Indoor vines: photos and names This page contains indoor vines: photos and names of plants that can be used indoors for landscaping. The indoor liana shown in the photo is shown in various options for its use and development period. Many species are very impressive in size. There are curly and flowering types of indoor vines that help carry out landscaping.

Houseplants lianas philodendron (PHILODENDRON)

The leathery leaves that the philodendron houseplants possess vary greatly in shape, color, and texture. Climbing Philodendron (Philodendron scandens) is the easiest to grow; its thin stems have leaves 8-12 cm in size. Large-leaved philodendrons usually have arrow-shaped leaves 15-40 cm in size with a glossy surface.

Noteworthy are F. spear (P. hastatum), F. reddening (P erubescens) and its hybrids, velvety F. golden-black (P. melanochrysum) and variegated F. Ilsemann (P ilsemannii). F. bipinnate (P. bipinnatifidum), which is not a liana, grows up to 2,5 m or more.

The most popular is the climbing philodendron, which is compact enough even for a small room. Aerial roots are a feature of these plants – direct them into the soil to provide moisture to the upper leaves. They will need a moss stick. Most philodendrons that are not vines are capable of growing into huge plants and are therefore not suitable for a typical home.

Care

Temperature: Moderate – at least 13 Β° C in winter.

Shine: A moderately lit area or partial shade is usually recommended – P scandens can grow in shade. Protect from direct sunlight.

Watering: Water thoroughly and regularly β€” keep the soil slightly moist during the winter.

Air humidity: Spray the foliage regularly.

Transfer: Repot every two to three years in the spring.

Reproduction: Stem cuttings in summer.

Indoor vines syngonium (SYNGONIUM): care

An unusual feature of this plant is the change in the shape of the leaves with age. Young leaves are arrow-shaped, their variegation is at the very peak of brightness. Later, the plant takes on a liana-like shape, and the leaves become lobed. Aerial roots appear and the moss stick will provide them with excellent support.

Indoor flowers blooming creepers – tunbergia (THUNBERGIA)

Indoor vines: photos and namesIndoor vines: photos and names

Indoor flowers blooming vines are represented by several species, but tunbergia deserves special attention. A few seeds, sown in early spring, will provide enough ThUNBERGIA plants to cover a screen or trellis with climbing stems up to 2 m long. When grown as a vine, support is required; it can also be grown as an ampelous plant in hanging baskets. Pinch the tips of young shoots. Remove dead flowers before they form seeds.

Indoor climbing vines – ivy

Ivy are excellent indoor climbing vines and ampelous plants; a vigorous variety of common ivy can quickly cover bare surfaces. The stems will cling to tree, wallpaper, etc. The slowly growing P. Canary does not cling on its own, so it needs support.
