It is a creeping evergreen shrub of the Araliaceae family (APG classification: Araliaceae). It sends out aerial roots that spread across the ground, attach to other objects, and climb. The leaves are alternate and have 3-12 deep or shallow lobes. The flowers are greenish and grow in corymbs with 5 sepals, 5 petals, and 5 stamens. The ovary has 5 chambers, the style is short-styled, and the berries have 3-5 seeds. There are six original species: H. canariensis , H. colchica , H. formosana , H. helix , H. nepalensis , and H. rhombea , and there are hundreds of horticultural varieties, many of which are hybrids between the canariensis and colchica species, and variants and improved helix varieties. The Japanese name for rhombea is 'kizuta', and its form varies depending on where it grows. Approximately 100 species are cultivated in Japan. They have long been popular as potted plants and bonsai. They are cold-resistant and can grow in shady areas that do not receive direct sunlight, so they are often used as indoor plants or ground cover plants. Growth temporarily slows down in the heat of midsummer. They are propagated by cuttings, avoiding summer and winter, and the best times to do so are April to May and September to October. New shoots are cut at 2 or 3 nodes and inserted into a cutting bed of red soil or river sand, and grown in partial shade. After about 3 weeks, the roots will appear and can be planted in a pot or in the open. [Masao Inomata November 17, 2021] [References] |Hedera helix (). The leaves are alternate and the veins are whitish. There are many varieties, including those with yellowish-white edges and those with spots in the center. ©Shogakukan "> Ivy Source: Shogakukan Encyclopedia Nipponica About Encyclopedia Nipponica Information | Legend |
ウコギ科(APG分類:ウコギ科)のつる性の常緑低木。気根を出して地面をはったり、他物につき、はい登る。葉は互生し、3~12に深裂または浅裂する。花は帯緑色で散房状につき、萼片(がくへん)、花弁、雄しべは各5個である。子房は5室で、花柱は短柱状、液果は3~5個の種子をもつ。原種はH. canariensis、H. colchica、H. formosana、H. helix、H. nepalensis、H. rhombeaの6種があり、園芸品種は数百種にも及び、カナリエンシス種とコルチカ種との交雑種および変種とヘリックスの改良種が多い。ロムベアは和名キヅタとよび、自生地によって形態に差がある。 日本では約100種が栽培される。鉢栽培、盆栽として古くから親しまれる。耐寒性が強く、直射日光を受けない陰地でも育つので、室内植物または地被植物としてよく利用される。真夏の暑さには一時的に成長が緩慢になる。繁殖は挿木によるが、夏と冬は避け、4~5月および9~10月が望ましい。新梢(しんしょう)を2、3節のところで切り、赤土、川砂などの挿床に挿し、半日陰で育て、3週間ほどして発根したものを、鉢または露地に定植する。 [猪股正夫 2021年11月17日] [参照項目] |ヘデラ・ヘリックス()。葉は互生し、葉脈は白みを帯びる。葉の縁が黄白色になるもの、中央部に斑が入るものなど、多くの品種がある©Shogakukan"> セイヨウキヅタ 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
