Indoor flowers that tolerate heat and dry air
Only a few types of flowers can resist these negative factors.
Zameokulkas, or dollar tree
Zameokulkas is a favorite among ornamental, beautiful and unusual plants. The flower is found in every office or apartment. It is unpretentious, as it accumulates moisture well and easily tolerates heat. Water as the soil dries up about once a week. Zameokulkas is one of the few specimens that is classified as a plant that loves direct sunlight.
Intensive growth is observed from April to September. The dollar tree prefers bright, diffused light, but without the penetration of direct sunlight. In winter, artificial lighting can be provided to the plant. It is fed with a variety of vitamin complexes and fertilizers.
Important! The plant adapts gradually according to the season. Water must be soft or rainwater
Spraying the plant is optional, but you can wipe the leaves with a damp cloth to remove dust.
There is a sign that flowering has begun, this will lead to well-being or move to a new home. The flowers resemble a yellow or cream-colored corn on the cob.
Kalanchoe
Kalanchoe is a representative of the Tolstyankov family. The plant is used for both decorative and medicinal purposes. The leaves of the flower are dense and fleshy. With proper care, 8 months pleases the gardener with its lush flowers. It tolerates drought and high humidity very well. Disease resistant and reproduces well.
Grows indoors wherever there is sunlight. Feels good on western and eastern windows. It blooms in autumn and spring, in winter it is desirable to provide additional lighting. It tolerates temperature changes and grows ideally on the balcony or in the garden. Kalanchoe is watered as the soil dries up, while it does not need to be sprayed. Once a week it is necessary to apply fertilizing with mineral fertilizers. You can transplant adult plants every three years.
Pelargonium
Pelargonium belongs to the Geraniev family and is considered an aristocratic flower. It was grown and planted to this day in personal plots, greenhouses, verandas, balconies and beautiful gardens. The stems of the plant are straight with lush leaves, the inflorescences are expressed with a bright specific aroma.
For your information! Many people confuse pelargonium with geranium. The main difference is that geranium has no scarlet color and pelargonium has no blue hues.
Pelargonium is unpretentious in care, easily tolerates reproduction, blooms all year round, and the leaves are saturated with a pleasant spicy aroma. It prefers to grow in bright sunlight, but the plant should be protected from drafts, rains and winds.
The soil should be loose, well-drained and fertile. They are fed with fertilizers every 14 days. Watering is done as the top layer of the earth dries up. Propagated by seed and cuttings.
Pelargonium will perfectly decorate a garden, veranda or balcony.
Pelargonium is a mysterious flower that decorates a house in any style
Indoor ivy
Indoor ivy is widely used in interior decoration of office and residential premises, it is effectively combined with other colors. Ivy is an evergreen vine.
Note! Various types of ivy can be found in stores, but the most popular are Heder, Canary and English. Hedera does not bloom in living quarters, but its green leaves with white edging will perfectly decorate the space.
Ivy is unpretentious and undemanding to care for.
It is necessary to determine the location of the ivy right away, since the plant does not tolerate changing places well and grows well on the western side of the apartment.
Lighting should be diffused, but not in direct sunlight. The soil needs to be slightly acidic and loose. In stores, you can purchase a universal primer.
The bush does not need watering, however, to prevent the leaves from drying out, it is necessary to spray them. The water should be rain or warm. Propagated by cuttings, shoots and layering.
Indoor ivy is ideal for beginner gardeners. With proper care, he will have a lush bright crown, which will delight with its richness on cold winter evenings.
When choosing sun-loving indoor flowers, it is necessary to take into account the side the windows face, the features of proper flower care. Before purchasing, you should familiarize yourself with the necessary information from books or the Internet. It is also necessary to consult a specialist in the store. Only then will the purchased flower become a decoration of the house.

How to make a phytolamp and what is needed for this
Patience is required here. In order not to be mistaken, take your time and carefully follow the point by point.
Preparation of materials
To make a phytolamp with your own hands, prepare in advance:
- LEDs or LED strips of the required quantity and required colors.
- A 12 volt power supply (driver), with the required power, which we have already calculated (the power of all lamps).
- Connecting wire and connector. You can use a block from an old mobile phone charger. Check that it is working. Difficulties with soldering the wire to the driver and the charger unit should not arise; there and there are two ends. To check, you can temporarily wrap the charger case with electrical tape, then tighten it with glue.
- You will also need an aluminum profile or PVC sheet 20 by 20 cm and 2 mm thick. Sold in hardware stores. The aluminum profile is better. We will tell you how to make a case from such a profile with your own hands in the next chapter.
In addition to a sheet of PVC or aluminum, ordinary plastic or polycarbonate is also used. But the last two materials are the most unreliable, the diodes will quickly burn out.
How to make an aluminum case
Experienced gardeners recommend using aluminum when assembling phytolamps with your own hands. The lamp should ideally run 12 hours a day. More often in those hours when there is no sun. Then the seedlings will get stronger and bloom. But if the LEDs do not have decent cooling, then they will burn out, and you will have to spend time on repairs.
Choose an aluminum profile depending on the area of the illuminated surface and the location of the internal electrical parts (number of LED contacts, driver size, etc.). For convenience, we recommend a U-shaped profile.
We drill holes for the diodes, insert them.
Or we glue the LED strip and make two holes for the mains power wires.
Choosing a special heat-conducting adhesive. There are a lot of them now.
We recommend using two brands.
- Kafuter K-5204K. Attaches in 10 minutes, completely hardens in a day. A tube of 80 grams costs from 400 to 700 rubles.
- Fujik Heatsilk Compound. Its main advantage is that it sets in half an hour, completely hardens in an hour. A tube of 20 grams costs from 100 to 200 rubles.
They have high thermal conductivity, hold glued parts tightly and do not dry out in a tube or syringe, unlike many analogues. Automotive sealant can also be used if glue is not available. Judging by the reviews on the Internet, it keeps the LEDs no less good.
LED connection
Now we connect the chain. We have chosen the so-called serial connection. It allows you to connect a large number of diodes at the same time, because the current remains constant. Parallel connection is worse in many ways.
For such a connection, we need to determine the plus and minus of the diode.Take it in your hand and take a closer look at the contacts inside the cone: a small one is a positive contact, a large one is a negative one.
For clarity, we recommend watching the video:
The electrical part of the phytolamp is assembled according to the following scheme:
We connect the first contact of the driver with the plus of the diode, the minus of the diode with the plus of the next, and so on, until the circuit returns back to the driver
In this case, it does not matter which of the two pins of the driver to connect diodes
The connection inside the case will look like this:
Now we check if our phytolamp is working. If all is well, it remains to install the lamp in the place you want.
Fitolamp installation
There are a lot of phytolamp mounting options, on the Internet you can find instructions for every taste. We will give two examples: how to fix it over the windowsill and how to assemble the rack with your own hands.
To hang the lamp over your seedlings or flowers, we attach two loops along the edges of the body. You can purchase, for example, cable clamps:
Now we hang it over the windowsill. For suspension, you can choose small cables:
More details - in the video:
If you want to make your own seedling shelves, there are dozens of versions on the Internet. Shelves can take up an entire room:
Or a humble corner:
There are creative ideas:
Collecting any of these racks is usually not difficult.
If you are not confident in your abilities, check out these two instructions:
Varieties
There are several varieties of such devices on the market, including a multispectral (multispectral) LED plant lamp. Among them are LED and RGB strip. There are full spectrum patterns or yellow, blue, white, pink. Since each color is responsible for a special effect on the plant, it is worth having in your arsenal such equipment that will be needed at different stages of seedling growth.
Linear diode luminaires have their own classification depending on which spectrum is used:
- red-orange;
- violet blue;
- yellow;
- ultraviolet;
- green.
Red and orange have wavelengths in the range of 595-720 nm. Installing them indoors has a positive effect on the process of photosynthesis. Seeds germinate faster, orange spectrum affects fruiting. But if you use this lamp color too often during the flowering period, then the plant's growth can be suppressed.
The violet and blue shades of LED lamps have a wavelength in the range of 380-490 Nm. This spectrum also has a positive effect on the process of photosynthesis, it helps to speed up the process of plant growth.
If you use such lighting, then proteins are produced in the cells faster, flowering occurs faster than the established time, which is important with a short daylight hours. Through the influence of the blue spectrum, the root system is formed and strengthened, as well as the crown
If you want plants not to stretch out in your home garden, then you should use ultraviolet lighting with a wavelength of 280-380 Nm. It is thanks to this spectrum that resistance to sudden changes in ambient temperature is acquired. But the gardener should remember that an excess of ultraviolet radiation kills any plant.
You can also find yellow LED lamps on the market, but they do not have any effect on the growth and development of plants. The same applies to the green spectrum, which has a wavelength between 490 and 565 nm.
Making a phyto-lamp with your own hands
A home craftsman can make a phytolamp for plants with his own hands. The easiest way is to work with LEDs, selecting them according to two parameters: color and power.
To assemble the simplest model of a homemade design, you will need 3 Watt elements in the following proportion:
- blue - 4 pcs (wavelength 445 nm);
- red - 10 pcs (660 nm);
- white - 1 pc;
- green - 1 pc.
The LEDs are mounted by gluing thermal grease to an aluminum heatsink plate. After installation, they are connected in series with wires by soldering and connected to a ballast device (driver) of suitable current strength.
On the back of the radiator, a fan is attached from the computer system unit.
Instructions for the collection of fluorescent lamps
MNBer shared valuable information about self-assembly of fluorescent lamps: “Girls, I have two lights working: one on the floor, the other on the window. One of 4 lamps is "Flora". The cost of an ordinary backlight is about 450 rubles. Reflectors - mirrors from a shovel sideboard (you can use any foil material). These are two ordinary lamps of a warm spectrum (there are also blue cold ones, they are not suitable) 36 W 120 cm long + a choke (Feron EB53 electronic ballast 2x36). This is such a thing with long wires of 1.2 m. There is "Epra", it is cheaper. At the ends of the wires are of the socket type, which are very easily connected to the lamps (the pins on the lamps are inserted into the holes on the sockets) + a wire with a plug + electrical tape. A wire with a plug is twisted to the chokes, insulated with electrical tape and inserted into a regular outlet.
All this structure was assembled by myself (and I am a granny, I am 60 years old), without the help of men, I do not involve my son-in-law in gardening. If there is a man in the house, it will take him a couple of minutes to build it. The "Flora" lamp seems to be better (but, to be honest, I did not notice that under the "Flora" plants are better), but the price of one lamp is more than 300 rubles. "

I myself have such a lamp on the loggia (with an old choke), and when it's cold, and even if it's +10, the lamp blinks and may not start at all. In general, these lamps were created for hospitals, children's institutions, offices, public places (the same metro), i.e. where the temperature is not lower than +15. Although there are, of course, special purpose lamps)

I needed a lamp for flower seedlings. I wanted to evenly cover the illumination area, to stand where it is possible to "stick" the seedling box (on my refrigerator). I chose LEDs, because they are economical, safe, they heat very little and therefore they can be placed at a very short distance from plants.
The important parameters for the luminaire are power and wavelength. The luminaire is made of monochrome LEDs of the "vegetable" spectrum "440nm (blue) and 660nm (deep red). The power is calculated from the parameter 100W per square meter. The ratio of blues to reds is 1: 1.

There is one flora + one daylight for one shelf of the rack, it is enough, in principle, taking into account that there are 2 large windows in the room

Thanks for the interesting article, I'm just thinking how to organize the right place for seedlings, this article will help me.)
I would certainly buy special lamps that are eco. But they are inconvenient to fasten, long ones are much more convenient.
Sorry, only registered users can post reviews here. Please, introduce yourself or register.
Other recommendations
Backlighting in winter, with short daylight hours, is important. For many plants
Accustomed to living in the southern regions, it is required to extend the day by 4-5 hours using the backlight. When growing seedlings at home, it is important to take into account that when it germinates, the first 3-4 days it needs round-the-clock lighting. After the end of this period, you can gradually reduce the backlight to 16, and then to 14 hours per day. If lighting is required 1 sq. m. home greenhouse, then you need a phytolamp with a power of at least 70 watts. If luminaires with the required parameters are not on sale, a combination of several others is allowed to result in a suitable lighting. For example, fluorescent lamps can be added to phytolamps.
When the device is installed, it is important to monitor the reaction of the plants to the backlight. Excess lighting is also harmful, as is lack
It is easy to determine that the lamp needs to be moved away or to reduce the intensity of its glow if the leaves are drooping and faded, curl, wither and die off. In addition, gray or brown burn spots may occur.
Fluorescent lamps
This is what fluorescent lamps are called. They are suitable for growing seedlings by non-professional growers.
Advantages:
- luminous efficiency - 40-50 Lm / W, that is, the efficiency is quite high,
- does not heat up and does not dry the air near plants,
- long service life,
- cold light, which is necessary especially at an early stage of growth, so that the seedlings do not stretch out.
Disadvantages:
- Lamps with a choke with an unreliable starter flicker and make some noise, and also give several flashes before starting, which reduces the service life of the device, but you can use an electronic ballast instead - an electronic ballast.
- Cannot be used at temperatures below +15 +20 degrees. Therefore, when tempering seedlings on loggias, you must carefully monitor the air temperature.
- There is no red spectrum. It is possible, as a last resort, to be used together with an incandescent lamp, but it is better with a "Flora" lamp or (which is the most economical and good for plants) with warm glow fluorescent lamps.
It is better to use more powerful lamps - from 18 to 36 watts. The longer the length, the more powerful the lamp is. As for the kind of light - cold or warm, Mama Lanya writes: “I have Osram 18W / 765 and 18W / 840. These are 60 cm lamps. If we take the long one (1.2 m), then it will be 36W / 765 or 36W / 840. 765th - with cold white light, 840th - with warm yellowish. I read that at the first stage, the seedlings need white light (for growing the root), and at the second stage, you need a warm yellow light for the green mass. But I do not follow so clearly where I put it, and it grows there. I personally (and my seedlings, of course) like the 765s more, perhaps because their light seems brighter. "
Rice. 5 Photo by Mama Lanya, Osram 18W / 865 60 cm (daylight white light).
Mama Lanya shares her experience of growing seedlings in the first stage in the bathroom: “I really like the following: there are no drafts in the bathroom. It is always humid and warm there. There are no scorching rays of the sun, no batteries. The light of the lamp does not bother anyone. That is, there are some pluses, and almost no minuses (the minuses are electricity and tightness). The lamp turns on and off by itself, according to the timer - from 6:30 to 00:00. It hangs about 5-8 cm from the seedlings. If you need to raise some plants (they can be of different heights) - I put all sorts of boxes and bowls. In general, the lamp hangs on a cord, and the height is easy to adjust. Well, now it has been 2 days since all the seedlings have moved to a new house (a greenhouse with shelves, standing in a room). "
Rice. 6 Photo by Mama Lanya.
It is more profitable to use long lamps, 120 cm each, than 60 cm, since they have more power and total light output. Instead of 4 lamps 60 cm long by 18 W, it is better to hang 2 long 120 cm lamps with a power of 36 W. Height varies from 15 cm to 50 cm above the tops of plants, depending on their photophilousness. And, of course, it is necessary to mount the lamps for the entire length of the window sill, and not just in the middle.

Advantages and disadvantages
Unlike energy-saving (ESL) analogs of phyto lamps, LEDs have really important advantages:
- Safety (no poisonous elements inside the flask, including mercury vapor).
- Frequent switching on and off does not affect the service life (incandescent lamps and ECLs wear out faster from this).
- Diodes are compact, much smaller than all other types of lamps (and do not require bulky control devices; only a small power supply called a driver).
- High vibration resistance and mechanical strength.
- Saves even more energy than energy saving lamps.
True, they also have one big drawback - high cost. This is partly due to the fact that diodes have recently entered the market. Maybe with the development of technology, the cost will decrease.
The second drawback is the less familiar light for human eyes, it hurts the eyes. But for plants, there is no difference. Also, LEDs get very hot with poor heat dissipation. But with proper cooling, diodes can last for more than one year.
In fact, diodes have only one significant drawback - their high cost.
We recommend watching a video on the topic "Assembling a rack with phytolamp".
Description and main characteristics of the device
There are many different lamps for lighting a flower. How do you choose the right one for your orchid?
Energy Saving Lamps (CFL)
-
Their advantages over conventional incandescent lamps are obvious:
- Energy is consumed 4-5 times less. And the return is higher;
- Long warranty service life;
- The safety is higher. Short circuits are rare.
- Phytolamps are produced and offered with different spectra:
- Blue;
- Red.
- Developers and manufacturers promise:
- Only 20% of the heat energy is spent on heat;
- And 80% - to light.
- They can be placed at least 3 cm from plants;
- Models (manufacturers):

- Daylight illumination - 4000-6440K. Universal;
- Cold tones (close to blue) - more than 6500 K. During the growing season.
Luminescent
- Gases (often mercury), due to the coating of lamps with a phosphor form, provide the presence of ultraviolet rays:
- LB (white color);
- LD (daytime chromaticity);
- LDC (daytime chromaticity with improved color rendering).
- Suitable for highlighting orchids in shades 33, 840 and 865;
-
Manufacturers:

Mercury gas discharge
- The principle of their work, as well as fluorescent;
-
But the marking is different;
- You need one with a glow temperature from 3.200 to 4.200 K;
- There are also sodium discharge lamps. Low and high pressure.
LED
- LED (Led lamps) are in greatest demand among orchid lovers;
-
What attracts:
- Profitability;
- Long service life;
- Environmental Safety;

LED strips
Now on Aliexpress you can order a 1 meter long LED strip for a few dollars, with different combinations of blue and red LEDs. To dissipate heat, it can be glued to the aluminum threshold for linoleum joints. You will also need a 12 Volt power supply, which it is advisable to order with a current margin of at least 0.4A.
For some reason, the "flimsy" 100 mA power supplies offered by the seller stopped working after 2-3 weeks of use, after that I ordered a 0.4A power supply (it is already as solid in the form of a rectangular box as a laptop charger), I think with it there will be no problems.
Overview of existing bulbs
To make the information easier to perceive, we will simultaneously list all the existing types of lamps that are best suited for lighting and growing plants, and immediately talk about how rationally to use each option.
So, today, to illuminate the plant world in the house, you can choose and use such light sources as:
- Incandescent lamps. The cheapest and not recommended option for many reasons: they have a short service life, low light output (up to 17 lm / W) and significant heat generation. As a result, seedlings or indoor flowers in a pot will not receive the required amount of light, as a result of which this will negatively affect the growth rate and, accordingly, the correct cultivation. In addition, a light bulb that is too powerful can burn the leaves if it is placed next to the plant. Bottom line - this option in no case should be used at home, because it is best to choose more modern and efficient types of lamps, which we will talk about below.
- Fluorescent (energy saving) lamps. It is much more advisable to choose this option and use it to illuminate vegetation in the house, greenhouse and directly in the aquarium. Energy efficient light sources have many advantages, such as high luminous efficiency, low heat generation and economy, which makes them a good option for lighting indoor and aquarium plants. In addition, there are special fluorescent phytolamps that are intended only for growing seedlings and flowers.
- LED bulbs. LEDs are the youngest type of light bulbs, which in a short period of time managed to gain high interest in various fields of application. LED lamps are better for plants due to the fact that they consume a minimum amount of electricity, generate practically no heat, and besides, there can be different spectrum of light radiation, which allows you to choose suitable LED bulbs for your own type of plants in the house.
- Gas-charged (sodium, mercury, metal halide). It is necessary to dwell on this version of lighting products in more detail, because not all gas charging lamps are suitable for growing plants. Mercury lamps are among the worst options for plant growth in the home, greenhouse, and aquarium. This is due to the fact that DRL bulbs have a luminous flux almost 2 times less than sodium and metal halide light sources. In addition, the light spectrum of mercury products itself is not quite suitable for the development and further growth of seedlings, flowers, and algae. As for the sodium lamps - HPS, they glow brightly yellow-orange, which is very much in line with natural sunlight. Expert opinion - it is better to choose and use mercury bulbs for growing flower plants. Well, the last option - metal halide lamps are the most expensive, but at the same time, the most suitable light sources for those representatives of the "green world" who prefer vegetative growth rather than flowering.
To learn more about which bulbs are best suited for growing seedlings (for example, tomatoes) or flowers, you can watch the video examples:
Models and their characteristics
There are many Chinese LED lamps on the market that promise gentle home garden care. There are also goods from other countries, including Russian ones. Domestic manufacturers offer models with a control panel of 5 watts or more.
Chiston-S products have a specially selected spectrum, therefore they are used for growing seedlings. It can be installed both as the main light source and as an additional one. The area covered by the light makes it possible to use the equipment not only at home, but also in small greenhouses. The cost of the lamp is only 1100 rubles, which makes the product in demand on the market.
Projectors manufactured under the Grow Light brand are equally popular. One of their best representatives is the 300W model. In American luminaires of this type, one can distinguish from the advantages a service life of up to 50,000 hours and a coverage area of up to 15 square meters. m. The equipment demonstrates stable operation in a room with an air temperature from -20 to +50 degrees Celsius. The fixture has an improved 12-band full spectrum from UV depth to IR height.
There are other models that you should definitely pay attention to.
- Galaxyhydro LED Grow Plant Light 300w. Size: 12.1 * 8.2 * 2.4 inches. Has a sterilization function. The package includes one LED light, one power cord, one stainless steel hook. The manufacturer gives a 2-year warranty.
- "MarsHydro Mars300 and Mars600". Suitable for beginners looking for an inexpensive fixture. Ideal for seedlings. Shows a balanced spectrum with an emphasis on red light making it ideal for anyone looking for equipment to support flowering.
- KingTM 1200w Power Full Spectrum 360-860 nm. Uses the full spectrum of 360-870 nm sunlight for plants, thereby accelerating growth.
- TaoTronics E27 Growing Lamp 12w. It has 12 LEDs (3 blue and 9 red), ultra bright. It features low power consumption, high luminous efficiency and long service life. These lamps emit light wavelengths of 660 and 430 nm; 630 and 460 nm. The four spectra offer maximum efficiency.
- EcoSuma 120-Degree Beam Angle Big Irradiated Area 12W. It guarantees a fast growth of the plant, which is three times higher than the natural one. Uses the blue and red spectrum, providing precise impact on the seedlings.
- Black Dog Review-PhytoMAX-2 200W: Known by professional gardeners as one of the best brands on the market. Only a few brands can compete with this luminaire in terms of light intensity and quality. The equipment is available in various power settings: 200W, 400W, 600W, 800W, 1000W. The product is made in America, hence the high quality. It is characterized by high light intensity and a broad spectrum that is able to penetrate deep under the crown, providing light to the lower tiers.
