Begonia

Begonias are a bright, easy-to-care for blooms and can be used to fill out containers or as an accent. They come in a range of colors and shapes and include double-flowered varieties which are ideal for cutting. One popular hybrid, 'Non-Stop Series', has flowers that appear to be blooming continuously and is a great choice for an in-container 'thriller'.

The Genus Begoniaceae contains more than 2000 species, a lot of which have colorful flowers or leaves. They are native to subtropical and tropical regions. Begonias can be planted as house plants, and depending on the climate, they could be perennial or annual.

Both begonias require partial shade and a dense, well-draining potting mix which is high in organic content. Fertilize them throughout the growth season using a slow-release or granular organic fertilizer, and apply an even topdressing of the soil each spring.

Tuberous begonias, the most commonly grown garden variety, have large blooms that come in neon-like shades like red, pink orange and purple. most common house plants come in yellow, red, or white. They are available in single or double-flowered varieties, and various sizes, ranging from tiny miniatures to huge. Plant them in borders and beds or as a houseplant and ensure that they are well-watered.

The more common wax begonias have fibrous roots and are used as a spreader, therefore they're the best option for containers. They come in a variety of colors and are typically variegated, with white or yellow spots on green leaves. One example is the 'Bedding Begonia', which has vivid yellow splotches on bright green leaves.

Both begonias are edible, and their petals are a great way to make a tea that will help to prevent headaches, fever and cold symptoms. They contain oxalic acids, which are harmful to people suffering from kidney issues.

Orchid

Orchids are a stunning houseplant that blooms for a long time with beautiful flowers. They are low-maintenance and easy to maintain, but you must consider the changing conditions to ensure they flourish.

The orchid (Orchis) is, unlike many other flowering plants, is monocot. This means that it has only one cotyledon leaf, or embryo. It is famous for its beautiful flowering, fragrant flowers and has long been a sought-after ornamental species. It is also a medicinal plant and its starchy paste makes an excellent food in Mexico for the Day of the Dead celebrations.

There are more than 24,000 varieties of orchids, and each color has its own distinct symbolism. White orchids symbolize elegance, beauty, and purity, while pink ones are a symbol of happiness and love. Purple orchids represent admiration and grandeur, while yellow orchids represent friendship and new beginnings.

The orchid is the strongest flowering plant on Earth that thrives in extreme temperatures and climates. Some claim that the orchid can provide health benefits. The orchid flowers, stems, and bulbs are traditionally used for healing fever, diabetes, kidneys, and lungs.

Many of the orchid's flowers are adapted to attract pollinators in order to reproduce. For example, the Lady's Slipper orchid (Paphiopedilum) has a deep pocket that traps insects in its vicinity, with only one exit that leads to the anthers. They then deposit pollinia on the insect. This is a standard method of reproduction in orchids and some depend completely on this method of pollination. Some orchids employ more specific methods of attracting. The labellum of the poke bonnet orchid, Cypripedium is shaped to resemble an eagle's nest. The labellum is used to draw male insects.

Anthurium

The anthurium plant, also referred to as the flamingo lily can add exotic style to offices and homes. Its gorgeous heart-shaped leaves as well as vibrant blooms can brighten up any living space with minimal maintenance requirements. This exotic beauty is a great choice for new lovers of plants, as it is able to thrive with moderate light and water. Anthuriums are not only attractive and require little maintenance however, they also offer numerous benefits.

NASA has conducted research that has shown that anthuriums can eliminate harmful pollutants from the air. This includes common toxins like formaldehyde, xylene, ammonia and toluene. These harmful chemicals are released through wall paints, rubber furniture made from wood, and even vehicle exhaust. Inhaling these toxins can cause respiratory issues. However, anthuriums can help get rid of these toxins by absorbing the toxins through their leaves.

Anthuriums also improve the cognitive function and concentration through increasing blood flow and decreasing stress levels. They also have medicinal properties and can be used to alleviate muscle aches.

If you're planning to grow anthuriums, make sure you give them plenty of indirect sunlight. They can't take direct sunlight, as it can bleach the leaves. Make sure to mist your plants regularly. A good anthurium fertilizer is high in phosphorus and can be added to the soil to encourage healthy growth. Keep your anthuriums in a pot that is large enough to stop them from becoming root-bound. Roots that are overcrowded can hinder the plant's development and prevent it from flowering.

Crown of Thorns

Crown of thorns A flowering plant of the succulent family, thrives in dry and bright conditions. It can bloom all year round in the appropriate conditions. Its dense fleshy leaves help to store water and alert you when it's thirsty. It's a great indoor plant for those who don't water their plants frequently. It's also easy to propagate, because it produces long peduncles which can be cut off and put in other containers.

This plant could suffer from root rot when the soil is too wet. Crown of thorns is susceptible to pests such as mealybugs and spider mites, so you'll need to get rid of any infestations promptly. This plant can also be an excellent air purifier, removing harmful gases like formaldehyde and benzene.

Crown of Thorns grows best in a sunny area because it needs direct sunlight to produce energy for photosynthesis. It can tolerate light shade, but it won't develop as fast. Watering this plant is simple but it's crucial to remember that it doesn't enjoy sudden temperature changes. It may stop flowering until it adapts to the new climate in the event of shock.


Repotting is only required when the plant has outgrown its container or the soil has become compacted. Repotting is accomplished by cautiously taking out as much soil as you can without damaging the roots. Then, fill the new pot with quick draining soil. Crown of thorns doesn't need much feeding. However, you should give it a diluted solution of fertilizer once every two weeks from spring to summer. identifying house plants can be reduced to once per month in winter, as it doesn't need as much energy to grow in these conditions.

most common house plants aren't as fussy as other houseplants, but they still require a proper home. most common house plants thrive in temperatures from 55 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit, and don't need much in the way of additional humidity. The only exception is if the plants are planted outdoors in containers or gardens. They require to be protected from frost if they are in warmer climates.

Many varieties of kalanchoe produce flowers that can last for up to eight weeks. They are very low maintenance and are easily available in flower shops and garden centres. They are very simple to care for, and are often encouraged to flower again after they have stopped blooming, particularly if the plant is a hybrid, like calandiva or K. Blossfeldiana, which have longer-lasting double flowers.

If you want the kalanchoe plant to bloom again, place it in a sunny area with moderate sunlight. The harsh direct sunlight can hinder the development of buds. It's recommended to remove spent flowers throughout the summer. A fertilizer that is high in phosphorus could trigger continued blooming in the near future.

Kalanchoe can be propagated by making three-inch cut from the tips of branching varieties. Then, root the cuttings in a wet potter's mix, like vermiculite and peat in equal parts. Add horticultural grit to the mix to aid in drainage. Many kalanchoe species reproduce viviparously, which means they grow bulbils or wee baby plants on the edges of their leaves.

These can drop off and then root in the soil they are planted in, or you can gently dislodge them and plant them elsewhere to create new plants of kalanchoe. Kalanchoe is one of the most easy succulents to propagate cuttings.
