Plant configuration in residential areas in Central and South China is super practical!


1. Plant configuration requirements.


The greening construction of newly built residential areas should be based on Changsha’s cold winter and hot summer climate characteristics, adhere to tree planting as the main approach, adapt to local conditions, plant trees suitable for the site, combine trees, shrubs, flowers, grasses and vines, pay attention to the diversity of plant species, and improve the ecological content of residential greening.


1. The ratio of deciduous trees to evergreen trees is generally 6:4, and the ratio of trees to shrubs is generally 1:3-6.


2. Rich plant species:
(1) For green areas below 3,000 square meters, there must be at least 20 species;
(2) For green areas between 3,000 and 10,000 square meters, there must be at least 30 species;
(3) For green areas between 10,000 and 20,000 square meters, there must be at least 40 species;
(4) For green areas above 20,000 square meters, there must be at least 50 species.


3. Reasonably arrange trees, shrubs and vines, ground cover plants, bamboos, aquatic plants (see Appendix 1 for details), colorful leaf plants, flowering shrubs, aromatic plants and perennial (perennial) flowers (see Appendix 2 for details).


4. Reasonably allocate health-care plants that are beneficial to health (see Appendix 3 for details).


5. Appropriately arrange bird-loving plants and nectar plants to attract birds and insects and create a living environment where humans and nature coexist in harmony (see Appendix 4 for details).


6. According to the characteristics of plants and their ornamental functions, rationally arrange plant communities to beautify the residential environment (see Appendix 5 for details).


2. Implementation requirements.


The implementation of greening construction in new residential areas should be based on local conditions and protect the original natural topography.


1. Preserve the original green space and plants, especially large-sized trees.
2. Before planting, soil improvement should be carried out according to the actual situation.
3. The walls of residential areas along urban roads should be transparent and integrated with the urban road landscape.
4. After planting, the names of plants should be marked to popularize greening knowledge and improve the public's level of green appreciation and green protection awareness.
5. Plant trees scientifically to improve the survival rate at one time.
6. The greening of residential areas should focus on "three parts planting and seven parts management", and establish a special team for maintenance and management.
7. Promote roof greening, balcony greening, and vertical greening to improve the greening effect of residential areas.

arborvitae March-April Pollen is rich and peanut branches are easy to eat Haha, it reminds me that our unit once made a plan with the five sense organs as the design theme.
At that time, there was an auditory garden with "bird-loving plants" as the main theme, and some of the plants in it were used. However, I would like to remind all Zhuyi netizens that it is not easy to plant the ten major merits on a large scale. Powdery mildew is serious. Usually, powdery mildew will occur on a large scale. When the time comes, thinning and pruning will greatly increase the maintenance cost, and you will be scolded by the maintenance company.
