What are the climbing green plants suitable for indoor cultivation
For the netizens who are concerned, a detailed explanation of the climbing green plants suitable for indoor cultivation and a discussion on the topic of '盘点4种特适合室内种植的爬藤植物的花花草草'. Here is a detailed introduction.
When it comes to vines, many people immediately think of species such as Parthenocissus tricuspidata, Hedera helix, and Climbing Rose, which are all sun-loving flowers that can only grow and bloom normally in outdoor environments. Therefore, many people think that climbing flowers are only suitable for outdoor cultivation. However, there is a wide variety of climbing flowers, and many of them prefer semi-shady environments and are suitable for indoor maintenance.
Here are four types of 'climbing green plants' that are suitable for indoor cultivation, which not only have high ornamental value but also grow fast, are easy to care for, and can quickly cover a wall, making them addictive to grow!
Mountain Turtle
Mountain Turtle, also known as 'Di Bu Rong', 'Jin Bu Huan', 'Jin Xian Diao Wugui', is a climbing green plant belonging to the Stephania genus of the Menispermaceae family, native to China. Mountain Turtle has a very unique appearance, with a tuberous root that looks similar to potatoes or sweet potatoes, most of which are underground, with a small part exposed above the soil surface.

The photo above shows a Mountain Turtle cultivated by a flower enthusiast from Sichuan, which covered a wall in less than a year. The leaves of Mountain Turtle are very round, with silver-white veins on the leaf surface, somewhat resembling lotus leaves. Compared to traditional indoor green plant varieties like Epipremnum aureum and Chlorophytum comosum, Mountain Turtle is easier to maintain.

Cultivation Tips
Mountain Turtle does not require much sunlight, enjoying both sun and shade. It can be grown in outdoor and balcony areas with good lighting, as well as in indoor areas with poor lighting, as long as there is some scattered light and not complete darkness. It prefers loose, fertile soil with good drainage. It can tolerate some drought and should not be watered too frequently; water only when the potting soil is completely dry, avoiding long-term waterlogging. Its cold tolerance is not strong, so it's best to keep the temperature above 0 degrees during winter.
Hoya
Although 'lan' is in its name, Hoya is not an orchid but a perennial succulent sub-shrub of the Asclepiadaceae family. Due to its popularity, many breeders have cultivated it, resulting in many Hoya varieties, such as Heartleaf Hoya, Largeflower Hoya, Variegated Hoya, and Redflower Hoya, etc. Different varieties have differences in leaf shape, leaf color, flower shape, and vine length, with most varieties having vines 2 to 5 meters long, classifying them as medium-sized vines. Hoya does not require much sunlight and can grow well in a semi-shady indoor environment.
Cultivation Tips
Hoya is a tropical rainforest plant that prefers loose, fertile, humus-rich, well-draining slightly acidic sandy soil. The optimal growth temperature is between 18 to 28 degrees. Hoya has poor cold resistance; it almost stops growing when the temperature drops below 15 degrees and can be frozen to death when the temperature drops below 5 degrees, so special attention should be paid to keeping warm during winter.
