What is Akebia?

Akebia is a genus of plants that is part of the Lardizabalaceae family. It consists of five types of deciduous climbing vineyards that come from Japan, Korea and China. They can grow up to 40 feet (about 12 m) in length and usually have fragrant red-violet flowers. Cylindrical fruit in the shape of shape, which are 3-5 inches (about 7-13 cm) long growth after flowers. The roots, wine vines and fruit of some Akebia species were used in Asia to produce wine and the treatment of certain diseases.

a. Quinata , also known as chocolate vines, is one of the species of the genus Akebia, which is used for healing purposes. It has a characteristic five leaflet and black seeds that are built into white pulp. Seed extracted oil is usually used to make soap.

Another species, a. Trifoliata , has a structure of three leaflets and fruits that grow in groups of three. It contains a number of triterpens and triterpen saponins, which are molecule, which are precursors of steroids. Their medical applications are subject toseveral scientific questions. The wine vines usually require a well -drained soil that is light and a place that is partially overshadowed. Flowers bloom with warm springs and fruits require hot temperatures throughout the summer. In a slight climate, wine vines can become invasive and generally require pruning at the end of autumn or early spring.

Plants

Akebia are promoted by seeds, cuts and layering. Slices are usually placed in pots full of sandy soil until roots that usually occur in two weeks are developing. The layering includes the insertion of the end of the Akebia shoots into the ground with the sticks until the roots become in the ground. Seeds can be sown in sandy soil, usually in shallow boxes or Pots, which are placed in a cold frame or greenhouse.

A common pest of Akebia is the moth suction of fruit that has red eyes and light brown to yellow body. They usually plunge into the fruit andDuring the night time she puts eggs. The installation of outdoor light designed to turn on the insects and wrap the fruit in brown bags until mature can help reduce contamination.

Another problem with atebia growing is fungal diseases called powder mold, which is characterized by white powder spots and spots on leaves, flowers or fruit. Fungicide spray can usually save the plant and prevent future infections. In order to reduce the chances of infection, dead leaves and plant residues from the previous vegetation season should be removed from the garden.
