An exciting activity is growing indoor plants. But you can create a real green oasis from them in your apartment only if you competently take care of them, and for this you need to know the name of home flowers.
The value of indoor flowers
In almost any modern apartment, you can see one or more plants that delight your eyes with a riot of greenery or bright colors of flowers. It has long been proven that indoor plants perform not only a decorative function.
They are able to influence the creation of a favorable indoor climate. This happens due to the fact that green plants emit oxygen, while absorbing carbon dioxide. In the apartment, where there are many indoor flowers, it is breathing very easily, improving well-being and working capacity. In addition, plant leaves evaporate moisture, which moistens the air in the room, which is very important, especially in winter, during the heating season. It does not matter what the name of the plant. Home flowers are never too many. Of course, they all require care. But this also has a positive effect on health. It is noticed that when caring for domestic plants in humans, a decrease in stress tension is observed. The green color of plants has a relaxing, calming effect, and the bright multi-colored colors of flowering species raise the mood and inspire optimism.
Flowering houseplants
You should carefully familiarize yourself with all the necessary information, deciding to plant these home flowers - photos and names, care and planting rules, etc. Growing them does not present any special difficulties. The beauty of such flowers is more constant than that of a cut bouquet. It is amazing to see how an arrow appears from an ordinary green bush, turning gradually into a beautiful bud.
One of these plants is azalea.
This is a small bush that during flowering is completely covered with small flowers resembling roses. They have a surprisingly pleasant smell and can be of very different colors - white, yellow, pink or cream, depending on the variety. The most violent flowering of azaleas is observed in winter, on the eve of the New Year, so it is often used as a holiday gift.
Crocuses - this is the name of home flowers familiar to many, but they are more commonly known as saffron. They can often be found on the flowerbed, and on the windowsill in a flower pot.
Unpretentious pelargonium blooms very beautifully. But besides aesthetic pleasure, it carries a lot of positive effects on the human body. The essential oils secreted by the leaves of this plant can relieve headaches. Pelargonium produces special bactericidal substances that are harmful to microbes. These are the most common home flowering flowers. The name "geranium" is used in relation to the winter-hardy species of this plant.
Decorative flowers
Not all home plants have beautiful vibrant colors. There are many that are magnificent thanks to their bright decorative leaves.
One of these plants is coleus, or nettle.
Its leaves, resembling a nettle in shape, have a surprisingly beautiful color. There are plants with lilac, red, green leaves, etc. This is a completely unpretentious flower, which attracts lovers of indoor plants.
Poinsettia (Christmas star) - the name of home flowers, also related to decorative. This is a small bush with leaves of different colors: the upper ones have a bright red color, and the lower ones are traditional green.
There is another type of houseplants - succulents. These include all types of cacti and aloe. These home indoor flowers, whose names are familiar to everyone, contain a large amount of moisture in their leaves and stems. This allows them to survive in the hot climatic conditions of the countries where they come from. Such hardy flowers will be a suitable option for beginner gardeners.
Care Tips
Any houseplants are living, which means they require care and attention. In order to enjoy beautiful plants and enjoy them, you need to properly care for each flower. Usually in catalogs there is a brief information about what are home flowers (photos and names). Caring for each species has some features. But there are general rules to follow.
The most important thing for plants is timely watering. At the same time, both a lack of moisture and its excess are harmful. Water the flowers with settled water. Periodically, home plants require pruning and transplanting. Light and heat are two more factors without which a plant cannot develop fully. If possible, it is best to put flower pots in the spring on the balcony, where there is enough air and light, or in the garden.
If you comply with all the conditions for growing this or that domestic flower, then any, even the smallest, plant will become a real "green friend."
