Brief information about the Greenhouse.
The greenhouse, which is part of the territorial-structural division of the Tashkent Botanical Garden named after Academician F.N. Rusanov, was founded in 1997 and consists of 6 departments. It occupies an area of 1200 m2, including a laboratory building. 2 large blocks are 3 m deep and 10 m high. In addition, there are 4 small blocks 5.5 m high. Each block has reservoirs where various experiments with aquatic and wetland plants are carried out. Currently, more than 400 tropical and subtropical plants grow in the greenhouse of the Botanical Garden. This is especially important, since most of these plants are introduced plants brought from other countries.
Each block is organized by plant families, orders, and species. For example, block 1 mainly contains cactus, aloe, agaves, and yucca, and the pond supports eichornia. Each plant in the greenhouse has its own decorative properties, adaptability to climatic conditions and, of course, medicinal and healing properties.
And today there are also plants that bloom even in the winter season. These flowers add even more beauty to our greenhouse with their beauty and decorativeness.
Begonia - the name Begonia is given in honor of the French intendant of the colonies Michel Begon. The genus Begonia is the largest and most famous in the Begoniaceae family, numbering over 1000 species. Begonias are widespread in tropical rainforests, as well as in mountains at an altitude of 3000-4000 m above sea level, less often in dry habitats of tropical and subtropical regions. The largest number of begonia species is in South America, whose range in the north reaches Mexico. Begonia is one of the most popular decorative flowering and decorative foliage plants. In floriculture, begonias are used with equal success in open and protected ground. Most begonias bloom all summer, but if given the right conditions, they can bloom in both fall and winter. Most begonias are used as decorative foliage and flowering plants for landscaping residential premises when creating compositions and as single indoor plants. They are also used in hanging indoor plants, in winter gardens, and in hanging baskets.
Clivia (lat. Clívia) is a genus of perennial evergreen herbaceous plants of the amaryllis family. Botanist John Lindley named the genus Clivia in honor of the Duchess of Northumberland. Perennial, herbaceous plants reaching a height of approximately 60 cm. Vaginal, leathery, belt-shaped leaves, tightly covering each other, form a false stem. The flowers are funnel-shaped or tubular, orange, reddish-orange or yellowish-pink, collected in a dense multi-flowered umbel (up to 60 flowers).
