Houseplants and beautiful house flowers

Not a single cozy apartment is complete without houseplants. Some bloom violently and delight the eye, others remind of tropical countries, and still others twist, entwining everything with their greenery. What type of indoor plants should you choose to add flavor to your home?

Indoor plants can be roughly divided into flowering and non-flowering plants. The most popular are representatives of the flora, pleasing to the eye with their flowering. However, not all flowering plants can decorate a home for years.

Houseplants

Having chosen home indoor flowers, it is recommended to study their growing characteristics, watering regime, the presence or absence of toxic substances in the juice of the green part. It so happens that the hostess chooses a green beauty for her interior, rejoices at the carving of the sheet and high growth. Simultaneously with the appearance of a new potty tenant in the house, one of the family members may suddenly feel a fit of suffocation, especially when the windows are closed. This is due to the fact that some plants in the process of life release toxic substances, but attract people with their appearance.

Important! Such flowers can be safely kept in ventilated areas in office premises.

Types of indoor plants

From a scientific point of view, indoor plants are divided not only into flowering and evergreen. They can be classified according to a wide variety of criteria: by belonging to the climatic zone, type of root system, method of reproduction and many others.

All indoor flowers are divided into three large groups:

decorative blooming (spathiphyllum, anthurium, daffodils);
decorative flowering potted plants (orchids);
decorative deciduous (ivy, ficus, monstera).

Additional Information! Cacti are distinguished into a separate group, despite the fact that many of them are flowering, ornamental, and potted.

Bulbous plants

Bulbous flowers are considered some of the most spectacular in appearance during the flowering period. Many are able to delight for a long time with bright flowers and bizarre shapes of buds. Among them are zephyranthes, clivia, amarkrinum, ledeburia, villlota, hemantus. All bulbs love warmth, light and moisture. Therefore, if a representative of this class does not bloom for a long time, you should pay attention to the composition of the soil, timely watering and the amount of sunlight received by the flower.

Clivia

Indoor trees

Among other equally well-known ornamental trees, one can distinguish: bottle, ficus, fat tree (money tree), rose tree.

Bromeliads

Indoor flowers and flowering plants with names

Despite all the diversity of the plant world, suitable for indoor keeping, there is still a certain "standard set" of flowers that live on window sills and in hanging pots.

White indoor flower

Perennial spatsiphyllum can be seen, if not in everyone, then in half of all flower growers for sure. The perennial, absolutely not requiring special attention, pleases with its large white flowering. Breeders have bred varieties with large leaves. Spatsiphyllum-giants are not capricious, they bloom in the same colors as the classic relative.

Spathiphyllum of different sizes

Abutilon hybrid

The only growing popularity is abutilone - a blossoming tree flower. May exceed human height in height. Flowering, depending on the variety, can be red, burgundy, orange, coral.

Attention! To ensure lush flowering, the plant should be placed on the sunny side of the dwelling. Abutilone will survive in the shade, but it will not show flowers.

Although he is light-loving, he cannot stand the heat. The maximum possible temperature in the spring and summer months should not exceed 22 degrees Celsius. In winter, this figure is even lower - + 15˚С. With the beginning of the heating season, it is wiser to place a pot with a flower on a heated balcony, where it will be comfortable until spring.

Abutilon can be propagated by seeds collected after flowering. To obtain strong and disease-resistant plants, the seed must be hardened. Sowing begins in February - March, germination can take up to 3 weeks.

Gloxinia home

Similar in appearance to violets, gloxinia has a significant difference - its root system is in the form of a tuber, and in winter it retires. Each time after wintering, the tuber needs to be woken up in order to accelerate the appearance of leaves, treating it with a solution of potassium permanganate against possible diseases and growth stimulants for active awakening. To help gloxinia move away from sleep, the tubers are placed on a peat pillow, regularly sprayed and kept at a temperature of at least + 23˚С. If a tuber looks shriveled, with an uneven surface, it is no longer alive.

Gloxinia bloom

Important! Gloxinia does not tolerate direct sunlight, a lack of light will force the plant to stretch out the stems and reduce the number of buds.

Venus flytrap

The predatory venus really hunts flies, thereby obtaining additional food for itself, but this does not negate regular watering. She is sensitive to the composition of water, so the water supply as a source will not work for her. The water must first be filtered. The flycatcher is photophilous, will not survive in the shade.

Calathea

The variegated beauty pleases with its leaves all year round. From spring to autumn, it requires abundant watering and daily spraying. The most accessible calatheas for growing in apartments are Bahema, Veicha, Makoya. For irrigation, soft water without salt impurities is suitable. The flower can be transplanted by neat transshipment together with an earthen lump, having previously laid drainage on the bottom of a new pot. If you want to propagate the plant during the spring transplant, dividing the bush is allowed.The shoots, together with the root, are carefully removed from the main bush for subsequent planting.
