Shade-loving indoor plants: unpretentious, flowering, hanging Indoor plants that bloom all year round: unpretentious varieties home flowers Long-flowering and beautiful indoor plants in pots grown at home What types of decorative foliage, flowering and perennial indoor plants are there?
The Village turned to professional florists and found out key points, which you need to know so that house plants can last more than a month in your apartment, cut flowers last longer, and watercress grows on the windowsill.
What plants are best for keeping at home?
Ilya Shinin:"The most unpretentious plants- these are not profusely flowering, more often decorative deciduous species. These include monstera, anthurium, scindapsus, syngonium, spathiphyllum, crassula, echeveria, various sedums, different kinds and varieties of ficus, ferns. A plant bought in a store must be replanted in suitable soil.”
Venera Shakurova:“If you need plants that do not require special care, choose ivy, chlorophytum, tradescantia, aglaonema or cacti. There are more whimsical ficuses, palm trees, blooming azaleas or orchids, but they become a full-fledged component of the interior. Some plants can be kept at home in winter and placed on the balcony in summer: roses, hydrangeas, chrysanthemums, cineraria. Recently, conifers have also received the status of indoor plants: they can be grown at home quite long time, and then transplant it into the garden.”
What trends are most relevant in the field of phytodesign?
Andrey Dvoeglazov:"The number one trend is green walls. A vertical carpet of plants is created by planting them in panels of synthetic felt with prepared pockets of a certain size. They have built-in automated drip irrigation. Shape and color scheme You can set any style and ornament.”
Irina Volkova:“Nobody, of course, says: “Kalanchoe is in fashion this season.” Trends in phytodesign relate more to the decor of vases and flowerpots than to plant varieties. For example, it is now common to plant all kinds of trees in giant designer pots. Small tangerine, lemon, olive, myrtle trees. Another popular trend is glass florariums. Plants are planted in transparent vases, aquariums and jars so that the soil, pebbles and roots are visible. Super trend - a variety of unpretentious succulents in a long wooden box. Cacti with multi-colored flowers on the tops of their heads, planted in one wide pot-dish, look interesting. Style returns “hall in a sanatorium”: this is when one huge plant is placed next to the sofa or armchairs. The second life began at suspended structures for plants a la macrame. But the most important thing is to forget about artificial flowers. All designers and florists agree on one thing: a plant that is located where it can be touched and examined must be alive! Better use dried flowers. Lavender, eucalyptus, cotton branches in beautiful bottles, and dried lotus boxes are suitable.”
Venera Shakurova: “If we talk about current plants, then today these are, perhaps, ficuses, dracaenas and orchids. As for formats, mini-greenhouses are now popular, that is, a variety of miniature flowers planted in close proximity to each other. However, such gardens require careful and painstaking care.”
How to choose plants depending on the interior?
Irina Volkova:“If you have rooms in the style of Napoleon III, you should think about purchasing plants of exotic forms (ferns, palms, monsteras): this is how aristocrats decorated their houses. Plants will look good in modern high-tech interiors simple shapes, with clearly legible leaves, directed upward, without sloppiness or drooping (for example, amaryllis and anthurium). Interiors in eco or loft style can be complemented by an assortment of plants planted in large wooden box with forged fittings, or those same florariums. And if suddenly you want to add vanilla to the apartment in the spirit of Miss Umbridge from " Harry Potter“, pay attention to the begonias and camellias, reminiscent spray roses, as well as campanulas and azaleas, similar to miniature lilies. A suitable pot can still be found in IKEA, Crate & Barrel, Zara Home, H&M Home, as well as in the Wonderwood workshop or at florist centers such as the Azalea chain.”
How to select plants depending on the purpose of the room?
Andrey Dvoeglazov: “ IN small bedrooms It is not recommended to place with sealed windows a large number of plants, since in the dark they absorb oxygen and release carbon dioxide, which can cause headaches. Plants with fragrant flowers (gardenias, lilies) should also be avoided. A couple of small pots with decorative leafy plants on a window or on a nightstand will be enough. You can place a pot of lavender next to your bed, the aroma of which will calm you and help you fall asleep. True, lavender does not live very long in the average apartment.
In the kitchen, it is better to keep plants with dense, leathery (rather than pubescent) leaves, as it is easier to wash off the fat deposits from them. If you have gas stove, plants that can quickly purify the air from harmful impurities - various types of chlorophytum and aglaonema - will not interfere.
There are no significant restrictions in choosing plants for the living room. Near large window Ficuses will feel good, in the darker part of the room - monstera and philodendrons. Will fit beautifully flowering plants as an alternative to bouquets and cut flower arrangements.
In a bathroom with a window you can place plants that require high air humidity: various orchids, ferns, Saintpaulias, small aroids, arrowroots. In a bathroom without windows, flowers will only live if they are illuminated with phytolamps. About the same situation with the hallway. The shade-tolerant aspidistra, which is not afraid of drafts, will survive in the corridor, but only if it is provided with additional lighting.”
Which pots should you buy?
Ilya Shinin: « The best pots for keeping indoor plants there were and still are clay ones. This material breathes, and therefore root system is in optimal conditions».
Venera Shakurova:“It’s most convenient to use pots with a built-in automatic watering system. It can be purchased separately and installed in the type of flowerpot that suits your interior. The shape of the pot can be any, but you need to pay attention to the size. Be guided by the previous container: the new one should be three to four centimeters larger in diameter, which will ensure comfortable height root system, and consequently the growth of the above-ground part of the plant. Too much large flowerpot will greatly slow down the development of flowers.”
Andrey Dvoeglazov:"The most common poisonous home plant, which can grow to the ceiling - Dieffenbachia. Professional landscapers avoid it.”
Ilya Shinin:“There are plants that contain in their juice or separate parts poisonous potent substances. As a rule, they belong to the families Aroidaceae, Cutraaceae, Amaryllis and Euphorbiaceae.”
Venera Shakurova:“Ficus, hydrangea, spurge, azalea, monstera, croton and many other plants contain some toxic substances. If there are small children in the house, they should be protected from trying the flower, but in general all these plants are completely safe for both people and animals. Allergies can be caused by flowering plants such as rhododendron, cyclamen, pelargonium and others with pollen.”
Why do potted plants that we buy in bloom quickly die after purchase?
Ilya Shinin:“When buying a profusely flowering indoor plant (azalea, cyclamen, campanula, rose and others), you should keep in mind that this is primarily a forcing crop. That is, in order to make the plant bloom profusely, the manufacturer uses special agrotechnical techniques that cannot be recreated at home. Therefore, the purchase of such a plant should be regarded as an alternative to cut flowers or a bouquet. The only thing that can be done is to promptly transplant the plant after flowering from the substrate into the appropriate soil and create necessary for the species environmental conditions."
What greens can you grow at home without difficulty?
Andrey Dvoeglazov:“Dill, parsley, mint and lemon balm grow easily and quickly. Seeds require minimal conditions: a bright windowsill and timely watering. Thyme and laurel are also suitable, but it is better to buy them as a ready-made bush.”
Ilya Shinin:“At home, watercress will feel good, green onions, lavender, laurel, rosemary, chili pepper. Don’t forget about pelargoniums and citrus fruits, which saturate the air with phytoncides, thereby purifying it and having a bactericidal effect.”
What flowers are useful to keep in your workplace?
Ilya Shinin:“Cacti and succulents get along best with equipment around which dry heated air is formed. Even in such conditions, they need to be watered once a week, not more often. Zamioculcas, which is fashionable today, will feel great on the desktop, tropical plant with small fleshy leaves. True, it does not bloom. I advise you to put it on the table small flower so that it does not dominate other items and does not distract from work.”
How to choose fresh cut flowers for your home?
Irina Volkova:"IN classic interiors Flowerpots with hydrangea caps look great. These flowers can hardly tolerate cold, heat and lack of water, but their beauty outweighs any pain associated with processing. Before installing it in water, be sure to cut the stem by three to four centimeters (it is better to cut it directly in the water and in no case with scissors).
In winter, pay attention to anemones and ranunculus: unfortunately, their season is short. All florists adore these flowers! It is better to place them in simple transparent vases: the pattern that the stems create in the water is almost more beautiful than the flowers themselves.
Floral analogues will look great in the kitchen food products: brassica bouquet, hypericum berries, florist artichokes, blackberries and peppers. Freesia, lilies, chamelacium, and fresh eucalyptus will add an incredible aroma to your home. Callas and amaryllis will add austerity.
In my home I often place my beloved and beloved king protea. If you want something scary but fascinating, bring Protea, Leucospermum and Leucodendron into your home.”
What can I do to make flowers last longer?
First of all, remove any foliage from the flowers that may be in the water. Otherwise, it will get into the water, begin to rot, and infect the stem and, as a result, the entire flower with bacteria. In addition, the leaves also like to drink water, so if they are not removed, the flower itself will receive significantly less nutrition.
Cut the stem at least three centimeters with a knife and immediately lower the flower into the water (or better yet, cut the stem directly in the water). This way there will be less chance that the air will clog the vessels through which water gets to the flower.
Plants with a woody stem (protea, hydrangea, pittosporum) are briefly placed in hot water to uncork the vessels.
The more often you change the water and trim the stem a little, the longer your flowers will last.
