Shade Plants

Over a half century in biology firmly established classification division of all plants in the shade-tolerant and light-loving.These differences can be observed in the natural change of tree species or as a result of fires.It is then open to the sun plots appear in the first light-loving plants, and only later, when the necessary conditions - shade-tolerant.Various species of trees, shrubs and grasses to create even more powerful natural dome.As a result, for light-loving plants near the ground conditions for the growth it becomes very small.However, their existence becomes impossible.

Shade plants prefer diffused light and are found only in the absence of direct sunlight.Otherwise, the growth of the flora is extremely depressed.This raises the probability of getting them sunburn.

Shade plants - it is mainly trees or grass growing under their canopy.The most prominent representatives of this species of flora are mosses, ferns, club mosses and lichens.They are ubiquitous in the woods.We are all familiar shade-loving plant algae, which are the habitat of rivers, seas and lakes.From sunlight to protect their thick layer of water.


With age, under the mountains, at high latitudes and in the dry climate of most plants is a decrease of shade-tolerant, there is the ability to develop and direct sunlight.

Shade plants from a physiological point of view, have a low intensity of the process of photosynthesis.The leaves of this species of flora have a number of anatomical and morphological features.These plants minimally differentiated columnar and spongy parenchyma.In this case, their cellular structure contains a small amount of chloroplast (ten to forty), a surface area of ​​from two to six square centimeters per square centimeter of sheet.

Some plants that grow under the forest canopy, before the formation of the natural sun dome are light-loving in their physiological features.These include representatives of flora and wild ginger goutweed.After proliferation of the forest canopy, these plants are shade-tolerant.Thus, their growth is possible from early spring to late autumn.

If your site has a place where almost no incidence of sunlight, the most advantageous solution would be planting shade-loving plants.These representatives of the flora has a special charm, which is reflected in the diversity and originality of the leaves.It is decorative and gives them planted areas.

Shade Garden Plants with large leaves and the presence of high peduncle usually placed in the background section, highlighted by a flower garden.If a flower bed on all sides open, in the central part of the dominant plants for this purpose can serve as Ligularia dentata, beautiful Telecom macranthon and gorgeous nard and others.

Against these taller plants placed perennial varieties of medium height.As such, you can specify the shade lovers Globe Asian and Chinese, and other major hosts.

lower tier planted with shade-loving plants section is formed from creeping ground cover and species.The most popular planting evergreen apical pahizandry, small periwinkle and monetchatogo loosestrife.

Shade house plants grow well on windowsills windows facing the north side.For areas where there is a lack of lighting, well suited:

-Chinese Abelia;

-fialkotsvetkovaya sinpoliya;

-begoniya Lucerne;

-aglaonema variability and other.
