Houseplants

Indoor plants bring great benefits to humans. Thanks to them, the air becomes cleaner, because green leaves release oxygen, which means it’s easier to breathe in the house. Plants will make dry air more humid and also reduce its toxicity. Some species, such as aloe, are even used in folk medicine as anti-inflammatory and bactericidal agents.

Typically, houseplants are divided into several broad groups:

1) Decorative and decorative-flowering plants - the most common group of plants, as a rule, not particularly demanding to care for, and therefore widespread both in apartments and in municipal institutions. Ornamental plants are usually small shrubs that do not have flowers or fruits. Decorative flowering plants can both bloom and bear fruit.

2) Bromeliads are bright and unusual plants that love moisture. The most famous plant of this species is pineapple. Aechmea is usually grown in indoor conditions. The peculiarity of these plants is that after flowering they usually die.

3) Cacti and succulents are plants that accumulate water in their stems and leaves, so they do not need frequent watering. The most famous succulent is Kalanchoe.

4) Ferns and palms are special types of ornamental plants, famous for their large spreading leaves. They need good hydration not only of the roots, but also of the leaves. They look impressive in large, bright rooms, while ferns are best placed in hanging flowerpots.

Despite such a wide variety of plants, each one is unchanged in three components.

Firstly, strict adherence to temperature conditions is necessary. Each plant has its own, and therefore, before purchasing, you need to familiarize yourself with the conditions of maintenance. Indoor plants do not like sudden changes in temperature, and therefore in winter, if the room is often ventilated, it is worth removing the seedlings from the windowsill to a warmer place. The maximum acceptable temperature, subject to normal humidity, is about 30 degrees.

Secondly, it is important to give the plant the required amount of light. If the plant is light-loving, it is important to place it closer to the sun, and if it gets dark outside early, then it makes sense to purchase a special lamp for plants. Lack of light leads to yellowing and lack of growth. On the contrary, it is better to remove shade-loving plants from window sills and place them in those corners where there is not too much light. Excessive light can cause burns and drying out.

Thirdly, proper watering. The most important thing is to observe it regularly. The watering interval should be even; neither excess nor lack of moisture should be allowed. In addition, any plants need to enrich the soil with microelements.

It is difficult to imagine a modern home without indoor plants. In most apartments you can find at least one pot of violet or cactus. Some even turn their home into a greenhouse. Plants, like pets, need care and attention. Proper care will transform even a seemingly unsightly plant, turning it into a real interior decoration.

Almost every home that loves indoor flowers has chlorophytum. There has been a long-standing debate about its benefits and harms. How do you know if you should keep this plant indoors where people live?

Numerous studies claim that indoor plants release oxygen and absorb carbon dioxide, thereby purifying the room. What can be said about chlorophytum? This is a plant with long dense leaves with a white border around the edges or in the center of the leaf. It does not require special care and is in a friendly neighborhood with other plants. It decorates the interior of the room with its appearance and hanging inflorescences.

In modern homes, synthetic finishing materials are increasingly used for walls, floors, and ceilings, which, when the air temperature changes, emit toxic substances: formaldehyde, phenol, etc. And it is chlorophytum that can reduce the impact of harmful substances on a person in his home.

Florists recommend placing this plant in the kitchen, where the airspace is considered the most polluted and the most harmful substances are released from household appliances, artificial surfaces and gas. The flower is not picky about lighting and sunlight; in addition to purifying the air in the room, chlorophytum is also capable of moisturizing it. After all, the plant comes from the tropics and subtropics. This ability of the flower requires constant watering and not allowing the soil in the pot to dry out.

To enhance the plant’s ability to moisten the room, it is recommended to add activated carbon to the soil. Another amazing ability of chlorophytum is to destroy mold and mildew and counteract microorganisms. But even though the flower is considered unpretentious, it is still necessary to wash its leaves occasionally under running water to remove accumulated dust. In the warm season, this plant looks elegant on a personal plot, adding to the overall design of the area.

They say that this amazing plant is capable of reducing negative energy around itself, is useful for humans and is safe for animals. Chlorophytum is able to harmonize the behavior of people living in the room, and reduces the potential for conflict between them. You can confidently place this amazing plant in your home.

Features of care

Let's learn how to care for decorative indoor plants.

Watering

All plants, without exception, need moisture. And, since in closed ground conditions there is nowhere for flowers to get water, watering is mandatory. Some plants can survive temporary drought, and some begin to wilt at the slightest delay in the next moisturizing procedure. Bulbous and tuberous flowers tolerate drought better due to the moisture reserves accumulated in their fleshy parts. But flowers with thin stems and delicate leaves can die very quickly due to lack of water.

The frequency of watering depends on the time of year, plant variety and ambient temperature. In winter, water is moistened less often, and in cool conditions, too. In any case, before watering, be sure to make sure that the top layer of soil in the pot is already dry.

Feeding

Indoor plants need regular feeding with balanced mineral compounds. Flowers cannot take nutrients, like water, anywhere except from an external source. The soil in the pot, initially nutritious, gradually (sometimes quite quickly) becomes depleted.

Watering, leaching of water with minerals from drainage holes, and the very life of the flower lead to depletion. Only, perhaps, cacti can exist in closed ground conditions and feel good without fertilizing. All other plants require regular fertilization.

Take care to balance the composition; if possible, purchase fertilizers designed specifically for this type of plant. Make sure that the fertilizer contains the main microelements - potassium, nitrogen and phosphorus. Nitrogen is needed for the growth of green mass, potassium for roots and growth, phosphorus for flowering. After the plant begins to bloom, be careful with nitrogen, as it negatively affects the formation of buds.

Loosening

To prevent white salt crust from settling on the surface of the substrate, and also to increase permeability, loosen the substrate regularly. But pay attention to the structure of the root system: if it is superficial, be especially careful.

Trimming and pinching

Many novice gardeners are wary of the pruning procedure, considering it too complicated and traumatic for the plant. However, nothing is impossible, and after a little practice, pruning will no longer seem unattainable.

If we are talking about removing the growth point at the top, then in this case they generally use the simplest technology - pinching. If the flower has thin stems, pinching can be done using two fingers. If the flower is fleshy, it is better to use scissors. For pruning, you always take either a pruner, a knife, or scissors: this procedure cannot be carried out manually.

Transfer

All indoor plants need this procedure, especially in the early years of life. Young flowers grow quickly, so they are replanted every spring in the first three years of life. Adult plants need to change their place of residence much less frequently, and the frequency of replanting depends in this case on the growth rate of the flower, its size, and other circumstances.

Sometimes an unscheduled replanting is required - usually it is carried out in case of plant diseases or severe pest damage. If critical overmoistening of the soil occurs, it is better to replant without waiting for the roots to rot.

If the transplant is planned, a new pot for the young plant is taken 2-3 cm in diameter larger than the old one. Adult flowers, growing slowly, are often transplanted into the same pot: you just need to replace the soil in it.

Date palm

A date palm at home can develop well and delight its owners with its green leaves if certain care requirements are followed. This tropical plant loves sun, warmth and frequent watering. In winter, it is necessary to ensure that the temperature in the room does not fall below +15 degrees. It is better to place the plant near a window that faces south. If there is insufficient light, you can periodically use a lamp for additional illumination.

In summer, make sure that the plant does not stand in a draft. At this time of year, the date palm tree needs to be watered every 2-3 days and sprayed daily. If the summer is too hot, it is better to move the pot with the plant away from the window to avoid direct sunlight.

Asparagus

Asparagus is an indoor perennial flower. With proper care, it will decorate your home for at least 10 years. Let's start by choosing a location for the asparagus. A window that faces east or west is best. Here the flower will receive enough light and at the same time will be protected from direct sunlight. Asparagus is a heat-loving plant, so in the summer it would be a good idea to take it out into the yard or onto the balcony. If the flower is in comfortable conditions for it, you will see it yourself - its leaves will be a rich green color. If the asparagus begins to turn yellow and crumble, then it is worth reconsidering the methods of caring for it.

The varieties of indoor plants amaze with their diversity. Today we have focused on only a few of them. Flowers in your home are an excellent solution for interior decoration. When choosing indoor plants for your home, be sure to pay attention to where it will be located and how often you can water and fertilize it. For example, for a large living room, it is better to choose potted palm plants that require a large space. Deciduous plants that will not irritate you with a pungent odor are suitable for the bedroom. But you can safely place flowering ones in the kitchen. It is better to place pots with cacti near the computer in the children's room, which will absorb harmful radiation.
