The positive effect of domestic plants on the human body is well studied and beyond doubt. Here are some "useful" examples:
- Closed, unventilated rooms contain a fairly large amount of carbon dioxide. Plants take in CO2 and release oxygen into the air.
- There are many objects around us made of toxic materials. All of them emit substances, to put it mildly, not useful for our body. For residents of megacities, simple ventilation will not help to get rid of odors and toxins, because outside the window is air saturated with exhaust gases and emissions from enterprises that contain fine dust, heavy metals, sulfur and other substances. Many plants are able to absorb substances harmful to humans, and many types of indoor plants release phytoncides into the air - substances that kill microbes.
- Modern apartments are full of devices that emit electromagnetic radiation - computers, refrigerators, microwave ovens, televisions, hair dryers. Its prolonged exposure affects the well-being causing headaches, insomnia and fatigue. Part electromagnetic radiation also absorbed by our green pets.
- AT winter period heating radiators dry out the air in the room, which is bad for the skin and health in general. Houseplants, on the contrary, moisturize it.

2. Violet. The violet is called the flower of peace. It has been noticed that in a house where violets grow and bloom, household members very rarely quarrel.

Flowers that bring trouble

Love your flowers, take care of them, and they will become a faithful and reliable guardian of your home.
The Village turned to professional florists and found out key points, which you need to know so that home plants can last in your apartment for more than a month, cut flowers stand longer, and watercress rises on the windowsill.
What plants are best for keeping at home?
Ilya Shinin:"Most undemanding plants- these are not abundantly flowering, more often decorative and deciduous species. These include monstera, anthurium, scindapsus, syngonium, spathiphyllum, crassula, echeveria, various sedums, different kinds and varieties of ficuses, ferns. A plant bought in a store must be transplanted into suitable soil.
Venera Shakurova:“If you need plants that do not require special care, choose ivy, chlorophytum, tradescantia, aglaonema or cacti. There are more whimsical ficuses, palm trees, flowering azaleas or orchids, but they become a full-fledged component of the interior. Some plants can be kept at home in winter and put on the balcony in summer: roses, hydrangeas, chrysanthemums, cineraria. Recently, conifers have also received indoor status: they can be grown at home quite long time and then transplanted into the garden.
What trends are the most relevant in the field of phytodesign?
Andrey Dvoeglazov:“Trend number one is green walls. A vertical carpet of plants is created by planting them in panels of synthetic felt with prepared pockets of a certain size. They have built-in automated drip irrigation. shape and colors you can set any style and ornament.
Irina Volkova:“No one, of course, says:“ Kalanchoe is in fashion this season. Trends in phytodesign are more about the decor of vases and planters than plant varieties. For example, it is now customary to plant all kinds of trees in giant designer pots. Especially good in them look small tangerine, lemon, olive, myrtle trees. Another popular trend is the florariums in glass. Plants are planted in transparent vases, aquariums and jars so that soil, pebbles and roots can be seen. Supertrend - a variety of unpretentious succulents in a long wooden box. Cacti with multi-colored flowers on tops, planted in one wide pot-dish, look interesting. Returns style „ hall in a sanatorium": this is when one huge plant is placed next to a sofa or armchairs. The second life began suspended structures for plants a la macrame. But the most important thing is to forget about artificial flowers. All designers and florists agree on one thing: a plant that is located where it can be touched and examined must be alive! Better use dried flowers. Lavender, eucalyptus, cotton branches in beautiful bottles, dried lotus boxes will do.”
venera shakurova: “If we talk about topical plants, then today it is, perhaps, ficuses, dracaena and orchids. In terms of formats, mini-greenhouses are now popular, that is, a variety of miniature flowers planted in close proximity to each other. However, such gardens require careful and painstaking care.
How to choose plants depending on the interior?
Irina Volkova:“If you have chambers in the style of Napoleon III, you should think about acquiring plants of exotic forms (ferns, palms, monstera): this is how aristocrats decorated their houses. Plants will look good in modern high-tech interiors simple shapes, with clearly readable leaves, directed upwards, without carelessness and falling (for example, amaryllis and anthurium). Interiors in eco or loft style can be supplemented with assorted plants planted in a large wooden box with forged fittings, or those same florariums. And if suddenly you want to add vanilla to the apartment in the spirit of Miss Umbridge from „ Harry Potter, look out for begonias and camellias that resemble spray roses, as well as campanulas and azaleas that look like miniature lilies. Suitable planters can still be found at IKEA, Crate & Barrel, Zara Home, H&M Home, as well as Wonderwood workshop or florist shops like Azalea.
How to choose plants depending on the purpose of the room?
Andrey Dvoeglazov: " AT small bedrooms with sealed windows, it is not recommended to place a large number of plants, since in the dark they absorb oxygen and release carbon dioxide, which can cause a headache. Plants with fragrant flowers (gardenias, lilies) should also be avoided. It will be enough to have a couple of small planters with ornamental plants on the window or on the bedside table. You can place a pot of lavender next to the bed, the aroma of which soothes and helps you fall asleep. True, lavender does not live very long in an average apartment.
In the kitchen, it is better to keep plants with dense leathery (rather than pubescent) leaves, since it is easier to wash off fatty deposits from them. If you have gas stove, plants that can quickly purify the air of harmful impurities will not interfere - various types of chlorophytum and aglaonem.
There are no significant restrictions in the choice of plants for the living room. Near a large window, ficuses will feel good, in the darker part of the room - monstera and philodendrons. They will fit nicely flowering plants as an alternative to bouquets and cut flower arrangements.
In a bathroom with a window, you can place plants that require high humidity air: various orchids, ferns, saintpaulias, small aroid, arrowroot. In a windowless bathroom, flowers will live only if they are illuminated with phytolamps. Approximately the same situation with the hallway. Shade-tolerant aspidistra, which is not afraid of drafts, will survive in the corridor, but only if it is supplemented with additional lighting.
What kind of pots should you buy?
Ilya Shinin: « The best pots for the maintenance of indoor plants were and remain clay. This material breathes and therefore root system is in optimal conditions.
Venera Shakurova:“It is most convenient to use a planter with a built-in automatic watering system. It can be purchased separately and installed in the type of planter that suits your interior. The shape of the pot can be any, but the size must be monitored. Be guided by the previous capacity: the new one should be three to four centimeters larger in diameter, which will ensure comfortable growth of the root system, and consequently, the growth of the ground part of the plant. Too large a planter will greatly slow down the development of flowers.
Andrey Dvoeglazov:"The most common poisonous home plant, which is able to grow to the ceiling - dieffenbachia. Professional landscapers avoid it.”
Ilya Shinin:“There are plants that contain poisonous potent substances in their juice or individual parts. As a rule, they belong to the families of aroid, kutra, amaryllis and euphorbia.
Venera Shakurova:“Ficuses, hydrangeas, spurge, azalea, monstera, croton and many other plants contain some poisonous substances. If there are small children in the house, they should be prevented from trying to taste the flower, but in general, all these plants are completely safe for both people and animals. Allergies can be caused by flowering plants like rhododendron, cyclamen, geraniums and others with pollen.
Why do potted plants that we buy blooming die quickly after purchase?
Ilya Shinin:“When buying a profusely flowering indoor plant (azalea, cyclamen, campanula, rose and others), it should be borne in mind that this is primarily a forcing crop. That is, in order to make the plant bloom profusely, the manufacturer uses special agricultural practices that cannot be recreated at home. Therefore, the purchase of such a plant should be regarded as an alternative to cut flowers or a bouquet. The only thing that can be done is to timely transplant the plant after flowering from the substrate into the appropriate soil and create the necessary ecological conditions for the species.”
What greens can be grown at home without difficulty?
Andrey Dvoeglazov:“Dill, parsley, mint and lemon balm grow easily and quickly. Seeds require minimal conditions: a bright window sill and timely watering. Thyme and laurel are also suitable, but it is better to buy them already prepared bush.
Ilya Shinin:“At home, watercress will feel good, green onion, lavender, laurel, rosemary, chili pepper. Do not forget about pelargoniums and citrus fruits, which saturate the air with phytoncides, thereby purifying it and having a bactericidal effect.”
What flowers are useful to keep in the workplace?
Ilya Shinin:“Cacti and succulents coexist best with appliances around which dry heated air is formed. Even in such conditions, they need to be watered once a week, not more often. Zamioculcas, a tropical plant with small fleshy leaves, will feel great on the desktop today. True, it does not bloom. I advise you to put a small flower on the table so that it does not dominate the rest of the objects and does not distract from work.
How to choose fresh cut flowers for your home?
Irina Volkova:"AT classic interiors flowerpots with hydrangea caps look great. These flowers are difficult to tolerate cold, heat and lack of water, but their beauty overrides any torment associated with processing. Before installing in the water, be sure to cut the stem by three to four centimeters (it is better to cut it right in the water and in no case with scissors).
In winter, pay attention to anemones and ranunculus: unfortunately, their season is short. All florists love these flowers! It is better to put them in simple transparent vases: the pattern that the stems create in the water is almost more beautiful than the flowers themselves.
Floral analogues of food products will look great in the kitchen: brassica bouquet, hypericum berries, floristic artichokes, blackberries and peppers. An incredible aroma will be settled in the house of freesia, lilies, chamelacium, fresh eucalyptus greens. Callas and amaryllis will add severity.
At home, I often put my favorite and beloved royal protea. If you want something scary, but bewitching, bring Proteus, Leukospermum and Leukodendron into the house.
What can I do to make the flowers last longer?
First of all, remove from the flowers the foliage that may be in the water. Otherwise, it will fall into the water, begin to rot, infect the stem with bacteria and, as a result, the entire flower. In addition, the leaves also like to drink water, so if they are not removed, the flower itself will get significantly less nutrition.
Cut the stem with a knife at least three centimeters and immediately lower the flower into the water (or better, cut the stem right in the water). So there will be less chance that the air will clog the vessels through which water enters the flower.
Plants with a woody stem (Protea, Hydrangea, Pittosporum) are briefly placed in hot water to open up blood vessels.
The more often you change the water and prune the stem a little, the longer your flowers will last.
