What are the indoor flowering plants
The editor brings the topic of indoor flowering plants and recommendations for ten types of flowers that are suitable for indoor care. Let's take a look with the editor!
As the saying goes, "All things grow with the sun." However, different flowers have different growth habits. Some flowers need sufficient full sunlight to bloom, such as: Jasmine, Osmanthus, Chinese roses, bougainvillea, succulents, etc. However, some flowers are naturally afraid of strong sunlight. Too much light can easily cause yellowing leaves and slow growth, which is not conducive to blooming. Especially in South China, even in winter, the sunlight at noon is still strong, and many flowers prefer to grow in a well-ventilated and bright scattered light environment or semi-shaded areas indoors. They can also thrive and bloom with less light at home. Let's see which ones there are?
1. Sailing Smoothly
Sailing Smoothly, commonly known as White Palm or White Crane芋, is a perennial herbaceous plant with dense, large, and green leaves. The blooms stand gracefully, like little white sailing boats, fresh and elegant, symbolizing good luck. Moreover, it can tolerate shade and can be placed in the living room, coffee table, windowsill, bathroom, and other places at home.
The leaves of Sailing Smoothly are very thin and afraid of strong sunlight, which can easily cause yellowing and withering. It can grow in a warm, ventilated, and bright scattered light environment. It does not require much light, and too much light is not conducive to growth and blooming. However, the light cannot be too weak, otherwise, it will lead to poor growth and difficulty in blooming or blooming green flowers.
If it is maintained indoors and there is insufficient light at home, you can supplement the light by turning on the daylight lamp. However, be careful not to get too close to the light to prevent burning the leaves. Sailing Smoothly likes moisture and is not cold-resistant. It is best to keep the temperature above 15 degrees in winter. When grown in soil, water the pot when the surface of the soil is dry to three or four centimeters. In dry air, spray more water on the leaves. During the growing period, apply a thin liquid fertilizer or compound fertilizer every half a month. When grown in water, change the water regularly and add a few drops of nutrient solution to the water. Before the flowering period, apply more phosphorus and potassium fertilizer to promote vigorous growth and continuous blooming.
2. Wedding Oil Painting
Wedding Oil Painting is a type of colored leaf hanging orchid, with leaves combining colors such as pink, green, white, and purple, fresh and beautiful, presenting a natural luster like an oil painting, bringing a fresh and elegant texture and a high-end feeling. Placed at home with suitable temperature, it has colorful leaves all year round, bright and attractive, as elegant and upscale as an oil painting. Moreover, it also blooms.
Wedding Oil Painting hanging orchid is strong and has a strong germination force, but it is not cold-resistant. It is best to keep it above 15 degrees in winter, and the growth rate is fastest between 20-25 degrees. It can be fertilized frequently and watered when the soil is dry and wet, not too much or too frequently to avoid waterlogging and root rot. In dry air, you can spray water to increase humidity, and it is easy to grow and explode the pot.
It is very afraid of strong sunlight, and the beautiful leaves will dry up or dry the tip. It can be placed in a well-ventilated and bright scattered light environment or on a north balcony, living room, study, and other places, and occasionally exposed to warm and weak sunlight to grow very beautifully. The light cannot be too dark, otherwise, the leaf color will fade and lose the oil painting-like beauty.
3. Large Rock Cymbidium
What are the indoor flowering plants
Large Rock Cymbidium is a famous "greenhouse princess," with flowers that are elegant and beautiful, afraid of strong sunlight and afraid of rain. Placed in a bright scattered light or semi-shaded area indoors, it can bloom. The flowers are large, layered, rich in color, and bright. Moreover, the flowering period is long, can tolerate shade, and is suitable for decorating and beautifying indoor environments. It can also bloom on a north balcony. If the light is too strong, it will not grow well, easily cause yellowing leaves, and is not easy to bloom.
In addition, Large Rock Cymbidium has a fleshy root system and is afraid of waterlogging. Its green and thick leaves are covered with a layer of villi, creep, and the above-ground stem is very short. When watering, be careful not to pour water on the leaves and flowers, and use the immersion pot method instead of watering. Its natural flowering period is in spring and summer, but it can also bloom in winter if the temperature is suitable, above 18 degrees. However, generally, if it has bloomed in spring and summer, you can let it rest and apply fertilizer normally in spring to promote blooming.
4. Kaffir Lily
Kaffir Lily is one of the famous indoor potted flowers, with a beautiful plant shape and elegant blooms that are not vulgar. Placed at home to decorate the living environment, it is elegant and atmospheric, symbolizing good luck. Moreover, it is a plant that is afraid of strong sunlight and is suitable for placement in a well-ventilated and bright scattered light environment or semi-shaded environment in the living room, study, and office desk. It is afraid of strong sunlight, which can burn the leaves and cause serious damage. Since it only grows a few leaves a year, cutting them is regrettable, and not cutting them affects the appearance and consumes nutrients.
Kaffir Lily is very sensitive to temperature and grows best in a warm and cool environment (15-26 degrees). It can be fertilized frequently (apply a thin liquid fertilizer or compound fertilizer once a month during the growing period, and apply potassium dihydrogen phosphate or "Flower More 2" diluted 1000 times before flowering). At the same time, be careful not to water too frequently to avoid root rot, yellow leaves, and black rot. The soil should not be watered until it is dry and then watered thoroughly. In winter, you can expose it to the sun appropriately to help with flowering. To prevent the leaves from growing crooked and growing more neatly in a straight line, you can rotate the pot every 7-10 days to evenly distribute the light and make the plant grow more evenly with green and vigorous leaves.
5. African Violet
African Violet, also known as African Stockings, is an internationally renowned indoor decorative flower. There are many varieties, with rich flower colors, including large flowers, single-petaled, semi-double-petaled, double-petaled, and variegated leaves.

The leaves of African Violet also have a layer of villi and are afraid of waterlogging and fertilizer. When watering and fertilizing, be sure to avoid getting it on the leaves. At the same time, it is also afraid of strong sunlight, which can easily cause yellowing and withering. For routine maintenance, it can grow vigorously and bloom in a place with sufficient scattered light and good ventilation, with a temperature of about 20 degrees.
