Potted flowers are an incredible decoration for a house, apartment, office, shop, school office or any other room. Caring for indoor plants is a set of principles and rules that should be followed for a healthy and beautiful appearance of the home garden. Simple tips from ArtFlora specialists have already been collected in this article. Competent recommendations will help you learn the basics of caring for and growing indoor plants, even for beginners in this business.

Home flower care: the main rule

First of all, it is worth remembering that each indoor plant requires an individual approach. There is no single technique suitable for all, without exception, colors. It is worthwhile to first observe the plant and its well-being, soil, leaves and flowers.

Avoiding extremes becomes a universal rule. Excessive watering or, conversely, lack of moisture, excess sunlight or darkness are detrimental to most home plants. It is always worth remembering that extreme conditions adversely affect flowers. It is best to stick to the golden mean and always focus on the condition of the plant.

Flower care: things to consider

Among the myriad of principles and recommendations, there are only five main points that should be constantly monitored. Among them:

• temperature regime;
• lighting;
• humidity;
• food;
• pests.

Let’s deal with each of the parameters separately.

Plant care: how to choose the right temperature?

Warmth is one of the fundamental factors influencing the growth and development of flowers. Plants in pots got their name: “indoor” for a reason. This suggests that the flowers are comfortable in normal home conditions. Most plants thrive at temperatures ranging from 13 to 24 degrees. Higher rates are required for exotic varieties. At the same time, there are plants that grow better in the cold. For them, the maximum is 16 degrees.

Almost all plants are able to withstand slight temperature fluctuations without visible damage. The main condition is to avoid sudden drops and drafts. Only cacti and succulents are able to cope with such differences without any problems. This is due to the conditions of their natural growth. In nature, such plants withstand intense heat during the day, as well as a serious drop in temperature at night.

Features of the selection of illumination

The required amount of light is the basis for the correct flow of photosynthesis processes. Violation of this regime leads to a slowdown in processes and death of the flower. The easiest way to provide the necessary insolation is to place the pot near the window. But in this case it is also important not to overdo it.

Be aware that some plants require bright sunlight. Others grow better in the shade. Among the main signs of lack of illumination:

• pale leaves;
• strong tilt towards the light source;
• no colors;
• excessive stem elongation;
• dryness of lower leaves.

An excess of insolation is indicated by:

• the appearance of dark or red spots on the leaves;
• lethargy;
• faded color.

In winter, experts recommend placing flowers on the windowsill. Due to the short daylight hours, even those plants that usually prefer shade will not suffer.

Humidity and watering

How often and how much water plants require depends on several factors:

• flower type;
• room temperature;
• soil moisture capacity;
• lighting;
• growth or flowering phase;
• features of the root system and the number of leaves;
• drainage specifics.

In general, the irrigation regime can be represented as follows:

• summer – daily;
• spring – once every two days;
• autumn – once every three or four days;
• winter – once a week or two.

If you have any doubts about the intensity of watering, it is worth remembering that it is better to water the plant more often and a little bit than once, but abundantly. With this approach, it is possible to track the needs of the flower and form your own watering rules.

Feeding and feeding specifics

Flower fertilization is one of the main actions that the owner should take. In their natural habitat, plants are able to independently vary their diet. Houseplants require care from a person. Conventionally, all fertilizers can be divided into the following categories:0003

• Nitrogen. They activate the growth of stems and leaves, but can delay flowering and provoke fungal diseases if applied excessively.
• Phosphate. Increase the number of buds and are responsible for the duration of flowering.
• Potash. Apply when buds appear.

It is important to understand that an excess of nutrients can negatively affect flowers, so it is important to correctly select the amount of fertilizer.

Pest control

Parasites love houseplants as much as the hosts themselves. Among the most common pests:

• Spider mite. It is practically invisible due to its miniature size, but causes noticeable white spots on the leaves.
• Aphid. It is characterized by somewhat large sizes. The danger of this parasite is its rapid reproduction and the ability to infect all the flowers around.
• Mealy beetle. Outwardly, it looks like a white pile or fluff.

Noticing the appearance of pests on the plant, do not panic. Modern manufacturers offer means to combat any parasites. The main thing is to act quickly. Then there is an opportunity to save the flower.

Having figured out how to care for flowers and what to pay attention to, you can safely start creating your own greenhouse at home.

Caring for indoor plants is troublesome, but extremely pleasant. It is on how you take care of home flowers that their growth and flowering depend. Houseplants need your care to meet their basic needs. Leave them in deep shade or out of water and they will die. They will gradually wither without food, and almost all varieties need to be kept in a frost-protected room.

Proper care of houseplants involves providing them with heat, light, water and nutrients. Some flowers, when grown and cared for, additionally require high humidity, fresh air, protection from drafts, etc. There are houseplant care rules that are not essential to the life of the plant. These are simple procedures such as pruning, shaping and cleaning to keep the plants looking their best.

Rules for the care of indoor plants

Success in growing flowers at home does not require hard work or high skill. However, you should follow the rules for caring for indoor plants. Remember that extremes in watering, nutrition, etc. can kill plants. Do not forget also that there is a dormant period, usually in winter, when much less water, food and warmth are required. Remove withered leaves and wilted flowers and watch for pests and diseases. Sympathize with the poor outdoor gardeners who have to work through wind and rain to dig holes, hoe weeds and mow lawns!

Watch your houseplants before taking care of them. Spend a couple of minutes every few days looking closely at the leaves, stems, and compost. By touching the compost, you will know when watering is required. The appearance of the foliage will tell you that something is wrong with watering, temperature, lighting, nutrition or air humidity. Some people grow houseplants for years without actually looking at them or bothering to find out what the leaves have to tell them.

Houseplant Care: Temperature Control

Most houseplants come from warm regions of the world. This has led many people to the erroneous belief that these plants need temperatures higher than normal room temperatures. In fact, few plants will thrive well in normal room conditions at temperatures above 24°C.

Almost all indoor plants will benefit from a temperature of 13-24°C. Some grow quite successfully in slightly cool rooms from the point of view of human comfort. There are exceptions to this general rule of houseplant care – many flowering potted plants need a maximum temperature of 16°C in winter, and some heat-loving varieties require a minimum of 16°C.

Most plants can tolerate temperatures slightly above or below their preferred temperature for short periods. The real enemy is excessive temperature fluctuations. For most plants, a drop in temperature of 3-6°C at night is beneficial, but a sharp drop in temperature of 11°C can be harmful or cause death. It may be necessary to move pots from window sills in frosty weather.

Cacti and succulents are an exception. Large fluctuations in temperature are not a problem for them, because in their desert homeland they have adapted to hot days and cold nights.

How to take care of house flowers: light regimen

There are two aspects to lighting. The first is duration. Almost all plants require 12 to 16 hours of daylight or fairly strong artificial light to maintain active growth. Shorter lighting duration will slow down the synthesis of nutrients, which is why the dormant period of deciduous plants in winter is not disturbed by bright but short sunny days.

The second aspect is the intensity of the light regime – in contrast to the duration, the need for it varies from plant to plant. Some varieties grow well on a sunny window sill, but quickly decline in a shady corner; others will grow in light shade but cannot survive in direct sunlight.

Walking from a sunny window to the corner of a room you will walk to about 2.5 m shade. Walking back to the window, you may not notice much change, but the light intensity will drop by about 95% over this short distance.

Leaves and stems of plants on the windowsill lean towards the glass. To prevent one-sided growth, it is necessary to turn the pot from time to time. Make only a small turn at a time. Do not turn the pot of a flowering plant when it is in bud.

A flowering plant will suffer if it is moved from a place with recommended lighting to a shady one. The quality and quantity of colors depend on both the duration and the intensity of the light. Without adequate lighting, the foliage may grow beautifully, but the floral ornamental will inevitably disappoint.

An ornamental leaf plant can be suddenly moved from its ideal position to a shady spot without adverse effects. It will survive, but it will not develop. Move him back to a lighted area for about a week every 1-2 months to allow him to recuperate.

The plant should not be suddenly moved from a shady spot to a sunny windowsill or outdoor garden. Let it acclimate for a few days, moving daily to an increasingly bright spot.

Growing and caring for indoor flowers: air humidity

When you turn on the radiator, which warms up the cold air in winter, the room becomes comfortable, but the amount of water vapor in the air decreases. The air becomes “dry”, that is, the relative humidity of the air drops, so growing and caring for indoor flowers in such conditions is very difficult.

In general, houseplants need less warm air and more humid air than you think. Due to central heating in the dead of winter, the air takes on the relative humidity of the Sahara Desert. Plants are rarely able to develop normally under such conditions – many ornamental plants and most flowering plants will suffer if the air humidity around the leaves is insufficient. You can avoid the problem by finding a damp place for your plants, such as the kitchen or bathroom.

You can use a humidifier to increase the relative humidity in the entire room. However, it is much more common to use methods that create a humid microclimate around the plants, while the atmosphere in the rest of the room remains dry, as before.

There are three main ways to increase the humidity around plants. They are described on this page. For plants that originate from the jungle, these methods may not be enough to ensure their active growth in a centrally heated room.

These plants will take advantage of the humid atmosphere of a glass garden. An orchidarium is a useful way to keep Phalaenopsis in bloom for many months. Place a 5 cm layer of expanded clay on the bottom of a regular glass aquarium and set the pots on it. Pour water to cover the lower half of the expanded clay layer – do not completely cover the layer. It is necessary to ensure that the water level in the lower part of the orchidarium remains approximately at the middle of the expanded clay level mark.

Spraying for indoor flowers

Spray warm water in the morning to dry the foliage before dark. Do not spray in bright sunlight. Spraying provides more than a temporary increase in moisture. It cools on hot sunny days, inhibits the spread of red spider mites and reduces leaf dust.

Plants grown in potted groups and indoor gardens have increased moisture around the leaves. The best way to increase air humidity is to use a pebble tray. Make sure there is enough space between the plants to avoid gray rot.

Using a double pot when growing house flowers

When growing house flowers, it is best to purchase a double pot. This will provide consistent soil moisture needed for good plant growth. True, this recommendation does not apply to cacti – they do not need constant soil moisture.

Place the pot in an outer waterproof container and fill the space between them with moist compost. Keep this material completely and constantly wet so that water always evaporates from its surface, increasing the relative humidity of the air.

Nutrient nutrition for indoor plants

Nutrient nutrition for indoor plants is necessary to maintain sufficient nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in the soil with a small amount of micronutrients.

Fertilizers are commonly used in the garden to replenish soil nutrients, but even in the absence of fertilizers, the plant can continue to use nutrients from the soil by spreading new roots. Indoors, the situation is completely different. Potted compost contains a limited amount of nutrients and is constantly being depleted by the plant’s roots and leaching through drainage holes. During active growth of plants, it is necessary to feed them regularly, as soon as the nutrients are exhausted. Cacti can survive without food for long periods of time, but vigorous ornamental foliage and flowering plants can be seriously harmed if not fed.

The composts contain enough nutrients for about 2 months after transplanting. After that, vegetative plants will need to be fed. Regular top dressing is required during the growth and flowering season – from spring to autumn for ornamental foliage and most flowering plants, and in winter for winter-flowering species. During the dormant period, feeding should be reduced.

Houseplant fertilizers are almost always complex, containing nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. There are universal top dressings, but there are also special preparations for cacti, citrus fruits and ferns. Orchids are best fed with the preparations recommended specifically for them.

What fertilizers are available for indoor flowers

The question of what fertilizers for indoor flowers can be purchased in specialized stores is of concern to many growers. As a rule, all fertilizers consist of three basic components: potassium, nitrogen, phosphorus. In addition, trace elements are present in all fertilizers for houseplants. However, it is necessary to take into account the fact that each individual plant needs different ratios of these elements. Therefore, when purchasing fertilizers for indoor flowers, carefully study the instructions and conclude whether this drug is suitable for your plants.

Fertilizer for indoor plants: tablets and granules

There are slow-acting fertilizers for feeding indoor flowers in tablets and granules. They are placed on the surface or buried in compost where they slowly release their nutrients over a period of time. This is convenient, but the supply of fertilizers cannot be adjusted according to the season, and their distribution in the compost is uneven. These problems do not occur with liquid top dressings.

What fertilizers to feed indoor plants

There is general agreement that the most effective way to feed houseplants in pots is to use a liquid fertilizer. Watering and nutrition is carried out in one operation – the recommended amount of fertilizer is added to the water and applied during irrigation. Such fertilizers for indoor plants avoid overfeeding, and if necessary, the amount of fertilizer can be reduced or eliminated. In order to correctly determine which fertilizers to feed indoor plants, carefully study the instructions and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

Fertilizing indoor plants with a bottle dropper

Bottle droppers are a type of auto-fertilization that has appeared in recent years. In order to fertilize indoor flowers in this way, you need to insert a plastic bottle with a diluted fertilizer neck into the compost. Original, but may look ugly in the composition and, as in the case of tablets, the distribution of nutrients in the pot is uneven.

Polishing houseplant leaves when growing and caring for flowers

Dust spoils the appearance of foliage and blocks leaf pores. It forms a light-reducing screen, and in some industrial areas is likely to contain chemicals that damage plants. Therefore, dust, when it becomes visible on the leaves, must be removed. Usually the leaves are washed with clean water with a syringe or sponge. Wash your plants early in the day to dry them out before dark. If the foliage is very dirty, lightly wipe it with a soft cloth before washing. If this is not done, then when the water dries, difficult-to-wash stains will remain. Remember to support the leaves with your hand when washing. For young foliage, it is better to use a syringe rather than a sponge. Cacti, succulents and plants with hairy leaves do not need to be sprayed or washed – use a soft brush to remove dust.

Even clean foliage tends to look dull and faded with age. Many substances are suitable for polishing the leaves of houseplants, but their choice should be taken with care. Olive oil adds shine, but it also collects dust.

It is best to purchase a product designed specifically for plants. Aerosols are easy to use and most convenient. Liquid preparations are used by gently rubbing the leaves with the soaked liquid. Ready-made napkins for polishing are popular.

Young leaves should not be polished and never pressure on the surface of the leaves. Before use, read the label – it will contain a list of plants that do not need to be processed.

How to prune indoor flowers: trimming plants at home

Trimming indoor flowers is not as complicated as it might seem at first. The growing point of the stem is removed by pinching. This is done with the thumb and forefinger or scissors. Pruning is the removal of excess growth. To do this, use secateurs or scissors. Cleaning refers to the removal of dead leaves, damaged parts and withered flowers.

Pinching is used to induce branching in bushy and ampelous plants such as Coleus, Tradescantia and Pilea. Pruning is used on some climbing plants to get the opposite result. Choose one or more main shoots and shape them as required by the design; weak side shoots are carefully cut out at the point of their departure from the main stem.

The appearance of many plants will soon deteriorate if they are not regularly trimmed and cleaned. Pruning of indoor plants such as creepers, ivy and climbing philodendron is done in the spring. At the same time, stems with abnormally small and pale leaves are removed. Always prune too long branches and old leafless stems. Removing dead flowers can extend the flowering period of many species.

Before cutting houseplants, get good, sharp scissors. Prune flowering plants with care – there are no general rules for them. Some, such as fuchsia, geraniums and hydrangeas, produce flowers on new growth. Others bloom on last year’s shoots.

Houseplant care and shaping photos

When caring for houseplants, shaping plays a decisive role in ensuring that the stems are as decorative as possible.
