There are people who simply cannot live without seedlings and flowers. It is in the spring that they storm the markets in search of seedlings, after which they crowd themselves in a dense crowd in suburban trains in order to plant their favorite plants on their site as soon as possible. But what if you do not fit the description above too much, and you didn’t have a summer house, but there is a craving for flowers? In this case, there are wonderful plants that can be grown right at home. This will be our today's article. So, the top ten indoor plants for your home.
10. Aloe
According to various sources, there are about 350 varieties of this plant, while some aloe varieties can be grown at home. The most common is the well-known agave. Of course, indoor aloe does not carry a lot of properties that are beneficial to human health (only aloe vera is endowed with healing qualities), but you are not going to use a miniature plant as a home pharmacy, right? The sharp leaves of aloe look original, pleasing to the eye and create an atmosphere of peace in the house. In addition, superstitious people attribute aloe to the function of protecting housing from unhappiness.
9. Hibiscus
She is a tea rose, Chinese rose and hibiscus. Still tasted delicious hibiscus tea, right? Of course, the home plant will not bloom on such a scale that you forget the way to the tea shop, but it starts in the house for a different purpose. The variegated hibiscus petals look very beautiful and add color to the home interior. Tea rose does not belong to moody plants, and all that a flower needs in addition to moisture is regular sunlight. It is enough to put the pot on the south side, and you can enjoy the flowering of hibiscus almost all year round with a break for the winter. The only thing, sometimes you need to check the plant for the presence of a spider mite (the main disease of hibiscus).
8. Kalanchoe
In appearance, Kalanchoe resembles the painted miniature fruits of cauliflower. Unlike the same aloe, the beneficial qualities of the plant do not depend on its species. So if you decide to get yourself a Kalanchoe, you should know that a little doctor will settle in your room (the people really call the flower a surgeon because of the healing properties). Kalanchoe is also considered to be a converter of negative energy into positive. It is believed that the plant absorbs the streams of aggression and anger produced by people nearby, thereby bringing harmony and peace of mind to the house. Kalanchoe is extremely unpretentious in leaving, but the flower will feel best of all at the window in the southeast.
7. Cyclamen
It is clear that in 99 percent of cases caring for domestic plants is the prerogative of the beautiful half of humanity. However, of all the flowers, cyclamen is considered the most feminine. At least, observant young ladies noticed that, having acquired cyclamen, they began to more often catch men's views on themselves. Moreover, the process of transformation of the female person is extremely unobtrusive. Well, if this is so, then the flower has a priceless property. In this case, the plant does not need special care. During the flowering period, cyclamen delights the guests of the house with variegated flowers of red, pink and white shades (depending on the type).
6. Violet
Indoor violet will become a real decoration of your windowsill. Red, purple and white flowers will add color to gray everyday life and will cheer you up even on a cloudy day. However, the positive qualities of this plant do not end there. It is known that violets have a beneficial effect on the mental state of households. Flowers create an aura, thanks to which it is possible to avoid a strong outburst of emotions, both positive and negative. If there are small children in the house, doctors advise putting the violet in the room where the child spends the most time. The plant helps to improve the baby's mood and sound sleep. Of course, you should not hang up the duties of a home psychologist on the violet, because first of all everything is in your hands.
5. Begonia
There are several types of indoor begonia, each of which is beautiful and attractive in its own way. For example, the royal variety will amaze you with its bright colors: the rich raspberry shade smoothly turns into silver and is converted into emerald. Or here is the variety "Vesuvius", the flowers of which combine burgundy and black shades. In general, a rather sophisticated solution for fans of custom solutions. Like most houseplants, begonia benefits. The substances secreted by the flower adversely affect the bacteria of the fungus and mold, preventing the appearance of their final product. There is also a hypothesis that begonia sets people up for communication and does not allow them to withdraw into themselves.
4. Decorative bamboo
Another outstanding plant that will decorate any interior and will attract the attention of guests. In fact, what we call decorative bamboo has almost nothing to do with wild bamboo. After all, a domestic plant has a curved trunk and a small height (up to 1 meter). This is one of the types of shrub dracaena (Sander). The plant almost never blooms, but this does not seem to be required of it. Evergreen dracaena will become a luxurious decoration. The owners of the house will calm and inspire new things, and guests will certainly appreciate not only the plant, but also the great taste of its owner.
3. Spathiphyllum
Not only the name of this plant looks complicated here. During flowering, the eyes of the owner of the spathiphyllum open buds of amazing beauty. On the one hand, they look like snow-white sails, and on the other, flowers resemble torches, the flame of which rushed confidently upward. Spathiphyllum is popularly referred to as "feminine happiness." A lot of signs are connected with the plant, one of which is the following: to find your betrothed, you need to take good care of the flower and in no case give it to anyone. Home spathiphyllums are divided into several types - from 10 cm to a meter high.
2. Sansevieria
Another exotic name on our list. Sansevieria in its appearance resembles aloe - evergreen dense leaves filled with moisture also tend to grow upward. Since the flower itself can accumulate the resulting moisture and evenly distribute it, care for sansevieria is minimized. Even watering the plant needs only a couple of times a month. This flower is the best suited for beginner florists. If you have the sad experience of growing other domestic plants, then be sure to try sansevieria and see that you are by no means hopeless.
1. Money tree
Well, the famous money tree closes our rating of indoor plants. It owes its name to round fleshy leaves, very reminiscent of coins. It is not surprising that superstitious people associate a bunch of legends and all kinds of signs with the money tree. Of course, you can believe in anything, but you understand that bills from the sky do not sprinkle, much less grow on a tree. The plant itself does not require painstaking care and is perfectly adapted to the weather conditions and seasons of our country. In the best way, a pot with a money tree will feel in a shaded place in the southeast.
