The fruits are very bright, and the whole tree, including leaves and flowers, is extremely fragrant. The fruits appear 3–5 years after planting. The good thing about indoor lemon is that it does not have a dormant period, and you can see both flowers and fruits on the tree at the same time. Lemon loves light and warmth - he is also a southern “guest”. But the heat is not aggressive, therefore. In winter, lemon can be additionally illuminated with special phytolamps. You will get a fruit-bearing tree faster if you propagate lemons from cuttings.

Pineapple is very easy to grow. To do this, you need to cut off the top with leaves from the pineapple fruit and root it in a mixture of peat and sand under a plastic bag. Then the rooted plant needs to be transplanted into soil consisting of leaf humus, turf soil and sand. A pineapple needs a big pot - only then can it bear fruit. The optimal temperature for it is 25 degrees, and it needs to be sprayed periodically.

House orange is also a dwarf variety, and according to its growing conditions it is close to lemon. There are only some differences - he doesn’t really like straight lines. Sun rays, so it’s better not to place it directly in front of a sunny window. He also loves moisture very much - he needs to be sprayed warm time year, but in winter - just water. In order for an orange to have a beautiful shape, it needs to be pruned; it has a tendency to grow disproportionately. With fruits it is somewhat more complicated than with lemons - in order to get fruits, an orange tree needs to be grafted from another that is already bearing fruit.

Indoor pomegranate is very decorative. Accordingly, its fruits are also dwarf, and to obtain them, it is better to pollinate the flowers by hand with a brush. The tree grows up to 1 m tall. In terms of flowering, it is not inferior to the most beautiful indoor flowers. Light and warmth (23 - 25 degrees) are his favorite conditions; he does not need special humidity. It is best to propagate it by cuttings, but it can also be grown from seeds. It’s just that in this case you will have to wait longer for fruiting.

In addition, fig seedlings can be found on sale. The conditions for caring for figs are the same as for citrus fruits, but there is one serious difference: this is a deciduous tree. It sheds its leaves around October and then needs a rest period of two months. This is not difficult: you need to put it in the coolest place in the apartment, and cover it with dark fabric (to do this, you need to build a kind of frame around the plant, on which the fabric will be stretched). If your dacha has a basement, you can transport the plant there. Watering is rare during this period. Then new buds will begin to appear on the tree, and it will be placed on the windowsill again.

Plants that are more different in appearance are possible. In a selected corner of the room, you can put individual colored ceramic tiles and place pots on them, or between the pots you can put beautiful light stones - large pebbles, or large shells. You definitely need to take care of beautiful containers for fruit plants - it is best to choose ceramic containers for them. Mediterranean-style pots are especially suitable for citrus fruits.
In your room, on the window, you can arrange a miniature fruit garden. Figs, coffee trees, feijoas, and well-known citrus fruits (lemon, orange, tangerine) can grow and bear fruit in an ordinary living room. Of course, to get fruit, you need to put in a lot of effort.
More often than not, amateur gardeners grow lemons. They produce fragrant white flowers and then golden, fragrant fruits. Citrus fruits sometimes grow unexpectedly in rooms - when in a pot of geranium or fuchsia 
they planted a seed and forgot about it, and then, after a long time, a strong sprout appears. If you plant it and carefully care for it (the most important thing is to provide the low temperature required for the plant at 8-12 degrees in winter), then in a few years a beautiful, slender tree with dark green shiny leaves will form, and at 10-12 m it can bear its first fruits .
And sometimes citrus fruits are propagated by cuttings, this significantly speeds up fruiting. But, it is better to plant a cutting or an eye from an adult specimen that already bears fruit before a 3-4 year old seedling that has grown from grain. The fruits may already appear next year.
In the bright warm room With windows facing south or southeast, a coffee tree grows well, you just need to take care of sufficient air humidity. 
More demanding care requires pomegranate, a deciduous shrub native to Northwestern India. Since the seeds germinate poorly, even in greenhouses it is mainly propagated by cuttings taken from young annual shoots. Cuttings take root in a greenhouse at 20-25°. Pomegranate loves light, it needs nutritious clay-humus soil and regular but moderate watering. Young bushes are replanted annually, and old ones are replaced in the spring. upper layer land. In winter, you need to keep them in a cool room, and sometimes water them a little so that the soil does not dry out. Flowers and fruits develop on strong annual shoots in the 3rd year.
Figs, a common fruit plant, can also grow well on a window. Black Sea coast, only the time before the start of fruiting doubles. Figs grow quickly, so you need to replant them annually in fresh nutritious soil, and partially cut off the crown in the fall. Cut out excess “fatty” shoots and ends of branches. Figs are also light-loving, so in summer it is recommended to take them out onto the balcony or into the garden, slightly shading them. In winter, figs shed their leaves and require lower air temperatures (6-12 °).
C is relatively rare in rooms tomato tree, or Cephomandra, is native to Brazil. It's fast 
growing evergreen tree with large heart-shaped leaves, very decorative and original. The orange-red fruits resemble tomatoes in taste and appearance. Cuttings of ground tomatoes can be grafted onto Cephomandra; they will grow as perennials.
Cephomandra can be grown in a bright place at a temperature of 15-17 °, in nutritious soil. In summer you need to water abundantly, and in winter - moderately. In spring, the tops of the shoots are pruned. At good care plants begin to bloom and bear fruit in 3-4 years.
Many other plants with colorful fruits can be grown on windows, for example, various peppers, “egg trees” (one of the eggplant varieties) and others.
If you place next to such a window treadmill, then at any time of the year you will feel like in summer garden. It is better to turn to professionals about how to choose a treadmill.

Every passionate florist dreams of adding to his collection, especially when... we're talking about about exotic indoor plants. Unusual specimens are looked for in nurseries and greenhouses, brought from hot countries, exchanged and sold on forums. Every collector of domestic flora must have his own wish list of rare plants.
What indoor plants most often become objects of desire for gardeners? Let's find out. And let's start in an unusual way - with the most common among unusual, forgive the tautology, plants.
At the end of the list are exotic fruits, the popularity and distribution of which as indoor crops is growing year by year. This is not surprising: who would refuse delicious home-grown fruits? In addition, many of these plants look great - they delight owners with thick green foliage and bright large flowers.
- a tree-like shrub that grows in southern countries with a dry climate, it has taken root on our windowsills. Not so long ago, breeders obtained varieties that are distinguished by their miniature size and, at the same time, are quite capable of bearing fruit. Although the main advantage indoor pomegranate- magnificent flowers, with a little effort the gardener will be able to enjoy fruits that are not inferior in taste to store-bought ones.
Homemade banana. Yes, yes, you can grow a banana indoors. What’s surprising here is that, in fact, a banana is a grass, only very tall. There are even several types indoor banana– decorative and edible. Decorative ones are distinguished by large beautiful leaves, and edible ones, as the name implies, are tasty fruits, indistinguishable from store-bought ones.
Pomegranate, banana A pineapple, contained in the apartment, is no worse than purchased. A little “witchcraft” (for flowering and fruiting of an indoor pineapple, it is recommended to fumigate it with smoke) and exotic fruit will ripen right in your living room. A planting material can be taken by cutting a leaf rosette from the eaten fruit.
Date fruit- a plant that is not very suitable for the home. Too tall (an adult palm tree reaches two meters) and capricious (prefers year-round coolness). But do difficulties stop passionate gardeners? Of course, dates are found much less often in our homes than, for example, lemon, but examples successful cultivation This fruit exotic still exists.
Pineapple, date Olive. Don't be surprised, indoor olive Tree also exists. Moreover, several varieties of evergreen trees are adapted for indoor conditions. And if you consider that the olive is not only fruit-bearing, but also very beautiful plant, we can assume that over time it will become even more popular.
Homemade feijoa not pleased with the variety - only one species is acclimatized to indoor conditions. Yes, and he demands increased attention: high humidity, a large number of Sveta. In addition, do not forget that for successful pollination you need two plants or special, self-pollinating varieties. But if you have already managed to get the fruits of indoor feijoa, you can consider that the exam in floriculture skills has been passed.
Olive, feijoa Needless to say, Russians are trying to grow all sorts of exotic fruits. Rambutan, mango, medlar, avocado - you can’t list everything. These experiments are not always successful: some specimens simply do not grow, others refuse to bloom and bear fruit. However, our people do not give up and manage to grow entire plantations on their windowsills.
Next up are unusual and rare house plants that do not serve any practical function, but simply delight the owner’s eye. Conventionally, they can be divided into decorative deciduous and flowering. Let's start with decorative deciduous ones.
Beaucarneya (nolina), or, as it is popularly called, the bottle tree, is beautiful not only for its long curled leaves, reminiscent of the curls of an African beauty. The originality of the plant is also given by the thickening trunk towards the bottom, similar to a drinking vessel. This form was formed because in the lower part of the trunk nolina stores moisture, which is so rare in its homeland.
A whimsical beauty from tropical forests, it stands out for its luxurious leaves, oval or elongated in shape. And the main decoration of the leaves is unusual multi-color patterns: silvery paired stripes on a dark green background in Calathea ornata, light green spots and green veins in Calathea remarkable, velvety surface and dark red color of the leaf plate in Calathea Varshevich.
Bocarneya, calathea Mimosa bashful unusual, at first glance it is no different - bipinnate leaves are also found in other plants. But as soon as you touch the leaf, it “shyly” curls up. Scientists still don’t know what causes this phenomenon, but flower growers are happy to grow interesting flower Houses.
If a mimosa curls its leaves when touched, then oxalis, or triangular sorrel, folds its leaves at night. In the morning, at sunrise, they again unfold widely, greeting the first rays of the sun. For such an unusual ability, the plant was popularly nicknamed “ Good morning" The color of the leaves is also outstanding - rich eggplant or bright green with a purple center.
Mimosa pudica, oxalis Caladium, on the contrary, is not ashamed of anyone, but proudly unfurls its luxurious leaves. The heart-shaped leaf blade is not too rare, but its patterns and colors are amazing: white, red, pink, purple, green, silver. Of course, most of them are the merit of botanical breeders who are developing new varieties of caladium. However, because of this, the luxurious tropical plant does not cease to be less wonderful.
The variety of shades is not amazing; its leaves are colored standard green. But their shape, combined with a long stem, reminiscent of a mini-palm, attracts many lovers of house plants. And if you consider that several such stems grow from the root at once, it turns out that cyperus looks like a whole bouquet of palm trees.
Caladium, cyperus Beautifully flowering house plants delight gardeners with magnificent flowers that bloom at any time of the year. Even if outside the window Cold winter or chilly autumn, the bright colors of the petals will remind you of the sun and summer.
Sprekelia – bulbous plant, blooming in spring. Sprekelia leaves are unremarkable, but the bright red flowers cannot be confused with any others. Six elongated petals, three below and three above, resemble an unusual orchid.
Flowers Lachenalia can not be called ordinary. Similar to long multi-colored tubes, they are collected in thick brushes on the peduncle. Red, yellow, orange petals glow against the backdrop of bright green foliage. Lachenalia is a relative of the hyacinth, blooming, depending on the species, in autumn, winter or early spring.
Sprequelia, lachenalia Large flowers surprise even seasoned gardeners. Fleshy, pubescent flowers of golden, pink, yellow, violet shade, with or without a pattern, look like an exotic sea creature. True, not everyone wants to grow this miracle of nature at home - the aroma of slipway is reminiscent of the smell of rotten meat.
Tuberose, on the contrary, it smells so good that it is used to create perfume compositions. Even in the last century, the plant was so popular that it could not be called unusual. But time passed and tuberoses became very rare. It’s a pity, because, in addition to the smell, the snow-white flowers are amazingly beautiful.
Stapelia, tuberose Tillandsia blue It amazes not so much with the unusualness of the flowers, but with the original shape of the bract. However, the bracts of the plant are often confused with the flowers themselves. The flat, wide, herringbone-shaped bract is colored delicately. lavender color, and the petals of blue tillandsia, as the name implies, have a bluish tint.
Streptocarpus– not so much exotic as very beautiful flower. Extraordinary shades (white, blue, light blue, pink, yellow) and intricate patterns on the petals make streptocarpus flowers look like bright tropical butterflies. Of course, the overwhelming majority of all this splendor is the result of the work of breeders. But this in no way detracts from the beauty of the magnificent flower.
Blue Tillandsia, Streptocarpus Succulent plants deserve a separate section. Due to harsh living conditions (arid climate), they have adapted to accumulate water in various parts, significantly modifying them. That is why cacti have a thick spherical trunk, and aloe has juicy, fleshy leaves. Let's take a closer look at the most unusual inhabitants of the desert.
Let's start, perhaps, with Lithops. These unique plants resemble multi-colored pebbles, for which they were popularly nicknamed “living stones.” In fused thick sheets, lithops store moisture during the rainy season, gradually consuming it during the dry season. It's not just the leaves of these succulents that are unusual. The flowers look no less exotic: large, bright with big amount long narrow petals.
Ariocarpus, or rather one of its species (Ariocarpus fissured) is a cactus devoid of thorns. And this is his first unusual feature. The second is very slow growth. It takes a cactus about fifty years to reach a decimeter in diameter. Well, the third is a thick fleshy root, tightly intertwined. All this allowed the exotic succulent to grow in places where almost no other representatives of the flora are found - in the crevices of rocky rocks and cliffs.
Lithops, Ariocarpus fissured Godson Rowley looks like a curtain of round green beads strung on a thin stem. Perhaps it is the ragwort that deserves to lead the hit parade of the most unusual house plants. The homeland of the exotic succulent is the Namibian desert. To survive in such extreme conditions, the leaves took on such a strange shape. The balls contain a supply of water that helps the plant during drought.
Astrophytum jellyfish head was opened quite recently - in 2002. Because of its bizarre appearance, this cactus was initially classified as a separate genus, and only after some time did scientists classify it as an astrophytum. Many thick long stems emanating from one root really resemble the snakes on the head of the monstrous Gorgon Medusa.
Rowley's ragwort, Astrophytum jellyfish head Separately, we can highlight Brazilian forest cacti that live on trees. Their unpretentiousness and spectacular appearance conquered the hearts of many flower growers around the world.
For example, an epiphytic cactus rhipsalis Even a novice gardener can grow it, and some of the types of succulents can be considered the most exotic house plants. The stems of rhipsalis Lindbergh, knobby, fluffy, Barchel look like thin sticks, branching into different sides and decorated with showy flowers. The shoots of Roussel's rhipsalis resemble the stems of the well-known Decembrist, but with one difference - after flowering, bright pink berries appear on their side edges, giving the plant an unusual, bizarre appearance.
Hathiora, another representative of forest cacti, is similar to seaweed that appeared on land by chance. Thin, rod-shaped shoots form a thick hat, decorated, depending on the type of succulent, with flowers of the most different shades: yellow, pink, white, red.
Rhipsalis, hatiora Carnivorous plants form a separate group of domestic exotics. Not every lover of indoor flowers will decide to have at least one of them. Firstly, it is quite difficult to maintain such representatives of the flora: as a rule, very high air humidity is required. And secondly, many carnivorous plants have unpleasant smell, attracting prey insects. And finally, the aesthetic component - not everyone will like watching a predator destroy its prey.
Sundews are insectivorous perennial herbs, many species of which are adapted for growing in room conditions. Sundew leaves have fine hairs, at the end of which a drop of sweet sticky liquid appears. It is this liquid that attracts the unsuspecting insect. But as soon as the victim decides to feast on the tasty syrup, the hairs will entangle it, and the leaf will close, leaving the stupid bug no chance to get out. Because of the drops, sundew is poetically called “Solar Dew”, “Tsar’s Eyes” or “God’s Dew”.
Dionea, better known as the Venus flytrap, also belongs to the predatory sundew family. To catch insects, the plant uses trap leaves, which are open in the normal state and quickly slam shut as soon as the victim sits down to rest. The leaves of the Venus flytrap are very unusual - two-colored (red on one side and green on the other), with thorns along the edges. The bright color attracts unwary insects, and the thorns prevent them from getting out after the leaf closes. In order to prevent the death of pollinating insects that are beneficial to the plant, the Dionaea flower is located on a very long stem, distant from the leaves.
Sundew, dionaea Nepenthes(or pitcher plant) lures the victim not with the help of leaves, but with the help of long tubular-shaped flowers, similar to clay vessels. The insect flies inside the flower in the hope of finding sweet nectar at the bottom of the jug, but it can no longer get out and drowns in the liquid accumulated at the bottom. Growing Nepenthes in an apartment is very difficult - carnivorous plant does not tolerate dry warm air, therefore for home grown Only one species found in stores is adapted, namely winged nepenthes.
Main difference sarracenia- a long twisted leaf in the form of a funnel, at the bottom of which there is a liquid for digesting insects, and on the inner walls there are hairs that prevent the victim from getting out. In addition to the shape, the color of the trap leaf is also unusual - green, red, purple with a pattern of translucent veins. Sarracenia was very popular in Russia before the revolution - rich gentlemen gladly grew the overseas miracle in their homes. Unfortunately, many collections were subsequently destroyed and only Lately this exotic predatory flower again began to spread as an indoor culture.

Try growing one of these exotic plants from seeds yourself at home. Moreover, it is not as difficult as it seems at first glance.
Buying in a store delicious vegetables and fruits (including exotic ones), we receive planting material for free. So why not use it rationally? After all, growing a fruiting tree or shrub from seeds is quite simple.
At correct landing and care, citrus plants develop quite quickly, but fruiting does not occur soon. Therefore, to enjoy homemade lemon or orange, you will have to be patient: the first fruits will appear no earlier than in 5-7 years.
To grow citrus fruits from seeds, wash the seeds warm water, dry for 1-2 hours and sow in a pot with soil designed for growing a specific type of citrus plant.
The pot in which you place the seed must be at least 2 liters, since it is not recommended to replant the plant for the first few years. Don't forget to add drainage to the bottom.
Immediately after sowing, you need to make a greenhouse from a thin plastic bag. This will help maintain the required level of humidity. When the soil dries out, it is necessary to moisten it promptly.
U various types In citrus fruits, seed germination time varies: from 3 to 8 weeks. Tangerines grow slower than others.
Citrus fruits grown from seeds at home reach a height of no more than 90 cm.
This unpretentious plant, so even a beginner can easily grow it. Peel the brown skin off a ripe avocado pit, plant it with the blunt end down so that the pointed end protrudes from the ground, and water regularly.
You can plant it in another way: lower the seed, with its blunt end down, into a container of water so that it is half immersed in the liquid. Secure the pit with a thread or toothpick, place the container on the windowsill and add water as needed.
The seed should hatch after 3-12 weeks. Germination time depends on many factors: proper watering, seed maturity, etc.
When the seed cracks and a sprout appears from the crack, plant it in a small pot with any fertile soil, deepening halfway. Water the plant in a timely manner - and after 3 months it will grow up to half a meter in height.
Growing feijoa from seeds at home is also not difficult. Separate the seeds of a ripe fruit from the pulp, wash in a weak solution of potassium permanganate, dry and sow in a medium-sized pot with a mixture of leaf soil, peat and river sand in a ratio of 2:2:1 to a depth of no more than 0.5 cm. It is best to do this in February.
Then moisten the soil with a spray bottle and place the pot on a well-lit windowsill. Water the crops in a timely manner - and in a month the seeds will germinate. The first fruits will appear after 5-6 years.
This tropical vine likes to grow in a warm and ventilated place, but not in a draft, with good lighting and high humidity air.
If you decide to grow passion fruit from a seed, find a spacious place for it in advance: the vine grows greatly, so a narrow window sill will not be suitable for this exotic plant. In addition, you will need support to support the shoots.
Passion fruit seeds are fairly easy to plant. Most the right time for this purpose – mid-spring.
Remove the seeds from ripe fruits, place them on a clean towel and rub gently. When the juice sacs open, rinse the seeds with water and dry in a dark place.
Sow the seeds in a container with a mixture of compost, topsoil and river sand in equal proportions. It is better to sow in small furrows located at a distance of 5 cm from each other.
There is no need to bury the seeds, just sprinkle them with a thin layer of soil and immediately moisten them with a spray bottle. At proper care Passion fruit will bloom 2-4 years after sowing.
Pomegranate grown from seed blooms already in 3-4 years, but its fruits take a very long time to ripen at home. Therefore, these plants are grown more out of interest than for the purpose of enjoying delicious pomegranates (as the fruits of this crop are called in botany).
The most suitable time for sowing pomegranate is winter. Remove the seeds from a fully ripened bright red fruit and, without waiting for them to dry, plant them in fertile soil to a depth of 1-1.5 cm.
Water the crops in a timely manner. After 1-2 months, shoots will appear. After they get stronger, transplant them into separate pots.
Please note that the pomegranate must remain dormant all winter, so every year late autumn move it to a cool place.
This plant is often called melon pear because its fruit looks like a pear and tastes like melon. To grow pepino at home, remove the seeds from the fruit, place them in a shallow container, and wrap them in damp toilet paper, cover with plastic wrap and place in a dark place with a temperature of about 25°C.
Once every 2-3 days, moisten the seeds with a spray bottle. When they hatch, move the container to a well-lit place. When the cotyledons appear, pick up the seedlings and plant them in a pot with fertile soil. Please note that pepino is very demanding of light.
A date palm grown from a seed at home develops quite quickly and after 5-7 years can turn into a full-fledged tree. But, unfortunately, you should not expect fruit from such a plant: dates do not bear fruit at home.
Soak freshly extracted seeds in a glass of water. room temperature for two days, after which peel them from the pulp. Plant vertically in lightly moist palm-grade soil and lightly moisten the soil periodically. After 2-3 weeks, shoots should appear.
Do not forget that date palm It does not tolerate excess moisture, but it does not like completely dry soil either. The date does not like transplants and dies quickly if the roots are damaged, so it is better to immediately sow the seeds in a container of sufficient volume.
To grow kiwi from seeds at home, you need to select a ripe fruit with an intact peel, remove the seeds from it and peel the pulp. At the same time, try not to damage the integrity of the small seeds.
Rinse the seeds thoroughly with water several times, dry on a napkin, and then place in a glass of water at room temperature. Place it in a warm place (for example, on a windowsill located above the radiator).
After 7-10 days, when the seeds open, spread them on damp gauze, place them on a saucer and cover with plastic. When the seeds hatch (usually after 2-3 days), sow them in separate containers with a pre-moistened mixture of black soil, peat and sand.
Kiwi should grow in constantly moist soil, but it is important to avoid stagnation of water. Therefore, drainage (expanded clay) should be placed at the bottom of the container and the seedlings should be sprayed with a spray bottle. It is better to choose a place for the plant that is warm and sunny: a window sill located on the south side is suitable.
Try growing these from seeds exotic plants. They will decorate your home and add to their unusual appearance usual flower garden. And they will also give you the joy of an experiment, the results of which may come as a real surprise to you!
