Popular types

Indoor flowers blooming all year round are not at all uncommon. In fact, there are quite a few such crops, and not all of them need special care. Let's take a look at the most popular and unpretentious flowering crops.

Balsam

Balsam, or touch-me-not, was still loved by our grandmothers. The plant is beautiful and unpretentious, prefers warmth, moisture and abundant light. There are many varieties of culture, each of which blooms in different shades. The plant is hygrophilous, prefers to grow in not too bulky pots.

You can propagate balsam using cuttings or seeds. The peculiarity of caring for a touchy one is that it is necessary to regularly and carefully inspect the plant for damage to the shoots - due to one small injury, it may die.

Begonia

This is an indoor culture in which both flowers and leaves differ in decorativeness. Today, about 1 thousand varieties of begonias are known, which are successfully used for decorative gardening of both interior spaces and loggias, verandas, and gazebos. All of them can differ according to several criteria: be bush or ampelous, bloom all year round or individual seasons.

Hibiscus

This perennial is a distant relative of garden mallow, but in Russia it is known rather as a pot culture. These large flowering indoor plants are grown as an ornamental shrub or small tree.

If the hibiscus is properly cared for and kept in the right conditions, hibiscus is quite capable of growing up to 2.5 m in height, as well as regularly delighting with bright and beautiful large flowers.

Fuchsia

The plant loves intense diffused light and a sufficient amount of moisture. If the weather is hot, do not forget to regularly spray fuchsia with a spray bottle. It blooms with multicolored flowers from early spring to late autumn.

With the onset of winter, fuchsia can be removed to a cool, dark room and watering can be significantly reduced. Winter is a dormant period for the plant, when it gets rid of the foliage and gains strength.

Azalea

In fact, the culture is a dwarf form of rhododendron. The whimsical beauty does not lend itself to every florist: she loves a lot of diffused light, needs protection from drafts, does not like high temperatures.

Stick to moderation in watering and feeding, do not forget about the annual autumn transplants.

Do not place the pot of azaleas near radiators, spray regularly.

Spathiphyllum or flagleaf

This culture is very loved by flower growers for its unpretentiousness and charming flowers, slightly resembling calla lilies. The plant is thermophilic and hygrophilous. Do not place it in direct sunlight, otherwise you risk causing serious burns to the leaves. Reproduction of culture occurs by dividing the bush.

Kalanchoe

It is difficult to argue with the decorative qualities of the Kalanchoe: the plant blooms for a long time and magnificently, and in the short intervals between flowering pleases with its wax leaves. It is easy to grow a culture - Kalanchoe belongs to succulents, therefore it does not require intensive watering, but it loves high temperatures.

Clivia

Clivia is an evergreen with a well-developed rosette of leathery large leaves. When the time comes for flowering, the culture knocks out a large peduncle with an umbrella of bright orange flowers.

In an apartment, a flower can "live" for about 3 weeks. This culture thrives on eastern windowsills, but does not like bright sunlight. Needs moderate watering, does not tolerate transplants.

Pelargonium

Another common name for this plant is geranium. It is characterized by the absence of a pronounced dormant period, therefore pelargonium is able to knock out flowers almost all year round.

It is widely used for landscaping balconies, verandas and loggias, ampelous varieties look great in hanging pots. Loves moderate watering, good lighting and systematic feeding.

Ruellia

This is an unpretentious, fast-growing crop that multiplies easily and does not require special care. The plant has drooping stems that root easily when in contact with the soil.

Ruella is rarely found on the free market: the plant grows quickly, therefore, from a commercial point of view, it has a low attractiveness.

The flowering intensity directly depends on the lighting - the better it is, the longer the plant will bloom.

Anthurium

Anthurium in recent years has become increasingly popular. The plant is distinguished by heart-shaped dense glossy leaves, bright white-pink flowers with yellow cobs. With a sufficient level of illumination, anthurium can delight with its flowering almost all year round, sometimes when pollinated, fruits are formed - bright yellow berries.
