Most flora representatives need sunlight, because it is thanks to him in leaves, stems are important processes of vital activity of the plant. Offer to pay attention to the list of 5 wonderful representatives of the world of plants that take root in a dark apartment.
Top 5 shade-tolerant houseplants
As the owner of a small and dark apartment, located on the first floor, where the windows look yard bushes, I can say that all the seats are occupied on the window sill close Spathiphyllum and geraniums. But we want to draw the depth and interiors home greens. I help out the ones listed below.
arrowroot
Very beautiful plant with rather large dark green oval leaves. Depending on the lighting and varieties have leaves or a pale green or bright burgundy pattern of veins.
It is noteworthy that when the sun goes down and night falls, arrowroot leaves curl up into a tube and slightly raised up. In the early morning plant leaf straightens, delighting the eye with its beautiful owner.
Well tolerated darkened corners of the apartment, requires copious irrigation and spraying, as in nature lives in marshy areas. Arrowroot blossoms with small pale pink or white flowers. Gentle and quite aromatic, but beautiful color.
Fitton
This beautiful plant, which is a clear advantage are its wonderful painted veined leaves. The plant is not high, stem creeping, densely dotted with small, colorful leaves. Figure veins washes to be white and green, pink or rich.
Fitton quite capricious plant. In my house it's no wonder, standing on a high cupboard directly under the ceiling. Of course, it grew much more slowly than, for example, when standing on the windowsill. But it is incredibly decorated room.
Fitton is tolerant to the dark corners of the room, on a window sill feels good, but do not like direct sunlight.
Important! Do not forget to water it! Due to the lack of moisture and stems Fiton sheets become slack and lose their attractiveness. I watered twice a week, 150 ml of water in a pot 20 cm in diameter.
epipremnum
This bright green vine you must have seen. Absolutely undemanding plant that can survive in schools, hospitals and unfriendly state institutions where care of flowers mediocre. The stem is long and strong, branching and growing quite rapidly. Its pretty Ryasno strewn thick fleshy bright light green leaves are very beautiful shape, somewhat resembling a heart.
Epipremnum unique with its vitality and ability to please the eye with their beauty in a truly Spartan conditions. Not fastidious to sunlight, is able to live in the dry winter air, and did not need spraying. But if you offer him swimming once a week, the plant will be grateful.
Nephrolepis
My favorite plant! I noticed that about him we can not say that it does not like the light. It clearly does not tolerate direct sunlight, but in the scattered light quiet in dire need.
He loves abundant watering and regular care of lush bright green curly foliage. Nephrolepis - this room fern. Wonderful flower! Its only disadvantage: if the wrong care throws in a lot of yellowing leaves, which adds to the hassle of regular cleaning.
Anthurium
You may have heard about this beautiful houseplant with the other hand. It is called by the people "men's happiness." Why? Answer I do not have. I drew attention to him only by considering its shade-tolerant quality. I will say this, he does not like only aggressive sunlight and burns.
The rest of the flower is difficult without light. Its definitely worth a place on the north side sills, a deep well-lit rooms. In the dark corners of anthurium is very slow growing and developing, and much worse blooms.
I'm still in search of the most unpretentious plant for apartments, which for its greenery and unusual leaves can help me transform the home. About his new discoveries will tell you in the next article.
