, red maple, red maple, purple leaf Photinia; elegant cycads, Canadian jujube Phoenix tail bamboo with whirling branches and leaves; elegant plum, orchid, pine, etc. Edge plants are widely used in roof gardens, planting some edge plants around the flower bed or under trees and shrubs, but also making full use of the corners of the altar. Edge plants can be used Ophiopogon japonicus, flat bamboo leaves, sunflower, lobular privet, Ruo bamboo and so on, so as to avoid the effect of bottom layer and corner, leaving less bare soil and blank. The wall greening of the roof garden usually uses tendrils, thorns and other adsorption, winding, climbing plants, so that it grows rapidly on a variety of vertical walls, such as Parthenocissus, wisteria, ivy, Lingxiao and Fufang vine, both cheap and good quality, and a certain ornamental, can be used as the first choice. You can also choose other flowers and plants to hang the wall, such as wisteria, climbing vine rose, wood incense, wood, morning glory, iris, or fruits and vegetables such as grapes, green vegetables, pumpkin, towel gourd, bergamot gourd and so on. Turfgrass and ground cover are the most widely used species in roof gardens, such as tall fescue, auspicious grass, Ophiopogon, onion orchid, horseshoe stem, cherry, sunflower, gold everywhere, chamomile, Lantana, red and green grass, hanging bamboo plum, Phoenix tail pearl and so on. In addition, many perennial root plants are good varieties covered by the ground, such as safflower, small elm, rich grass, carnation and so on. If ingenious collocation and reasonable organization, it can create a bright and lively bottom space. In addition to planting the above plants, the roof garden often uses eaves, two canopy sloping roofs, flat roofs and trapezoidal roofs for plant decoration. According to different planting forms, potted flowers, leaves and fruits are often used, such as potted rose, oleander, pyracantha, sweet-scented osmanthus, colored leaf taro, kumquat, etc., hollow bricks can also be used to make various flower grooves with high 25cm, lined with thick plastic film, high to the edge of the groove, with drainage holes at the bottom, and filled with culture medium in the flower trough, planting all kinds of plants and flowers, such as red, impatiens, chrysanthemum, hundred-day grass, petunia and so on. You can also plant all kinds of woody flowers, and you can also use buckets or large pots to plant woody flowers. In the roof greening design, priority should also be given to mulberry, figs, palms, Euonymus tomentosa, hibiscus, jasmine, roses, guava, Haitong, sweet-scented osmanthus and other varieties with strong resistance to pollution. 3. Planting, maintenance and management planting substrate is the soil layer on which roofing plants grow. It is required that the selected planting substrate should have the properties of light weight, non-hardening, water and fertilizer conservation, suitable for plant cultivation and growth, simple construction, economic and environmental protection and so on. Generally, planting soil, peat, sawdust, expanded vermiculite, expanded perlite, fine sand and fermented animal manure and other materials can be mixed and prepared according to a certain proportion. The thickness of the planting layer in the roof garden generally depends on the type of plant. General turf and other low ground cover plants, cultivated soil deep 16cm, shrubs deep 40~50cm, trees deep 75~80cm. The above thickness can only meet the minimum soil conditions needed for its survival and breeding period, so the thickness of the planting layer should be greater than this minimum. There is a slope transition between the grass and the shrubs. After the roof garden is completed, whether it can play its due role, it is necessary to pay attention to plant growth and take timely measures for poor growth plants; pay attention to water and fertilizer, watering frequently and less watering, often pruning, cleaning up dead branches and leaves in time, pay attention to drainage, in case the system is blocked, grass flowers should be updated in time, so as not to affect the overall image. Indoor flowers fengshui indoor fengshui plants generally speaking, indoor fengshui plants are some upward growth of bamboo, wood and other plants, there is a hard dry plant such as evergreen, rich bamboo and so on is more appropriate, on behalf of making a fortune Withered and yellow plants and climbing vines are not suitable to be planted in the house as fengshui plants.

People who do business can put evergreen plants in places where money often goes in and out, such as accounting departments, cash registers, safes and so on. Ordinary clerks put small potted plants of green bamboo on the table to seek fame. Money tree is a perennial evergreen herb, is a very rare foliage plant with underground tubers, native to tropical Africa. China was introduced from the Netherlands in 1997 and appeared in Fang Village and Shunde Chen Village in Guangzhou. The leaves of the money tree are thick and bright, just like a string of coins.
