Evergreen climbing plants: why choose fast growing ones
Evergreen climbing plants are an excellent solution to create a green and decorative environment while covering, at the same time, walls, fences or fences. They, planted in pots and directly in the ground, are able to make even a small and narrow space very fascinating and evocative as, developing vertically, they furnish without cluttering too much. There are many varieties of evergreen plants, however we recommend choosing the so-called "evergreen", that is, those that do not lose their leaves in winter but that maintain green vegetation and bushy even in the cold season.
In general, evergreen climbing plants have a flexible and not very large stem, however their real peculiarity lies in the fact that they can climb by clinging to the support near which they are placed. The fast-growing ones that we recommend in this article are particularly spectacular because, thanks to the fast pace with which they propagate, they are able to create real green, impenetrable and covering walls.
How to successfully grow evergreen climbing plants and guarantee them fast and lush growth

As for watering, about three or four a week are enough (but even less if the soil is still wet). A trick is to look at the leaves at the base: if they are no longer green but tend to turn yellow, then it's time to pour some water.
Climbing plants can also be successfully cultivated in pots, while if they are placed in the ground, care must be taken to cover the base when winter arrives.
