Cacti and succulents are ideal for forgetful owners

Cacti are the most unpretentious indoor plants, they tolerate drought well and can go without watering for a long time due to their ability to accumulate water. For this ability, they are referred to as succulents.

In nature, cacti grow in an arid climate, poor in moisture: deserts and semi-deserts. During the rainy season, they "store" water and can do without it for months.

That is why succulents at home are ideal plants for owners who do not like or forget to water their flowers regularly. Cacti are compact in size and fit perfectly on windowsills.

Cacti are distinguished by a great variety of species. They are beautiful and unusual due to the different shapes and abundance of thorns. Their flowers are original, unique in shape and color, but it can be difficult to achieve flowering.

In the cold season, succulents and cacti are not watered. Cold water and frequent watering can be detrimental to the "thorns", they become saturated with moisture and begin to rot. For a cactus to bloom, you need to choose a pot by size or slightly smaller. Bye root system will not completely fill the contents of the pot, the plant will not even think to bloom.

All succulents, without exception, love good lighting, so it is advisable to place them on the sunny side. Regular airing promotes rapid growth.

Secondly, most of them do not require intense lighting. In addition, they do not need additional humidification and tolerate dry apartment air well.

However, when choosing unpretentious indoor flowers, you still need to take into account some of their features and your personal preferences. You can choose species that bloom all year round, or ampel varieties that will beautifully complement the interior with their flexible hanging stems.

Indoor unpretentious flowers blooming all year round

Unpretentious indoor flowers blooming all year round are the dream of any housewife. They will refresh the interior with their bright buds, but you don't need to spend a lot of time caring for them.

There are a lot of unpretentious blooming crops, and you can buy them at any flower shop. Let's consider the most popular ones.

Geranium (pelargonium)

Geranium is one of the most common home colors (Figure 1). Most varieties are designed to be grown in the garden, but there are a large number of species that are adapted for growing in a city apartment.

Note: Geranium has a pungent odor that repels insects well and destroys bacteria in the air. But staying next to blooming geraniums for a long time is not recommended, as its aroma can cause a headache.

This flower loves light, but it is impossible to put it on the southern windowsill because of the risk of burns on the leaves and buds.

Other geranium care features include:

• Moderate watering: the flower does not like too moisturized mail, as excess moisture can cause root rot. In addition, in winter, when geranium is at rest, watering is almost completely stopped.
• The temperature should be at room temperature, since it is this regime that is best suited for geraniums and ensures its year-round flowering. The exceptions are December and January, when the flower is at rest.
• Pruning is rarely done and only if the flower has grown a lot.

Figure 1. External features of room geranium

To propagate pelargonium, it is better to use the cuttings method, but in some cases you can use the direct sowing method.

Begonia also belongs to the unpretentious species with abundant flowering. If you provide her with optimal care, new buds and inflorescences will form all year round (Figure 2).

Figure 2. Growing begonias at home

You can use any soil for begonia. In addition, they normally tolerate high and low temperatures, but they need good lighting for abundant flowering. In summer, the pots can be taken out to the balcony and left there overnight.

Balsam has another name - "light" because of its large single flowers with characteristic spurs (Figure 3). When balsam is covered with numerous inflorescences, its leaves are not visible, and this period lasts a long time (from June to October).

Figure 3. External features of indoor balsam

Balsam likes good lighting, but does not tolerate direct sunlight. In addition, he loves warmth, but on hot days he needs to be sprayed with boiled water at room temperature. However, when growing balsam, care must be taken that the pots are not too close to each other. Tightness can cause the balsam to shed its leaves prematurely.

Unpretentious indoor flowers living in the shade

In urban apartments, it is far from always possible to provide lighting that is optimal for flower crops. If the windows of your apartment or house mostly face the north side, it makes sense to plant shade-loving and unpretentious varieties.

The variety of unpretentious and shade-loving indoor plants is quite large. Among them there are ordinary deciduous, and ampelous, characterized by high decorativeness, and even flowering. The characteristics of the most unpretentious representatives of various groups will be given below.

In the video review, you will find additional information on shade-loving indoor plants.

Blooming

Many unpretentious crops that tolerate shade well are distinguished by long and abundant flowering. But, despite the ease of caring for them, some of the cultivation features should still be taken into account.

The popular name for spathiphyllum is "female happiness". This culture has pointed leaves and white, sail-like flowers (Figure 4).

Figure 4. Features of growing spathiphyllum

Spathiphyllum is great for growing on northern windows. However, it is quite sensitive to the moisture of the soil and air, so it is necessary not only to provide the flower with abundant watering, but also to regularly sprinkle the leaves. In addition, wilted buds should be regularly removed to extend the flowering period of the spathiphyllum.

It is a lush shrub that grows covered with large white inflorescences during the flowering period (Figure 5). Gardenia is one of the few species that does not stop flowering even with a lack of sunlight.

Figure 5. Growing gardenia at home

Despite the fact that gardenia belongs to unpretentious crops for the home, it needs to be provided with regular and sufficiently plentiful watering. In addition, the flower is sensitive to dry air, so when the temperature rises, the gardenia leaves should be regularly sprayed with boiled water at room temperature.

Outwardly, Saintpaulia resembles an ordinary violet, but differs from it in its shade-loving and unpretentiousness (Figure 6).

Saintpaulia is a short shrub with lush leaves and large flowers. Leathery leaves are covered with small villi, thanks to which it tolerates a lack of moisture well.

Figure 6. External features of Saintpaulia

Moderate watering is required, and the low humidity of the apartment will not interfere with the abundant flowering of Saintpaulia. However, wilted buds need to be removed regularly so that the plant does not waste its energy on them and form new buds.

Ampelny

The value of unpretentious ampelous species is that they can be used to decorate various surfaces in the house. In addition, they tolerate shade well, and they can be placed not only on the windowsill, but also away from natural light sources.

Consider the characteristics and features of growing some shade-loving and unpretentious ampelous species for the house.

Indoor ivy is loved by many flower growers. This culture with variegated leaves of an unusual shape is highly decorative, but at the same time it is very easy to care for it (Figure 7).

Figure 7. Using ivy in home decor

A small ivy seedling quickly grows green mass, even if placed in the back of the room. As a rule, hanging pots are used for planting ivy, and its flexible shoots are attached to threads or other supports.

The green-leaved syngonium is represented in a wide variety of species. Regardless of the variety, syngonium feels good in rooms with a lack of natural lighting (Figure 8).

Figure 8. Cultivation of green-leaved syngonium

In fact, it is a small vine with juicy green leaves. It quickly grows green mass, and its flexible shoots can be used to decorate various surfaces. The only maintenance requirement is to maintain an optimal moisture level. The syngonium needs to be watered often, and in hot weather the leaves should be sprayed (preferably in the morning or evening).

Roicissus rhombic

Roicissus rhomboid is considered one of the classic climbing crops for the home, which are distinguished by their unpretentious care (Figure 9). This flower quickly adapts to any growing conditions, tolerates both high and low temperatures normally.

Note: The main feature of the rocissus is its increased sensitivity to bright light. If you put it on a well-lit windowsill, burns can form on its leaves. Therefore, diffused light or light shadow is more suitable for him.

Figure 9. Roicissus rhomboid and features of its cultivation

Thanks to its flexible stems and juicy green leaves of its original shape, it can be used to decorate furniture or tie its shoots to small supports.

Palm and large-sized

Large indoor plants that love shade are great for decorating the interior in those parts of the room where there is little sunlight. They can be grown either singly or in combination with other flowers for the home.

Ficuses

The group of ficuses includes many species that differ in leaf shape, height and growing characteristics (Figure 10). Some ficuses require intense enough lighting and careful care, while others tolerate shade well and do not need frequent watering.

Figure 10. Growing ficuses at home

The most unpretentious among the ficuses is considered to be rubbery. It tolerates shade well and can be grown in almost any conditions. This plant quickly grows green mass, but requires some maintenance. First, you need to provide him with regular and sufficiently plentiful watering. Secondly, large leaves of ficus should be regularly wiped with a damp cloth and sprayed with boiled water at room temperature.

Hamedorea is a slow growing palm tree that is great for shade (Figure 11).

Figure 11. Growing hamedorea at home

To make the plant lush and beautiful, you need to regularly rinse its leaves in the shower, and spray on hot days. In addition, direct sunlight is destructive for him, so on hot days it must be shaded.

Rapis

Rapis is a shade-loving indoor palm that has a high decorative value when properly cared for (Figure 12). There are two types of rapeseed: low and high, but low varieties are often grown at home. Their height does not exceed one and a half meters, while the plant remains quite compact, while high varieties can reach three meters in height.

Figure 12. External features of the undersized rape

Despite the fact that rapese intensively grows green mass in natural light, direct sunlight is harmful for it, and it is better to put the pot in partial shade. Rotate the pot periodically so that the crown forms evenly. Rapis tolerates room temperature well, and in summer it can be displayed on the balcony.

The hardest part of rapeseed care is watering. The soil should be constantly moist, but it should not be allowed to dry out or excessive moisture.

Deciduous indoor plants

The most valuable shade-loving indoor plants are deciduous. They form a lush green mass, do not need special care and perfectly decorate the interior.

Types and varieties of deciduous shade-loving plants quite a lot, so you can easily choose a flower that is suitable for the conditions of your apartment.

Fittonia is a highly decorative plant, mainly because of its variegated leaves. But its value is not only in its decorativeness, but also in its unpretentiousness (Figure 13).

Figure 13. Growing Fittonia at home

Fittonia tolerates lack or even lack of sunlight well, and can grow even with artificial lighting... That is why it is often grown in offices and other areas with a lack of sun. However, this crop needs to ensure optimal watering and air humidity. In summer, it is watered quite often, and in the cold season, the number of waterings is reduced. In addition, you need to maintain the humidity in the room by spraying the leaves with boiled water at room temperature.

Outwardly, nephrolepis resembles a fern, because this houseplant belongs to this particular group (Figure 14). Several types of this culture are grown at home, and all of them are highly decorative.

Figure 14. Using nephrolepis for home decoration

Nephrolepis is very unpretentious. It grows well in any soil, it tolerates the dry air of a city apartment well and does not require special care. Periodically, nephrolepis needs to be transplanted into larger pots (as the bush grows), and watering should be moderate.

Fatskhedera lise is an evergreen vine with unusual leaves (Figure 15). Its flexible stems are often used to decorate vertical surfaces in the home, and its ability to tolerate shade makes it an indispensable aid in interior decoration.

Figure 15. Features of growing fatshedera lize at home

Despite the fact that fatshedera tolerates shade well, if possible, it can also be exposed on lighted windowsills. You can keep the plant when room temperature, but in winter it is better to transfer it to a cool room. During the period of active growth, the flower is provided with abundant, but not excessive watering.

Note: You can determine that the soil is too wet by the color of the leaves: from excess moisture, they will begin to turn yellow.

If the room is cool, additional humidification is not required. But, if the temperature rises above 18 degrees, the leaves are periodically sprayed with boiled water or a stationary humidifier is installed near the pot with the plant.

Hello, dear readers! It is often impossible to create ideal plant conditions in a room. Indoor air is often dry, lack of sunlight, drafts. All this is a destructive environment for many types of whimsical indoor plants, especially for representatives of exotic flora.
