For a century and a half in biology,established the classification division of all plants into shade-tolerant and light-loving. These differences can be observed with natural changes in tree species or as a result of fires. It is then that light-loving plants appear in the sun-exposed areas of the earth, and later, when the necessary conditions are created, they are shade-tolerant. Various species of trees, bushes and grasses create an even more powerful natural dome. As a result, for light-loving plants near the surface of the earth, conditions for growth become very small. In this case, their existence becomes impossible.
Shade-loving plants prefer diffuse lightand live only in the absence of direct sunlight. Otherwise, the growth of these representatives of the flora is extremely oppressive. Thus there is a probability of reception by them of solar burns.
Shade-loving plants are mostly trees orgrass growing under their canopy. The brightest representatives of this species of flora are mosses, ferns, mosses and lichens. They are found everywhere in the forests. We all know shade-like algae plants, the habitat of which are rivers, seas and lakes. From the sun's rays they are protected by a thick layer of water.
With age, in hot conditions, the high latitudes, and in the most dry climates the plants shade-reduction occurs, and there is the ability to grow in direct sunlight.
Shade-loving plants from the physiological point of viewvision have a low intensity of the process of photosynthesis. The leaves of representatives of this species of flora have a number of anatomical and morphological features. In these plants the spongy and columnar parenchyma is minimally differentiated. At the same time, their cell structure contains a small amount of chloroplasts (from ten to forty), the surface area of which is from two to six square centimeters per square centimeter of the leaf.
Some plants growing under the forestcanopy, before the formation of a natural sun-dome is light-loving in its physiological characteristics. To such representatives of the flora, one can also carry a hoof. After the growth of the forest canopy, these plants become shade-tolerant. Thus, their growth is possible from early spring to late autumn.
If there are places on your site wherealmost no sunlight, the most advantageous solution will be the planting of shade-loving plants. These representatives of the flora have a special charm, which finds expression in the diversity and originality of the leaves. This is what gives the decorativeness to the territories planted by them.
Shade-loving plants for a garden with large leavesand the presence of a high peduncle usually located in the background of the site allocated for the flower bed. If the flowerbed is open on all sides, in its central part dominant plants for these purposes can serve as buzulniki cog, beautiful telekiya, large-flowered and magnificent elecampane and others.
Against the background of these tall plants, perennial varieties of medium growth are placed. By way Globe Asian and Chinese, and other major hosts such as shade lovers.
Lower level planted with shade-loving plantsThe site is formed from ground cover and creeping species. The most popular is the planting of the evergreen apical pahisandra, a small periwinkle and a coin-eaten vertebra.
Shade-loving house plants grow well on the window sills facing the north side. For such places where there is a lack of lighting, well suited:
- Chinese Abelia;
-phalcoliform flow syndrome;
- the lute of Lucerne;
-Aglaemone variable, etc.
