For connoisseurs and amateurs of Japan, the country is associated not only with high technologies, but also with beautiful colors. There are a lot of them here. How do Japanese flowers look ? How much do they differ from those to which we are accustomed? In order to understand this issue, one must go to Japan or read this article.

Beautiful garden

Even the children know that the symbol of the Land of the Rising Sun is sakura. These blooming trees are beautiful, but no less wonderful plants are offered by the Japanese park of flowers "Ashikaga". In this truly heavenly place, the gaze of the traveler opens breathtaking pictures. No wonder this park is called fabulous. Wisteria (in Japanese fuji) is everywhere. They can be called the second most important plant in this country after the cherry blossom.

These Japanese flowers are tree-like lianas. From the numerous trunks rain hangs long inflorescences of different shades. It looks amazing, especially at night illumination, when it seems that each flower is ignited by magic fire. The peak of the flowering of wisteria occurs in early May. For the park on about. Honshu does not seem to need other plants, and nothing can make it more decorative than the tender inflorescences among the juicy greens.

Why so beautiful

The older this liana, the more branches it has, so the oldest tree, which is already 100 years old, is supported by numerous supports. In the park "Ashikaga" wisteria several species. 160 of them have already turned 60 years old. Their coevals are the azaleas and rhododendrons planted here. There are about 1500 of them in the park. To create live compositions also use chamomile, hyacinth, narcissus, petunia, hydrangeas and many others. Some of them are not really Japanese flowers. Similar plants can be found all over the world. For example, in our country, too, grow petunias, chrysanthemums, roses, irises, clematis.

In the park, every plant blooms in its time, so this process is continuous, and at any time of the year it is charming and cozy. But the queen is wisteria. These Japanese flowers have long flexible branches that allow to form domes of arbors, tunnels, etc. It looks unforgettable. Everyone who has ever seen a photo of Japanese flowers or enjoyed it live, will forever preserve in the soul the image of an unusual garden.

Practical application

The population of this country is trying to use the properties of beautiful plants. The compliance of wisteria made it possible to create a tunnel of these flowers. It stretched for 80 meters. In the park "Ashikaga" is not only beautiful. A myriad of colors give away its aroma, which mixes and pours up air, it accompanies visitors everywhere. The Japanese try to create harmony everywhere and first of all within themselves. This is very conducive to contemplation of flowers. Probably, therefore, in this small country, so much land is allocated to plant beautiful plants. Fantastic creation is a tunnel of flowers in the Japanese garden "Kawati Fuji". About it we will tell further.

There are many such places

This beautiful place is located in the city of Kitakyushu. "Kawati Fuji" is a park in which grows a million different colors. There are several tunnels here. The most beautiful of these is glycinium. Interestingly, Mount Fuji is named after wisteria. In addition, this plant is considered a symbol of youth, healing, is a kind of amulet for the Japanese. Therefore, to pass through the whole tunnel, the dome in which the branches of fuji are, is considered a good sign, bringing good luck. To see the beauty of the blossoming "Kawati Fuji", it's best to go there in the very last week of April, which is called "golden". Approximately at this time, the Wisteria Festival is held here.

It's beautiful not only there

Inspired by Japanese beauty, I want to see something like this in my homeland. It turns out that wisteria grows in the Crimea. You can see it in the Botanical Garden, although in May, when it blooms, you can find it in the city. During this period wisteria looks very beautiful, although here it is not looked after as in Japan, and do not form the crown, it grows on its own. But you can also have something at home, reminiscent of a distant country. Japanese tuberous flowers in the garden look original. Grow them in our country is quite possible. For example, iris is Japanese. Beautiful flower of various colors. Another option - to plant something unusual in the apartment on the windowsill.

Dogwood on the windowsill

With this role, the Japanese aucuba flower will do fine. In nature, this plant can reach five meters, and at home it will rise only by 1.5. People like the aukuba for its bright color, adding decorativeness to the room. Its leaves are green in yellow spots. Also decorate the interior with red berries that appear on it after flowering. This plant refers to the family of dogwood. Aukuba grows in Japan and South Korea. It is interesting that she has two popular names: a golden tree and a sausage tree.

And all because of the stains on its leaves, which are reminiscent of a precious metal, and the other is a cut of meat product. To Japanese aukuba not lost its decorative, you must observe special conditions and know some rules for caring for it. This plant resets the lower leaves if the temperature in the room is above 20 degrees. Its leaves turn green when the aukuba stands in the shade, due to the fact that the plant has to save chlorophyll, produced in the sun. The best shade is a penumbra.

Care instructions

In the spring and summer, the aukuba is watered abundantly, and in winter - moderately. Spraying is not necessary. The bush formed by the aukuba can be cut, giving it any shape. This is done in the spring. To give the splendor shoots pinch. As soil, we must take humus, peat, sand, turf and leaf land, and then mix them in equal quantities. Aukuba is fed once a week. For this purpose, mineral-organic fertilizers are suitable. If you protect the plant, take care of it and destroy the aphids and scabs that can damage it, then you will have on your windowsill your Japanese flower, such as in the beautiful gardens of this country.

Cute cactus

There is another plant that can be grown at home. This indoor flower is a Japanese gimnokalitsium. Of course, in appearance, it is completely different from wisteria and belongs to the family of cacti. But he also has his own fans who already have a gimnokalitsium at home or are just about to start it. This cactus differs from others in that its surface is covered with rare large spines, while in other species on the peel they are small and fluffy. These plants are unpretentious at home and in nature.

They are suitable for rare watering and poor soil. It turns out that at home they can often blossom, refuting the legend that cacti do it once in their life. Gimnokalitsiumy open their beauty, reaching 2-3 years of age. And blossom from spring until late autumn. So do not consider them a dull plant. Such cacti like to have their place well-lit. But if it is very hot, it is better to shade the pot in which they are.

The unpretentious "resident" of the apartment

In the room where the hymnalicium will grow, it is desirable to maintain the air temperature no higher than 18 and not lower than 5 degrees. Do not spray cacti, because this family is not accustomed to such luxury, as it grows in arid regions. To water the gimnokalitsium it is necessary as well as other flowers. In winter, the cactus practically does not need water. For irrigation suitable, stable, warm, acidified water.

The soil is only suitable for cacti. In order for the house plant not to hurt and look good, it should be fed with special fertilizers. As soon as the gimnokalitsium increases, it is transplanted into a larger pot. It is best to do this in the spring. The flowering hynomalicium looks beautiful and elegant. To see a blooming cactus, it is worthwhile to work hard to make it feel good.

Relation to nature

Why are there such beautiful parks in Japan? Probably, because the Japanese to all plants are very responsible, even to the room. Before planting a flower at home, they must make sure that it does not harm either physical or moral. In addition, house plants should be selected so that they are combined with the interior and fit the internal energy of the tenants of the house. To avoid the negative consequences of such harmless actions as planting a flower in a pot, you need to know in advance more about who will soon become your home "pet." Then the apartment will be beautiful, quiet and cozy, like in the best Japanese gardens.
