Indoor - an encyclopedia of flowers. The most beautiful indoor plants

For decoration and fresh air in a room, office, foyer or other room, large plants are often used that look like a shrub or tree. To place such plants, a free space is required in which the flower will feel comfortable. The conditions for the beneficial growth and flowering of a plant consist in proper care, that is, providing lighting, watering, pruning - if necessary, and protection from pests. Large indoor plants can be grown on their own or purchased from flower nurseries. When choosing such a flower, it is necessary to analyze the possibility of home conditions. A meter-long or larger bush is unlikely to fit on a window, so you need to decide on the placement of a container with a flower. The most optimal place is considered to be the corner of the room, which is somewhat illuminated by daylight, and also protects the plant from drafts and mechanical damage. Sometimes, a favorable place for a large ornamental plant will be near the bed or upholstered corner, as well as in the interior of the kitchen. It all depends on the type of plant and its living conditions. For rooms with high ceilings, large indoor plants are suitable, which reach more than two meters in height and are not afraid of pruning. Some types of house flowers can adapt well to indoor conditions throughout the year, and in summer period, continue the life cycle on the outdoor terrace.

The plant can bloom as well as bear fruit like lemon or tangerine. It can be capricious or unpretentious in care, with an individual growth rate, that is, reach the required height in a short period or for many years.

Growing the desired plant at home takes a lot of time and effort. Some flowers need to be artificially pollinated, which is not possible for all amateurs. Also, one cannot but take into account the toxicity property of some plants, as they can cause an allergic reaction or have a negative reaction to the health of people living in the house.
