They are usually divided into two large groups: beautifully flowering and decorative deciduous. Some delight with their bright buds, others with their size, patterned greenery and its diversity. Today we will talk about indoor flowers that bloom (photos and names below) all year round or periodically. It is not possible to list all representatives in one article, because only about violets, for example, one can talk a lot and for a long time. Let's conditionally distribute all the blooming ones into small groups.

Light-loving plants

They all prefer bright lighting. In addition, these are quite unpretentious indoor flowers. The photos and names of some of them are known to everyone.

All of the listed types of indoor plants are by no means shade-loving indoor flowers. Their photos and names are familiar to experienced flower growers, as is the fact that their decorative effect directly depends on proper lighting.

Both flowers and leaves

When the plant blooms, it is magnificent, but doubly good if it also has decorative leaves. If you want to kill two birds with one stone, then pay attention to the following types.

Plants with a dormant period

All of them are distinguished by the splendor of flowering and a pronounced resting time, when the above-ground part dies off and the tuber overwinters in the ground. Caring for them is quite simple, but you need to adapt to the biological rhythm of the plant.

Representatives of amaryllis

This is a fairly large family of predominantly bulbous plants, distributed throughout the globe, except Antarctica, but most abundantly in the tropics and subtropics. In indoor floriculture in Russia, the most popular are four species with large flowers resembling lilies. All of them have a pronounced period of winter dormancy.

1. Clivia (pictured) - native to Africa, reaches a height of up to half a meter. The flowers are collected in a neat umbrella on a high peduncle. A bright and showy plant.
2. Amaryllis. A plant with a large bulb, which almost half sticks out of the ground. With proper care, the peduncle rises 100-120 cm. There are 2-4 large flowers on it, the color ranges from white to dark red.
3. Hippeastrum. This member of the family is often confused with the previous species. The main difference is in the number of peduncles; it can have several of them.
4. Eucharis. The second name is Amazonian lily. With proper care, it blooms twice a year.

Magnificent begonias

This is an indoor flower, the name of which many people know, but have little idea of ​​their impressive diversity. The extensive genus of plants includes about 800 species, and at the present stage more than 2000 varieties have been bred. Shrub forms are characterized by rapid growth, and tuberous forms are characterized by lush and bright flowering. All representatives are characterized by an asymmetrical leaf shape, and they can be plain or with bright veins, spots, etc. The plants are unpretentious and can easily grow in partial shade.

Usambara violets

Their second name is Saintpaulia, a name familiar to everyone. There are many beautiful indoor flowers, but this group stands apart. There are entire associations and, as they say, interest groups - people involved in the special breeding of these plants. They gained their popularity in the 20th century. Thanks to their miniature size, they do not take up much space and bloom all year round. Saintpaulias prefer bright places, but they also tolerate partial shade well. Demanding on soil and air moisture.

Succulents

If you do not have the opportunity and time to care for indoor plants all the time or there is too little space in your apartment, then be sure to pay attention to succulents. The classic representatives are cacti, but more on them a little later. However, besides them, this group includes many different plants from more than 40 families. A characteristic feature is fleshy stems and leaves, rich in moisture. But besides this, some have unusual and bright colors. Here are just three of the most famous and widespread.

Blooming cacti

It is no coincidence that a significant group of succulent plants (5 thousand species) attracts attention. They are mostly compact, content with occasional watering, and spend the winter generally dormant. At the same time, they are spectacular, and some are distinguished by bright flowering. For example, the familiar “Decembrists” and epiphyllums (pictured below), reaching truly gigantic sizes. Or the genus Mammillaria. Small cacti are completely strewn with small flowers of various colors.

And in the photo below you see an indoor flower, the name of which is little known, but its appearance is familiar. It is usually called a cactus, period. Perhaps the most common representative of a large family in our homes is Echinopsis. It is distinguished by its magnificent, but, unfortunately, short flowering.

By purchasing any plant for your home, you take on great responsibility. Caring for indoor flowers should be done systematically.

Be sure to take into account that most ornamental plants are brought from abroad, and the fact that they are adapted to our climate does not provide an exact guarantee that the flower will take root in your home. Only hard work and constant care can tame a foreign plant.

In order to keep the plant in good condition, you only need a few minutes daily. It is necessary to inspect the leaves and stems of the flower, as well as probe its soil. This way you will understand whether you should water the plant immediately or if you don’t need to do it for now.

In such a sensitive matter as gardening, the leaves of the plant play an important role. From them you can find out whether your indoor plant has enough fresh air and proper nutrition, and whether it receives enough water for healthy and full growth.

In addition, important additions to caring for indoor plants are correctly selected room temperature and light.

Office workers simply don’t have time for this, but they want beautiful blooms, especially to purify the air in places where computer equipment and working personnel are concentrated. When leaving for the weekend, the office closes, and there is simply no one to care for the plants.

Today we’ll talk about our favorite and popular indoor plants.

Indoor plants are grown to decorate the interior, refresh, purify indoor air and as an alternative to live pets, because some people care for plants like children.

Without flowers in pots, mini bushes, exotic palm trees, orchids, containers with summer flowering seedlings on balconies, would you agree that our life would be much more boring and grey?

In addition to the fact that flowers at home are beautiful and cute, there is another aspect - status - expensive, original plants in large houses, apartments, cottages - they greatly ennoble, stylize, and increase the cost of the interior.

Among the palms and trees, the most popular are: Yucca, Dieffenbachia, Dracaena, Monstera, Ficus.

Yucca

“Yucca (lat. Yúcca) is a genus of tree-like evergreen plants of the Agave family (Agavaceae). Previously, this genus was included in the subfamily Dracaenoideae of the Liliaceae family, later it began to be included in the Agave family (Agavaceae). According to modern concepts, the Yucca genus belongs to the Asparagaceae family.”

Pictured is Yucca

Yucca aloifolia most often lives in our apartments - this is a decorative and miniature species of these plants. Yucca non-ornamental grows mainly in hot countries - in the southern United States, Mexico and Central America.

Dieffenbachia

“Dieffenbachia (lat. Dieffenbachia) is a genus of evergreen plants of the Araceae family, common in the tropics of South and North America.”

Dieffenbachia in the photo

A plant with large oval leaves, a green stem, can reach a height of 2-3 meters, rarely blooms under artificial conditions. The juice of the leaves is poisonous, causing dermatitis, burns of the throat and skin. You need to use gloves when handling the plant and keep it away from children.

Dracaena

“Dracaena (lat. Dracāena) is a genus of plants of the Asparagus family, trees or succulent shrubs. The number of species, according to various sources, is from forty to one hundred and fifty. Most species are native to Africa, a few to southern Asia, and one to tropical Central America."

Pictured is Dracaena

Like yucca from the asparagus family. Looks like yucca.

Several varieties of dracaena are grown at home. A worthy plant that harmoniously brightens up the interior.

Monstera (Philodendron)

“Monstera (lat. Monstéra) - large tropical plants, vines; genus of the family Araceae."

Pictured is Monstera

In its non-decorative form, it is common in hot countries - in the tropical rainforests of the equatorial belt of America, parts of Brazil, and Mexico.

A liana with huge “holey” leaves is a beautiful plant if taken care of well. There are versions that absorb negative energy and release carbon dioxide at night, so it should not be placed in the bedroom.

Ficus

“Ficus (lat. Ficus) is a genus of plants of the Mulberry family (Moraceae), which forms the monotypic tribe Ficus (Ficeae). Most species are evergreen, some are deciduous.”

There are only about 840 types of ficus, some of them are decorative and can be grown at home.

The most popular domestic species: Ficus rubber, Ficus dwarf, Ficus benjamina.

Each species has many more varieties and varieties.

Ficus benjamina. Usually a small tree with pointed, oblong, glossy leaves. At home, with good care, such a plant grows up to 2-3 meters in height.

In the photo Ficus benjamina

About ficus Benjanimin varieties: “There are many varieties with leaves of different sizes, colors and shapes. The most popular among Russian gardeners: Danielle, Exotica, Monique, Barok, variegated Starlight and Reginald, small-leaved Natasja, Kinky, Wiandi. Dwarf varieties are used for bonsai.”

At auctions (on the Internet for example) you can buy such a flower for 400-1000 rubles.

Ficus rubbery- a tree with large, dense, pointed-oval, smooth, glossy leaves 20-30 cm long and 10-20 wide.

In the photo, Ficus rubbery

“The most famous ornamental varieties:

Ficus elastica ‘Decora’ - with bronze young leaves;

Ficus elastica ‘Doescheri’ - withvariegatedleaves«.

“Ficus Benjamin is the symbol tree of Bangkok, the capital of Thailand.” It’s hard to imagine, but these green trees are relatives of fig trees, growing in warm countries; fig trees, or fig trees, grow berries such as figs. Figs are very sweet and healthy berries; we sell them in dried form. Sometimes decorative ficus trees also bear fruit, somewhat similar to figs.

There is even experience when ficus was grown from the seeds of figs purchased at the market, you just need to be patient and take very good care of it, although according to reviews from those who grew such a miracle, it is very unpretentious, and after sprouting it quickly gains growth. The small fig tree is quite a fashionable house plant.

Among the succulent indoor plants and cacti, the most popular are: Crassula, Aloe, Kalanchoe, Cacti, Sansevieria, Euphorbia.

Crassula (or money tree)

“Crassula (lat. Crássula) is a genus of succulent plants of the Crassula family. Includes between 300 and 350 species, of which more than two hundred are native to South Africa; a significant number of species are distributed in Tropical Africa and Madagascar, several species are found in southern Arabia.

Many species are used in indoor floriculture; indoor plants of this genus with round leaves that look like coins are sometimes called “money trees.”

In the photo there is a fat woman

It grows quite slowly, a compact tree with a dense, delicate trunk and fleshy, oval, coin-shaped leaves. The leaves contain a lot of arsenic, so it is dangerous to eat them; you need to keep the plant away from children.

With good care it can bloom, but it does not bloom very impressively.

Aloe

“Aloe (Latin Áloë) is a genus of succulent plants of the subfamily Asphodelaceae of the Xanthorrhoeaceae family, containing more than 500 species, common in Africa and the Arabian Peninsula.”

In the photo Aloe arboreal

In the decorative version, the most popular species are Aloe tree and Aloe aristata. Aloe is a very useful flower. Its juice heals wounds and helps with a runny nose. Raw materials are widely used in medicine for the manufacture of drugs.

Kalanchoe

“Kalanchoe, also Kalanchoe (lat. Kalanchoë) is a genus of succulent plants of the Crassulaceae family. More than two hundred species are known, growing in tropical and southern Africa, South and Southeast Asia and the tropics of South America.”

Pictured is Kalanchoe

The photo shows flowering species of Kalanchoe

It is also a very healthy flower; the juice has healing properties. On each leaf, “babies” are “born” to collapse: small plants with roots, you just need to plant them in the ground and the finished plant will be ready in a couple of months. An ordinary Kalanchoe is a rather inexpressive plant; all its strength lies in its healing properties. But the blooming varieties are very beautiful, bright, and expressive.

cacti

“Cactaceae, or Cacti (lat. Cactaceae) - a family of perennial flowering plants of the order Cloves.”

Among the cacti there are very interesting and unusual representatives, they bloom very beautifully. There are versions that cacti absorb radiation, thereby protecting people from it; it is recommended to place the plant near the computer monitor and radiation sources.

Spurge

Several types of milkweed are grown at home: for example, plump or plump milkweed Euphorbia obesa, beautiful spurge Euphorbia pulcherrima or poinsettia (Star of Bethlehem), white-veined spurge Euphorbia leuconeura, Mil's spurge Euphorbia mili, triangular spurge Euphorbia trigona, large-horned spurge Euphorbia grandicornis, etc. d.

In the photo, white-veined spurge

White-veined spurge is the most common spurge in Russian homes. It is poisonous; the juice must not come into contact with the skin or mucous membranes, much less fall into the hands of children.

Sansevieria (pike tail)

“Sansevieria (sansevieria, sansevieria, pike tail) is a genus of stemless evergreen perennial herbaceous plants of the Asparagus family. Plants of this genus are found in dry, rocky regions of tropical and subtropical Africa, Madagascar, India, Indonesia and South Florida.”

In the photo there is a “pike tail”

Pike tail, as this plant is popularly called, is a very popular, unpretentious, inexpensive, easily propagated flower. There are several varieties of Sansevieria - spotted, miniature, rose-shaped, long feathers.

The leaves of this plant contain toxic substances - sapopins. Sansevieria is used to make ointments and medicines; for this, the raw materials are processed, which neutralizes the toxicity.

Spathiphyllum

“Spathiphyllum, or Spathiphyllum (lat. Spathiphyllum) is a genus of perennial evergreen plants of the Araceae family, some representatives are popular indoor plants.”

In the photo Spathiphyllum

Inexpensive, pretty flower, without a stem, “a bunch of leaves from the ground.” Blooms with good care. It can be a very voluminous, lush flower, standing on the floor in large pots.

African violet (or Saintpaulia)

“Saintpaulia (lat. Saintpaulia) is a genus of beautifully flowering herbaceous plants of the Gesneriaceae family. One of the most common indoor plants; Also known in floriculture as Uzambara violet. It grows naturally in the mountainous regions of East Africa.”

A favorite house flower for many gardeners of all ages, it is a compact, pretty plant with bright and beautiful flowers. Violet is quite whimsical - from my personal experience and from the experience of friends. However, as comments from lovers of these flowers on the Internet say, caring for these plants is simple, but you need to follow a number of rules:

“And I have about two hundred of them... There are no special problems. I water it at the root, feed it once a month, and illuminate it with lamps in winter.”

“I have a lot of violets, they are not whimsical, the only thing you need to water is in a tray, in the winter once a week, in the summer twice a week, and so that they stand on the sunny side, I have them on the window in the kitchen - the sun is there in the second half days - they bloom 10 months a year.”

“The 2 main conditions are not to overfill and do not place in direct sunlight. I water mine once a week.”

Violet propagates conveniently: a leaf placed in water produces roots.

Gloxinia

“Gloxinia (lat. Gloxinia) is a genus of plants of the Gesneriaceae family. Named after the German or Alsatian botanist and physician Benjamin Peter Gloksin (1765-1794)."

As we see, violet (Saintpaulia and gloxinia) are from the same genus of plants of the Gesneriaceae family. Gloxinia is very similar to violet, has a different leaf shape, larger flowers, sometimes in the shape of bells. It is propagated by tubers and cuttings, seeds.

Anthurium

“Anthurium (lat. Anthúrium) is a genus of evergreen plants of the Araceae family (Araceae).

Perhaps the most numerous genus of its family, modern sources number more than 900, other (older) about 500 species.

The Latin name of the genus is derived from the ancient Greek words meaning “flower” and “tail.”

In the photo Anthurium with blue flowers

Anthurium is similar to Spathiphyllum, but with red flowers - as we see they are one genus of evergreen plants of the Araceae family. An unusual, beautiful plant.

Schlumberger (or Decembrist)

“Schlumbergera (lat. Schlumbergera) is a genus of epiphytic cacti common in the tropical forests of southeastern Brazil, including Rio de Janeiro, at an altitude of 900-2800 m. Introduced to Europe by the collector Allan Cunningham around 1816.”

In the photo the Decembrist is in bloom

We call this flower the Decembrist. Despite the fact that experts do not classify it as a capricious plant, according to the experience of many of my friends, it is quite sensitive to any adverse effects. It got its name because it blooms in winter, in December.

Except for the winter time, compared to other flowers, it is gray and inconspicuous, and during flowering, the whole attitude towards it is revealed: if there was good care, the Decembrist will bloom profusely, with beautiful buds, if the care was poor, one or two pale flowers will come out.

Camellia

“Camellia (lat. Camellia) is an evergreen plant of the Tea family (Theaceae). The most famous species is Camellia sinensis (Camellia sinensis, or Tea, or Tea bush), from the leaves of which raw materials for making tea are obtained. Many types of camellia are used in ornamental gardening."

Indoor camellia is a beautiful plant, especially in bloom. Capricious. Cannot be moved from place to place.

Geranium

It is impossible to imagine an old grandmother’s house in the village without geranium; its smell, which causes either a headache or a slight gloom, is inseparable from the memories of parents and grandmothers for many.

In the photo there is a geranium

Azalea

“Azalea (lat. Azalea) is the collective name of some beautifully flowering plant species from the genus Rhododendron.”

Hello, dear readers! It is often impossible to create ideal conditions for plants in a room. The indoor air is often dry, lack of sunlight, and drafts. All this is a destructive environment for many types of fastidious indoor plants, especially for representatives of exotic flora. Lack of attention, failure to fertilize, irregular watering and other mistakes that we make out of inexperience kill our potted pets. And we look with sadness at the drooping stems of the ruined flower, which has become close to our hearts.

I really want to prolong the feeling of summer, create harmony and an aura of comfort in the house with the help of indoor plants. Don't deny yourself this. Introduce unpretentious indoor plants in your home that can withstand conditions that are unbearable for other plants and require minimal care. So, what are there unpretentious indoor plants photos and their names.

Indoor flowers that don't require a lot of light

Aspidistra

For those who want to make the process of caring for indoor plants easier, Aspidistra is suitable. This decorative foliage plant can grow even in dimly lit rooms and even prefers shade, especially in hot weather. Aspidistra suffers from direct sunlight, which can cause burns on the leaves. Aspidistra is not afraid of temperature changes, so it can grow for a long time on a balcony, terrace, or winter garden.

Initially, Aspidistra was bred for gardens and parks, so its selected smaller copy retained increased endurance to adverse conditions. Aspidistra is a cold-resistant plant that is not afraid of drafts and dry air. All care consists of moderate watering, 2 times a week in summer and spraying the leaves, once a week in winter. But the plant can survive without watering for some time. Replant no more than once every three years. The plant does not require fertilizers, but watch out, if the leaves become dull and begin to grow more slowly, then perhaps there is not enough fertilizing.

Aspidistra is amazingly beautiful in lush color, when its wide, long leaves open in all directions with rays. The British called Aspidistra the “iron plant,” emphasizing its durability and endurance. The plant is ideal for those who are constantly on the move, because infrequent watering and dry soil will not harm the plant in any way.

Antarctic cissus

Another lover of darkened rooms. Another name for Cissus is home grape. Indeed, it is easy to confuse it with grapes, because its branches resemble vines and its shoots have tendrils. Despite its name, Antarctic Cissus comes from the tropics, and unlike its fellow Cissus rhombifolia, it does not tolerate direct sunlight at all. Antarctic cissus is ideal for dimly lit rooms.

Never leave it on the windowsill; the best place for it is inside the room. Cissus is resistant to temperature changes and resistant to pests. Watering is moderate.
