What flowers are suitable for indoor cultivation
You may not know much about which flowers are suitable for indoor cultivation and recommended green plants for long-term indoor placement. It's some great tips that are worth collecting!
Cultivating flowers indoors often has poor ventilation, and after excessive watering, the flowers and green plants can develop rotting roots or even rotting leaves, especially in winter. Are there any flowers that can be cultivated indoors, requiring less watering, being drought-resistant, and still ensuring normal growth? Let's introduce some today.
The first one is the虎皮兰 (Snake Plant), which has very thick leaves and grows quite tall. There are also dwarf varieties that are relatively easy to care for, as they have thick rhizomes and leaves that can store a lot of water and nutrients. We don't need to water them frequently. The watering principle is to water thoroughly when the potting soil is completely dry, or when the leaves start to wilt slightly after drying out. This ensures the plant won't die and will recover quickly after watering. It's a very easy-to-care-for plant, but during maintenance, try not to expose it to direct sunlight. Providing some diffused light will prevent issues with insufficient watering. If you want to encourage rapid growth, water thoroughly when dry, expose it to more light, and supplement with fertilizer, which will promote fast growth and even flowering.
The second one is the cactus, which comes in many varieties with a wide range of flower colors. As long as the cactus grows to a certain size, it will bloom, and it's very easy to care for. Placing a sufficiently large cactus indoors, you can go a whole year without watering, and while it may shrink and wither a bit, it won't die. It's a typical drought-resistant plant, and it's simple to care for it well. Use well-draining soil, add more particles, place it in sunlight, and water according to the principle of thorough watering when dry, and supplement with some phosphorus and potassium fertilizer to encourage continuous blooming. Many flower enthusiasts say that cacti with spines are not suitable for indoor cultivation, but do you know that there are many spineless varieties, such as Star Cactus, Rebutia, and White Star, which are also easy to care for and have unique features.
The third most common houseplant is the吊兰 (Spider Plant), and other hanging plants like Ivies are also very easy to care for. The Spider Plant has thick, carrot-like roots that fill the pot, storing water and nutrients. As long as the potting soil is dry, the plant won't die even if it's not watered for one or two months, because the roots are full of nutrients. Once you water it, it will recover quickly and grow relatively fast. It's not picky about soil, making it very suitable for home cultivation. Keeping it indoors can also purify the air and is very effective.

The fourth one is theRubber Plant, which should be familiar to many. It has large, black, shiny leaves and is popular among many people. It's drought-resistant and can tolerate poor soil, requiring only sufficient sunlight and thorough watering when the potting soil is dry. If you use a large pot, even without watering for a few months, it won't shrink or wither as long as the soil is well-draining because it has a developed root system. To encourage rapid growth, use a suitable-sized pot, water more frequently, and apply a multi-element fertilizer or a high-nitrogen fertilizer 2-3 times a month to promote rapid growth of branches and leaves, and it will soon fill the pot.
There are many other drought-resistant plants, including the common succulents, cacti, and aloe vera, which can also be cultivated. They don't require special care and can grow well with occasional watering.
