With the necessary information at hand, it will not be difficult for you to compose compositions from plants that need similar conditions. The layout of different types will depend on individual taste and choice, but there are some rules for a successful and comfortable arrangement for plants in space. For example, lianas need supports in the form of a lattice, a pergola, a "hut" made of dried willow or deer twigs, bamboo trellises. Tillandsia lives well on snags suspended high. To accommodate other ampel species, baskets are used, special plastic ampels - round or with a flat facade for fastening to the wall. Large-sized species are usually placed on a low stand with wheels on the floor. On the earthen surface of tub plants, dwarf and undersized species (zebrina, asparagus, balsam) take root well.They can be placed in their own pots or planted from a common tub.

Miniature species should be close to the "viewer" so that graceful leaves and flowers can be seen. If there is enough space, large vases-pots are used, which are filled from below with drainage material (expanded clay, coconut fiber), covered with lutrasil, then an earthen mixture filled with complex fertilizers is poured, it is better for a long-term effect (AVA with granules without nitrogen and chlorine, AVA with nitrogen - option of full long-acting fertilizer in powder form, or AVA-N with nitrogen in capsules according to the instructions in accordance with the volume of the dish). AVA granules will nourish the plants for two years, but you will need to periodically during the season give liquid nitrogen or complex fertilizing with nitrogen - every two weeks. Powdered forms of AVA are valid for three months, after which the feeding is repeated.If in the autumn-winter period your plants receive additional lighting, then in September-October you can add a mini-dose of AVA powder with nitrogen to the soil of potted flowers, especially decorative deciduous ones (from a third to half a teaspoon per pot with a diameter of 9-15 cm).

Temperature + 22 … + 25 ° С:

There are many especially ornate tropical plants, which throughout the year need an even warm and humid atmosphere of life, without drafts, at + 20 … + 24 ° C of air and soil. It's not an easy task, and maybe that's why they rarely succeed in room culture. I would like to name some species by name and draw the attention of flower growers to them. One of these types is variegated codiaum with brightly colored leathery leaves of various shapes. The old name of this genus is croton. Variegated forms of plants need bright lighting, but not by direct rays of the sun, and in winter they retain their beauty with additional lighting with special lamps. Red, orange, yellow colors in combination with the green part of the leaves make these flowers surprisingly elegant and cheerful. In addition, the shape of the leaves can be the most unexpected:from oval to lanceolate, almost feathery, oak-shaped, hand-cut, while with golden splashes, spots, colored veins on a green background of a leaf blade, or, conversely, green spots and splashes on a golden leaf.

Akalifa Vilkeza is distinguished by an unexpected color of leaves and a variety of forms: with a green leaf blade, its edge is creamy-whitish in spots; with an olive-brown leaf, its edges are pink-red; the most decorative form is considered to be the form with large bronze-green leaves with orange and red spots.

One of the brightest, exquisitely colored decorative deciduous large-leaved plants is the bicolor caladium. During the spring-summer growing season, the temperature of the content of these luxurious plants should not be lower than + 24 … + 26 ° С with high air humidity, and the winter period of pronounced dormancy (without leaves) takes place at + 18 … + 20 ° С (in winter, caladium tubers are kept in wet peat). You can admire these masterpieces of the flora in the aquatic greenhouse of the Botanical Garden, where the optimal conditions for keeping caladiums are harmoniously combined. However, if you wish, you can create a home version of the tropics for an exquisite collection of beautiful plants.

There are dozens of varieties of caladium with mesmerizingly beautiful leaves painted with scarlet, pink, silver colors combined with a basic green tone, the leaf painting is picturesque and whimsical - a large array of bright crimson paint or thin pink, scarlet along the veins; red, pink spots, splashes, colored border, smooth transitions from one paint to another. These are real jewels among the best types of decorative foliage plants for the home and winter garden.
