While the plant itself is named bonsai in this country, the term actually refers to the entire art of this breed. The special feature of bonsai lies in the fact that the plants are grown in deliberately small vessels and pots, whereby the trees maintain a very compact shape and look like miniature trees. Although some of the special species of trees of the Asian habitat are to be found in the art of bonsai, European woody plants such as maples or pines are also suitable for miniature rearing. The cultivation and care of the bonsai is a true art of Asian horticulture, which is not related solely to the symbolic meaning of the bonsai in this living environment. Rather, it is botanically very demanding to limit the growth of trees and other woody plants targeted and yet ensure that the corresponding plant grows and thrives. The regular cutting of branches and leaves is also part of the regular duties of a bonsai lover, such as the use of special bonsai and other fertilizers. Depending on the chosen type of wood, each bonsai tree also has its own requirements for optimal care.

Botanical Garden

Botanical Garden B like botany A botanical garden is a special urban setting that is a piece of untouched nature and holds a variety of trees, flowers and other plants for scientific research or pure aesthetic enrichment. Many botanical gardens that are currently being discovered in Germany have their roots either in the university or religious environment and have often been cultivated by botanists or monks for decades or centuries. A botanical garden distinguishes itself from the classical agriculture, since the intention of such a garden does not lie in the economic use. Although traditional crops such as potatoes or tomatoes are often planted here, a botanical garden is more about presenting the numerous genera and species. If the climatic conditions permit, plants are deliberately used in a botanical garden that are not found in the wild in the respective country and should therefore enable research on foreign plants of other nations and continents. Since most botanical gardens are still scientifically designed today, signs supplement the individual plants and teach important content about the particular species or botany in general. As a scientific educational path, botanical gardens are not only a relaxing place in the urban environment, but also a popular destination for school classes or university courses.

Botanical name

Botanical name B like botany Botanical names are an integral part of the nomenclature of science and are established in all flowers and other plant species. Botanical names serve to distinguish all types of a specific, biological organism and linguistically make the delineation of different variants and peculiarities of flowers and plants possible, which look identical to the layman at first sight. Any plant that is discovered in nature or purchased from a professional florist has a botanical name that makes it possible to precisely name the plant. All botanical names are in Latin and make a division into genus, species and species not only possible in plants. Rose plants, for example, bear the scientific name rosa, special species have a complementary name, for example rosa pendulina in the alpine rose. The unique Latin name also allows botanists, florists and scientists to clearly identify plants and other living things beyond the borders of the native language, thus promoting research in the botanical field on an international basis.

botany

botany B like botany The term botany is a scientific term, whereby the discipline deals with the biology of all the plants of the globe. The Botany falls to the research and classification of flowers and other plants, as well as the determination of new or established species as well as the collection of knowledge about individual genera and specimens, for example, with the aim of successful breeding. Modern botany also has an economic component that is currently being used in agriculture and where scientific knowledge should help to optimize crop yields and avoid mistakes in cultivation and breeding. Many products in the field of fertilization or plant protection, which can be found in our online offer by Floristik21.de, have only been developed through extensive research in the field of botany in recent decades and help plant friends in the private environment more from flowers and other plants do.

Flowers with a flower funnel represent the botanical opposite to bluebells, in which the constriction of the flower shape takes place exactly in the other direction. Flower funnels are thought to be a beautiful flower. The shape of the funnel is therefore beneficial for the reproduction of these flowers, as it allows even larger insects to gain access to the flower's stamp, thus making it easier to distribute the pollen of this plant.

Without regular care, ground coverers can grow immensely to overgrow larger areas.

hydroponics

hydroponics H like hair accessoires Hydroponics is a special variant of plant breeding, which is characterized by the absence of potting soil and other, classic nutrient media. Instead of these, an inorganic nutrient solution is used in plants of hydroponic culture, nutrient salts and similar substances provide for the supply of the respective plant. In the everyday environment, plants in hydroponics can be found mainly in expanded clay and similar granules. Although these granules are able to store water and thus nutrients, for the supply of the plant such granules play a minor role and are mainly to stabilize the root system of hydroponic plants. The nutrition itself takes place via special nutrient solutions, with which the needs of the individual plants and cultures can be individually addressed. Advantages of hydrobreeding result from the rarer need for casting, in addition, the repotting can be spared by the lower education root system in numerous cases. Not every green plant can be bred successfully as hydroponic culture, conversely, the modern horticulture could also offer many plant species as hydroponic culture, which are traditionally offered by the specialist trade with potting soil or similar nutrient media.

Judas Silberling

Judas Silberling J like Jacaranda The Judassilberling, also called one-year silver leaf or silver taler, is a belonging to the genus of silver leaves ornamental plant, which is native to Central Europe.

As a rule, an orangery does not only include a sumptuous and attractively designed park, but also a supplementary orangery building, which serves as a smaller summer residence. In modern times, the establishment of new orangeries has become superfluous due to the targeted, industrial cultivation of tropical fruits, whereas historical orangeries in Germany and other European nations are still maintained and regularly restored.

plant protection

plant protection P like parallel technology The term crop protection summarizes all measures that should ensure the optimal growth of plants of all kinds. Crop protection is used both for crops that are grown, for example, specifically as food for humans, flower lovers will find various options for plant protection, however, also given in the floristry. At the present time, pest management is often equated with the use of pesticides and chemicals, but simple and archaic measures such as a scarecrow can be understood as the fundamental protection of crops and other plants. Modern plant protection aims at various aspects of the development of a plant, as an elementary step should be prevented by the protection of the seed, which is removed by a bird or rodent from a field or bed and so not even the formation of a plant can take place , If they have germinated successfully and are growing, the infestation of pests of the plant can rob considerable energy and ultimately ensure their death. In this case, pesticides should keep animals completely away from the plants or act as bait, after their consumption, the pests die. In modern horticulture, increased attention is paid to the ecological compatibility of all plant protection substances, so that, for example, the consumption of crops can take place without damage to humans.

Among the best-known plants, which is a high strain, includes classical German deciduous trees, as well as oak, in which the crop of crops are mainly fruit trees. In horticulture and in nurseries tree nurseries, it is used in a nursery garden.
