Indoor flowering plants

Many outdoor flowering plants such as miniature roses, hydrangeas, chrysanthemums and azaleas, can be carried inside, where, with irrigation and adequate light, flowery stay for a week or more. But over time the flowers wilt and the plants were returned to lead the outside or are discarded.




However, some plants grow well indoors year-round and bloom repeatedly. Here's some of the best:

The tail cat (Acalypha hispida) produce bud-like tail cat, hairy, long and red hanging from the ends of the branches. Grow best under the intense light and high humidity, ideal for sunny windows in the kitchen.

Bromeliads are plants tubular, succulent produce high spikes of dazzling flowers. There are many types to choose from, some with brightly colored foliage. Growing under light tension and indirect loose soil that is kept on the dry side. Some are epiphytes (grow naturally in the bark of trees) and can be grown on pieces of wood, cork and dry branches.



African violets (Saintpaulia) are plants with delicate leaves and beautiful hair bud clusters of white, red, pink and violet. Prefer indirect light, moisture and fertilization regular uniform.

The Christmas cactus (Schlumbergera) is a plant that falls in the form of pendants cascading with succulent branches and the tips are bright red-pink bud near Christmas. Flowers best with indirect light and the nights long and cold in November. Fertilize and water regularly.



The spathiphyllums, sometimes known as peace lilies, are a thriving indoor plants more reliable. Leaves shiny, dark green bud are topped with striking bright white with intense tropical feeling. Some types are small plants, only one or two feet (0.30-0.60 m), others can reach 6 feet (1.8 m). The higher the floor, the larger will be the bud. Flourishes best under the glare indirect but grow well under low light. Water regularly and fertilize often.

How to grow indoor flowering plants


Each plant has its own burgeoning domestic requirements when it comes to bloom, but most grow best in indirect light as you can find near (but not directly under the sun) in a window facing west or south. Keep plants away from cold drafts and keep the vigorous growth with regular watering and fertilization.

Floating Plants

Floating plants
Are those that grow freely floating on the water surface without the need for root or in pots on the bottom, so they are easier to place. To put down roots and seek their own placement. All they need is sun. They are excellent to combat algae and competing for all resources needed for their growth and block much of the sun.

Absorb large amounts of dissolved nutrients in the water and shade to reduce the temperature and light levels of the water. His only maintenance is to remove those that are wilted. As they feed on the nutrients they purchase water through the microscopic pillars of their roots, so they need not pay in the autumn but in spring, with a special liquid fertilizer for aquatic plants in ponds.

There are some species that multiply very quickly and need a regular pick, as in Pistia stratiodes.

There is usually some floating ice, but is cut in the spring frost and the leaves sprout again.

Example: Azolla filiculoides, Eichhornia crassipes, Hydrocharis morsus-frog Hydroryza aristata, Lemna gibba, Lemna minor, Limnobium laevigatum, stratiodes Pistia, Salvinia auriculata, Salvinia biloba, Salvinia minima, Salvinia molesta, Spirodela intermedia, Stratiotes aloides, Wolffiella oblonga.
