Good afternoon, my reader. A wave of nostalgia for everything Soviet is taking over an increasing number of residents of our country. Music, clothes, food. Now it has come down to indoor plants. We present the flowers that grew in every apartment of ordinary citizens of the USSR. Maybe it's time for them to return to our modern homes.

"Birch"
The Latin name for a vine with birch leaves is rhombic roicissus. The leaves of this beautiful and completely unpretentious flower resemble birch, hence its name. It develops well in the shade. "Birch" grows well in a simple flower pot or hanging planter. If you make points of support for it and pull the rope, then it will follow exactly where it is directed. And after a while, dense thickets will delight you. The plant is very convenient to use to decorate an empty corner in a room; it also loves kitchen cabinets (in Soviet times, it was this flower that decorated the kitchens of small apartments).
But some housewives, especially lonely ones, preferred to stay away from such a vine. It was believed that she "drives" men away from their homes. Superstitions are all. Nothing was scientifically proven, so the flower enjoyed well-deserved popularity.
Tradescantia
Another flower from the Soviet era is also very unpretentious, but at the same time quite beautiful. The flower rarely pampered the owners with flowering, but due to the rich crown it was a favorite of Soviet citizens.
Tradescantia was distinguished by a variety of leaf color. They could be bright green or green with white veins, purple or variegated. She is very fond of transplants and responds well to cuttings.
Rapid relocation from one apartment to another occurred almost imperceptibly for the flower - a process simply came off. After a few days spent in a glass of water, the first roots appeared on it. This is enough to be planted in one of the flower pots.
It was believed that Tradescantia "loves" carbon dioxide and produces oxygen well. Therefore, it was often called the kitchen flower.
Sedum
One of the most unpretentious succulents. Among the people, it was also called the monkey's tail. In the book on botany, he is listed as Sedum (sedum) Morgana.
Since childhood, we remember his beautiful hanging shoots. His habitat in apartments is wall pots. The sedum plant loves to bask in the sun, is not picky about watering and can tolerate occasional spraying. An ideal flower for very busy citizens.
And it reproduces very simply. Its modified leaves (preferably several pieces) are simply put on the soil and watered according to the standard scheme - as the earth dries, it is necessary to moisten it. After a while, the bulbs will take root and ovaries form. So a new stonecrop begins to grow.
Bride and groom
This sweet couple grew up on almost every windowsill of simple Soviet apartments. Campanula is the exact name of this beautiful flower. The bride has white flowers, the groom has blue flowers. It is now rarely found in homes and on sale. And before, people gladly exchanged cuttings and shoots with each other.
They won over their lush long flowering and unpretentious care. The plants were planted in different containers, but the pots were always placed side by side. And some preferred to place them in one deep planter. Both options were allowed, because everywhere they bloomed equally well.
