The most beautiful indoor flowers
There are many ways to effectively decorate a home interior, but no solution can be compared with "living" decorations - indoor flowers. Many people choose beautiful plants for their homes, with which the environment takes on a particularly cozy, lively and hospitable look. In this article, we'll take a closer look at attractive indoor flowers.
The most unpretentious
Most flower growers (both beginners and more experienced) try to look for unpretentious plants to decorate their homes. These green pets do not need complicated and expensive care. Let's get acquainted with some non-capricious indoor flowers and find out what distinctive features they have.
Geranium
A popular plant from the Geraniev family. Geranium originates from South Africa. This flower is famous for its unpretentiousness. He does not need complicated care. Geranium is grown very simply, so it can be safely placed in your house even by that florist who does not have much experience in such matters. A flower can become an unobtrusive but attractive interior decoration. With him, the atmosphere will certainly come to life.
Geranium differs in that it blooms almost all year round. The main thing that is required from the grower is to control the state of the plant's appearance. If withered inflorescences were noticed, they must be removed without fail. Young shoots need to be pinched in order to accelerate the growth of the culture. Pinching has a positive effect on geranium flowering.
If you do not forget about the systematic pruning of an indoor flower, it will always remain aesthetic and well-groomed.
The indoor flower in question feels good under normal temperature conditions in the summer season. In winter, geraniums will be comfortable if the ambient temperature does not drop below 10 degrees. Proper watering of geraniums cannot be neglected. This wonderful, non-capricious plant needs abundant watering, but only after the upper earthen layer has dried. Geranium thrives in dry air. You do not need to spray the plant. Geranium can grow up to 30-40 cm. The flower grows well in sunny places and prefers good sod soil. Geranium propagation is required at the same time as pruning.
Anthurium
Anthurium comes from the largest Aroid family. The plant has a spectacular, eye-catching appearance. In certain interiors, these indoor flowers can easily take on the role of bright accents. Anthurium has leaf blades, the shape of which varies - it is heart-shaped, spatulate, rounded. There are also specimens with dissected leaves. The surface of the sheet plates is usually smooth and glossy or matte.
The main advantage of anthurium is its charming, bright flowers. They can have a variety of colors, for example, juicy red, snow white, purple. A rich "veil" seems to cover an inflorescence-ear, which can have the following forms:
- clavate;
- conical;
- spiral;
- spherical.
Usually the flowers themselves are located as close as possible to each other on the cob. Outwardly, they look more like small squares or rhombuses. Another distinguishing feature of the indoor flower in question is that different flowers exude different aromas. The plant can smell strong, pleasant, and even smelly.
Anthurium is able to bloom throughout the year, if you take care of sufficient lighting. Flowers can survive on the plant for a long time (up to one and a half months). In the course of pollination of flowers, it is possible to get ripe fruits - small berries of yellow or orange color with a couple of seeds.
Unfortunately, over time, anthuriums inevitably age, lose their original decorative effect... Their foliage becomes smaller, the trunk dries up. In such situations, one has to resort to the forced "rejuvenation" of the plant.
Anthuriums attract florists with their attractive decorative appearance. They can be used to decorate both ordinary homes and offices.
Saintpaulia
Otherwise, this delicate and cute plant is called the African violet. Such a charming indoor flower is long-growing, which attracts the attention of many flower growers. Saintpaulia comes from tropical Africa. The plant can bloom for 6-10 months a year, if you take care of its correct content. Diffused light and a temperature of 18 to 25 degrees are ideal for a flower.
The plant does well in humid air, but should not be sprayed. This is due to the fact that when water hits the leaf plates, characteristic brown spots may appear on their surface. The same defect also occurs when Saintpaulia is exposed to aggressive direct rays of the sun.
When growing an African violet, you need to remember about moderate watering. For this, you can use extremely warm and settled water.
Watering is one of the main secrets of effective growth of the crop in question. If you water the Saintpaulia correctly, it will grow beautiful and healthy, with good immunity.
With the onset of winter, it is important to ensure that the indoor flower in question does not "freeze". For this purpose, the temperature should be maintained between +18 and 20 degrees Celsius. We'll also have to take care of good lighting. Many people place a piece of Styrofoam on their windowsill, which can be an effective shield against the cold. In cultivation, this plant shows itself to be unpretentious, but certain difficulties may arise due to thin and vulnerable petioles and leaves. You need to handle such a flower as carefully and carefully as possible.
Decembrist
The Decembrist is a bush with branched stems, the average length of which is from 30 to 40 cm. Each stem consists of miniature segments resembling small leaves with projections at the edges. It must be borne in mind that the root system of this plant is its weak point. If you do not take care of favorable conditions, the roots can quickly begin to weaken, after which they risk dying altogether. If the plant is in an ideal environment for it, then the occurrence of unnecessary problems is minimized.
The Decembrists are distinguished by their airy roots. They are able to absorb moisture, literally taking it in from the air around them. This indoor beauty blooms with spectacular tubular flowers, collected in several tiers. The flowers themselves appear on the tops of the shoots from the segments. Each bud is endowed with a bundle of elongated, beautifully falling stamens. In natural conditions, the culture in question grows with flowers of snow-white or red color. Breeders have bred other varieties with more interesting raspberry, purple and yellow colors.
The Decembrist is an interesting looking plant that does not tolerate exposure to direct sunlight. Temperature surges and dry air can also negatively affect the health of these green pets. In winter, a blooming culture can be displayed on the southern windowsill, and in summer and spring, a handsome Decembrist will feel great being on the north or east side. In order for this interesting bush to grow evenly, from time to time it needs to be turned in the direction of the light in different directions. True, flowering plantings are neither rotated nor moved from their place.
If the weather is hot outside or radiators are working at home, the Decembrists need to be sprayed with water in a timely manner, and sometimes even bathed under a "shower". The soil in the pot must be covered with foil in advance. Around the flower, you can increase the level of humidity by placing pallets next to them with wet pebbles lying inside them. This flower does not have any special requirements for temperature values. It can grow easily at temperatures of +37 degrees and +2 degrees Celsius. However, these conditions can be extreme for the plant, so you should avoid them.
Crassula
Nice succulent plant, which is also called "fat woman". Under natural conditions, crassula of both herbaceous and watery types is found. You can also meet tree shrubs. Indoor succulents are both miniature and large. Plants that are at home are always more compact than their "congeners" growing in nature. First of all, in its size, Crassula is limited by the volume of soil mixture, the surrounding space. Over time, the fat woman will certainly turn into a tree with a small, but thick and dense trunk.
Crassula is distinguished by leaf plates, which are whole-edged and simple. Some species have interesting ciliate leaves. Lateral or terminal inflorescences may appear tassel-like or umbellate-paniculate. In their composition, you can find small flowers that have yellow, red, pale blue or snow-white color. However, it must be borne in mind that in indoor conditions the fat woman blooms extremely rarely. This culture is insanely popular, found in many homes.
Crassula is often chosen for further cultivation, because it does not require complex care, constant monitoring. This plant is hardy and strong, has strong immunity.
