Incredibly beautiful and easy to care indoor plants that live in my house. I explain why they were chosen
As far as I can remember, there have always been indoor flowers in our house. I love them very much for the fact that they delight with their flowering on cloudy days, give warmth and comfort.
Phalaenopsis orchids - perennial herbaceous well and wildly flowering houseplants.
Orchids have a dormant period, approximately from November to March. That is, the aboveground part dies off for the winter. At this time, the flowerpots must be placed in a cool room with a temperature of 7-12 degrees, slightly moistening them no more than once a month.
In the spring, when the plants begin to sprout, they need to be placed in a well-lit place (but not direct sun) in a warm room, it is enough to moisturize. In summer, they delight with long, bright and very abundant flowering. These are incredibly beautiful flowers.
I want to show off one of my favorite colors - room geranium .
This flower is just perfect for growing on the balcony! It is bright, colorful, not a day without a flower, and thanks to its super-resistance to diseases and pests, it gives odds to fragile balsam and petunias.
Geranium also grows well in flower beds. It is easiest to grow from seeds, but you need to sow as early as possible, since it blooms 2 months after germination.
By the way, each individual flower blooms for 7 days.
The color intensity of geraniums is very dependent on lighting and temperature conditions, and these changes are pleasant surprise to flower growers, it is always interesting to observe these plants.
Tradescantia Zebrina or striped.
In summer, when it's hot, I very much water Tradescantia, these plants are still "waterlogs". But when the cold begins, then properly waterlogging can provoke fusarium. But if you grow flowers as annuals, then this is not a problem.
Flower seedlings are conventionally divided into two groups: with undisturbed and disturbed root systems. To obtain an undisturbed root system, I use a variety of containers (pots, cassettes, cups, eggshells, etc.). This method is relatively expensive and requires a lot of space.
For some indoor flowers I use a cheap method of obtaining seedlings with varying degrees of disturbance, the so-called "torn" seedlings, when grown in boxes, in ground greenhouses, greenhouses Slight damage to the roots of young plants does not harm and the so-called "torn" seedlings are good takes root.
