Kokornak is an easy-care perennial climber, valued primarily for its attractive foliage.It is represented by over 500 species cultivated worldwide.
Kokornak - developmental features
Kokornak reaches a height of 6 to 12 meters. It grows slowly in the first years, but later the annual growth of shoots can be up to 2 meters.The leaves are heart-shaped, fresh green in color, grow up to 30 cm long and form a tile.
When temperatures are not too low, leaves stay on the shoots until late winter. The flowers are pipe-shaped and reach a length of 20-30 cm. They open from May to August. In some species, such as the large-leaved arachnid and the hairy arachnid, they are small, brown and inconspicuous.
Most species, however, are real pearls among creepers.Especially great-flowered aristolochia and Aristolochia littoralis get excellent notes.
Kokornak - position
Climbers thrive best in semi-shaded and shady positions in moderately moist and humus ground.If the site is sunny, at least the lower part of the shoots must be shaded.
Kokornak - care
When summer is dry, the plants should be watered regularly, the substrate should be constantly moist.Large bushes can be trimmed.The superficial cut stimulates the plants to spread.
Kokornak - application
Climbers are suitable for decorating shaded pergolas, building walls and tall, massive fences.We run them along thick rungs or steel lines.Stems meander to the right.
Tip
The leaves of the arachnid evaporate large amounts of water, which is why a pleasant microclimate is created where the creeper grows.
