Large houseplants You can grow it yourself or purchase it from flower nurseries. When choosing such a flower, it is necessary to analyze the possibility of home conditions. A meter or larger bush is unlikely to fit on the window, so you need to decide on the placement of the container with the flower. The most optimal place considered to be a corner of the room that is somewhat illuminated daylight, and also protects the plant from drafts and mechanical damage. Sometimes, a favorable place for a big ornamental plant will be near the bed or soft corner, as well as in the interior kitchen area. It all depends on the type of plant and its living conditions. For rooms with high ceilings, large indoor plants that reach more than two meters in height and are not afraid of pruning are suitable. Some types of house flowers can adapt well to indoor conditions throughout the year, and in summer period, continue life cycle on the street terrace. In this case, you need to take into account changes in temperature, lighting and the presence of insects.

The plant can bloom and also bear fruit, like a lemon or tangerine. It can be capricious or unpretentious in care, with an individual growth rate, that is, reaching the required height in a short period or over many years.
Growing the desired plant at home requires a considerable investment of time and effort. Some flowers need to be pollinated artificially, which not all lovers can do. Also, one cannot ignore the toxicity of some plants, as they can cause allergic reaction or have a negative impact on the health of people living in the home.
Many specialist flower growers grow plants in the bonsai style, that is, a smaller copy of a tree that in ordinary natural conditions, reaches incredible huge size. Any plant can be grown in this style, it just depends on time and hard work. Many plant growers note that conifers and deciduous plants very popular for growing bonsai style at home. They grow slowly, but their decorative properties and pleasant aroma bring pleasure. For example, pine or maple, which feel good at home, as well as outdoors, during the warm season.
IN room conditions, in bonsai style, grow successfully:
Bonsai can also be grown from tropical and subtropical indoor plants. It is easier to care for them, that is, to form or create conditions for winter dormancy. To do this, choose a plant with small trunks, flowers and leaves. In addition to interior decoration, fresh, oxygen-filled air, which is provided by indoor plants, is important for the home environment. One of the properties of many flowers is medicinal, that is, antibacterial, in which the surrounding climate is disinfected. This effect can be achieved by planting plants:

In this case, you can use organic supplements, which are sold ready-made in flower shops. Some ways to feed favorite plant prepared independently at home. For this they use, onion skins, black coffee and tea leaves, egg shells, meat slops, fruit zest, sugar, yeast, etc.
To maintain the looseness of the soil in the container, used tea leaves of black tea or coffee are poured onto it.
To saturate the soil with vitamins, which plants will happily absorb, use peels from bananas, oranges and apples. In this case, the peels are crushed and infused in purified water, which is used to water indoor plants.
To increase energy and also as a quality building material biological cells in a plant, use water with the addition of regular sugar. This fertilizer can be used occasionally to avoid attracting pests from the external environment.
If you dilute one tablespoon of ash in a liter of water, you can disinfect the soil of indoor plants, as well as feed them with micro and macroelements: zinc, magnesium, potassium, iron and phosphorus.
Egg shells will have a good drainage effect and supply calcium.
Cocktails made from onions, vegetables and yeast, which are used only in fresh prepared form, have a beneficial effect on plant growth.
The purpose of mandatory feeding is to enhance plant growth, maintain the size, shape and color of the bark, stems, leaves, peduncles, as well as prevent disease conditions. With weak immunity, the plant slows down, loses elasticity, sheds leaves and becomes an object for pathogenic microorganisms.

Today we’ll talk about our favorite and popular indoor plants.
Indoor plants are grown to decorate the interior, refresh, purify indoor air and as an alternative to live pets, because some people care for plants like children.
Without flowers in pots, mini bushes, exotic palm trees, orchids, containers with summer flowering seedlings on balconies, would you agree that our life would be much more boring and grey?
Besides the fact that flowers at home are beautiful and cute, there is another aspect - status - expensive, original plants in big houses, apartments, cottages - they greatly refine, stylize, and increase the cost of the interior.
Among palm trees and tree-like trees, the most popular are: Yucca, Dieffenbachia, Dracaena, Monstera, Ficus.
Yucca
“Yucca (lat. Yúcca) is a genus of tree-like evergreen plants of the Agave family (Agavaceae).

“Ficus Benjamin is the symbol tree of Bangkok, the capital of Thailand.” It’s hard to imagine, but these green trees are relatives of fig trees, growing in warm countries; fig trees, or fig trees, grow berries such as figs. Figs are very sweet and healthy berries, we sell them in dried form. Sometimes decorative ficus trees also bear fruit, somewhat similar to figs.
There is even experience when ficus was grown from the seeds of figs purchased at the market, you just need to be patient and take very good care of it, although according to reviews from those who grew such a miracle, it is very unpretentious, and after sprouting it quickly gains growth. Small fig tree Quite a fashionable house plant.

It grows quite slowly, a compact tree with a dense, delicate trunk and fleshy, oval, coin-shaped leaves. The leaves contain a lot of arsenic, so it is dangerous to eat them; you need to keep the plant away from children.
With good care it can bloom, but it does not bloom very impressively.
Aloe
“Aloe (Latin Áloë) is a genus of succulent plants of the subfamily Asphodelaceae of the Xanthorrhoeaceae family, containing more than 500 species, common in Africa and the Arabian Peninsula.”

Also a very useful flower, the juice has healing properties. On each leaf, “babies” are “born” to collapse: small plants with roots, you just need to plant them in the ground and the finished plant will be ready in a couple of months. An ordinary Kalanchoe is a rather inexpressive plant; all its strength lies in its healing properties. But the blooming varieties are very beautiful, bright, and expressive.
cacti
“Cactaceae, or Cacti (lat. Cactaceae) - a family of perennial flowering plants of the order Cloves.”
Among the cacti there are very interesting and unusual representatives, they bloom very beautifully. There are versions that cacti absorb radiation, thereby protecting people from it; it is recommended to place the plant near the computer monitor and radiation sources.

In the photo, white-veined spurge
White-veined spurge is the most common spurge in Russian homes. It is poisonous; the juice must not come into contact with the skin or mucous membranes, much less fall into the hands of children.
Sansevieria (pike tail)
“Sansevieria (sansevieria, sansevieria, pike tail) is a genus of stemless evergreen perennial herbaceous plants family Asparagus. Plants of this genus are found in dry, rocky regions of tropical and subtropical Africa, Madagascar, India, Indonesia and South Florida.”

“Saintpaulia (lat. Saintpaulia) is a genus of beautifully flowering herbaceous plants of the Gesneriaceae family. One of the most common indoor plants; Also known in floriculture as Uzambara violet. IN natural conditions grows in the mountainous regions of East Africa."
This is a favorite house flower of many gardeners of all ages, a compact, cute plant with bright and beautiful flowers. Violet is quite whimsical - from my personal experience and from the experience of friends. However, as comments from lovers of these flowers on the Internet say, caring for these plants is simple, but you need to follow a number of rules:
“And I have about two hundred of them... There are no special problems. I water it at the root, feed it once a month, and illuminate it with lamps in winter.”
“I have a lot of violets, they are not whimsical, the only thing you need to water is in a tray, in the winter once a week, in the summer twice a week, and so that they stand on the sunny side, I have them on the window in the kitchen - the sun is there in the second half days - they bloom 10 months a year.”
“The 2 main conditions are not to overfill and do not place in direct sunlight. I water mine once a week.”
Violet propagates conveniently: a leaf placed in water produces roots.
Gloxinia
“Gloxinia (lat. Gloxinia) is a genus of plants of the Gesneriaceae family. Named after the German or Alsatian botanist and physician Benjamin Peter Gloksin (1765-1794)."
As we see, violet (Saintpaulia and gloxinia) are from the same genus of plants of the Gesneriaceae family. Gloxinia is very similar to violet, has a different leaf shape, larger flowers, sometimes in the shape of bells. It is propagated by tubers and cuttings, seeds.
Anthurium
“Anthurium (lat. Anthúrium) is a genus of evergreen plants of the Araceae family (Araceae).
Perhaps the most numerous genus of its family, modern sources number more than 900, others (older) about 500 species.
The Latin name of the genus is derived from the ancient Greek words meaning “flower” and “tail.”
Pictured is Anthurium

Schlumberger (or Decembrist)
“Schlumbergera (lat. Schlumbergera) is a genus of epiphytic cacti common in the tropical forests of southeastern Brazil, including Rio de Janeiro, at an altitude of 900-2800 m. Introduced to Europe by the collector Allan Cunningham around 1816.”
In the photo the Decembrist is in bloom
We call this flower the Decembrist. Despite the fact that experts do not classify it as a capricious plant, according to the experience of many of my friends, it is quite sensitive to any adverse effects. It got its name because it blooms in winter, in December.
Except for the winter time, compared to other flowers, it is gray and inconspicuous, and during flowering, the whole attitude towards it is revealed: if there was good care, the Decembrist will bloom profusely, with beautiful buds, if the care was poor, one or two pale flowers will come out.
Camellia
“Camellia (lat. Camellia) - evergreen tea family (Theaceae). Most known species- Camellia sinensis (Camellia sinensis, or Tea, or Tea bush), from the leaves of which raw materials for making tea are obtained. Many types of camellia are used in ornamental gardening."
Indoor camellia is a beautiful plant, especially in bloom. Capricious. Cannot be moved from place to place.
Geranium
Without geranium it is impossible to imagine old grandmother's house in the village; its smell, causing either headache, or a slight gloom cannot be separated from the memories of parents and grandmothers for many.
In the photo there is a geranium
Azalea
“Azalea (lat. Azalea) is the collective name of some beautiful flowering species plants from the genus Rhododendron.
In the photo is an azalea
All rhododendrons are very beautiful, azalea, of course, stands out from all the indoor green pets, miniature plant, similar to rhododendron, rose, camellia. They are very picky, capricious, and often simply dry out if given good care.
Judging by the statistics of flower purchases at auctions and queries in search engines, Russians are actively interested in houseplants.
As we see from history, many flowers came to us from subtropics, hot countries. Africa is one of the richest countries in potential house plants.
Among the house plants that are quite poisonous are: Euphorbia, Dieffenbachia, Crassula, spitting evergreen, Trichocereus cactus, Persian cyclamen, Dioscorea, autumn crocus, common oleander, common mite, clivia cinnabar, Japanese euonymus, aglaonema changeable, etc.
Poisonous plants in the photo
As for superstitions and the fact that some flower brings happiness - of course, this is all “feng shui” in the Russian way, the money tree will not help you make money, and, given the poisonous nature of the plant, although not lethal, it will more likely harm than help. But there are such things as the impact on the atmosphere in the house, for example, monstera emits carbon dioxide at night, and it is better not to place it in the bedroom (also, do not forget that it is poisonous). Citrus fruits and conifers refresh and purify the air better than other plants.
And green pets with oval and round leaves have a more positive and softening effect on the psychological state of people, relieve aggression due to the fact that smooth forms natural plants promote balance. Likewise, plants with sharp lines are more likely to provoke impulsiveness and aggression, but, of course, all this is not clear-cut.
Russians also love and have the following plants at home:
Rose (indoor varieties)
Citrus fruits
Tradescantia
Chrysanthemums
Hibiscus
Orchids
Balsam
Croton

Begonia Bauer tiger
The name “money tree” hides a tree-shaped succulent with numerous rounded leaves - Crassula, Aeonium, Aichrizon. They have other names: tree of luck, monkey tree, coin tree. Simple home care behind the money tree and its original appearance made the crassula popular among gardeners.
On the picture Crassula ovata - one of the most grown indoor flowers, as a money talisman...
An ancient Chinese legend says that there is a tree in the world with leaves - gold coins. If you shake it, the leaf-coins fall to the ground like raindrops. It is Crassula that is most similar to that same money tree. It is generally accepted that the plant brings financial success and prosperity to its owner. In addition to being decorative, it also has beneficial properties, is a filter plant.

Today, the choice of seeds is so wide that anyone can try to grow an indoor flower, even an exotic one, that will harmonize with the interior and create coziness in your home. To see how a tiny sprout develops from a small seed and becomes a full-fledged adult specimen, I advise you to read “what indoor plants are grown from seeds.”
Seeds of indoor flowers can be sown almost all year round, if the room is warm enough and there is enough lighting; if necessary, you will have to supplement it with fluorescent lamps. But the most best time for sowing seeds on the eve of the growing season - February, March-April.
The greatest danger to indoor plants comes from pests such as spider mites, aphids, scale insects, false scale insects, scale insects, scale insects, nematodes and others. Methods for controlling scale insects are approximately identical to other pests.
The best protection for indoor plants is prevention!
The houseplant, unfortunately, is affected by aphids or scale insects - very small and dangerous pest. These plaques are completely attached to the veins of the plant and begin to feed on cell sap. When severely damaged, scale insects secrete sticky substances on which fungal diseases develop very well. The flower becomes depleted very quickly, the shoots completely lose their leaves and dry out.
Caring for sansevieria involves almost complete absence of care! If I may say so... Sansevieria is one of the most persistent and hardy plants of the Agave family (Agavaceae). Another name for Sansevieria. The flower is called “mother-in-law’s tongue” for the length of the leaves and the sharp end, “pike tail” - for the transverse stripes, and is also called “snake skin”, “leapard lily”.
The photo shows Sansevieria: care and features of home maintenance: watering, soil, replanting...
This is a real gift for beginners, it is quite unpretentious and you don’t need much care for sansevieria; it can stand without watering for a very long time. By the way, it still bloomed for me several times after winter, and the intoxicating smell, which intensifies in the evenings, reminds many of the smell of vanilla.
Often the difficulties in caring for orchids are reinforced by the opinions of people on the Internet talking about their successes or failures in growing them.

An article about how to properly organize orchid care at home? You will need to propagate, plant, and transplant the orchid into bark or other substrate, depending on the species. Answers to the most FAQ. The flowers are perfect for growing orchids in pots; all you need to do is understand the specifics of caring for them.
There may be several reasons why dracaena leaves begin to dry out and fall off. Main – insufficient humidity air. IN winter time It's not easy for houseplants to survive. The days are getting shorter, the air is dry from the radiators, the tips of the leaves turn yellow and dry, the dracaena begins to shed its leaves, mainly the lower ones. This applies to many indoor species with a central leafy trunk, such as yucca, aglaonema, dieffenbachia...
Despite its unpretentiousness, the plant does not tolerate direct sun rays and bright light, which causes light yellow spots to appear and the leaves seem to fade.
