palmae flower
Palm family
Palm trees are very beautiful plants, but mature specimens are extremely expensive. Still, it makes sense to invest in them. For a “bottle garden” or terrarium, there is nothing better than Neanta, and the long-popular Howea is an ideal single plant due to its unpretentiousness. Both of these palm trees are easy to care for indoors, but they should not be considered lovers of tropical sun and dry desert air - in fact, they require cool conditions in winter, wet air in summer and shading from direct sun. Neanta already blooms at a young age with small spherical flowers. Palm trees vary greatly in leaf size and shape, but they have common feature: The only point of growth for all palm trees is at the top of the stem, and if you cut the stem, the palm will die.
- Temperature: Moderate - in winter not lower than 12C. For Neanta and Howea, the night temperature in winter should not exceed 16C.
- Lighting: Some tender palms require full sun, but the most common ones should be kept in partial shade. Howea and neanta are undemanding to light and grow well in light shade.
- Watering: First of all, good drainage is necessary - palm trees do not tolerate stagnation of water at the roots. In winter, keep the soil slightly moist. In spring and summer, water more abundantly.
- Air humidity: When kept in a heated room, the leaves are sprayed. Adult leaves are sometimes wiped with a sponge. Drafts should be avoided.
- Transfer: Replant only when absolutely necessary, as palm trees do not like to be disturbed. When replanting, the soil around the earthen ball is crushed.
- Reproduction: By seeds, a temperature of at least 25C is required, so growing a palm tree from a seed is not easy.
Pandanus flower
Family Pandanaceae
The narrow leaves with spines along the edge are similar to pineapple leaves and are arranged in a spiral on the stem. It is a slow-growing plant that gradually takes on the appearance of a false palm, several tens of centimeters high, with long, arched leaves and a trunk that appears to be spirally twisted due to the spiraling leaf scars located on it. Thick aerial roots should not be removed.
Types of indoor plants
P.veitchii is a spreading plant reaching a height of approximately 1.3 m. The leaves have a sharp serrated edge. The compacta variety requires less space. P. baptistii has smooth leaf edges.
Secrets of success in flower care
- Temperature:
- Lighting: Bright light, away from direct sun in summer.
- Watering: Abundant from spring to autumn, very limited in winter. Water with warm water.
- Air humidity:
- Transfer: Every two to three years in the spring.
- Reproduction: Root suckers, which are removed and used as cuttings when they reach a length of approximately 10 cm. Phytohormones and bottom heating are used for rooting.
Ferns
Polypodiophyta flower
Family Ferns
Ferns are coming back into fashion. They were very popular [in Victorian times (in the 19th century), when entire collections of shorts were grown in greenhouses and in special glass boxes. However, only a few species were grown as ordinary houseplants, because the combustion products of ulcer and the smoke from the coal that was then used for burning were extremely poisonous to all ferns. In the era of central heating, the air in homes became cleaner and interest in ferns was revived. But central heating also has disadvantages. Few ferns can tolerate dry air, so it is necessary to artificially increase air humidity. Most ferns are actually easy to grow, but they do require constant care. The soil should not be allowed to dry out and the air humidity should be maintained at a sufficiently high level.
The number of species in this group of plants is truly amazing. More than two thousand species are suitable for growing indoors, but only a few of them go on sale. The classic fern has a rosette of pinnate curved leaves (also called fronds), although there are collars with solid leaf blades, lanceolate, and also with rounded ones, the size of a button. Ferns can be placed in different ways. Many look great in hanging baskets, and some can be placed as single plants. Some delicate ferns, such as the Ruddy adiantum, are best grown in a terrarium. When grouping ferns with other plants, do not place them too closely; the leaves are very fragile and require a lot of space to develop well. Remove dead and damaged leaves so new ones can grow in their place.
Secrets of success in flower care
- Temperature: Moderate, prefers cool nights, but low temperatures should be avoided. The most suitable temperature is around 15-20°C; most ferns cannot tolerate temperatures below 10°C and suffer if it exceeds 22°C.
- Lighting: Contrary to popular belief, not all ferns are shade-loving plants; many of them come from tropical forests where they grew in patches of bright sunlight. Bright, but diffused light, like that of an eastern or northern window, suits them.
- Watering: The earthen ball should never dry out, but at the same time, waterlogging threatens rotting of the roots. In winter, watering is limited.
- Air humidity: Almost all ferns require high humidity. Leaves should be sprayed regularly.
- Transfer: In spring, if the roots fill the pot; Most young ferns may need to be repotted annually. Remember that the top of the stem must remain above the ground.
- Reproduction: The easiest way is to divide the plant (if it forms shoots) into 2-3 parts in early spring during transplantation. Some ferns give rise to new plants at the ends of ground-rooting shoots-stolons (for example, Nephrolepis sublime) or at the ends of leaves (Rosum bulbifera). Possible, but more the hard way- germination of spores formed in sporangia on the lower part of the adult leaf blade.
- Brown dots or stripes on the underside of leaf blades
Cause: They appear on a healthy adult leaf during sporulation, when spores form in sac-like containers. The spores can be used to propagate ferns. - Brown shells scattered unevenly across leaves
Cause: Scale insect; it especially often damages nephrolepis. - Leaves turning yellow from the base. Brown spots appear on mature leaves and leaves die
Cause: Too warm air; a common occurrence when placing ferns near central heating radiators. Only a few ferns are able to tolerate high air temperatures. If the plant is wilted and clearly drying out, the cause may be improper watering. - Yellowing leaves with brown tips, no new leaves growing
Cause: Air too dry. - Pale color of leaves, traces of burns on the surface of the leaf blade
Reason: Too bright sunlight. In summer, ferns should be shaded from the midday sun. - Pale leaf color, weak growth
Cause: Insufficient nutrition. During the growth period, ferns should be fed little by little but often. - The leaves are dying
Cause: The most likely causes are dry air and overdried soil.
Solanum flower
Family Solanaceae
Nightshade produces tiny flowers in the summer followed by green berries that change color as winter approaches. A plant with orange or red berries against a background of dark green foliage, it is commonly used to decorate homes at Christmas. If this small bush is placed on a sunny windowsill in a cool room, the berries will last for several months. A closely related species, the Jerusalem cherry, has larger berries. Necessary warning: nightshade berries can cause poisoning. P. capsicum usually retains berries until February. Earlier falling of leaves, as a rule, indicates waterlogging of the soil, falling of berries - a lack of light or dry and too warm air.
Secrets of success in flower care
- Temperature: Requires cool conditions, 12-16°C in winter.
- Lighting:
- Watering: Constantly plentiful.
- Air humidity: Requires frequent spraying of leaves.
- Care after flowering: At the end of winter, the stems are cut to half their height. They are hardly watered until spring, then they are replanted. In the summer, the pot is exposed to fresh air and treated with an insecticide during the flowering period. In the fall they bring it back into the room.
- Reproduction: By seeds or stem cuttings in spring.
Passiflora flower
Family Passiflora
The passionflower flower is complex, but despite the fragility of the flower, the plant itself cannot be called delicate. This is a strong vine that will take up all the available space if it is not pruned as vigorously as possible every spring. The leaves are deeply dissected, the stems have tendrils, blooms in summer, the flowers are short-lived.
Several species of passionflower are grown, including P. quadrangularis, which bears large yellow fruits, but only P. caerulea is accepted for indoor cultivation.
Secrets of success in flower care
- Temperature:
- Lighting: Light-loving.
- Watering: Abundant, in summer, perhaps daily; In winter, watering is reduced.
- Air humidity: From time to time the leaves are sprayed.
- Transfer: Every year in the spring.
- Reproduction: Stem cuttings in summer or seeds in spring.
Paphiopedilum flower
Orchid family
Since a single flower remains decorative for up to three months. The plants bloom regularly and are easy to care for, and Paphiopedilum is one of the favorite orchids for sale. There is usually one flower, but very large. The lower lip of one petal really resembles a shoe in shape. The two upper petals droop down, and the upper sepal remains above them. The two lower sepals are fused under the “shoe”. The flower is shiny, as if sculpted from wax. Often graceful folds form along the edges. The range of colors and patterns is very diverse: purple, deep lilac, yellowish, white spots and veins are harmoniously combined with each other. It is not without reason that botanists associate Paphiopedilum with the goddess of beauty - Venus (another name is Lady's slipper).
The leaves of many plants have a marbled pattern, which makes the plant even more attractive. However, variegated forms need more shading than plain ones.
Paphiopedilum does not tolerate bright light and grows well in artificial light. He also does not like heat; it is better if the temperature does not rise above 25°C. Optimal temperature regime 24°C in summer and 16-18°C in winter. From April to August, gradually increase watering, and from January to April, reduce it.
It is replanted in the spring or immediately after flowering. The bush can be divided so that each part has its own roots.
Pachypodium flower
Family Kutrovye
The name “pachypodium” contains an amazing form of growth: “pachys” means thick, “podium” means leg. Indeed, in their homeland pachypodiums are of impressive size (up to 5 m). Madagascar pachypodium Jay grows in the form of a slender, thick column, studded with strong and sharp thorns. But the South African Pachypodium Sanders is a typical “bottle” tree with an expanded tuberous trunk. This species also has spines, but they sit on thin branches in the upper part of the crown.
Young plants of Pachypodium Lamera are on sale, attractive primarily because of their long dark green leaves with a light main vein, the leaves are located in the upper part of the plant, the appearance of a tuft. The stem itself is round, seated with groups of spines. Pachypodium is often confused with milkweed (euphorbia): when damaged, both plants secrete white milky sap. This juice is extremely poisonous, but does not burn the skin. Unfortunately, it is very difficult to bring pachypodium to flowering indoors. With good care, pachypodiums bloom in 6-7 years. So pay attention to the thorns. The beautiful shape of a plant depends on your ability to balance between drought and watering. If you dry out the pachypodium too much, it will lose some of its gorgeous leaves, although it will not die.
Pachypodium loves bright sunlight and benefits from direct sunlight. In summer, watering is more abundant, in winter it is reduced. During the dormant period it is better to keep it cool. The minimum temperature that pachypodium can withstand without damage is +4°C, although the winter optimum is between 10-14°C.
Water in the morning, preferably with warm and soft water. Pachypodium does not need spraying.
After handling pachypodium, you must wash your hands. Try not to damage the plant, and if this happens, do not allow the juice to get on the mucous membranes or in the eyes.
Despite its extreme toxicity, pachypodium is defenseless against the scale insect. The red spider mite causes some damage to it.
Pachystachys flower
Family Acanthus
Spike-shaped inflorescences of pachystachys rise above the ovoid leaves. The main advantage of this plant is its long flowering period, which, with sufficient watering and regular feeding, lasts from late spring to autumn. Falling leaves indicate drying out of the soil at the roots. In spring, the plant is pruned; the cut ends of the stems can be used as cuttings.
Secrets of success in flower care
- Temperature: Moderate, in winter not lower than 12°C.
- Lighting: Bright, diffused light in summer.
- Watering: Abundant from spring to late autumn. In winter, watering is reduced.
- Air humidity: Requires spraying of leaves in summer.
- Transfer: Every year in the spring.
- Reproduction: Stem cuttings in spring or summer.
Pellaea rotundifolia flower
Family Ferns
Pellea rotundifolia is an evergreen, very decorative fern. In England, it was nicknamed “button fern” for its rounded, stiff leaves. This native of New Zealand prefers dry rather than humid air, which simplifies care (no need for regular spraying). The plant is small, about 30 cm tall, with a shallow root system. The fronds are dark green, with alternately arranged rounded leathery leaves. The petiole is pubescent or covered with small scales. The sori are located along the veins and are somewhat covered by the folded edges of the leaflets.
Pellea rotundifolia is a well-known potted plant that is easy to grow. To do this, provide it with a substrate of peat, leaf soil, humus and sand (1:1:1:1) and water more moderately than other ferns. In summer the soil should be moister than in winter. During the growing season, the button fern benefits from light feeding once every 3-4 weeks. In winter, the pelley can be kept in a bright, ventilated room at a temperature of 12-15°C.
Pellea is propagated by dividing the bush during transplantation. Pelleia does not get sick, but does not like cold, damp soil. Among the pests, we note the scale insect.
Pellionia flower
Family Nettles
The two types of pellionia add variety to arrangements in a terrarium or bottle garden, but if you place the pellionia in a hanging basket or grow it as a ground cover, it will be more difficult to care for than the unpretentious Tradescantia. Pellionias require high humidity and warmth in winter. They are shade-tolerant, but extremely sensitive to drafts.
Types of indoor plants
In the ampelous P. daveauana, a light stripe runs along the midrib of the leaf, the edges are olive or bronze-green. P. pulchra has very dark veins on the upper side of the leaf, and the underside is purple.
Secrets of success in flower care
- Temperature: Moderate, in winter not lower than 12°C.
- Lighting: Partial shade or bright diffused light.
- Watering:
- Air humidity: Requires frequent spraying of leaves.
- Transfer: Every two years in the spring.
- Reproduction: By division during transplantation. Stem cuttings root easily.
Pentas flower
Family Rubiaceae
You are unlikely to find this plant in your local flower shop, but if you are lucky enough to get it, it will decorate the sunny windowsill in your home. The ends of the stems should be pinched regularly, otherwise the plant will become too elongated. It is better not to let it grow above 45 cm. It blooms at any time of the year, most often in winter. Pentas is not difficult to cultivate; in winter it is kept at a temperature of about 16°C.
Types of indoor plants
The original species is P. lanceolata (P. carnea). The inflorescence consists of numerous tubular flowers with a star-shaped limb. The culture includes varieties with flowers of white, pink, red and mauve colors.
Secrets of success in flower care
- Temperature: Moderate, in winter not lower than 12°C.
- Lighting: Bright light with some direct sunlight.
- Watering: Abundant, watering is reduced in winter.
- Air humidity: The leaves should be sprayed from time to time.
- Transfer: Every year in the spring.
- Reproduction: Stem cuttings in spring. Phytohormones are used for rooting.
Peperomia flower
Family Peppery
Peperomia are often placed in gardens in a bowl, in “bottle gardens” - that is, they are used in situations where there is little space. They are compact, slow-growing, and some varieties produce funny, rat-tail-like inflorescences of tiny greenish flowers. Apart from these general properties, no other sign will help you determine that some unfamiliar plant is a peperomia. Three types have been popular for several years. These are P. caperata, P. hederaefolia and P. magnoliaefolia. A sophisticated gardener can easily recognize this trinity, but besides them, there are many other species. In culture, ampelous, bush-like and erect peperomia with succulent, wavy, smooth or drooping, green or variegated, and even striped leaves, like a watermelon, are accepted. Peperomia grow well indoors, but remember that their natural habitat is on tree trunks or the moss floor of the South American rainforest. Plant them not in the ground, but in a peat mixture. If the leaves begin to wither due to lack of water, then they will certainly fall off. Despite their origins in the humid tropics, peperomias do not require constant high humidity and grow well in rooms with central heating.
Secrets of success in flower care
- Temperature: Moderate, in winter not lower than 12-14°C.
- Lighting: Bright diffused light or partial shade. Peperomia grow well in artificial light.
- Watering: Careful. Between waterings, the soil is allowed to dry out, but the leaves are not allowed to begin to wilt. In winter, water very little; when watering, use lukewarm water.
- Air humidity: In summer, the leaves are sprayed from time to time. Do not spray in winter.
- Transfer: As sparse as possible, as needed, every few years they are transplanted into a larger pot in the spring.
- Reproduction: Cuttings take root easily. Stem cuttings of upright and hanging varieties are taken in spring or summer; bush-like varieties are propagated by leaf cuttings.
Particular difficulties when caring for a plant
- Leaves with brown tips and edges
Cause: Unexpected drop in temperature. Remove all damaged leaves, protect plants from drafts, and avoid cold window sills. - Sudden leaf drop in succulent varieties
Reason: Delay in watering. Water peperomia when the soil is slightly dry, but before the leaves begin to wilt. - The leaves are limp and faded. Rot spots on the stem or leaves. Corky growths on the leaves below.
Reason: Waterlogging of the soil, especially in winter. - Unexpected leaf fall in winter
Reason: Too low temperature air. The air temperature should not fall below 12°C.
Capsicum
Capsicum flower
Family Solanaceae
This plant is grown more for its ornamental fruits than for its leaves or flowers. Its leaves are uninteresting, the white flowers appearing in summer or autumn are small. At first green, the fruits gradually change color to different shades of yellow, orange or red. Depending on the variety, they are oval or pointed; with proper care, they may not fall off for two or three months. In English-speaking countries, the popular name for this plant is “Christmas pepper”, since it is sold in huge quantities in December to decorate traditional holiday interiors. A few tips for care: requires some direct sunlight, does not tolerate dry soil and dry air, which causes the fruits to fall off.
Secrets of success in flower care
- Temperature: Moderate, not lower than 12°C.
- Lighting: Bright light with morning or afternoon sun.
- Watering: Abundant. It is useful to use the immersion method from time to time.
- Air humidity: Requires frequent spraying of leaves.
- Care after flowering: The plant is thrown away.
- Reproduction: Seeds in early spring.
Pisonia flower
Family Nyctaginaceae
This unusual tree-like indoor plant at first glance resembles a ficus with its shiny ovoid leaves on straight stems. However, in appearance it is very different from the ficus. The stems are highly branched and the leaves exude a sticky resin, hence the plant's popular English name - Birdcatcher Tree. Sometimes it blooms with tiny white tubular flowers, followed by sticky fruits.
Types of indoor plants
P.umbellifera has green leaves. For indoor culture, a variety of variegata is available for sale, the leaves of which are creamy and pink along the edges.
Secrets of success in flower care
- Temperature: Moderate, in winter not lower than 12°C.
- Lighting: Bright light away from direct sunlight.
- Watering: Be careful - allow the soil to dry out between waterings.
- Air humidity: In the summer I spray the leaves from time to time.
- Transfer: Every two years in the spring.
- Reproduction: Stem cuttings in summer. For rooting, phytohormones and bottom heating are used.
Pilea flower
Family Nettles
The culture offers a wide selection of bush-like and hanging varieties of pili, which are easy to care for even for a beginner. The easiest to grow is the common P. Cadieux with white spots on the leaves. The rules for caring for it are very simple: on frosty nights, remove plants from window sills, pinch the ends of the stems to increase branching, and protect them from drafts. Even in experienced hands, pili's lower leaves fall off with age and the stems become bare. It is best to renew plants every spring from cuttings that take root easily. All bushy Pileas, except P. parvifolia, are grown for their beautiful leaves.
Secrets of success in flower care
- Temperature:
- Lighting: Bright light or partial shade, in summer it should be shaded from direct sun.
- Watering: Abundant from spring to autumn, allow the soil to dry out a little between waterings. Water with soft water.
- Air humidity: Requires regular spraying of leaves.
- Transfer: In the spring, if the plant is left for the second year.
- Reproduction: From stem cuttings in late spring or summer.
Particular difficulties when caring for a plant
- Pests
There is a danger of spider mites. - Falling leaves in winter
Cause: Mass leaf fall can be caused by cold air and waterlogging of the soil, but individual leaves fall off in winter even on a healthy plant. Trim bare stems in spring to encourage new leaves to grow. - Withering and turning pale leaves. Hiding the root. Falling of some leaves.
Reason: Waterlogging of the soil, especially in winter. Take the usual steps to treat the plant. - Brown tips and edges on leaves that have lost color.
Cause: The most likely cause is lack of light. If the plant is well lit, a sharp drop in temperature may be the cause.
Pittosporum flower
Family Pittosporaceae
Pittosporum is very popular with decorators when they require a tree with shiny leaves that can grow in low light. They don't particularly like him in Britain. When growing it, two problems arise - cream flowers appear only in good light, and for the winter it needs a cool room.
Types of indoor plants
P.tobira is a tree with a flat crown and dark leaves. In spring, inflorescences appear consisting of many tubular star-shaped flowers. The variety variegatum has leaves with white spots.Secrets of success in flower care
- Temperature: Moderate, in winter not lower than 7-12°C.
- Lighting: Bright light, in summer - not in direct sun.
- Watering: Abundantly, with intervals between waterings until the soil begins to dry out. In winter, watering is moderate.
- Air humidity: The leaves should be sprayed from time to time.
- Transfer: If necessary in the spring.

Platiycerium alcicorne flower
Family Ferns
Anyone who has ever seen deer antlers immediately becomes a fan of this unusual fern. Spore-bearing fronds really resemble the branched antlers of an elk or deer, and sterile fronds pressed to the substrate create the impression of a head.
Reproduction by spores is quite a long way, since the plant becomes ornamental only at 7-9 years. So the only one quick way to get this luxurious fern - buy it in the store.
Deer antlers can decorate any collection of epiphytes. Wrap the roots in sphagnum moss and attach to a tree or other decorative support. Twice a week, abundant watering with soft, warm water is necessary. Water is poured into the gap between the substrate and the sterile fronds. If, through an oversight, you have dried out a lump of earth, you can make it moist again only by immersing it in water. Maintain high humidity. It is safer to grow platycerium in a glass display case or mini-greenhouse.
A mixture of pine bark, leaf soil, peat and sphagnum in equal proportions is suitable as a substrate for platicerium.
Plectranthus flower
Family Lamiaceae
Plectranthus is a close relative of Coleus. It is quite widespread among flower lovers, although it is practically not available in stores. Plectranthus is valued for its unpretentiousness, fast growth, shiny leaves and original colors. In Europe, there is an old belief that plectranthus brings money to the house. (Apparently, economic prosperity European countries caused by the great popularity of plectranthus.) Grow this plant, and perhaps it will bring you good luck.
The three species of plectranthus are called "Swedish ivy" in English because this plant is very popular in Scandinavia, where it is grown in hanging baskets and on window sills. Despite its name, plectranthus looks more like the humble coleus than the colorful ivy. The drooping stems are densely covered with leaves and grow quickly. It is a pity that Swedish ivy is not very common in other countries - it has many advantages: it grows well in dry air, tolerates occasional drying out of the soil near the roots and sometimes blooms. To enhance branching, the ends of the stems are cut off and the trimmings are used as cuttings that take root easily.
Secrets of success in flower care
- Temperature: Moderate, in winter not lower than 10°C.
- Lighting: Bright light or partial shade, does not tolerate direct sunlight.
- Watering: Abundant, moderate in winter.
- Air humidity: The leaves are sprayed from time to time.
- Transfer: Every two to three years in the spring, but it is better to rejuvenate every year.
- Reproduction: Stem cuttings selected in spring or summer take root easily.
plumeria flower
Family Kutrovye
Plumeria is a widespread shrub in subtropical countries, but is rare as a houseplant in temperate countries. Sometimes it is recommended for indoor culture, although it grows in a tub up to 2 m or higher and is more suitable for a greenhouse. Famous for its large apical inflorescences.
Secrets of success in flower care
- Temperature: Moderate, in winter not lower than 12°C.
- Lighting: Bright light with some direct sunlight.
- Watering: Abundant from spring to autumn, very limited in winter.
- Air humidity: The leaves should be sprayed from time to time.
- Transfer: Every two years in the spring.
- Reproduction: Stem cuttings in spring. For rooting, phytohormones and bottom heating are used.
Hedera helix L. flower
Family Araliaceae
Ivy in Western Europe are called wild plants belonging to different genera. Here we will talk about true ivy (genus Hedera). This ivy fully deserves its good reputation as an ornamental plant and has long been the basis of compositions. If ivy is grown as a vine, it will quickly fill empty spaces - especially if you choose the fast-growing forms of Hedera helix. The stems have aerial sucker roots, with the help of which the plant climbs wallpaper, panels, etc. The slow-growing H. canariensis has larger leaves, but no aerial roots, so it needs support. Ivy is used not only for vertical gardening. They can be grown as hanging plants in hanging baskets or as ground covers among larger plants. Compact bushy forms are suitable for such purposes - for example, Eva, Glacier and sagittaefolia. Ivies are common and popular plants, but they do not deserve the fame they are given for being easy to grow. They grew well in unheated rooms in the last century, but suffer in modern homes with dry and hot air. When the central heating is on in the house in winter, spray the ivy leaves regularly - otherwise, don't be surprised by the appearance of brown spots on the ends of the leaves.
HOW TO MAKE A TREE FROM IVY
Trim the side shoots of Fatshedera lizei and tie the stem to the supports. When the plant reaches 1 m in height, trim the top horizontally. Make cuts on the top surface of the stem.
Secrets of success in flower care
- Temperature: Below moderate, but not frosty. Night temperature should not exceed 16°C.
- Lighting: Bright light in winter; In summer it should be shaded from direct sun.
- Watering: Abundant in summer (the soil should be kept moist at all times), moderate in winter (do not allow the soil to dry out).
- Air humidity: In summer it requires frequent spraying, especially if the room is warm and dry. In a room with central heating it should also be sprayed in winter.
- Transfer: Every two years it requires replanting into a larger pot.
- Reproduction: From time to time, the ends of the stems should be pinched to allow side shoots to grow. The cut off tops can be used as cuttings.
Polypodium (phlebodium) flower
Family Ferns
The golden centipede (R. aureum b.) is so named for the golden color of the scales that densely cover the rhizome. In nature, this species grows on trees as an epiphytic plant. The rhizome does not need to be buried in the substrate. A potting mix for orchids or bromeliads will also work well for centipedes. Try a composition of peat, fern rhizomes, sphagnum, crushed pine bark and leaf humus (2:2:1:1:2). However, the plant grows well in any substrate that is well permeable to air and moisture-absorbing.
The rhizome of the centipede is branched, so it seems that the plant really has “many legs”, with which it is firmly held by the tree trunk. The leaves are solitary, their shape depends on the age of the plant. In young millipedes, the leaf blades are oval and entire, while in those ready for sporulation they are pinnately incised, with rounded sporulations on the underside.
The centipede does not require care. When watering, moisten the substrate generously with soft water, allow the soil to soak well, and drain off the excess moisture. The next watering is needed 1-2 days after the soil surface becomes dry. The centipede responds well to high air humidity, which is best created not by spraying, but by using a tray with damp moss or peat. However, the plant adapts well to dry and cool air. Grows best in bright but diffused light. Avoid direct sunlight. The centipede is propagated by dividing the rhizome or by spores (in this fern, sowing spores is quite effective). Pick up young plants formed on the shoots in a timely manner and keep them in a warm and humid aquarium.
The centipede looks good in hanging baskets as an unusual hanging plant. It is also effective in compositions with other ferns.
Polyscias flower
Family Araliaceae
Polyscias is an oriental tree with twisting stems and decorative foliage. It looks very impressive in a beautiful ceramic pot as a single plant, but large specimens up to 20 cm are incredibly expensive. If you can provide it with care, buy a young plant. Polyscias usually have fern-like leaves, but the most widespread, P. balfouriana, has large, rounded leaves. Unfortunately, under normal indoor conditions, polyscias grows with difficulty, because at the slightest violation of the conditions of maintenance it drops its leaves. It needs good lighting, even soil moisture at the roots and warmth in winter. The main problem when growing is air humidity: polyscias tolerates dry air very poorly.
Secrets of success in flower care
- Temperature: Moderate or slightly above moderate, in winter not lower than 14-16°C.
- Lighting: Bright diffused light, can adapt to partial shade.
- Watering: Moderate from spring to autumn, limited in winter.
- Air humidity: Requires frequent spraying of leaves.
- Transfer: Every two years in the spring.
- Reproduction: Difficult. Stem cuttings are taken in the spring. For rooting, phytohormones and bottom heating are used.
Primula flower
Family Primroses
Primroses are one of the most beautiful potted plants that bloom all winter and spring. Their numerous flowers are produced in the middle of the rosette of leaves (in varieties without peduncles) or on long straight peduncles (in varieties with peduncles). The stemless multi-flowered primrose grows very well in pots - plants in this group have large, bright flowers; after flowering they can be planted back into open ground. The most delicate of the primroses is P. softish, P. sinensis has wavy edges of the corolla and leaves, and people with sensitive skin should not touch P. obraconical. When planting, the plants are not buried - the rosette should be at soil level. Primroses need good lighting, protection from drafts, moderate temperature air and shading from direct sun. Wilted flowers are removed and the plants are regularly fed.
Secrets of success in flower care
- Temperature: Moderate, during the flowering period no higher than 12-16°C.
- Lighting: Very bright light, but not direct sun.
- Watering: During the flowering period - abundant.
- Air humidity: The leaves are sprayed from time to time. When enough high temperature air, the pot is placed on a tray with pebbles.
- Care after flowering: P. acaulis is planted in open ground; other species are usually discarded. P. obconica and P. sinensis can be left for the next season; for this they are replanted and kept throughout the summer in a cool, slightly shaded place with good ventilation. Water very sparingly; In autumn, remove yellowed leaves and increase watering.
- Reproduction: Seeds in mid-summer.
Pseuderanthemum
Pseuderanthemum flower
Family Acanthus
Pseudaranthemum is grown primarily for its brightly colored leaves, but if conditions are favorable, the mature plant may also produce white flowers with purple centers in late spring or summer. This plant is not easy to grow because it requires high humidity and does better in a greenhouse or “green window” than in a regular room. Stems are erect, leaves are ovate.
Types of indoor plants
P. atropurpureum has purple spots on the leaves. The tricolor and variegatum varieties have leaves with cream, purple and pink spots.
Secrets of success in flower care
- Temperature: Quite high, in winter not lower than 16°C.
- Lighting: Bright light or partial shade. Shade should be provided from direct sun.
- Watering: Abundant, allow the soil to dry out a little between waterings.

Pteris cretica flower
Family Ferns
As the Latin name suggests, this type of fern comes from the island of Crete. It has leathery dark green fronds lined with stiff bristles along the edges. Dark brown lines of sori stretch along the leaves of the fronds. The leaves themselves are large, elongated and few in number. The lower ones are cut into two lobes. Spore-bearing and sterile fronds differ slightly in shape. Spore-bearing ones are longer and more decorative, with narrow leaves, and sterile ones have a shorter petiole and wider leaves.
Pteris has many garden forms. For example, the albolineata form has light stripes along the main vein of each leaflet, while the alexandrae form has jagged, dissected edges. Other species and varieties of pteris are also available for sale, differing in color, size and shape of the fronds.
Pteris has few growing points, hidden underground. You should not divide it too often; before dividing, take a close look at the plant, as you can easily make a mistake and separate a piece of rhizome with fronds, but without a growing point.
For pteris, the same substrate is suitable as for nephrolepis. It also needs moist air, shade from bright sun and preferably cooler temperatures in winter (about 12°C).
Ornithogallium flower
Liliaceae family
The poultry plant is better known in our country under the name “Mongolian onion” - although it has nothing to do with Mongolia or onions. The long, belt-like, drooping leaves lack the characteristic onion smell. And the long (almost a meter) inflorescence does not at all resemble rounded onion umbrellas. A characteristic feature of the birdflower is its six-petaled flowers, which have green stripes along the back of each “petal.”
Ornithischium caudate is attributed to healing properties. It really contains many biologically active substances; they should not be allowed to come into contact with mucous membranes. Warn your family about this in advance.
Any soil that is not too acidic is suitable for poultry farming. This plant is drought tolerant but does not tolerate overwatering. You should not spray the leaves, but regularly remove any accumulated dust from your pet's leaves. Under normal conditions, the poultry plant never sheds its leaves. With good care it blooms in the spring months.
Repot the plant as the bulb grows. The pot should be 5 cm larger than its diameter. Separate babies when transplanting. Feeding is useful for the poultry farmer, but you can do without it.
The only thing this bulbous plant really needs is bright light. In the summer, you can take the poultry plant out onto the balcony or into the garden. It is useful even to plant the bulb in the garden bed for the summer (don’t forget to dig it up before frost).
Aphids, spider mites, and scale insects are observed on the poultry forest.
Poinsettia flower
Family Euphorbiaceae
Outside the home, the symbol of Christmas is holly (holly) with bright red berries. Indoors, Christmas is now symbolized by the poinsettia (correctly called Euphorbia pulcherrima) with its large scarlet blossoms. This was not always the case - in the early 1960s, poinsettia was a tall shrub that was difficult to maintain and force to bloom under normal indoor conditions. A lot has changed since then. Modern varieties of poinsettia are branchier, more decorative and much less demanding; In addition, with the help of modern chemicals it has become possible to control the size of the plant. That's why modern poinsettias are compact (30-45 cm tall) and the "flowers" (actually colorful bracts) last from two to six months. When buying a plant, pay attention to the yellow and small central inflorescences located in the middle of the general inflorescence: the plant will bloom longer if they are not open. It is advisable that the plant does not stand on the street or in a cold store. At home, place it in a well-lit, draft-free place and keep it at a moderate temperature.
Secrets of success in flower care
- Temperature: Moderate, in winter during the flowering period not lower than 14-16°C.
- Lighting: Very bright lighting in winter; plants that are left for next year should be shaded from the hot summer sun.
- Watering: Abundant as the soil dries. Water immediately if leaves begin to wilt. In summer, watering is increased.
- Air humidity: During the flowering period, it requires frequent spraying of the leaves.
- Care after flowering: The plant is thrown away, but if you like a challenge, you can keep it until next Christmas. In autumn you will have to carefully observe the lighting regime
- Reproduction: Stem cuttings in early summer. Phytohormones are used for rooting.
Particular difficulties when caring for a plant
- Falling off of inflorescences; yellow or brown leaf edges
Cause: The usual cause is dry air in a warm room. Poinsettias need moist air, so mist the leaves often. - Pests
The main damage is caused by spider mites and mealybugs. - Wilting and then falling leaves
Cause: The most likely cause is waterlogging of the soil: the plant should be watered when the surface of the soil is almost completely dry. Of course, insufficient watering, when the soil near the roots dries out, also leads to wilting and falling leaves. - Falling leaves without signs of wilting
Cause: Leaves may suddenly drop if the plant is exposed to too cold a temperature or too warm or too cold a draft. Another possible reason There may be insufficient lighting.

Stepping is the removal of excess side shoots (stepchildren), which take away nutrients from the flowering parts of the plant. Remove non-flowering or poorly flowering side branches. Pinching promotes more abundant flowering and the production of larger flowers on the main shoots. 
Parenchyma - from the Greek. parenchyma, lit. - poured nearby - in plants this is the main tissue within which highly specialized (conductive, mechanical) tissues are differentiated. It consists of living, isodiametric (equal in size in all directions) cells that perform various functions. Parenchymal tissues can return to a meristematic state (i.e., regain the ability to divide), for example, during wound healing, tissue and organ regeneration, and the formation of adventitious roots and shoots. The main functions of parenchyma are the synthesis and storage of organic substances.
Peloric flower - from Greek. pelorios – monstrous - a flower with a regular (actinomorphic) corolla, in contrast to other flowers of the same plant that have irregular (zygomorphic) corollas. The peloric flower develops at the top of the inflorescence. It is possible that the formation of a peloric flower depends on the uniform effect of gravity on the corolla due to its apical, and not lateral, like other flowers, position.
It is generally accepted that an actinomorphic flower is the initial state of the trait, while a zygomorphic flower is a derivative. This phenomenon in orchids - developmental disorders, both inherited (mutations) and non-inherited, which lead to the development of actinomorphic flowers in plants in which they are normally zygomorphic.
Replanting is replacing old soil in a pot with a plant, usually with the selection of a larger container (pot, container, bowl). Complete transplant - when the entire old land and the roots are completely exposed; this is done when the soil is completely unsuitable and has lost all its nutrients. (transplanting palm trees, ficus, asparagus, etc.). Incomplete transplantation - when a larger or smaller part of the earthen coma remains in the roots. Renewal of the top layer of soil - when part of the soil is replaced with humus soil, since when watering, nutrients are leached from the top layer.
Transplantation is usually carried out in the spring from March to May. Tender plants are transplanted a little later. Plants that bloom in spring are replanted after flowering. If you replant the plant at the moment of flowering or bud formation, it will shed both flowers and buds. In summer after spring flowering, replant conifers. Plants that were in warm rooms are transplanted later than those that were in cool rooms. The bulbous plants are replanted at the end of the dormant period.
Transshipment of plants is a technique close to transplanting, with the difference that the lump of earth should remain intact, and the plant is transplanted into a larger pot. This technique is suitable for young herbaceous, fast-growing plants that grow several times during the spring-summer period. Transshipment, unlike complete transplantation, does not slow down plant growth. In young plants, it is not necessary to allow the formation of a felt-like layer of roots, but to carry out transshipment when the roots have not yet filled the entire pot. Transshipment is also applied to plants that do not tolerate transplantation due to possible damage to the roots.
Pericycle - from peri... and Greek. kyklos - circle, pericambium, layer of cells of the primary meristem in roots and sometimes stems, surrounding the conducting cylinder and located under the epidermis. The pericycle consists of one (sometimes several) layers of parenchyma cells. All lateral roots are formed from the pericycle in the roots of the primary structure. In the roots of the secondary structure, with the help of pericycle cells, the cambium closes into a common ring and forms wide root rays, in which reserve substances are deposited and new formation of adventitious roots and buds occurs.
Pistil - (typical structure) consists of an ovary (lower expanded part), style (middle part) and stigma (upper part). During sexual reproduction, pollen caught on the stigma of the pistil forms a pollen tube, which grows through the style into the ovary to the ovule. With the pollen tube, two male reproductive cells (sperms) penetrate into the embryo sac, fertilizing the egg and the secondary nucleus.
Picking - planting seedlings. Without picking, dense seedlings stretch out and may die. Picking is also needed to strengthen the root system. To cause the formation of a larger number of fibrous lateral roots, the end of the tap root of the seedling is pinched to 1/3 of its length. You should not pinch only thick, juicy, fleshy roots, like those of agapanthus, palm trees, clivia, cyclamen, etc.
Pinching - pinching, involves removing the apical bud, or the end of a leafy shoot, by pinching off (with fingernails) or trimming (with scissors or a knife). At the same time, the nearest lateral buds begin to develop intensively. Pinching is carried out after transplantation at the plant growth stage. Pinching delays the beginning of flowering, so when the plant takes the required shape, pinching is stopped.
Carpel - from carpellum, is the reproductive part of a flower that produces ovules (ovules). The carpel - one or more - makes up the female part of the flower - the gynoecium (a set of pistils on a flower). It is believed that the carpel is of leaf origin, but is homologous not to the vegetative leaf, but to the megasporophyll. The most primitive carpels consist of a short stalk (gynopodia) and a thin plate folded along the midrib, inside of which ovules sit between the veins. The edges of the plate are not completely closed and are covered with glandular hairs (stigmatic part), which protect the entrance to the carpel cavity from insects, and also receive pollen and promote its germination with their secretions. In the process of evolution, a typical stigma is formed, localized at the top, parts of the carpel and a style (styliolium), which lifts the stigma above the ovary. A closed carpel or several carpels fused together are called a pistil.
Sexual hybridization- or crossing. When carrying out sexual hybridization, an important role is played by the staged analysis of the initial forms, which makes it possible to develop new varieties and species not by chance, but systematically, foreseeing the result in advance. The requirement for parental pairs is primarily health, good development, absence of diseases and pests. Great importance has a choice of flowers on the mother plant. For example, Michurin found that when pollinating flowers located closer to the main vertical branches of the trunk, hybrids are obtained with a greater deviation towards the mother plant, and when pollinating flowers of horizontal branches located on the periphery of the crown, hybrids are obtained with a deviation towards the paternal ones. signs. It also became known that the shadow side of the mother plant produces hybrids with worse qualities compared to hybrids obtained from flowers on the more illuminated side of the mother plant.
In artificial fertilization, pollen is transferred to the stigma of a pistil by a person. The pollen must be healthy and mature, for which it is taken from loose buds that are about to bloom. The petals are bent back with tweezers, and the best anthers are pinched off into a paper box. There should be no stamen filaments left on the anthers, because this can lead to pollen rotting.
If necessary, the anthers are dried until cracking, in a shaded place, wrapped in a paper bag. You can store pollen in dry glass cups covered with a light cloth (gauze) on top. Pollen is applied to the stigma of the pistil when the stigma is sexually mature, as indicated by the presence of a sweet and sticky syrupy liquid on it. The pollen is applied with a light touch of a brush, or simply with a clean, dry finger.
If the plant is capable of self-pollination, then they resort to castration - removing its own anthers.
Planting - placing a plant in a substrate for the further development of an already formed plant or its parts used for vegetative propagation, cuttings, bulbs, etc.
Soil mixture is artificial soil of various compositions for growing plants in containers. The soil mixture for indoor plants is compiled in accordance with the requirements of a particular plant for the lightness of the soil, its acidity, looseness, and nutritional value. For most plants, standard soil mixtures are assumed to contain humus, greenhouse soil, coniferous soil, leaf soil, peat and raising agents - perlite, vermiculite, expanded clay - in various proportions.
Rotary grafting - used for woody and herbaceous plants - the rootstock cut across is split lengthwise or crosswise. Two to four scions, pointed at the end, are inserted into the split, then tied and lubricated with garden varnish.
Conductive tissues - textus conduc-torii - are plant tissues that serve to transport nutrients throughout the plant. Water and dissolved minerals from the soil move through the xylem from the roots to the leaves; substances synthesized in the leaves, mainly products of photosynthesis, move through the phloem from the leaves to other organs (roots, buds, flowers, fruits). Conductive tissues form a continuous branched system in the plant body that connects all its organs. The composition of conductive tissues includes conductive, mechanical, storage, and excretory elements. Water-conducting elements of xylem (tracheids, vessels) quickly differentiate, become woody, lose protoplast and function for a long time in a dead state. The sieve elements of phloem form more slowly and function as conductive tissues only in a living state, for one year. Xylem and phloem are usually located side by side, forming cords or vascular bundles.
Procambium - from lat. pro - before, before, instead of and cambium - part of the apical meristem. It is formed at the shoot apex, in the area of formation of leaf primordia and near the distal zone of the root apex. Procambium cells are highly elongated, thin-walled, arranged in the form of cords connecting leaf primordia with the embryonic stem and forming a single procambial system. The number of strands between the stem and leaf is constant for the species (an important taxonomic character). At the root, the pricambium looks like a column and occupies a central position. Subsequently, the cells of the precambium differentiate into primary conducting tissue or into primary conducting tissue and cambium.
