Do you always forget to water the flowers, like to open windows in cold weather and do not know what feeding is? However, there are houseplants that can get along with you.
Tradescantia at home
Tradescantia
Calmly tolerates coolness, grows quickly, using water sparingly. It will feel best of all on the window, as it is extremely light-requiring. In the shade, the variegated leaves will become monochromatic.
Aspidistra
It is not for nothing that it is called the “cast iron plant” or “the shoemaker’s palm.” It tolerates poor maintenance, watering interruptions, dust and polluted air. Waterlogged soil can kill it, and direct sunlight can burn it. Transplant – every 5 years.
Samşit
Coolness and drafts do not harm this plant. But he hates waterlogged soil. In the summer, take the plant out to the balcony for a change – boxwood loves bright light.
sansevieriya
If other plants fail, grow sansevieria. This plant is practically indestructible – it tolerates shade and sun, dry air and coolness. Transplant sansevieria only when the pot will split by itself from the excess of roots. In the bright sun, it can even bloom.
Hoya (wax ivy)
An easy-to-grow blooming vine that fills the evening air with a sweet scent. The main rules for handling this flower: do not touch it after the buds have appeared, do not remove faded bunches (flowers will reappear on them after a while) and do not transplant unnecessarily.
Chlorophytum
An extremely undemanding plant. It is not for nothing that you can find it in clinics, kindergartens and other government institutions and offices. It can grow in the sun and in the shade, cool and warm. It saturates the room with oxygen and purifies the air more efficiently than other indoor flowers, so the place for chlorophytum is in the kitchen. And if you want to multiply your home garden – tear off the young and place in a pot of earth. Here’s a new flower for you!
Cacti
These desert plants will theoretically withstand everything – bare sand, a complete lack of watering in winter and a lack of light. Only with this approach, do not expect any flowers or significant growth from them.
Fat woman, aloe, Kalanchoe (and other succulents)
In winter, they can withstand temperatures up to +6 ° C and watering once a month. They do not need bright light, and frequent airing of the room and fresh air are only “on hand” for them.
Spurge brilliant (spurge Mil)
The most unpretentious of all milkweed. Place it on a sunny window and it will tolerate occasional watering, dry air, and coolness in winter. If in cold seasons the euphorbia throws off its leaves – do not rush to throw it away, in a month they will grow again.
Palm trees
All palm trees grown in pots (coconut, date, hovea, etc.) are, in principle, unpretentious. But they don’t like direct sunlight and stagnant water. Transplant palms only if absolutely necessary. The only whim is the need to spray the leaves when the air is too dry (for example, in winter, during the heating season).
Radermahera
Radermacher strongly resembles a tomato bush. Dry air, partial shade for its growth is not a hindrance. Does not tolerate strong waterlogging of the soil.
Roicissus (Birch)
If you are not confused by the popularity of this plant, then it is difficult to find a more unpretentious liana than “birch” (or indoor grapes). It becomes covered with dense greenery both in the sun and in the shade, tolerates dry air and a drop in temperature to + 8 ° C.
Dracaena
Among the dracaena there are very undemanding species – these are dracaena bordered, dragon tree and cordilina. They tolerate dry indoor air well, are shade-tolerant and are not afraid of drafts. Although they feel best in diffused sunlight, variegated varieties can fade in deep shade.
Yucca
Is growing very slowly, so interruptions in watering will not affect its appearance. Coolness in winter, as well as fresh air and sunshine in summer are the only conditions for its normal growth. It is not necessary to spray, and it is better to underfill the water than to pour it over.
“Living stones”
These unusual houseplants, imitating pebbles, are from birth accustomed to Spartan conditions. They grow on stones, in winter they do not need watering at all – and for all this they will fill your pot in bulk and give flowers in spring. Different in shape and color – “living stones” – a wonderful collectible.
