Be always healthy, beautiful and happy! See you in the next articles!
Any interior is especially good when it is enlivened by decorative indoor plants. Beautiful and well-groomed messengers of nature not only decorate the home - they live, the process of photosynthesis takes place, which means that plants constantly supply us with oxygen and reduce the level of carbon dioxide in the room. They are protected from harmful effects environment, releasing phytoncides, which means that at the same time protect us from this influence.
However, it is not enough to go to the store and buy more indoor flowers there - good and different. You need to clearly understand whether you can master the care of rare and capricious ornamental plants. It is necessary to correctly calculate the strength of the spiritual impulse that prompted you to purchase home flora, and think about how long it will last. If the answer is yes, go ahead and experiment, but if you feel that a long fuss with each flower is not your calling, then it is better to purchase a few unpretentious plants that will not cause you much trouble when caring for them. Unpretentious and persistent, they can forgive you missed 4-5 days without watering, they will not react nervously to dry air from a battery or a draft from a window, they will endure a year or two without transplanting and top dressing.
Photo of unpretentious home flowers in pots
The range of such plants is quite extensive, but we will consider the most common and common types of pot crops.
Aloe is a succulent of the numerous Xanthorrhoeaceae family of African origin. Previously, this plant adorned almost every window sill of a city apartment or a village house. Bred him for medicinal properties: diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, lungs, eyes, burns and trophic ulcers - everything was treatable with juice and infusions of a modest thorn.
Sansevieria, or sansevier, she is also "mother-in-law's tongue" and "pike tail." The original evergreen plant of the asparagus family. A more unpretentious look is hard to imagine. It will suit both the shaded corner of the room and the window sill flooded with sun, the decorative effect of the flower does not suffer from this at all. This is the case when a transplant can be done every few years and rarely remember about feeding. The plant is also tolerant to increased air dryness and drafts.
Crassula is no less popular among the "lazy" flower growers, she is also a fat woman, "the tree of happiness" and " Money Tree". Rare watering only benefits this succulent. It tolerates dry air and low temperatures equally well. Crassula is also undemanding to the cardinal points, does not lose its decorative effect in low light. There are only two main "not" in the content of this flower:
- do not fill in the cold season;
- do not plant in heavy soils, it is better to add more sand or perlite to the soil mixture.
Crassula "Buddha Temple"
The next "resistant tin soldier" of room flora - chlorophytum, looks rather fragile and delicate. The openwork cascade of graceful white-green leaves does not at all seem so unpretentious and undemanding. Nevertheless, the thickened underground part of the flower provides the plant during periods of lack of host attention with both water and nutrients necessary for growth. Heat and cold, drought and "flood", shading or direct sun - he does not care. It is believed that chlorophytum is the most effective of plants that utilize harmful substances contained in indoor air.
Aspidistra, or "friendly family", also does not require increased attention. For the ability to withstand adverse conditions of detention, the British nicknamed the plant "cast iron". Densely growing decorative leaves on long petioles are ideal for decorating rooms with low light or artificial light. Vigorous growth is not suppressed by drought, moisture, or cold air currents. The signal for a flower transplant is the filling of the entire volume of the pot with rhizomes.
Zamioculkas, despite its exotic name and no less exotic look, also stoically endures all microclimatic adversities, like its counterparts listed above. He does not suffer from direct sunlight and will endure the lack of regular transplants and top dressing. Even an overdried clod of earth will only make him shed dense beautiful foliage and fall into temporary suspended animation. The first watering will quickly correct the situation, and after a few days, a typical aroid zamiokulkas will delight you with fresh green shoots.
An ideal option for a lot of traveling or simply forgetful flower growers would be a “bottle palm”, which bears the scientific name nolina (bokarneya). A desert dweller with a bottle-shaped, water-reserving trunk requires rare but plentiful watering. Together with a loose earth mixture, such a diet will suit your plant ascetic. The succulent of the agave family in indoor floriculture is represented by two types: bent bokarney and compressed bokarney.
Another medicinal houseplant is Kalanchoe. True, this does not apply to all its varieties. In addition, recently flowering hybrids and decorative varieties of this room culture have become more and more valued. A shade-tolerant and non-capricious succulent tolerates temperature changes well, does not need frequent watering and transplants.

Photo of blooming bulbous house flowers
Interestingly, many bulbous plants feel equally good in both open field, as well as in room conditions. The only difference is the need to extract the bulbs for a period winter storage in plants grown in the garden.
Amaryllis is beautiful - a typical representative of bulbous decorative flowers. A beautiful inflorescence of tubular white, pink or red flowers appears even before the growth of the belt-like leaves of the plant. Amaryllis usually blooms closer to autumn. A large, half-rising bulb above the soil level after flowering goes into a dormant state.
Various varieties of amaryllis.
Cirtanthus, or valotta, is no less beautiful than amaryllis. A representative of the same family of amaryllis, cirtanthus, by mid-summer, throws out delicate pink, white, crimson or red flowers on a long peduncle. But unlike amaryllis, the decorativeness of the plant is much higher due to the rosette of dark green linear leaves.
Hemanthus, popularly called "deer tongue" and "bloody flower", is a typical representative of the Amaryllis family. Numerous varieties of hemanthus are distributed, according to the encyclopedia, in the tropical zone of the African continent, South Africa and on the island of Socotra. This bulbous plant with a small number of leaves (from 2 to 6) and peculiar, white, red and orange flowers collected in umbrellas. Despite big variety and the abundance of species of this genus, in room culture there are only two of its species and various variants of hybrids.
Blooming hemanthus white.
"Bloody flower" gemanthus.
The original hymenocallis flowers are a bewitching sight: the central snow-white base scatters to the sides with six-pointed stars. The rays can be even or terry, the beauty of the flower does not change from this. The aroma from 8-12-flowered gradually opening hymenocallis umbels is truly fabulous. At the end of the growing season, the bulbs of the plant go into a dormant state and are stored either in pots (practically without watering), or they are dug out of the ground and stored in a dried state until spring in a cool, dark room.
No less decorative is the long-blooming hippeastrum, especially its numerous hybrids and varieties. The massive hollow hippeastrum peduncle bears from 5 to 7 large flowers of various colors. The onset of the dormant period occurs at the beginning of autumn. Proper care and storage allow you to grow a flower from one bulb up to 10 years or more.
The usual form of a hippeastrum flower.

From spring to the end of summer, the most elegant "upstart" zephyranthes will delight with lush flowering. Large single funnel-shaped flowers on long peduncles replace each other every two to three days. During active growth and flowering, the plant will need good lighting and regular watering. The bulb of the "upstart" is completely underground, in a resting state it is protected by hard, tight-fitting scales.
A variety of colors of flowers of a modest "upstart".
A lush rosette of dark green clivia leaves effectively complements the beauty of lush yellow or orange inflorescences, consisting of 10-20 flowers. Light-loving clivia does not tolerate direct sunlight and does not like high temperatures. For normal health and spectacular flowering, 22-25 degrees in summer and 14 degrees of heat during the dormant period are enough for her.

A rich assortment of unpretentious indoor plants allows you to choose the types of flowers for every taste. Catalogs offer a choice of flowering, decorative leafy, and ampel specimens.
Ampelous (climbing) are all plants that lead a "creeping" or "falling" lifestyle, and growing, as a rule, in limbo. They help to perfectly decorate problematic or empty interior areas.
At the same time, most of them are not at all capricious and require only one thing - fairly frequent watering.
A typical representative of such plants is the widespread tradescantia. She is very beautiful and at the same time extremely stress-resistant. Careful care can bring this patient plant to bloom. Small, but very pretty flowers will only add to her decorative effect. For the formation of intensely colored variegated foliage, tradescantia needs good uniform lighting and regular watering.
Modest, but tasteful, tradescantia.
The unpretentious scindapsus is able to survive in the darkest corner at almost any positive temperature. The only pity is that its beautiful rich green or variegated leaves will lose a significant part of their attractiveness. It will still be optimal for the plant diffuse lighting or artificial illumination. Under favorable conditions, the growth of scindapsus shoots can exceed a meter length. The flower is easily rooted by cuttings, deftly climbs vertical supports and surfaces and feels good even in the kitchen with its constant changes in temperature and humidity.
Almost all of the above can be repeated for common ivy. How is Archimedes? "Give me a foothold..." Only ivy is not so radical, it simply uses any support to conquer living space. Shade tolerance is distinguished by varieties with plain leaves. Variegated counterparts are more demanding on the illumination of the room. In addition, any of the many ivies will appreciate the periodic spraying of foliage.
Cissus, also known as indoor grapes, a representative of the grape family, is represented in room culture by two main types:
- cissus arctic;
- cissus rhomboid.
Other species are more demanding on the conditions of detention.
Sufficiently shade-tolerant and relatively drought-resistant cissus, like ordinary grapes, is held by supports with the help of thin and strong antennae. Favorable keeping conditions and periodic spraying of the leaves will contribute to the rapid growth of shoots with fresh bright green leaves.
Hoya, wax or wax ivy, belongs to the category of flowering indoor vines. Gathered in umbrellas, white, pink or cream fragrant flowers-stars wax look like the most skillful creations of human hands. At the same time, it is categorically not recommended to touch them with your hands before flowering and during flowering, as well as moving them from place to place. Capricious after any manipulation will simply stop blooming. Hoya grows well in bright rooms with abundant summer and moderate winter watering.
Creeping ficus, a representative of the mulberry family, comes from the subtropics of Japan and China. Equally good for ampelous and vertical gardening. Unpretentious, in general, the plant may suffer from increased dryness of the air. Periodic spraying during the hot period will benefit him, and the plant will delight you with the rapid growth of bright green heart-shaped leaves.
Another native of China is jasmine. beautiful plant with openwork foliage needs a system of supports and garters. From mid-winter to mid-spring, jasmine blooms with small tubular fragrant flowers. Single or collected in small clusters, delicate flowers fill the room with a fabulous aroma. In room culture, two types are common: large-flowered jasmine, used to obtain essential oil and various flavors, and jasmine many-flowered.
The bell is equal-leaved (campanula), popularly called "the bride and groom", a beautifully flowering ampelous plant with hanging stems, completely covered with bell flowers. From the beginning of summer to mid-autumn, the snow-white flowers of the “bride” and the pale blue bells of the “groom” will delight the eye, provided there is good lighting and abundant watering.
The room liana of passionflower, growing to gigantic sizes, has many different names. For a flower of extraordinary beauty, she is called a "cavalier star" and a passion flower, according to the name of the species and the name of the fruit - passion fruit and granadilla.
To prevent uncontrolled growth of passionflower, it is recommended to prune heavily annually in the spring. Only blue passionflower is considered a typical indoor view. A fast-growing and unpretentious liana can be grown even in open ground. The only requirement during the flowering period is good illumination and a sufficient amount of moisture in the soil.
