Flowering and deciduous plants on one windowsill

Composition of ornamental-deciduous and ornamental-flowering plants

Many lovers of indoor flowers have different plants, both decorative-flowering and decorative-deciduous: they choose flowers so that there are many greenery and flowers on the windowsill or table by the window. An experienced florist has knowledge of the requirements of plants for temperature, soil, humidity and light, tries to place together only flowers similar in need in order to create a beautiful composition or group, and at the same time facilitate their care.

  • Place plants closer to the window or glass on the window that need more light. Make sure that the group of plants is illuminated from the window, or with lamps evenly on all sides.
  • If you have plants that need to be sprayed regularly and plants that don't like water getting on the leaves, then don't put them together.
    • When
  • creating a composition from different plants, you need to take into account the fact that there are plants that do not like to come into contact with anything and do not like when they are rearranged, it is better to put such plants separately. If you plant in one container, pot or container, consider the growth rate and acidity needs of the soil. If some plants in the composition grow faster, others slower, then soon it will lose decorativeness .
  • It should also be noted that ornamental-deciduous plants, as a rule, are green and covered with leaves all year round, among ornamental-flowering plants there are those that for the rest period are deprived of flowers and leaves, and need completely different care. However, you can choose plants in such a way that first you will have summer-flowering plants blooming, and then, when they have a dormant period, winter-flowering plants will take their place.

Unpretentious houseplants

Among the unpretentious houseplants, there are also decorative-deciduous and decorative-flowering, so those who want to make it easier for themselves to grow houseplants or flowers have a lot to choose from. Some plants, such as aspidistra or Antarctic cissus, grow even in poorly lit rooms. Other plants, such as sansevieria or cacti and other succulents in all their diversity of species, tolerate prolonged drying of the earthen coma.

Clivia and sparmania are unpretentious in cultivation culture, which, even without special care and in relatively tolerable conditions, can "live" for a very long time and even bloom every year. A lazy grower can also be advised to have a beautiful-flowering impatience, or shortness of touch, primroses, or geranium, euphorbia, cyperus, bilbergia and white feathers.

Such an unassuming and therefore, probably, common tradescantia is ideal for growing in hanging baskets and planters. Rhombus cissus, Antarctic cissus and climbing philodendron, as well as chlorophytum are also suitable for this.

Some tree-like houseplants are also easy and unpretentious to grow - these are monstera, ficus Benjamin and heder (ivy).

It should be remembered that, without being lazy, and creating the best conditions for keeping, even for an unpretentious plant, you can get such a beautiful specimen that you can only envy. Well, those who doubt that they have a so-called "light hand," who are simply lazy or forgetful, should breed only the most unpretentious plants that we have already mentioned.

Selection of flowers and plants

By the way

When growing plants, the orientation of windows to the cardinal points probably plays the most important role, since all plants have a different need for lighting, and it is much more difficult to regulate than the water and temperature regime. Therefore, it is necessary to select plants in a group with similar needs in the conditions of detention.

Placing plants in a group or composition requires a little more attention to itself. When pests and diseases appear on a single plant, they are much easier to notice than on plants standing in a group. In addition, if one of the plants in the composition gets sick, or a pest settles on it, then the infection spreads almost instantly to all plants if they are close. Therefore, when keeping plants in a group, it is better to prevent negative phenomena by carrying out preventive measures once a quarter (inspecting all plants, removing damaged, not beautiful or suspicious leaves, wilted flowers, loosening the soil in pots, spraying with insecticide and fungicide, etc.)

Хлорофитум кудрявыйOne of the most unpretentious and common plants is chlorophytum. Nowadays, you can often sell a charming variety of curly chlorophytum.

Undemanding plants are not always unambiguous. Sometimes plants are very light-demanding and susceptible to humidity, or, like cacti, will suffer forgetfulness in watering, but not all of them will grow in low light. In addition, some "breeders" of indoor plants bring the concept of "unpretentiousness" to the point of absurdity, without watering flowers for weeks or even months, trying to grow them in the darkest corner of the room.
