What kind of indoor plants can be kept in the apartment. What flowers to keep at home

There are indoor plants that can not be kept at home - I would like to mention the photo and the names of these flowers in this article. We all subconsciously strive for unity with nature, someone has a summer cottage, and someone, for his lack of it, seeks to create a green corner in his apartment. Sometimes we are impressed by the beauty, the bright colors of the next flower, we strive to get it as soon as possible to decorate our home.

When buying a flower, we do not always think about the consequences and sometimes we start to feel bad or our pets suddenly fall ill. Among the inhabitants of the green world there are a lot of poisonous representatives, sometimes the most beautiful of them are completely unsuitable for home maintenance.

Of course, to describe them all here is not possible, but I would like to focus on the most common ones - those whose attractive views we admire in the windows of flower shops. Some species contain toxic compounds, emit into the atmosphere poisons, harmful pollen. Some flowers are not recommended to settle where you sleep. If you have small children or inquisitive four-legged pets who strive to try everything on a tooth, you should be doubly careful and attentive when choosing home colors.

Remember that individual flowers can actively produce toxic substances during irrigation or watering.

What kind of indoor plants can be kept in the bedroom or nursery?

From the atmosphere in the bedroom depends on your sleep, well-being and, finally, family relationships. You can not place in the bedroom of poisonous representatives - those who emit toxic spores into the air or provoke allergies.

Choose your choice of chlorophytum, laurel, potted rosemary or lavender.

Purifies the air, produces oxygen, geranium, camellia, Spathiphyllum, Begonia, Kalanchoe, Aloe, Saintpaulias. These indoor plants for the bedroom are really able to relieve stress after a busy day, remove insomnia, and soothe the nervous system.

But monster, ferns, ficuses, strongly smelling lilies, gardenias, oleanders should not be settled where you sleep.

It is also not recommended to have too many flower pots in the same room - in a humid environment (soil) all kinds of fungi start up faster.

If people suffer from asthma or allergies, then, of course, it is better not to place flowers in the bedroom at all.

Houseplants for a child's room are the same volatile production that produce useful components, purify the air, have a detrimental effect on bacteria and viruses. For a nursery, it is better to choose unpretentious flowers that are resistant to "injuries" (cutting off leaves, breaking stems). Children, as it is known, are still restless, therefore any complex or capricious flower is unlikely to take root if it becomes the object of close attention of young researchers.

Hibiscus, lemon, myrtle, chlorophyllum, tangerine, balsam, hippeastrum, eucalyptus, phalaenopsis are perfect for a child's room. These green residents perfectly purify the air, produce oxygen, fight toxins, all sorts of bacteria.

Universal flowers for home

A beautiful green flower, and even with a gorgeous bloom, is able to completely change the interior, and bring a touch of comfort even to the most unattractive room. For avid flower growers, they become a part of life and receive appropriate care and all the conditions for growth.

But most of the housewives sometimes just do not have enough time to bestow the green inhabitant of the house due attention and care. Work, family, household chores, lead to the fact that once a woman finds a herbarium on her windowsill and nothing remains, how to throw another plant in the trash.

If you choose bulbs, make sure they are solid and have no holes or seedlings. When buying indoor plants, pay attention to any dangerous symptoms - roots sticking out of drainage holes, empty space between the compost and the inside of the pot, soft leaves, etc.

Plants must be wrapped or in plastic packaging that can protect them in the winter. The danger of cold air when driving home is obvious. Less obvious is the damage that can be caused to plants in the trunk of a car at the height of summer. If possible, transport the plant in a box in the back seat.

Try to provide a new plant a period of acclimatization. Keep it away from direct sunlight and drafts for several weeks, and be careful when watering. Do not move it from one place to another, seeking to find the "proper" position. Just leave it alone in a moderately warm place away from the sun. The loss of one or two leaves during this period is normal for a new plant.

The situation is different with flowering pot plants, such as azaleas, chrysanthemums and cyclamens, which grow in bloom in winter. Put them on permanent seats at once and provide as much light as possible.

What flowers and plants can and should be kept at home

There is a certain standard which flowers can be kept at home without danger to health. There are also beliefs and conclusions of scientists about what kind of plant should be kept at home for the well-being and good health of the whole family. There are six basic forms in which almost all houseplants fit. There are also intermediate cases, and some plants change shape from one to another with age. Size is another important factor when buying a plant. Low-growing varieties can be lost on the background of a large bare wall, and a tall tree plant is not suitable for a narrow window sill. Remember that you can buy young plants that can grow the size of a child in a few years.

What flowers and plants to plant and grow at home?

Before you decide on what kind of flower to plant at home, you need to decide where it will stand and what function to perform. What plants to plant at home, everyone chooses for himself, for example, upright flowers have a distinctly vertical growth pattern. Among them are both the lowest and highest of houseplants. Medium-sized vertical plants are an integral part of the pot group, providing a sense of height and compensating for the horizontal effect created by rosette and ampelous plants. High upright varieties are often used as single plants.

To determine which flowers to grow at home will help some knowledge, for example, columnar plants have thick vertical stems, either leafless or bearing leaves that do not violate the effect of the columns. Such a growth pattern in many cacti and some succulents.

Examples:

Kleistokaktus Strauss

Leninghaus Notocactus

Trees are used in large rooms as single plants and in many compositions as a central element. The trees have a central branched or unbranched stem and leaves with small petioles. Some are rather small, such as miniature succulent "trees"; others can grow to the ceiling.

Examples:

Ficus Benjamin,

False palms have stems that, while the plants are young, are completely covered with elongated leaf bases. In an adult plant, usually only the upper part of the trunk is covered with leaves and the characteristic effect of a “false palm” appears.

What flowers to make at home

Before you decide which flowers to make at home, you should learn about bush plants - these are varieties that do not fit into other groups. Usually they have several stems growing right out of the compost, with a growth pattern that is not imperceptibly vertical or horizontal. They can be small and compact, like peperomia, or tall and bushy, like aucuba. Some plants are naturally thick, others need to be pinned regularly to cause tillering.

What houseplant to choose from cereals

Cereals have long, narrow leaves and a growth pattern like that of grasses. Very few true cereals are grown as houseplants. If desired, you can grow in the room open-grass cereal. For example, calamus, arundinaria, sedge and ophiopogon can be used. Which indoor plant to choose from cereals, depends largely on the overall design of the interior.

Shirokolistnye grass-like plants are much more popular - Chlorophytum crested is widely grown.

Some flowering plants also have grass-like leaves, for example:

Spherical plants

Globular plants are leafless and have the shape of a ball. Almost all of them are cacti. The surface of the stem can be smooth or covered with hairs and spikes.

Examples:

Mammillaria

Notocactus

Rebution is tiny

Echinocactus.

Rosette plants

Rosette plants carry leaves arranged in a circle around a central point of growth.

Most rosette plants are stunted and go well with bushy and erect plants in potted groups and indoor gardens.

Flat rosette plants

Flat rosette plants have large leaves that lie almost horizontally, forming a loose rosette. A number of attractive flowering plants have this nature of growth.

Examples:

Succulent rosette plants have fleshy leaves, arranged in several layers and often close to each other. Such an arrangement helps retain moisture in their natural habitat.

Examples:

Aloe squat

Echeveria bristly.

Voronkovidnye rosette plants are widely distributed among bromeliads. Wide belt-like leaves form a “funnel” that keeps rainwater in their natural tropical habitat.

Examples:

Nidularium

Creepers and ampelous plants: what to choose

Climbers and ampelous plants have stems that are either tied to a support so that they grow upward or leave to hang down the outside of the container. Many varieties can be used in both ways. As curly they are formed on pegs, cords, trellis, wire hoops, vertical poles, in wall pots for framing a window or on a support serving as a partition. As ampelous, they can be used to grow on a horizontal surface or to go down the sides of a pot.

Creepers are always grown as vertical plants. Curly varieties twist around provided supports. Clinging species with tendrils should be attached to supports at regular intervals; if left to grow unattended, the stems will soon go awry together. Varieties with aerial roots are best grown on a moss stick.

Examples:

Hanging Begonia

Flowers for dark corners

There is a temptation to liven up a dark corner with houseplants. But for the plants to survive, they need light. Flowers for dark corners should have a high level of shade and do not need a lot of UV light for their growth.

Here is a test that will show whether there is enough light: It should be possible to read a newspaper in the darkest part of the corner at the end of the morning or the beginning of the day, and plants on a sunny day should cast at least vague shadows.

It is good if the surfaces of the corner are plastered or painted in white or light color. The mirror surface is even more useful. You can use light-loving species for several weeks and then rearrange them for a week or two in a bright place to recuperate. An alternative way is to buy pots with brightly colored flowering species and treat them as a temporary composition just as you would treat cut flowers in a vase.

Unpretentious plants

There is a group of plants that can put up with a variety of conditions - dark and cold corners, bright and stuffy rooms, periods of oblivion, and so on. Grow some unpretentious plants, if you are convinced that everything you touch will die. These plants will survive if you do not keep the compost wet, and you do not burn them in the summer on the unopened sill on the south side. As a rule, you can water them once a week during the growing season and once every two weeks in the winter.
