The editor introduces you to some common indoor plants and the small experience of raising ten kinds of plants suitable for indoor maintenance. If there is anything wrong, please correct it!
As the saying goes, "All things grow rely on the sun." However, different flowering plants have different growth habits. Some flowers need to bloom and require sufficient full sunlight, such as: Jasmine, Osmanthus, Chinese Rose, Bougainvillea, succulent plants, etc. However, some flowers are naturally afraid of being exposed to the sun, and too much sunlight can easily cause yellow 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 scattered light environment or semi-shaded place with indoor ventilation and brightness. They can also grow and bloom vigorously with less light at home. Let's see which ones?
1. White Sails
White Sails, commonly known as Bai Zhang or Bai He Yu, is a perennial herbaceous plant with dense and large green leaves. The flowers stand gracefully, like little white sailboats, fresh and elegant, symbolizing auspiciousness. Moreover, it can tolerate shade and can be placed in the living room, coffee table, window sill, bathroom, and other places at home.
The leaves of White Sails are very thin and afraid of being exposed to the sun, which can easily cause yellow leaves and wither. It can grow in a warm, ventilated, and bright scattered light environment. It does not require high light and too much light is not conducive to growth and blooming. However, the light cannot be too weak, or 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 turn on the daylight lamp to supplement the light for it. However, be careful not to get too close to the light to prevent burning the leaves. White Sails prefers humidity and is not cold-resistant. It is best to keep the temperature above 15 degrees in winter. If grown in soil, water the pot when the surface of the soil is dry to three or four centimeters, and spray more water on the leaves when the air is dry. During the growing period, apply a thin liquid fertilizer or compound fertilizer every half a month. If grown in water, change the water regularly and add a few drops of nutrient solution to the water, and apply more phosphorus and potassium fertilizer before the flowering period to promote vigorous growth and continuous blooming.
2. Wedding Oil Painting
Wedding Oil Painting is a type of colored leaf hanging orchid, with leaves combined in pink, green, white, purple, and other colors, fresh and beautiful, presenting a natural luster like an oil painting and 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 will bloom.
Wedding Oil Painting hanging orchid has a strong vitality and strong germination, but it is not cold-resistant. It is best to keep it above 15 degrees in winter, and the growth rate is fastest at about 20-25 degrees. It can be fertilized frequently and watered when dry and wet, not too much or too frequently to avoid waterlogging and root rot. When the air is dry, you can spray water to increase humidity, and it is easy to grow and explode the pot.
It is very afraid of being exposed to the sun, and the beautiful leaves will dry up or dry the tips. It can be placed in a well-ventilated and bright scattered light environment or on a north-facing balcony, living room, study, and other places, occasionally exposed to warm and weak sunlight to grow very beautifully. The light cannot be too dark, or the leaf color will fade and lose the oil painting-like beauty.
