The pros and cons of planting creepers

benefit

Beautification

The ivy has dense branches and leaves in summer and can be used to green the walls of houses, rocks in parks, and beautify the environment.

Cooling effect

The stems and leaves of ivy are dense and can cover the entire wall of a house. They can not only block the strong sunlight, but also reduce the indoor temperature due to the air flow between the leaves and the wall.

Cleansing effect

As a barrier, it can absorb noise in the environment and absorb flying dust.

Wet and dry effects

The tendril-like suction cups of ivy can also absorb moisture from the walls, helping to dry out damp houses; and in dry seasons, it can increase humidity.

harm

Disturbance from mosquitoes, insects and snakes

It attracts mosquitoes. If the ivy grows lush green, it is not necessarily a good thing, as it sometimes attracts snakes. Because climbing plants provide ideal hiding and climbing conditions for snakes, some geckos and non-venomous snakes like to live in the branches and leaves of creepers.

The wall was destroyed

It will damage the walls. Once the walls are damaged, snakes and insects may enter the room through the gaps in the walls.
