Recently, a leafy green plant called heather has been actively hunted by sisters to decorate the house to create a cool feeling. In particular, even if it is a branch, just plugging in water can play for a whole month. This is not a tree species of Vietnam but has to be imported from Japan, so the price is quite expensive. The price of heather varies from 300,000 to 600,000 VND/branch, from 1.3 to 1.6 meters high. There are even beautiful branches that are 2-2.2 meters high and cost up to 1.4 million VND. At the end of the flowering season, heather can still be used as a decoration for a long time, until about October onwards, it is no longer available.

They are often found in temperate countries such as Japan, Russia, Belgium, … This is one of the favorite plants to grow indoors in a minimalist style, especially heather has no scent so anyone can play. Around August is the time when heather flowers, growing dense clusters, colors from pink, red, purple like pomegranate clusters swaying in the wind extremely beautifully. Heather has the advantage that even at the end of the flowering season, the large clusters do not fall off but lie on the bush, making the tree and flower can be used for decoration for a very long time. Heather pots must be chosen in accordance with the age of the plant and gradually change to larger pots according to the growth of the roots. Unlike indoor bonsai pots, heather likes to grow in shallow and wide pots. This is the best growing medium for the tree because its roots will grow up after a few years of development. Heather does well and grows best in acidic soils. Should add more mud and humus to add enough organic matter for the plant. Good drainage under the pot is also important so that the roots do not become waterlogged. Heather branches are like peaches and pears in Vietnam but are quite small and fragile, so when transporting, you have to be careful and gentle otherwise very easy to break.

In addition to depending on the preferences of the homeowner, according to architect Vo The Duy (CTA | Creative Architects), homeowners need to pay attention to the following three factors: The first step is the selection of plant varieties Most urban houses are narrow tube townhouses, the area for the garden is also limited, so choose tree varieties with pile roots (the roots are not too massive, less horizontal growth affects the structure of the building). Plants often lose their leaves and many people, although they like nature, are afraid to sweep leaves because of their busy schedule. Meanwhile, sweeping leaves is also a tree care job, people who love taking care of trees, nature will love this job. However, when the homeowner does not have much time, it is still possible to grow houseplants with varieties of plants with few leaves or less falling or falling seasonally such as peach fairy, sesame buds, Taiwanese eagle … Depending on the preferences and nature of the project, homeowners can choose tree varieties for shade, fruit trees, beautiful flowering trees, shrubs, etc. Therefore, homeowners need to pay attention to coordinate for harmony, have parents. Reasonable arrangement, avoid planting too many varieties causing confusion and confusion. For example, a large tree with beautiful shape or beautiful flowers like star fruit and longan needs space and space to be able to exploit the beauty, avoid planting many varieties of trees that are crowded or obscured. The accompanying plants should be low trees, not too prominent in color or just gravel to clean the area below the tree. If you mix shrubs, you need to choose 3-4 varieties, don’t choose too many or you will get confused. Priority is given to varieties with beautiful leaves, larger size to make the main point, the rest are varieties with small leaves or different leaf shapes and colors to honor the main tree. Arrange trees and shrubs in Wall house (CTA|Creative Architects). The second is the planting location The location should be well-lit, ventilated and spaced enough to ensure the growth needs of the tree as well as a place with a good location. The planting locations are usually arranged in the front, backyard or atrium, skylight to meet the above requirements as well as increase the aesthetics of the building. In addition, for large plants, it is required to avoid positions such as beams and large beams because of structural safety factors. In addition, homeowners need to have techniques for planting planting holes to avoid the influence of tree roots on the construction. The requirements for waterproofing and drainage for the plant location also need to be considered when intending to grow plants indoors and need professional advice to ensure technical factors. Finally, homeowners need to pay attention to maintenance Trees need to be cared for and easily replaced if damaged or dead or the owner’s needs. Besides good drainage, the plant also needs to be watered and fertilized regularly. From maintenance requirements, the location of plants may have to be changed to suit reality. Homeowners should install a smart automatic irrigation system to reduce watering and bathing while still enjoying the lush nature in the house.

Green space on Nezhinskaya street in Moscow. Photo: stroi.mos.ru On average, each Moscow resident enjoys 20 square meters of green space, a rate many times higher than in Tokyo, London or Beijing. This comes from two factors: Moscow was originally built among the forests in Russia, followed by the process of creating landscapes and greening the environment in this city since the 18th century. Hill Fort and Boulevard Arc Borovitsky Hill, where the Kremlin is located, is named after the word “bor”, which means “forest” in Russian. In fact, this place was once an oak forest in the 11th century and is now the focus of central streets in Moscow. Another example is St. John’s Church, also once built on a site that was once a typical Russian elm forest and is now Novaya Square, not far from the Kremlin. Moscow historian Pyotr Sytin believes that the church was named after the old forest that guarded the eastern edge of the Kremlin fortress until the 15th century. These places used to be forests with common trees being spruce and pine. The townspeople then cut down the trees for construction purposes. Moscow at that time was in the period of expansion and the forest in the suburbs was cleared to build new housing. But it is these “suburbs” so close to the Kremlin that are now the heart of the city. Until the 17th century, places like Trubnaya Square were still largely covered with forests. In the early 19th century, many trees could still be seen growing close to the wall around the Kremlin. Catherine the Great, the queen who wanted to renovate the old capital, ordered the construction of the “Arch of Boulevard”. These boulevards were built on the basis of the “White City” (Belyi Gorod) which was the third defensive belt around Moscow built with stone walls and fortifications. Russian journalist Vladimir Odoevsky wrote in the 19th century that Moscow is surrounded by boulevards and it is not only the decoration of the city, but also has important meaning. Looking at this green belt, the people of Moscow can proudly say that in summer or winter, healthy people, sick people, adults, children – all can walk around the city, go for a walk. among the trees without fear of being hit by a carriage. After the fire of 1812, another green belt was erected in Moscow, known as the “Sadovoye”, a wide street surrounding the fast-growing downtown, with many flower gardens in the districts. home. The process of “greening” since the beginning of the 20th century The process of strong urbanization starting from the October revolution (1917) has caused the flow of people to flock to Moscow more and more. The ancient city was forced to adjust to the transformation of the industrial state. In the 1930s, the government removed the “Royal Court”. Trees in many squares and streets were cut down, and there were even plans to destroy the “Bundle Boulevard”. Gorky Park in Moscow in 1979. Photo: TASS Thankfully, this idea was shelved. In 1947, leader Stalin personally supervised the reconstruction and greening of the city center. The work was carried out quickly. Trees were planted around Dzerzhinsky Square (now Lubyanka Square), Okhotny Ryad Station, Sverdlov Square (now Teatralnaya Square) and Bolotnaya Square. The “greening” was also carried out on a large area from Manezhnaya square to Belorussky metro station. These are the first steps to help green the central area of ​​​​Moscow. In 1951, the Moscow government selected 272 greening projects in the capital. By 1961, afforestation workers had planted more than 500,000 trees and shrubs in the city, with a variety of trees such as small-leaved linden, green-leaved spruce, pine, barberry shrub, rose… This period saw the birth of a series of the largest public parks in Moscow, from Gorky Park, to Sokolniki Park, Izmailovsky Park, Losiny Ostrov National Park – the largest urban park in Europe. with an area of ​​over 300 square kilometers. Currently, green space in Moscow is strictly controlled. Since 2013, the city government has launched an initiative to plant one million trees, focusing on creating a garden landscape in the backyards of buildings. The felling of trees in Moscow is strictly regulated. If because of construction work, contractors and investors can still cut down trees, but must ensure the principle that cutting down an old tree must plant two new trees.

To neutralize evil air is not difficult, you just need to place a pot of ivy or shrub in front of the column. This way is both simple but also helps decorate the space more beautiful. 3 bedrooms Many people like to put plants in their bedroom but this is absolutely not recommended. At night, ornamental plants release carbon dioxide instead of oxygen. Meanwhile, humans need oxygen to breathe. If you go to bed in a room with many bonsai, it will be difficult to get a good night’s sleep due to lack of oxygen. Therefore, placing ornamental plants in the bedroom is not only bad for feng shui but also harmful to health. So in the bedroom it is best not to put any plants. 4. Kitchen room Feng shui thinks that the kitchen is where money flows in, so placing bonsai in the kitchen will create positive energy.

The famous Roman arena in Italy Referring to the Roman arena, people often talk about a large area that can accommodate tens of thousands of people with ancient and beautiful designs in Italy. But recently archaeologists discovered a Roman arena in Turkey, very similar to the famous one in Rome but much smaller in size. Arena in Turkey used to host gladiator matches about 1,800 years ago with a capacity of 20,000 people. Meanwhile, the Roman arena in Rome began construction in AD 70, when the Vespasian emperor, with a total capacity of about 50,000 to 80,000 spectators. Archaeologists locate the arena amidst the ruins of the ancient city Mastaura, Aydin province. The arena was partially buried and obscured by vegetation. Ancient roman arena discovered in Turkey The building has gladiator lounges and guest rooms. The whole monuments are preserved in good condition. Like the Roman arena in Italy, the arena in Turkey was built in the shape of a circle, instead of the typical semicircle of many ancient buildings.
Archaeologist Sedat Akkurnaz of Adnan Menderes University, who led the study, said the discovery was unique. Sedat Akkurnaz said: “This is the only example of such a solid existence in Anatolia. The structure is difficult to detect because it is heavily obscured by bushes, wild trees. Most of the arena is below ground. The arena is very sturdy as if it had just been built, meanwhile, the rest of the structure is on the ground, consisting of several rows of arena seats and external support walls. The dome-building technique of Roman architecture looks very good. Archaeologist Sedat Akkurnaz also explained that the arena is the venue for gladiator battles and wildlife. Near the old city of Mastaura, there are many major cities in western Anatolia such as Aphrodisias, Miletus, Priene, Magnesia and Ephesus. Therefore, people from neighboring cities also come to Mastaura to witness the battles with their own eyes. Part of the wall of the ancient arena in Turkey Experts believe that the arena in Turkey was built during the reign of Severan dynasty, during the Roman empire. This royal lineage includes the infamous Caracalla, his father Septimius Severus, who died in York after his campaign to conquer Scotland. Archaeologist Sedat Akkurnaz said: “We do not know exactly who the emperor was. But through the stone construction, the construction of the building, I think it was at the same time as the Severus dynasty. The city of Mastaura was very prosperous and prosperous. It was during this period that the Roman administrators greatly helped the city. There was a considerable increase in the number and variety of Mastauran coins during this period ” . Although the arena in Mastaura cannot match the structures in Rome in terms of scale, it is still a remarkable area. Sedat Akkurnaz said: “At this stage, it is difficult to accurately or approximate the audience. Our initial estimate was between 15,000 and 20,000. The gladiators had their own lounges, the audience was excellent. first has entertainment room “. In the near future, with the support of the local authorities, they will take action to conserve the parts most at risk of failure. According to Sedat Akkurnaz, there are cracks in the walls of the building, some of the stones are falling.

Indoor plants bring a lot of benefits, both providing oxygen, absorbing carbonic for cool fresh air, and bringing the element of water room that brings luck and health to the family. However, many people still wonder what tree to choose in the house to suit the house area. Below, architect Bui The Long CTA | Creative Architects will share the secrets of choosing indoor plants in the most complete and detailed way. Big crops Larger trees are large-sized perennials with shade and landscape effects. For these types of plants, it is necessary to note that the planting position such as the planting spot must have enough area, light for the growth of the pot to not affect the foundation, house structure. Therefore, the open-floor space, the courtyard or front and back yard must be large enough. The minimum area for planting pots is about 2 mx 2 m to ensure good growth and natural light to plant these big trees. Large trees need to be planted in a well-lit area and have an area to grow plants without affecting the foundation. Usually, architects design to incorporate large plants under the indoor floor space. Currently, the popular varieties are star fruit, Taiwanese eagle, peach blossom or sesame buds … These plants are relatively easy to grow indoors, easy to live, grow well, do not require much fertilization or lighting time. large and easy to find on the market. However, when planting, it is still necessary to professional green tree construction teams to properly treat the substrate, drain water as well as the roots to ensure the survival rate of the tree as well as not affect the longevity and structure of the building. . Shrubs Shrubs are herbaceous plants, about 1.2 to 1.5 m in height. Plants can be planted in pots, on walls in large patches or in pots. For shrubs, the species is very diverse and also creates a good landscape for the house such as lan Y, honeysuckle, wealth, fortune, prince, five packaging … The planting place requires enough light for the tree to grow, it can be arranged under a large tree or planted in a tree tub next to a window, a sky well … limit planting in places that are too humid, dark like under a bridge. ladder. Places where natural light is difficult will be difficult to periodically expose the tree to the sun. The place to plant shrubs also requires enough light and can be located under a large tree or planted in a tree tub next to a window or sky well. The planting method should be planted in high strata, tall plants planted inside, in the middle, lower trees outside around to fill the gaps under tall shrubs. Choose shrubs with different leaf sizes to overlap, limit leaves with too many colors and plant sporadic to disturb the plant structure. Treating the soil for shrubs is simpler than for trees, the owner can do by himself. However, for green tree walls, a professional green tree construction team is required. Convolve The liana shape is a green tree that is commonly grown indoors, especially the houses that have limited planting area but still bring green color and good shade. The most popular trees on the market today are betel nut, ten thousand young people, Indian chrysanthemum, lizards … Vines are planted in the pines of the floor. Vines provide shade and landscape in front of the porch. The liana plant does not require an area, large volume of soil for the roots, but the liana still needs enough light for photosynthesis. Especially plants such as confetti, military history … With a long drop shape, the vine is suitable for the position of an elevated tank or pot such as a pine area, a balcony, a staircase, a porch, a fence …
