I believe that many small partners hope to be able to decorate their homes comfortably, warmly and vibrantly, so it is certainly indispensable to use plants as decorations.
Decorate life with plants to make the space full of greenery
Plants can be placed in every corner of the home
However, some friends may not have good lighting conditions in their homes, in this case, what kind of plants should we choose to add color to our homes? The following Xiaobian has brought five very beautiful family plants that do not require direct sunlight, let's learn it together
NO.1 Watermelon peel pepper grass
Watermelon peel (Peperomia argyreia)
Watermelon peel pepper grass is also called "watercress green pepper grass", its leaves color and shape are very similar to watermelon, the plant shape is compact, will not take up too much space, so it is very suitable for planting at home.
Light: To maintain optimal growth and foliar gloss, bright non-direct light is required to medium light, the brighter the better, and the scattered light effect will be better throughout the day. Avoid direct sunlight, otherwise it will burn the foliage, leaving unsightly brown spots. To ensure balanced growth, orientation needs to be adjusted every 3 to 4 weeks.
Temperature: Prefer warm places, growing at a temperature between 18 and 27 °C during the day and not less than 15 °C at night.
Watering: Use pots with drainage holes and water thoroughly when watering. Prolonged soaking can lead to rotting roots and eventually dying, and lack of water can cause the leaves to curl and turn brown at the top, eventually causing the plant to die.
NO.2 Crocodile fern
Crocodile fern (Microsorum musifolium ' Crocodyllus'
The leaves of the crocodile fern are as smooth and textured as the skin of reptiles, and in their natural habitat, the crocodile fern can grow to about 1.5 meters tall. If properly illuminated and maintained, it can also grow savagely indoors.
Illumination: Bright non-direct light to low light are suitable, can be placed in front of the northeast window. Like all ferns, crocodile ferns should avoid direct sunlight or burn the leaf surface, drying out the edges of the leaves and even causing plant death. To achieve balanced growth, adjust the orientation every 3 to 4 weeks.
Temperature: Remember, this is a tropical plant, so it's best to keep it in a very warm place. The growth temperature is between 18 and 27 °C during the day and not less than 15 °C at night.
Watering: Crocodile ferns like water, but also pay attention to the fact that there is no water in the basin. If your home is relatively dry, foliar sprays can be done weekly.
NO.3 Green apple arrowroot
Green apple arrowroot (Calathea orbifolia)
Native to Bolivia, the green apple arrowroot has beautiful table tennis paddle-like leaves with striking pale green and dark green stripes. Although not every family environment is suitable for raising this plant, as long as it is in the right environment, it can grow quite large and become a "C-bit plant" (center plant, protagonist plant) in the home.
Light: To keep the leaves vibrant and shiny, the perfect shot is medium intensity and avoid direct sunlight, adjusting the orientation every 3 to 4 weeks.
Temperature: Green apple arrowroot likes a cool and not too cold temperature, the growth temperature during the day is 18 ~ 27 °C, at night is not less than 15 °C.
Watering: Like most snapdragon plants, green apple arrowroot needs to keep the soil moist, so watering should be slightly more frequent, with weekly foliar spraying.
NO.4 Roundleaf shaft palm
Licuala grandis
It is believed that palm will be one of the most popular plants in the next few years, growing to 1.5 ~ 1.8 meters tall. They can be placed in a suitable place and allowed to grow freely.
Light: Bright non-direct light is required to maintain optimal growth. It is better to place it near a window with sunlight so that it receives scattered light throughout the day (direct sunlight should be avoided). To achieve balanced growth, adjust the orientation every 3 to 4 weeks.
Temperature: With reference to the tropical climate, find a warm place in your home where the temperature is between 18 and 27 °C, not less than 18 °C, and keep it at 23 °C perfectly.
Watering: The soil needs to be kept moist. Insert your finger into the soil at least 2.5 cm deep, and if the soil on your finger is wet enough, you don't need to water it. Too much watering can cause the leaves to turn yellow and can also cause the roots to rot. Water less during the cold winter months, but check the soil moisture frequently with your fingers.
NO.5 Bengal Banyan Tree
Benghalensis 'Audrey'
Banyan bengali is a plant comparable to Ficus Lycaensis and can grow to about 6 meters tall in the wild. If you have a Banyan tree in your house, although it won't grow as tall indoors as it does in the wild, leave it plenty of room to stretch its branches.
Light: Bright non-direct light is required to maintain optimal growth, and scattered light (windows with sunlight) throughout the day will be better. Do not place next to west-facing windows, as strong direct light from west-facing windows in the afternoon can burn the leaves, creating yellow and brown spots. To ensure balanced growth, adjust the orientation every 3 to 4 weeks.
Temperature: 18 ~ 27 °C during the day, not less than 15 °C at night. Simulate its natural growth environment as much as possible.
Watering: For banyan trees and most other tropical plants, watering is required only when the top 5 cm surface soil layer is completely dry. Use your finger to insert into the soil to determine whether the soil is dry or moist. Do not accumulate water in the basin, otherwise it will cause rotten roots. If the home is relatively dry, foliar spray is given weekly.
