The most beautiful, in my humble opinion, bulbous flowers for the home, and a few words about caring for them
Do you want to decorate your windows with the special beauty of bulbous plants? Then a fiery fireworks, comrade indoor florist! Today on the agenda - 5 beautiful bulbous flowers for the home, which will leave few people indifferent. Me - definitely not.
For those who like more: hippeastrum
It is hippeastrum, and not amaryllis at all, that is the name of a plant with huge and bright gramophones. Which will definitely be visible on your window from the street.
An epic moment in the life of a room hippeastrum is retirement. For inexplicable reasons, citizens stubbornly ignore this fact, referring to their neighbors who "do not send to rest, but see the bloom all the time."
If with old varieties like "Dudka Satir" this disregard for rest can still work, then with luxurious newfangled varieties it is unlikely. But both in the first and in the second case, it is the retirement that is the guarantor of regular flowering.
Hippeastrum is generally such a plant that blooms for 2 weeks, and the rest of the time it irritates with huge, sweeping leaves, capturing the entire window sill.
I always planted them for the summer in the ground, in the soil greasy with compost. There they bloomed again. Therefore, I think, in good conditions, they will bloom again at home. In the fall, he ripped it out, dried it, cut off the roots and onto a cool veranda.
Hippeastrum's twin sister - bright Valotta
If you can choose colors among the hippastrum, then Valotta offers only one option - scarlet. And always winning. And what her stamens with golden tips!
Valotta is a very rare flower. I saw her live only at my friend Venik's. She blooms with him 2-3 times a year, and between each episode of the plant's bounty, the owner arranges for them light version of the dormant period: almost stops watering and, if the weather permits, puts on a cool loggia.
For those who love more and more unusual
Write it down, comrade: hymenokallis. If you get his onion, then you will be able to surprise all the guests.
Blooms - exotic. The care is the same as hippeastrum. But hymenokallis also comes with a pleasant scent. Go for it! Looked at Avito, options in bulk.
I advise you to buy already grown bulbs or plants. Youngsters can be grown to flowering size for several years.
For those who want a friendly flower
Zephyranthes, who is popularly nicknamed "Upstart", is very amusing. It grows - quickly, reproduces - like a rabbit, blooms - a must. The color of the flowers is white and pink. Choose any!
- Put it in a cool room for a while. There he will rest and be more accommodating to flowering.
- No coolness? No problem. In June, just stop watering until all the leaves are dry. And then - pour plenty of warm water. Flowers pop up literally in a week.
For the very patient
Eucharis. Amazon lily, indoor daffodil. It's all about the perfect home plant. Which can get maddened by the refusal of their flower duties.
But if you find an approach to eucharis or he just likes you (Pss! He loves to bloom on loggias, where there is a difference between day and night temperatures), then you will become the owner of a plant of exceptional, special beauty without analogues.
The salt is that eucharis rarely blooms until it fills the pot with bulbs. This process can take a long time. And what exactly the capricious woman does not like - you can guess on the cards.
Do you like the selection? Press, comrade, "Thumbs up"!
Sincerely yours, Fyodor Tyapkin-Sklyankin, who got rid of eucharis with a clear conscience.
