4 cool and relatively unpretentious indoor flowers that can compete in beauty with roses
Do you want to decorate your windowsill with chic plants with pompous flowering, and potted roses are too difficult to grow? Then a fiery salute, comrade, a discerning indoor florist! Today on the agenda - 4 wonderful representatives of home flora, combining both relative simplicity and beautiful flowering.
Rosebud pelargonium: familiar geranium in a new way
Rosebud pelargoniums differ from the "geraniums" familiar to Soviet citizens in the form of a double flower. Their petals fold in an intricate way into something that looks like a rose.
It is doubly pleasant that rosebud varieties are not far from the usual in terms of suitable conditions and care. Although for the sake of fairness I will say: some of them can make brains. But, as soon as you find an individual approach to the flower, you will not be overjoyed.
Note to a friend: Do not try to grow a rosebud from seeds. It retains its signature flower shape only when propagated by cuttings.
Potted eustoma: not as difficult as it seems
Aerobatics - being the owner of a short eustoma in a pot. The delight of the guests is guaranteed!
Having decided to grow eustoma for the windowsill, buy a potted variety. Plant several roots in one container, because the plant is beautiful only in a flock. Give the eustoma the lightest window in the house, or better - arrange supplementary lighting in winter.
Don't be tempted to take your pet outside in summer. Once I decided to raise a home - grow in room conditions constantly. Otherwise, it will suffer from the climatic swing every autumn and will take a long time to adapt again. And if you don't like the move at all, he will wave his leaves goodbye.
Elatior begonia: exquisite beauty
Elatiors are good for everyone: both the elegant shape of the flower, reminiscent, again, of a rose, and the ability to hold up to 50-70 pieces on a bush at a time. Comrade! If you know how to water abundantly without flooding, feel free to go for a begonia pot. Fortunately, "Elatiorki" are sold on every corner!
And one more begonia. Deservedly
There is also a light version of the "pink" begonia: ever-flowering, terry. It is called that, and it is:
Easy to cut, grows easily. Loves watering, but forgives mistakes. Despite the abundant flowering, it is as undemanding as possible to feeding.
And let you, comrade, not be afraid of the need to renew the bush once every 1-2 years: ever-flowering begonia rather quickly grows from a neat bush into branches sticking out in all directions.
Do you know why I did not mention another famous "Rose" - terry balsam? I will not wish the enemy: you will be tortured to remove the tick.
Do you like the selection? Press, comrade, "Thumbs up"!
Sincerely yours, Fyodor Tyapkin-Sklyankin, fighting for beauty on every windowsill of the country.
