Perennial vines - photos and names of climbing plants for the garden. How to find water on a site using dowsing Climbing vines the power of nature

The owner of a garden plot or a private house in a rural area is always faced with the question of the source of water. Experts know what difficulties you can encounter if you plan to equip a well or borehole. The task of searching for water hidden in the depths of the earth seems simple only at first glance. It is unknown whether there is water on the site and what its quality is. The ancient practice of dowsing can tell you in which direction to search.

Vine device

Dowsing, or dowsing, is a method of scanning an area using a vine—a freshly cut tree branch. The most suitable species is willow. Firstly, its branches are highly elastic. Secondly, willow is a very resilient tree, which indicates the strong energy of the plant. But if there are no willows growing nearby, then another tree with flexible branches will do. It is important that the branch is not brittle and bends easily.

To make a vine, you should select a forked branch and cut it just below the fork. You should get a slingshot that resembles the letter U. The recommended handle thickness is 8–12 millimeters and a length of 30–50 centimeters; the exact dimensions are selected according to the width of the operator’s shoulders.

Such a tool remains operational for 2-3 days. When a branch dries out and loses its firmness and elasticity, it makes no sense to use it for dowsing.

How to make a frame

In addition to the vine, you can use a dowsing frame made of metal wire to search for water in the area. Such an indicator is sold in stores specializing in esoteric items, but it is easy to make with your own hands. Since working with a pair of indicators shows more accurate results, it is advisable to make two identical bioframes.

  1. You will need two pieces of wire with a cross-section from two to five millimeters and a length of about 40 centimeters, two ballpoint pen housings. Experts recommend choosing a metal with the highest electrical conductivity, and therefore the most suitable materials for the frame would be copper, brass or aluminum. However, iron and steel wire will also work for this purpose.
  2. The rod should be bent at an angle of 90 degrees. The bend is at the point that divides the length of the wire in a ratio of 1:2.5.
  3. We insert the short end of the frame into the empty ballpoint pen housing. The frame is ready for use.

Where is water most often found?

A slice of soil is like a layer cake, with each layer represented by different rocks. Water, as a rule, lies at the boundary of layers. Depending on the depth, water resources are divided into the following categories:

  1. The groundwater. They are located at a distance of 4 to 5 meters from the surface of the earth. They are also called verkhovodka.
  2. A little deeper is the groundwater layer. The distance to the surface reaches 8–10 meters.
  3. Interstratal waters are located at a depth of 10 to 100 meters.
  4. And finally, artesian waters, which pass at depths of more than 100 meters. Let us immediately make a reservation that it will not be possible to detect such resources using dowsing.

Aquifer diagram

Sometimes the terrain itself gives clues that people are passing nearby. groundwater. By studying the relief and nature of vegetation, you can get an answer to how likely it is to find water underground.

  1. There is very little chance of detecting groundwater in hilly areas, especially at high points.
  2. There is also no point in looking for water if there are mouse holes or a colony of red ants on the site.
  3. A clear sign that groundwater is present is thick green grass during dry summers. It is also worth paying attention to mosquitoes and midges. These insects sense moisture and hover near it.
  4. The behavior of domestic animals also indicates where the underground source is hidden. Dogs prefer dry areas, and cats are drawn to areas under which waterways run.
  5. Plants can tell you how deep the aquifer is. Reed, horse sorrel and coltsfoot indicate a depth of 3 meters. Licorice and wormwood grow where the water is hidden 5 meters from the surface.
  6. Trees indicating a water vein include alder, willow or birch.
  7. The proximity of groundwater is indicated by some natural phenomena. For example, creeping fog in the evenings and heavy morning dew.

How to look for water correctly

The search for underground sources is carried out by hydrogeologists, who have in their arsenal scientifically based methods for detecting underground water layers.

Measurements of the electrical resistance of various soil layers allow a specialist to collect data on the basis of which he makes a forecast of the presence of groundwater in a given area. The analysis may give inaccurate results if there are railways and engineering communications: pipelines, power lines, telephone networks.

A more accurate, but more expensive method is auger drilling, carried out taking into account the hydrogeological map of the area.

Auger drilling

Finding water using frames or vines

Despite the fact that hydrogeologists have at their disposal modern methods search, the vine will be a good help for studying the area for the presence of water. And it is with its help that preliminary searches are carried out.

The principle is quite simple. Water always carries energy, and the vine will certainly react to this energy. In the neutral zone, where there are no underground flows, the vine will remain motionless. And at the point where the aquifer passes, we will notice the indicator moving up or down. The intensity of the deviation indicates the strength of the water flow and the thickness of the aquifer.

It is easier for a beginner to work with two metal frames. Moving slowly around the area, the operator monitors the rotation of the frames. In the neutral area, the frames maintain their original position (directed forward). If the frames begin to converge at some point, this means a reaction to the movement of water underground.

Finding water using a frame

Having marked the possible points of the presence of an aquifer on the ground, you can begin test drilling to verify the readings of the frame.

Samples of the detected water must be sent for examination to a laboratory, where specialists will evaluate its composition and quality.

In this video, a hydrogeologist will tell you how to properly look for water in the area:

When is the best time to dig a well?

So, the location of groundwater suitable for use has been discovered. However, you should not rush to equip a well or borehole.

Weather aspect

The fact is that the groundwater level is not constant. Depends on the time of year and precipitation level. If you dig a well during heavy rainfall, you will later find out that its depth is insufficient. In winter or during drought, groundwater may drop lower, and the well will stop producing water for you. Thus, there is no point in digging a well during the spring flood period or during a very rainy summer.

Astrological aspect

The waxing moon phase is ideal for constructing a well or borehole. The falling moon is unfavorable for this kind of work. Moreover, experts recommend clarifying in which zodiac sign the Moon is located. She must be in the element of Water, that is, in Cancer, Scorpio or Pisces.

Dowsing is not just about finding water

They allow you not only to search for water in your personal plot. They have a wide range of applications.

  1. In the distant past, vines were used in mining to discover ore deposits. Treasure hunters, armed with an indicator, tried.
  2. Archaeologists and historians will find the frame useful for searching for ancient burials and cultural monuments of the past. An authoritative expert on dowsing, A. Pluzhnikov, using a frame, recreated the exact layout of the ancient monastery.
  3. There are known cases when the bioenergy frame helped criminologists in investigating complicated cases, pointed to the criminal, and determined the location of missing people.
  4. During combat in Vietnam, the US Army used bioframes to clear plastic mines that could not be found with a conventional mine detector.
  5. Dowsing works effectively in identifying favorable and unfavorable areas of the terrain. This technique helps to choose the right place to build a house or when arranging furniture in an apartment. Areas with a positive energy background are ideal for relaxation. On the contrary, areas with pathogenic energy cause a deterioration in well-being, and with prolonged stay on them they become the cause of serious illnesses.
  6. Dowsing instruments will help not only in finding lost things, but also in determining the quality of food. On garden plot the most suitable places for planting.
  7. Traditional healers use frameworks to assess the general condition of the body and individual organs, and identify anomalies in the functioning of vital systems at a very early stage.
  8. For lovers of esotericism, the frame will provide a lot of detailed information about the aura, chakras and other subtle matters.

Summarize

Dowsing is a good tool for finding groundwater. But achieving accurate results is an art. Mastering the dowsing indicator will take time and patience. You need to spend at least 30 minutes a day training with the frame and develop your powers of observation. Only in this way will you master dowsing to perfection and tune your consciousness to the perception of the subtle world.

A little about the author:

Evgeniy Tukubaev The right words and your faith are the key to success in the perfect ritual. I will provide you with information, but its implementation directly depends on you. But don’t worry, a little practice and you will succeed!

Grapevine climbing a tree. (Antique cameo, Berlin Museum).

This is one of the oldest systems, described by various ancient authors. With this approach, grapevines can reach enormous sizes, both in height and in thickness (in a humid climate, up to 25-30 cm in diameter: I. Klingen, “Fundamentals of farming in the Sochi district” 1897, p. 109).

I quote an excerpt from I. Klingen’s book “Fundamentals of Economy in the Sochi District” of 1897 concerning the Maglari system (p. 56).
“Near Hisa (near Vardane) Bell observed the establishment of young vineyards. To do this, they uprooted the forest, planted young trees (mulberry, alder), cleared them of the lower branches, and let the vine climb along them according to the Maglari method. Every 7-10 years the vine was removed and cleared of dry and old shoots; the tree on which it climbed was cleaned and freed from excess branches that shaded the vine with leaves. The old vines sometimes reached 3-6 inches in thickness and wrapped around huge ancient oaks, smothering them in their embrace. In the Sochi Valley there were many vines twining like garlands on huge trees.

The following example can serve as a measure of productivity: at the Kuban post, near the mouth of Dagomys, there is an alder tree entwined with a grapevine. Despite the ban issued shortly after the Russians entered the country, one resident cut down an alder tree and extracted exactly 30 pounds of grapes from it. ... Bel was amazed at the abundance of grapes on the trees"

Let me remind you that 1 pood is 16 kg. That. It turns out that 30 poods is 480 kg from one vine!!!

An interesting feature of the Maglari system was that white grapes were most often grown on mulberry, and red grapes on alder. Alder, by the way, is a good nitrogen fixer (due to the presence of appropriate nitrogen-fixing microorganisms on its root system) and is capable of enriching the soil with this important building material for plants.

I will give another excerpt from the book “Fundamentals of Economy in the Sochi District” (p. 112), which compares the effectiveness of the Western viticulture system introduced to the Caucasus with the original Maglari system:

“...Ten dozen such trees (i.e. 120 trees with a vine on each, note. Sobkalov. A.V.) with good care they will give the same harvest of grapes from a tithe (1.09 hectares note. Sobkalov A.V.), as under the current system and care in native vineyards they receive from 6,000 -10,000, and from Imeretians from fifteen thousand vines; one has only to compare the cost of caring for Maglari with Dablari, and the opportunity to look after a hundred vines better than several thousand - and then all fears about the hassle of treating Maglari will disappear by themselves.”

The presence of mycorrhizae and a healthy rhizosphere in the forest garden will protect such vines from fungal and many other diseases, which is what modern vineyard creators are so afraid of when analyzing the Maglari system.

Many of you have probably already seen photos of living bridges in India made from ficus root shoots (if not, see the photo below). But hardly anyone knows that similar miracles of bioconstruction recently took place here in the Caucasus!

Here is an excerpt from the same source:

“Tornau reports that 7 bridges made of poles, boards and vines were built across the Mzymta. The bridges are exclusively suspension bridges: 5 of them are for pedestrians and 2 for horses. Garbe saw such a bridge, made of living vines thrown across the river and despite this, continued to grow.”

  • Maiden's grapes. An unpretentious liana that can change leaf shades from bright green in spring to crimson in autumn. During the fruitful period, in addition to external beauty, it appears in the form of clusters of blue-black berries; if you choose the right variety, then in addition to beauty, every year you can make grape, jam or wine. Grows very quickly up to 20 m in height. It tolerates winter easily and does not require a special place for planting, as it thrives equally well in the shade and in the sun.

  • Clematis. Despite the exotic name, it is very often found in dachas. Externally - long green lashes with small flowers of white, pink or purple. During the flowering period, small stars cover the entire area, making it unique. At the same time, the plant does not require careful care and constant watering, but grows like a “weed.”

  • Ivy. It is classified as a poisonous plant, so when planting and caring for it, you should take safety precautions and wear gloves. At the same time, beautiful carved green leaves can densely cover any hedge, turning it into a miracle of nature. It tolerates cold well, so it is common in Russia, and can also grow on the sunny or shady side of the site.

  • Climbing rose. Flowers have a pleasant aroma and delicate beauty from nature. They love fertile soil, so in the spring it is worth applying mineral or special fertilizers. Fast growth Not only in height, but also in width will allow you to quickly cover the entire area of ​​the fence, adding causticity and beauty to it. Plants must be planted at a distance of a meter from each other.

  • Actinidia– a useful and unpretentious creation of nature. The beauty of the leaves and flowers results in edible fruits that taste like Bell pepper or gooseberries. Berries are rich in vitamin C, which is so lacking in city life. The plant reaches a height of 15 m, wrapping around the entire support provided. Tolerates frosts well, surviving even in Siberia.

This is only a part of the plants that can become a wonderful living pattern in a country house or around a private home. Care for each variety and species is different, but not as thorough as for indoor species. Some can be pruned to prevent them from growing too wide.

Fast-growing climbing plants for the garden with photo and name, as well as care recommendations

Perennial climbing plants are very diverse. When choosing an option for a summer cottage, it is worth considering that you do not live there permanently, as in, therefore, caring for flowers and shrubs should be minimal.


Despite little care for living decor, many species can surpass specially grown garden crops in their beauty and benefits. Let's take a closer look at the most popular and interesting specimens with photos and some recommendations for care.

Varieties of flowering perennial vines for country fences

Blooming perennial vines are an excellent option for vertical gardening in a summer cottage. They can decorate not only the fence, but also arches or even the house itself. The choice of plant must be carefully selected so that it tolerates the soil type and climatic conditions well. Also important is the appearance, which must correspond to the overall composition of the site.


Among the most common and easy to care for plants are:

  • actinidia;
  • bougainvillea;
  • Chinese wisteria;
  • decorative honeysuckle;
  • Kampsis rooting;
  • honeysuckle;
  • Kirkazon;
  • clematis;
  • prince of Siberia;
  • Chinese lemongrass;
  • climbing rose;
  • ecremocarpus;
  • Echinocystis.

We’ll talk about each type in more detail, including methods of caring for plants. So that you can pick up suitable option For your own sake, below are photos of flower varieties.

Actinidia: planting and caring for the plant

Actinidia is classified as a type of woody vine. In nature, it grows in Southeast Asia and the Himalayas, as well as in Far East. One of the varieties of the family is kiwi, the fruits of which are known to everyone.


Deciduous perennial actinidia with whole or thin leaves is used as a decorative element. Exactly interesting shape foliage and makes this vine an excellent option for decorating fences in country houses. There are mainly two varieties used:

  • Arguta– length reaches 20 m, blooms in June, and bears fruit in September. The berries taste similar to gooseberries.

  • Kolomikta- outwardly similar to the first type, but differs in the non-simultaneous ripening of fruits, which reach maturity from August to late autumn. And also the roughness of the leaves serves as an additional decor.

When thinking about what is better to choose: actinidia arguta or kolomikta, summer residents rely on taste qualities and time of fruit ripening. And also on small external differences in plants.

As for planting and caring for actinidia, they are common to any option:

Purchase It is better to purchase seedlings that are presented in garden stores. When choosing, pay attention to root system, which must be protected from wind and heat, otherwise the plant will die. Buy options with a closed root system up to 3 years old.
Disembarkation You need to buy female and male versions of the plant for pollination and fruit production. Planted in partial shade. You can choose a place along or along the fence. You should not place the plant near apple trees, as such proximity is unacceptable. Also, choose a dry area to prevent waterlogging of the root system. Be sure to plant in the spring before sap flow at a distance of a meter from each other.
Care Weeding is required near the plant during the period of active growth. If you notice it, be sure to treat it with special means. Watering is required only in dry summers.
Top dressing Mineral fertilizers are used in the spring. For each m² of plot, 35 g of nitrogen, 20 g of phosphorus and potassium fertilizers are applied. Autumn nourishes the soil after harvesting.
Trimming Proper care stimulates the growth of new shoots. It is possible at the age of 3 years, when actinidia gets stronger. Throughout the summer you can give it the desired shape.
Wintering During the cold season, you need to cover the plant. To do this, make a 2-3 cm layer of dry leaves around the trunk. Such care is required only for young shoots.

By following all the recommendations, you will grow beautiful actinidia on your site, which will not only turn into a living fence, but will also bear valuable fruits rich in vitamins. To make it easier to understand the characteristics of the plant, watch the video:

Bougainvillea: growing and care in the garden

Bougainvillea is a small climbing shrub with thorns. It grows naturally in Brazil and blooms for 9 months in a row. Decorative options have different shapes, large and colorful flowers from lilac to white.


Such a beautiful and exotic plant does not require careful care, but it is worth following the recommendations:

Reproduction At the end of spring or at the beginning of summer, cuttings are cut off. Then, place them in warm water for 3 hours, then dip them in root powder and plant them in the ground. The soil is the same as for an adult plant, but peat is added instead of humus.
Care This is a sun-loving plant. And for the winter, bougainvillea should be covered or wrapped, especially the root system, so that the temperature does not drop below +8 ⁰C.
Watering and fertilizing It often stands during active growth, and spraying with warm water also has a good effect on the plant. In spring and early summer, you can apply mineral or organic fertilizers twice a week.
Trimming The appearance of the flower depends entirely on this process. Pruning to stimulate the growth of side shoots is carried out in spring and autumn. And throughout the summer you can trim the ends of the branches decoratively.

Bougainvillea is a rather heat-loving plant, so it is unlikely to be suitable for growing conditions in Siberia. But in central Russia it is quite possible to wrap a flower for the winter and enjoy the beauty of its colors all summer.


To make it easier to care for bougainvillea, watch the video on the topic:

Chinese wisteria: planting and care

White or light purple clusters of flowers will attract the attention of passers-by to your unusual summer cottage. All summer long, wisteria gives extraordinary beauty to its inflorescences, while it grows well in open ground and does not require careful care.


Among all the varieties, the most popular is Chinese wisteria, the height of which reaches 20 m, and the brushes have a pleasant lilac hue and can grow up to 30 cm in length. Even if you prefer a different variety, you should pay attention to several care recommendations:


Disembarkation A perennial plant requires a lot of space for good development of the root system. At the same time, choose a place where the sun will shine openly on the wisteria for at least half a day. As for the soil, plant in a slightly alkaline environment in early spring.
Care Young shoots should be tied up so that the trunk can withstand heavy loads of flowering vines. For the winter, plants are wrapped by removing shoots from their supports.
Watering Do not over-moisten the soil, otherwise the root system will rot. In September, they practically stop watering wisteria in order to...
Trimming At the beginning of summer or at the end of spring, it is necessary to prune the branches for proper bud formation. Last year's shoots are left no more than 30 cm long. After buds form, the shoots should be shortened a little more (by 2 buds).
Wintering Pay special attention to young shoots, which must be wrapped for the winter. They are removed from the supports and laid on the ground; the top should be lightly sprinkled with earth and a layer of fallen leaves should be made. And also lay down special material to completely protect the plant.

Decorative climbing honeysuckle: photos and some care tips

Honeysuckle is a common name for Russia. Many summer residents plant this beautiful climbing plant with a growth height of up to 6 m on their plots. It is perfect for vertical decoration, so honeysuckle is placed along fences or next to the walls of buildings and.


It is unpretentious, grows quickly and produces abundant flowering in the summer with a pleasant, delicate aroma. Just don’t taste the honeysuckle fruits – they are inedible. There are a few care recommendations:

  • Buy seedlings under the age of 3 years and without damage to the root system.
  • Plant in early autumn or late spring in a hole 50 by 50 by 50 cm and at a distance of a meter from each other.
  • When planting, add 100 g of superphosphate and 50 g of potassium fertilizer to the soil. Water with warm water.
  • Honeysuckle loves moisture, so it requires water throughout the entire period until autumn to prepare the plant for winter. Watering should be done in the evening and it is better to loosen the soil first.

  • Pruning is done after the first year of life in open ground. The more often you shorten the branches, the more abundantly the plant will bloom.
  • Decorative honeysuckle does not like frost, so the root system should be carefully covered.

Here are some interesting photo examples of plants for decorating fences and other elements of summer cottages:

Rooting campsis: photos and breeding methods

Campsis is a beautiful and delicate plant, suitable for creating a hedge or decorating a home. This perennial vine raises its tent to a height of up to 15 m. The shoots spiral around the support, and with age the trunks become woody and resemble the outlines of fairy-tale trees.


The inflorescences are collected from several large orange or scarlet tubular flowers, pleasing the eye from June to September. Campsis rooting came from North America, and to grow such beauty you should follow a few simple rules:

Recommendations for landing The shrub can grow in any soil, but for abundant flowering It is better to choose fertile and loose soil. Before planting seedlings, it is worth adding fertilizers to the ground in the form of humus or complex mineral compositions. Ideal time to transfer to open ground– early April, when there will be no more winter frosts.
Care and watering Campsis easily tolerates drought, but for abundant flowering it is better to water regularly. Additional fertilizing is not required, and pruning should be done in the spring before bud formation or in the fall after the growing season.
Wintering The winter hardiness of rooting Kampsis is average. If the frost does not exceed -20⁰C, you can not insulate, but only protect the root system with a layer of fallen leaves.
Reproduction You can grow it yourself from seeds, but you will have to wait seven years for the first flowering. It’s easier and faster to purchase seedlings or make layerings. To do this, dig in several shoots growing close to the ground.

Important! Rooting campsis can grow its roots into cracks in the foundation and walls of a house, rising to the roof, so it is recommended to use a trellis for planting.

Honeysuckle honeysuckle: photo, planting and care

Fragrant honeysuckle honeysuckle is in great demand in Russian gardens. Many summer residents and owners of private houses plant this shrub for vertical gardening, decorating fences, houses, etc.


The flowers are small and graceful and look great on a “hedge” during the flowering period. There is nothing complicated in planting and caring for a plant, so even novice gardeners can handle it. Here are some guidelines to follow:

  • It is better to plant immediately in a permanent place in well-moistened and loosened soil.
  • Add fertilizers in the form of humus, peat or organic mixtures to the hole prepared for planting.
  • During active growth, it is worth fertilizing the vine with potassium mixtures once every 2 weeks.

  • The shrub tolerates heat well, but from severe frosts it is worth wrapping the root system.
  • During the period of fertilization, it will be useful to mulch the soil, which reduces the growth rate of weeds and maintains soil moisture.
  • The vine should be shaped not only by the support it will envelop, but also by pruning to give the plant fullness.

By following these simple rules, you can easily grow beautiful decor from a tent of leaves on your site. In addition to honeysuckle, there are several more commonly found varieties:

  • Brown's honeysuckle. The leaves are elliptical in shape, the underside of which has a bluish tint. The flowers are usually red-orange. Blooms from June to October. With proper care, the vine can survive even the most severe frosts.

  • Honeysuckle Henry. Flowers of a yellow-red hue, delighting with their beauty from July to August. The fruits are blue-black and the foliage is bright green.

  • Honeysuckle Gecrotte. The vine reaches a height of 6 m and a width of up to 4 m, so the plant should be planted at a distance of at least 1 m from each other. It grows upright and climbs strongly. The leaves are dark bluish-green, and the flowers have a yellow-white edge. It is better to grow in partial shade. Tolerates frosts well.

Choose a suitable honeysuckle variety that will delight you with its beauty and aroma for a long time. Moreover, caring for the plant is minimal, which means you will spend little effort.

Kirkazon Manchurian: care features

Kirkazon is a perennial liana. It has another name - aristolochia. There are about 360 species that grow in the tropical zone. This exotic shrub will be a wonderful decoration for any personal plot.


It has lush foliage with sharp, heart-shaped tips. It is distinguished by its endurance and high growth rate. One branch can reach 10 m in length. The flowers are creamy-brown in color, and the leaves are covered with light hairs, which give a special charm to the plant.

To grow Kirkazon vines, you should follow several rules for planting and care:

Disembarkation Spring and autumn are perfect for planting shrubs in open ground. Choose a place without direct lines sun rays, partial shade is best. Be sure to make a layer of crushed stone and sand in the hole. Cuttings take root best when they are under 3 years old. Keep a distance of 1 m between plants.
Care Be sure to water the plant regularly and ensure that the top layer of soil does not dry out. An adult vine requires about 10 liters of water. In the hot summer, the leaves are additionally sprayed. Branches that are too tall and dry shoots should be trimmed. And also feed the soil twice a season with mullein tincture in a concentration of 1 to 10.

Here are some photographic examples of how Kirkazon is used in landscape design various areas:

Clematis: planting and care in open ground

Delicate clematis flowers attract the attention of many summer residents. Large flowers of a wide variety of shades, cascading down like a waterfall, will become an amazing decoration for any fence. The variability of varieties allows everyone to choose the right option for themselves.


To properly care for clematis in open ground, you should follow simple recommendations:

  • To plant seedlings, choose a place with plenty of sunlight, but protected from wind and waterlogged soil.
  • When planting along the house, leave at least half a meter for roots to grow. And it is not recommended to plant along a dense metal fence, as it generates too much heat in the summer.

  • Feed the dug hole 60 by 60 cm with mineral fertilizers or a homemade mixture of compost, humus, garden soil and sand.
  • It is worth planting in spring or summer, but choose seedlings with a closed root system and use the method of transferring from a pot to the ground.

  • Water the bush generously 1-2 times a week; if it is very hot, double the amount of watering.
  • For wintering, all dried leaves are removed, and they are used to make a “cushion” of insulation for the cold period.

Knyazhik is a close relative of clematis. The liana has beautiful bell flowers and graceful foliage. Looks beautiful as a frame for a fence or terrace. Caring for the plant is not difficult, but it is worth watering and pruning the shoots on time.


To avoid problems with growing Siberian princeling, follow a few care recommendations:

Planting a plant The best time for planting is mid-May. For the vine, prepare a hole measuring 60 by 60 by 60 cm and add fertilizer from humus and compost, as well as some wood ash. If the soil acidity in the area is high, you can add slaked lime. Be sure to make drainage from small pebbles and sand. For planting, choose cuttings at the age of 2 years - they take root best in new conditions.
Watering The prince does not like too dry soil, so watering should be done once a week so that the soil is well saturated up to 0.5 m in depth. During intense summer heat, the number of times should be increased to 2-3 in 7 days.
Top dressing Once every 2 months, replenish the soil balance with microelements by applying mineral fertilizers with urea and mullein.
Care It is imperative to mulch the soil: there are special ones for this that allow you to provide an influx of oxygen, reduce the formation of weeds and avoid drying out of the roots. The plant should be covered for the winter.

Schisandra chinensis: cultivation and care

Chinese lemongrass is a useful and beautiful shrub with edible fruits. The liana is covered with greenery early spring and until autumn, during the flowering period it pleases with the whiteness and fragrant aroma of flowers, and in the fall bright red clusters of fruits appear against the background of yellowing foliage.


The plant is unpretentious and tolerates frost well. It is enough to follow a few recommendations for care and planting in open ground, and the perennial vine will delight you with its beauty for a long time, bringing benefits:

  • It is best to plant cuttings at the end of April. The vines are placed at a distance of a meter from each other and in holes up to 40 cm deep. The addition of mineral fertilizers is also necessary.

  • During the growing season, it is recommended to feed them once every 2-3 weeks with mullein in a ratio of 1 to 10. The shrub begins to bloom and bear fruit only at 6-7 years of age.
  • Water frequently and also spray the foliage with warm water.
  • Be sure to provide supports so that the vine can curl freely.
  • Pruning of the vine is carried out only from the 3rd year of life, while the shoots are thinned out, leaving only the 3-6 strongest. It is better to shorten the branches in the fall, when active flowering is over.
  • In winter, a layer of fallen leaves is placed on the soil near the trunk of young shoots. Mature vines do not need shelter.

The harvest is harvested in the fall, the berries are dried and used to make tinctures or added to tea. For more information about caring for Schisandra chinensis, watch the video:

White bryonia is a common type of country vine. Easy to care for and unpretentiousness allows you to plant the plant in Russia without fear of winter cold.


To create a dense hedge, it is enough to take very little care of the vine:

  • Plant a shrub with sunny side plot into any loosened soil. It is worth making a frame in advance, as the vine grows quickly.
  • They propagate by tubers or seeds, planting them in the ground in the fall and observing germination in the spring.
  • For the winter, it is still worth protecting the plant from severe frosts.

There are no requirements for watering and fertilizing, so even a novice gardener can grow such a hedge.
