Indoor plants have been used as an interior element since ancient times. Climbing plants can be pulled up along a cord, wire, bamboo stick, or slate.
Climbing and hanging plants are an ideal option for the interior
Lianas are divided into climbing, climbing and climbing. Climbing vines require a support around which they wrap. Climbing vines can climb with the help of tendrils, bristles, thorns, etc. However, in practice, plants with long shoots that need support are called curly, and plants with hanging shoots are called ampelous.

Among the vines there are beautifully flowering ones, these include clerodendrum, or volcameria, from the verbena family. The most popular is the beautiful climbing plant Clerodendrum fragrant. His homeland is Japan. Clerodendrum has red-purple double flowers collected in clusters. The plant prefers a sunny location and fresh air. In the summer, it needs abundant watering, otherwise the plant's leaves begin to fall off.
Clerodendrum propagates by cuttings in spring.
Plants grown from cuttings bloom until autumn. They must be replanted annually in a turf-peat mixture mixed with sand. In the summer, clerodendrum needs to be sprayed and fed. Clerodendrum can be given a beautiful shape by straightening its stems on trellises.
Such a type of vine as the golden scindapsus has received well-deserved success. Scindapsus is from the araceae family. Its homeland is tropical Asia. Scindapsus is extremely unpretentious, grows well not only in illuminated places, and tolerates temperature changes (but not lower than 15).

Scindapsus needs feeding in spring and summer; when replanting, add a mixture (leaf soil, humus, peat and sand in equal parts). The plant propagates by stem cuttings, both apical and others, throughout the year. To make the plant more decorative, several cuttings should be planted in one pot.
Monstera
The ornamental plant Monstera belongs to the aroid family. It has a round, highly climbing trunk, reaching 5-6 m with aerial roots that descend down and even take root in the ground, as well as with roots that are attached to a wall or other support. The cut-lobed leaves of Monstera have the property of “predicting the weather.” In the summer, before the onset of rainy, cloudy days or in the winter when there is a thaw, droplets of water form on the tips of the monstera leaves. For this property, the monstera is called a “crybaby”.
Monstera is an unpretentious plant, perfectly content with diffused light. However, in the summer, the monster needs to be abundantly watered, sprayed and fed. In winter, watering should be very moderate. Young plants must be replanted annually in an earthen mixture consisting of a mixture of turf, leaf and humus soil with the obligatory addition of sand. For older specimens, at least the top layer must be renewed annually. Monstera can be propagated by cuttings, suckers, and rarely by seeds. As it stretches upward, the monstera loses its lower leaves and becomes not very decorative.
To give the plant an attractive appearance, the upper aerial roots are tightly wrapped in damp moss and attached to the trunk.
After a little time, the tops with one or two leaves are cut off and placed in a pot with the old plant so that the roots and the cut are in the ground (rejuvenation of old plants is obtained).
Common ivy is from the Araliaceae family. Ivy is native to Southern Europe and North Africa. Evergreen ivy can grow to a height of up to 30 m. So, one plant can wrap around the walls of a room.

The plant needs to be fed regularly. Nephrolepis transplantation should be carried out in the spring, having prepared an earthen mixture in advance (leaf soil, humus, peat and sand in equal parts), and put a thick layer of drainage on the bottom of the pot. Nephrolepis is well placed in hanging vases, on brackets. In addition, nephrolepis also provides excellent cutting material. Its leaves retain their freshness for a long time and serve as an excellent material to complement any bouquet.
Maidenhair
Adiantum belongs to the fern family. His homeland is Brazil. The adiantum bush is very effective in decorating a room. Its twice and thrice dissected pinnate leaves on black thread-like elastic petioles are unusually decorative. This plant also has another name - dry stem. This graceful plant loves light and does not like too dry air. Because of this, when it is especially hot, frequent spraying and fresh, clean air are required.
Adiantum needs to be watered abundantly. The slightest drying out of the soil leads to wilting of the leaves.
Excessive dampness, especially in winter, is also detrimental to the plant. Adiantum is transplanted in spring, into a pre-prepared nutrient mixture(leaf soil, humus, peat and sand in equal parts). Transplanted plants require abundant watering and protection from direct exposure to the sun. It is good to place pots of maidenhair in large flowerpots filled with damp moss. Adiantum leaves are very impressive in bouquets.

Hypocyrta deserves special attention because it blooms in the coldest time. Hypocyrta propagates by cuttings, which can be cut and planted regardless of the time of year; it is better, of course, in the spring; several cuttings fit into a pot and the plant gets a more decorative appearance. Hypocyrta requires a soil mixture (leaf soil, humus, peat and coarse sand in equal parts), with the addition of charcoal. During flowering, hypocyrta needs to be washed frequently with water.
Achimenes
Achimenes is no less interesting. Achimenes is also a member of the Chesneriaceae family. A profusely blooming, unpretentious ampel plant has flowers of different colors, purple, red, blue and even white. The plant is light-loving and is not afraid of direct sunlight. In summer it is necessary to water abundantly, then watering decreases and stops completely in winter. The stems of Achimenes die off, after which the pots are put in a cool place and the plant is watered once a month. In the spring they are transplanted into new soil, and the plant blooms.
