Indoor flowers mascots in 2020: we take it to the window
Very soon the chimes will strike and the Year of the Rat will come. An excellent animal, hardy and cunning. I would even say intellectual.
But not everyone (especially women) likes tailed mascot rodents. Therefore, I offer alternative options that will surely appeal to lovers of indoor flowers. They look nice, and in terms of energy they are suitable for the role of a green symbol for 2020.
How quickly time flies - it seems like they recently entered the new millennium. And now it's 2020
Nice message: capricious house flowers cannot become the mascot of 2020. After all, rats perfectly adapt to any conditions and adversity. This means that the flowers should be unpretentious and unpretentious to care. Therefore, if you are a beginner to indoor floriculture or just do not want to bother, then all our candidates for the role of a flower mascot 2020 are perfect!
According to the eastern calendar, 2020 is marked by the Metal White Rat. It is not hard to guess which indoor plants will become the talisman for the next 365 days:
White geranium (pelargonium)
Perhaps, it is difficult to imagine a more tenacious plant for the home than zonal pelargonium. They tolerate everything: cold drafts, scorching rays of the sun, drought and lack of dressing. And it blooms, the infection!
In 2020, any white geranium can become a home flower that brings good luck. I especially like the option in the photo above: a variety with contrasting colors. Red prints in the center of the petals, oh, look like the eyes of albino rats.
Hoya - wax vine
By the same criterion, the "grandmother's" Hoya Karnosa, which is also popularly called wax ivy, is undoubtedly referred to as the flower talisman of the coming year.
The dense leaves are "covered with bloom": their upper side seems to be covered with wax. Because of this, the plant got its name. And also the "coating" protects the flower from burns due to direct sunlight
Hoya is an ideal and completely non-whimsical inhabitant of the southern and western windows. Bright light stimulates abundant flowering in bunches. By the way, if you are interested in why the hoya does not bloom, then I advise you to find a sunnier place for it.
"Women's Happiness" - an ageless classic
Signs assure that spathiphyllums bring good luck to their owners in family life at any time) Whether this is true or not, I don't know... But the fact that this is an incredibly beautiful and unpretentious flower is 100% sure. And you? Now, in the year of white, the relevance of the green talisman is increasing significantly!
Even if you already have spathiphyllum, why not expand your collection with new varieties and get "an increase in women's happiness"? I advise you to take a closer look at new plants. For example, a miniature "Chopin" with a subtle smell or its opposite: a huge "Sensation":
What about the metallic sheen?
Until we went deeper into the white color and somehow forgot about the second property of the rat - "metallicity". It is best conveyed by indoor plants with leaves in gray shades, reminiscent of silver.
For example, this is an ornamental leafy begonias with varieties that have the word "Silver" in their names:
I believe that any indoor flower will become a talisman: we ourselves put a special meaning into plants. And thoughts, as they say, tend to materialize! The main thing is to take care of your pet and not deprive you of love: this way he will definitely bring good luck, which I wish all of you ❤
