Eco-friendly house: There are quite a lot of such unpretentious indoor plants in the care, it is easy to choose an ampelous or beautifully flowering, large or miniature ...

Plants for lazy people

Beautiful, well-groomed green plants decorate the house, saturate the air with phytoncides, absorb harmful substances and create an atmosphere of comfort. But in order for the potted flowers bought in the store to grow and develop safely in your apartment, you need to take care of them.

Some naughty green creatures need to be sprayed with mist 3-4 times a day, others need shading from the bright sun at noon and backlighting in the evening. People who work outside the home, often go on vacation or on business trips, cannot provide normal care for such plants.

So what, do without greenery at all? No, you just need to choose the most unpretentious indoor plants for landscaping your home. Those that can withstand 1-2 weeks without watering, grow well in the dry air of a heated apartment, feel fine both in the heat and in the cold draft, do not require frequent top dressing and transplants.

1. It is probably difficult to find a more unpretentious houseplant than sansevieria (mother-in-law's tongue, pike tail) . It grows well both on the south window and in a semi-dark corner, but on sunny window the leaves will be brighter.

You can transplant it every few years, when it does not fit in a pot. It is not necessary to feed.

Sansevieria does not suffer from the dry air of the apartment in winter, it is not necessary to spray it. It is rarely necessary to water - a supply of moisture is retained in dense leathery leaves, in winter it can not be watered at all - growth will stop, until spring it will rest.

Cold drafts of sansevieria are not terrible, it often decorates cold foyers and halls.

2. Another extremely durable ampelous plant - hoya carnosa or "wax ivy". It grows well on the south window, it will not disappear in the north room either. Moisture accumulates in its thick waxy leaves, it can easily survive several months without watering.

If you managed to completely dry the hoya and she lost all the leaves and roots, cut off the stalk from the stem and put it in water - in a couple of weeks the plant will give roots again.

Wax ivy is transplanted very rarely, when there is absolutely no space in the pot. You can also do without top dressing. And when good conditions content unpretentious hoya will delight with abundant and lush flowering.

3. Houseplant is very popular crassula oval , better known as fat woman or " Money Tree" . It rarely needs to be watered - the fleshy leaves retain a lot of moisture. The dry air of the apartment does not harm the fat woman. She practically does not need top dressing and transplantation.

The money tree can grow on the south window and on the north. It can be kept in a cool room at temperatures up to 10 degrees in winter.

You only need to follow two simple rules money tree care a small pot so that the soil has time to dry out between waterings, and in land mixture add more sand, perlite or vermiculite.

It propagates easily - just stick a leaf in the ground or in water.

4. Graceful green or white-green narrow leaves chlorophytum appear soft and brittle. But this plant is one of the most undemanding and easy to care for. Its underground part has thickenings that accumulate water and nutrients.

Chlorophytum is not afraid of drought and excess moisture, heat and cold drafts, it can grow in the sun and in the shade. It can live in the same pot for many years (it is better, of course, to transplant on time, but it will not disappear even without transplanting and top dressing).

Chlorophytum is considered one of the best absorbers harmful substances from the air. Perhaps that is why the plant is able to survive without proper care, because it can receive and process the substances it needs from the air.

5. Aspidistra also does not require special care. This plant in England is called "cast iron plant" for its ability to withstand heat and cold, lack of light and moisture. Its other name is "friendly family" because of the large number of leaves on long petioles growing from a small pot.

This plant is perfect for:

  • for northern rooms
  • for decorating rooms with a lack of daylight,
  • for landscaping offices with artificial lighting.

Aspidistra grows normally in dry and humid air, is not afraid of drafts or heat, does not suffer from either excess moisture or its lack. It rarely needs to be transplanted, when the rhizome begins to occupy almost the entire pot.

6. Exotic does not need special care either. Zamioculcas. It tolerates poor lighting and interruptions in watering the soil. Zamiakulkas does not suffer from the bright sun, does not require frequent transplants and top dressing, grows well in a small pot.

If not watered for a long time, it will shed all the leaf blades, lose its decorative effect, but new complex leaves will quickly grow from the tuber (thickened stem under the soil surface) after watering.

The only requirement- the soil should not be too nutritious and dense. It is better to mix ready-made soil for violets or cacti with sand.

7. Ideal plant for people who often leave their home for 1-2 weeks - nolina (bokarneya) . This desert dweller with a bottle-shaped trunk looks original in any interior, it requires very little care and attention. And for the formation of a caudex (thickening on the trunk), it needs to be watered rarely, but plentifully, so that it is saturated with water for the period of "drought".

The only requirement- plant a bokarney correctly: the soil should be loose, low-nutrient, the pot is small. After good watering all excess moisture should flow out of the pot. In wet soil, this plant will rot.

8. Scindapsus golden - unpretentious ampelous plant with heart-shaped or rounded leaves of bright green color with yellowish-white spots. The plant can reach one and a half meters in length, it is used for vertical gardening.

Scindapsus is quite shade-tolerant, can grow in the back of the room, where the sun only occasionally hits, or even completely dispense with artificial lighting. True, the leaves in the shade lose light spots, become completely green.

Plant care is minimal. Scindapsus effectively cleans the air of harmful substances. Feels very good in the kitchen, where constant changes in temperature and humidity. Its dense leaves and stems retain moisture well. It grows quickly, so it is advisable to fertilize periodically.

9. Some types kalanchoe have long been known as a medicinal houseplant that does not require any care. IN Lately many beautifully flowering Kalanchoe hybrids appeared.

You can rarely water the plant, its dense succulent leaves and stems contain a lot of moisture. Grows well on windows of any orientation.

Kalanchoe - shade-tolerant flower, tolerates sudden changes in temperature without problems, blooms for a long time. It grows quite slowly, does not need frequent transplants.

10. Spathiphyllum - unpretentious, flowering throughout the year plant. In summer it grows well on the western, eastern and northern windows, in winter it is better to rearrange it to the south.

The lack of moisture tolerates well. With strong overdrying, the leaves droop, but after watering they come to life again. Does not require frequent changes. Fertilizers are useful, but without them it will not be lost.

For spathiphyllum, it is important to choose the right place - he does not like the cold. Put it away from drafts and windows that open in winter to ventilate, and there will be no problems with the plant.

There are quite a few such unpretentious indoor plants in the care, it is easy to choose an ampelous or beautifully flowering, large or miniature. Minimal care does not mean at all that a flower can be left for six months in a corner without watering. Each indoor plant requires attention, responds to care with new shoots, the appearance of buds.

Gelksina
Dracaena marginata

Philodendron heart-shaped neoregelia

Plants that can tolerate a lack of light require different conditions. Some flowers do well in permanent shade - for example, in the corner of a room, on closets or in corridors that do not have windows. Such plants include species with dense dark leaves - aspidistra, gelksina, scindaptus (forms with plain leaves), sansevieria, aglaonema, climbing philodendron. Some of these colors - for example, gelksina - feel better when periodically moved to a more lit place.

Some types of dracaena and ivy, cordilina, fatsheder, tolmia, fatsia, dwarf ficus, monstera, dieffenbachia, ficus and ferns grow well in partial shade. These plants can be placed in the center of rooms or in places where the flowers will be provided with artificial lighting.

Shade-tolerant plants do not tolerate direct sunlight - it can burn the leaves and kill the flower. Bright rays should be shaded with curtains or blinds. They do not like shade-loving flowers and excess moisture; in a lack of lighting, the leaves can amaze gray rot and fungus.

The best option for such plants is moderate watering with soft water and removal from heating devices. Too high temperatures are undesirable. The room where the flowers are placed should be ventilated more often, avoiding frosty air directly on the plants.

Variegated forms shade-tolerant plants can grow with a lack of light, but in the shade their leaves will darken and lose their pattern.

Choosing plants

Many believe that if you let the vines trail along the wall of the house, dampness, on the contrary, will “crawl” into the house, because climbing plants shade the wall and prevent it from drying out. But moisture-loving vines, especially if they are planted near a shaded facade, reduce the level of moisture in the soil, and, therefore, in the foundation and walls of the house.

Important circumstance

The material of the walls, the time and quality of construction must be taken into account before “launching” new residents on its wall. Wooden, frame, plastered and even brick houses, when landscaping walls, must have special designs, serving as a support for plants, but not adjacent to the walls. climbing vines have aerial roots, climbers have tenacious antennae. Both will cause significant damage to buildings, damaging not only wood and plaster, but also brick, and eventually even stone.

Therefore, if you want to green the wall of the house with climbing plants, create an independent support for the future vertical garden.

The following structures can be used for landscaping walls:
- wooden or metal gratings;
various shapes metal frames;
- arched structures made of metal or heavy-duty plastic;
- wire trellises.

If you make or purchase a frame, plant dense leafy vines along it, over time you will get a picturesque color panel, which in an amazing way can transform the wall of your building.
