Ampel plants are often decorated not only in private gardens, but also in summer cafes, parks, balconies of high-rise buildings. The name "ampelous" is translated from German as a suspended vase of flowers. Therefore, ampels are most often called plants blooming in suspended pots.

But this is just one of the varieties of ampels. In more detail about the classification of these plants, the method of growing them, the advantages over ordinary garden flowers - in this article.

Features of ampelous plants and their classification

Depending on the growth method, the ampels are divided into several subspecies:

• creeping;
• climbing;
• curly;
• multi-socket.

Some of them look like vines growing upward and having aerial roots. Others have a variety of tendrils that help plants cling to a net, arch, or fence. Another group is hanging ampelous plants for the garden. They can be seen most often: gazebos, terraces and balconies are decorated with such pots.

Creeping ampels decorate horizontal surfaces. This is the so-called "rug". This variety can have inflorescences or consist of only leaves. Garden paths are decorated with creeping ampelous plants, they zone the space in the courtyard, and are used to complement the flower arrangement.

Curly ampels decorate fences, metal and wooden arches. In order to climb up, these flowers need guides - stretched strings and ropes. With the help of climbing plants, they create "living" hedges, shade the sides of the gazebo or terrace, and decorate the roofs.

Important! The main distinguishing feature of ampels is considered to be a flexible stem, thanks to which a flower can hang from a flowerpot or take on a bizarre shape of a braided object.

How to compose a composition of ampelous plants

To decorate or complement the garden with flowers, you need great taste. Ampels can be combined not only in color, size or type, these plants complement interior and exterior items, combine them with ordinary garden trees and bushes, plant not only in pots, but also on the roof or on an old stump, for example.

A few simple rules will help you to correctly compose a flower arrangement:

1. Plants without flowers can be supplemented with any ampels with inflorescences.
   
   
2. If the composition is symmetrical, its creation begins from the center of the pot or flowerpot, planting the smallest flowers there. On the sides, the container is decorated with varieties of falling ampels, combining their color and shape.
   
   
3. For a cascade composition, it is necessary to use several types of ampels with different stem heights. The tallest flowers are planted in the far row, as they approach the viewer, the height of the bushes should decrease so that the plants do not block each other.
   
   
4. If there is an old well, an unnecessary cart, a chest of drawers or a bicycle on the site, they can be effectively beaten with the help of ampelous plants. Several pots with flowers planted in them are attached to these objects and form the growth of stems.
   
   
5. A wooden or wrought iron gazebo is simply created to be decorated with flowers. Here, ampels are hung at the entrance and near the windows, pots of flowers are placed on window sills and tables, and the corners are decorated with vases with weaving plants (an excellent example of gazebo decor is shown in the photo below).
   
   
6. An artificial pond or a waterfall near the house will also not do without ampel flowers. Plants will add color to the pond, and water, in turn, will provide coolness to the flowers.
   
   
7. For climbing plants, arches are made of metal, wood or plastic. Such arches decorated with vines decorate the entrance to the courtyard or the path leading to the gazebo.
   
   
8. Green tunnels made of flowers look especially impressive; a good example of such an ensemble is shown in the photo.
   
   
9. You can combine several types of one plant with each other, for example, ordinary and ampelous carnations.
   
   
10. The same plants with flowers of different shades look very impressive and bright. Most often, petunia bushes are combined in this way.
    
    
11. Another win-win option is to decorate the plot with pots with different flowers in the same color scheme. You can choose only plants with red inflorescences, or combine all shades of yellow in a flowerpot.
    
    

Advice! When composing a composition, it is necessary to think not only about the beauty of the “bouquet”, but also about its “comfort”. The same soil, moisture and light levels should be suitable for all plants.

How to grow ampelous plants

The easiest option is to purchase flowerpots and pots with already blooming ampels in a specialized store. In this case, it remains only to arrange the flowers on the site, decorating them in a single composition.

It is much more difficult to grow flowers from seeds. Indeed, for the correct combination of ampels, you need to know exactly what will grow from these seeds.

First, the seeds are sown in separate boxes to grow seedlings from them. When the plants get stronger, they are transplanted to a permanent place. There are a number of rules to follow here:

• each amelian flower needs its own soil: some plants like loams, others need peat, for others, the nutritional value of the soil is more important. Information on the required soil composition can be found on the seed package. Or prepare a universal substrate for ampels based on purchased soil and peat.
• Flowers in pots need to be watered more often than plants in flower beds. The following rule applies here - the smaller the flowerpot, the more often and more abundantly the ampels will have to be watered. Many ampelous flowers need watering twice a day.
• So that weed seeds do not get into the pots, and the earth does not dry out by the sun and wind, the soil in the flowerpots is mulched after planting seedlings in them.
• Hanging planters, baskets and pots should be filled with light substrates. In some cases, it is allowed to use gel balls, floral sponges and other devices to retain moisture. Coconut fiber is considered the most optimal substrate option.
• The soil for ampelous plants must be drained. At the bottom of pots and flowerpots, you need to lay fragments of earthenware or small pebbles. Hanging planters must be equipped with a drainage hole.
• If you need to decorate the balcony or windows of the upper floors with hanging flowerpots, you need to choose undersized ampelous plants - long stems will easily break with a strong wind that blows at a height.
• It is important to keep free space between the ampels, they should not be cramped. You can plant no more than 5 plants in one medium-sized flowerpot (about 30 cm in diameter).
