Beautiful indoor flowers (55 photos): brovallia and plants with decorative leaves in pots

Care rules

Chlorophytum is not a capricious flower at all. Even a novice amateur can handle it. However, for the favorable growth of a flower, it still does not hurt to know some of the features of the correct content of this culture.

This plant may well be in the shade, although the rays of the sun will not interfere with it during the day. Therefore, it is optimal to place it on a windowsill with enough light. However, in the summer, it is not recommended to expose the flower pot to open sunlight, as they can harm the leaves, as a result of which the leaves will dry out and the plant will begin to wilt.

Chlorophytum feels great at an optimal room temperature in the room of 15-20 degrees, but at 10 degrees it already freezes, so it is best not to allow such a temperature regime. With proper care, the plant can begin to bloom in late February - early March. The state of rest is counted from October to early spring.

Watering in the hot season is best increased to 3-4 times a week, and in the cold season reduced to 1-2 as the soil in the pot dries out.

As for the humidity in the room, in the summer it is recommended to additionally moisten the plant with a spray bottle with water, otherwise, due to the dryness in the room, the tips of the plant may begin to dry out slightly. From autumn to spring, regular watering is sufficient without additional moisture. Spraying should be carried out with water at room temperature, preferably standing.

You do not need to prune the plant, unless it is about pruning old leaves or giving the flower some special shape. In general, curly chlorophytum tolerates pruning painlessly. The plant should be fed only during the growing season, that is, starting in March. As a top dressing, it is better to use ready-made liquid fertilizers, which can be purchased at gardening stores. It is not recommended to use manure, with it you can add insects and parasites to the plant.

Large-leaved indoor plants are undemanding to care for. They prefer a moderate temperature regime: 20–25 ° С in the spring-summer time, in the autumn-winter period, a decrease to 15–16 ° С is permissible.

Flowering plants (abutilon, anthurium) during the period of bud formation and during the flowering period need timely thorough watering, but without stagnation of moisture.

Non-flowering representatives need moderate watering, more abundant and frequent irrigation is needed for maidenhair and aglaonema.

In the period from March to September, all plants can be fed 1-2 times a week with some kind of complex fertilizer. You can use Agricola - for ornamental plants, Bona Forte, ETISSO.

Dieffenbachia, abutilone and anthurium are more demanding for lighting. They need bright, diffused light. Its deficiency leads to a decrease in the brightness of the variegation of leaves in dieffenbachia, a decrease in the number of abutilon inflorescences and a reduction in the anthurium flowering period. For year-round flowering, it is recommended to illuminate anthurium with an ultraviolet lamp in winter.

Monstera does not tolerate direct sunlight in the spring-summer period, but when its large specimens are located far from windows in autumn-winter time, it is also desirable to highlight it.

All large-leaved indoor plants can be transplanted once a year in spring, while picking up a larger container volume. It is better to replant plants that are too large, overgrown and old in age less often - once every 3 years, but add the required amount of fertile soil to the pots every spring.

Types of decorative compositions made of artificial flowers

Beautiful decorative artificial flowers and plants by themselves will look especially attractive in the form of specially selected compositions. Having thought over the best ways to combine colors and textures, you can get an original decoration that harmoniously fits into any interior. The following types of flower arrangements are currently most common:

Artificial flower bouquets. They are flowers collected, according to the rules of floristry, differing in color and shape. The bouquet can be used as an element of decor all the time or in preparation for a festive event. You don't have to go to a highly paid florist to decorate your home with a beautiful bouquet of artificial flowers. Composing such a bouquet on your own does not require special skills. To create it with your own hands, it is enough to stock up on wire cutters for biting the wire, as well as special floristic wire and foam that fixes the flowers. Next, it remains to decide on the flowers that will be placed in the center and along the edges of the composition, and to choose decorative elements to decorate the resulting bouquet.
Plants in pots. It is also not difficult to make a pot with a unique flower arrangement yourself. First of all, you need to prepare a base for attaching artificial flower stems inside the pot. The base material can be polystyrene, foam rubber or a floral sponge. Thick stems are conveniently attached to a cardboard or plastic circle with holes cut. By placing the selected flowers in the pot, you can add artificial green twigs to the bouquet, which will enhance the natural effect. Imitating indoor flowers, such artificial plants outwardly practically do not differ from real ones. Beautiful pots do not require time and attention of their owners and will create a feeling of comfort and coziness in the house.
Hanging basket with flowers. In addition to the decorating function, such a basket can play the role of a candlestick or lamp. From a design point of view, it is undesirable to use hanging baskets in small spaces. Flower bouquets in a basket look best on empty walls, filling the space and decorating them. The hanging basket can accommodate both a classic flower bouquet and a more modern arrangement. A simpler but equally interesting option is to use an artificial climbing plant, such as ivy, in the basket. It will perfectly fit into the interior of any room at home.
Flowerpot with flowers. Wide floor vases are most often used in spacious rooms and halls, trade and exhibition pavilions. Stable vessels on the floor provide the ideal opportunity to create a indoor or winter garden.
Figures from flowers. Usually these are figures of animals or fairy-tale characters, which can serve as an unusual and very original gift for your loved ones.
Compositions for the garden. The best option for decorating a garden would be a combination of natural and artificial plants and trees. Low fences and arches entwined with hanging vines can be used as a decorative element. An artificial pond will look beautiful and unusual with artificial water lilies floating on its surface.

Ornamental deciduous houseplants: what are they?

What is it and how to define this group if there are two names. Ornamental-leaved and ornamental-deciduous houseplants - how correctly and how do they differ? Both names are correct and refer to plants that are bought primarily for their beautiful leaves or colors. The accepted division into decorative-flowering and decorative-leaved is based only on visual perception and has nothing to do with botany. You can find out the name of decorative leafy plants on this page, where the most popular crops are offered.

Look at the decorative foliage plants in the photo, where specimens of unusual shape and color are presented:

Along with many attractive decorative flowering crops, there are no fewer decorative leafy species that are also able to decorate any home due to interesting shapes and colors of various leaves.

From the point of view of science, most decorative leafy species belong to flowering plants. All plants that propagate by seeds bloom, although their flowers may be completely inconspicuous.

Since all our indoor crops, which are called decorative leafy, come from warm countries, they bloom with us very rarely or do not bloom at all. If the plants do bloom in your room, then in this way they demonstrate that the conditions created fully meet their needs. Many of these species are large trees at home, but in a pot and in other climates they retain the size of young plants. So, decorative-leaved species are primarily distinguished by their leaves, which, depending on the accessory or variety, can be small or large, velvety or leathery, smooth, embossed or rough. Often they are decorated with a chic pattern or stand out with an unusual shape.

If you want unusual decorative deciduous plants, see photos and names, remember and purchase these crops for your home:

Which ones can you keep?

A versatile and useful solution would be to breed edible greens in the kitchen in beautiful miniature boxes: onions, dill, parsley, arugula, and basil. You can even plant beans that will curl into a beautiful vine. Such plants will not only decorate the interior, but will delight the whole family all year round with their fresh taste and pleasant aroma. Some plants are recommended for cultivation in the kitchen, but they can be very moody in their care.

For example, Benjamin's ficus needs frequent spraying and regular watering, it is worth watering once later than the due date, as it immediately sheds its leaves.
If the kitchen is sunny, succulents are best suited: all varieties of aloe and Kalanchoe, as well as cacti. They need a minimum of moisture, they can rarely be watered (once every 2 weeks). Children and pets are almost not interested in such plants. They are safe for allergy sufferers and look beautiful all year round, are unpretentious to any kind of soil.

Chinese hibiscus needs good lighting, moderate watering, tolerates humid air well, and has a beneficial effect on other plants.

Begonia is a beautiful plant that blooms almost all year round. Do not forget that begonia is poisonous, but it disinfects the air in the room no worse than a quartz lamp, loves partial shade, but needs diffused sunlight for at least 2 hours a day.

Crassula (the so-called money tree) needs good drainage, as it has a rather weak root system. It is unpretentious to the composition of the soil and can withstand irregular watering.

As it gets dirty, it is necessary to wash the dust off the leaves with a slightly warm shower of medium pressure water.
If there is little sunlight in the kitchen, you should pay attention to such plants: dwarf ficus, dieffenbachia, anthurium, dracaena, fern, hedera (ivy).However, be careful: the juice of their leaves contains poison.

Sansevieria (mother-in-law's tongue) grows equally well with an abundance of sunlight and partial shade, loves humidity, needs an annual transplant for the first 3 years.
Unpretentious to any conditions are golden mustache, cyperus, tradescantia, chlorophytum

Such plants resemble ordinary grass in appearance, which attracts cats.

The coffee tree (not to be confused with the topiary made from coffee beans, despite the similar name) grows well, needs a drainage layer, the first 3 years requires an annual transplant. In the third year after planting, it begins to bear fruit, but after 8 years the beauty of such a plant withers, the leaves become sparse, the number of fruits is significantly reduced.

Ornamental pepper bears fruit all year round (some varieties with edible fruit), loves temperatures around 25 ° and diffused sunlight.

Fragrant geranium brings many benefits: it disinfects the air, but it is the strongest allergen.

Bamboo grows very quickly and is only suitable as a hedge between dining and work areas in spacious kitchens.

Indoor floor flowers

Some large houseplants are installed in flowerpots on the floor. Giant specimens are used to decorate rooms with huge areas. This technique is relevant if you need to refresh the interior or fill free space.

Outdoor unpretentious flowers

For your information! Floor flowers, even of small sizes, should be immediately exposed downward. Otherwise, it will be difficult for the plant to adapt to such a place later.

Indoor floor flowers are very hardy and do not seek direct sunlight

It is important to carry out high-quality and timely watering, spraying the crown and wiping from dust
