Man cannot live without nature. In today’s world, in a city with many tall buildings, people can not have garden green space, but can only use indoor plants to introduce the freshness of nature into their own rooms, which is the reason why foliage viewing plants have an absolute advantage in indoor plants.
Place several pots of ornamental plants in the bedroom, study or reception room, not only to add color to the family, but also to scan the verdant green “artworks” cultivated by yourself after work or “pen ploughing”. You will feel tired and relaxed.
The foliage viewing plants have colorful leaves with different shapes, which can be evergreen all the year round. Therefore, they can be viewed all the year round without being restricted by the seasons, especially the attitude and color of their leaves. Secondly, foliage viewing plants are more shade tolerant and prefer warm and humid environments. In terms of light and nutrients, the demand for foliage viewing plants is much lower than that for flower viewing and fruit viewing plants. Some ornamental plants also have the above characteristics of foliage plants, such as oleander, orchid, clivia, flamingo, crane, etc.
Most of the foliage plants are ideal materials for indoor greening and decoration. I believe that in the near future, foliage plants will enter thousands of households.
In general, potted plants raised indoors in families do not grow as well as outdoors, because they are limited by natural conditions such as light, air and humidity. Especially for some sunny pines, cypresses, roses, Milan, pomegranates and other flowers and fruit trees, it is not only difficult to keep them indoors for a long time, but also difficult to support them. However, some foliage plants with strong shade tolerance and various succulent plants can also be cultured well in the room as long as attention is paid to fertilizer and water management and air circulation. Clivia is placed on the table close to the window and facing the sun all the year round.
Domestic potted flowers grow slowly or do not grow. In addition to the two reasons of not applying fertilizer and not changing pots, insufficient light and excessive watering are the main reasons. Although the light is insufficient and the fertilizer is often applied, the sun loving flowers will still not grow well, and the branches and leaves will not be luxuriant, showing a disease of thin and large leaves and long internodes. Although some balcony potted flowers are well lit, they are watered too much, and the basin soil is waterlogged, resulting in suffocation of the root, which will still not grow, or even die. Insufficient light and excessive water will also make the leaves slender, crisp and tender, scorched edge and fall off, especially when the temperature is low. This situation is prominent in Milan, Magnolia and other flowers, especially in Magnolia. It is important to note that this is not the scorched edge and fallen leaves caused by drought. Do not water more, or it will kill them.
