Thuja or juniper - which is better? This question can sometimes be heard in garden centers and in the market where these plants are sold. It is, of course, not entirely correct and correct. Well, it’s the same as asking what is better - night or day? Coffee or tea? Woman or man? Surely, everyone will have their own answer and opinion. And yet... What if you approach with an open mind and try to compare juniper and thuja according to certain objective parameters? Let's try.
Brown Cream of Cauliflower Soup with Crispy Smoked Bacon is a delicious, smooth and creamy soup that both adults and children will love. If you are preparing a dish for the whole family, including kids, then do not add a lot of spices, although many modern children are not at all against spicy flavors. Bacon for serving can be prepared in different ways - fry in a frying pan, as in this recipe, or bake in the oven on parchment for about 20 minutes at 180 degrees.
For some, the time of sowing seeds for seedlings is a long-awaited and pleasant chores, for some it is a difficult necessity, while others are wondering whether it would be easier to buy ready seedlings at the market or with friends? Be that as it may, even if you gave up growing vegetable crops, for sure, you will still have to sow something. These are flowers and perennials, conifers and much more. A seedling is still a seedling, no matter what you sow.
amateur humid air and one of the most compact and rare orchids pafinia is a real star for most orchid growers. Its flowering rarely lasts longer than a week, but it can be an unforgettable sight. You want to look at the unusual striped patterns on the huge flowers of the modest orchid endlessly. IN indoor culture pafinia is rightly ranked among the difficult-to-grow species. It became fashionable only with the spread of interior terrariums.
Pumpkin ginger marmalade is a warming sweet that can be prepared almost all year round. Pumpkin keeps for a long time - sometimes I manage to save a few vegetables until summer, fresh ginger and lemons are always available these days. Lemon can be replaced with lime or orange to create different flavors - variety in sweets is always nice. The finished marmalade is placed in dry jars; it can be stored at room temperature, but it is always healthier to prepare fresh products.
In 2014, the Japanese company Takii seed introduced petunia with a striking petal color - salmon-orange. By association with bright colors southern sunset sky, the unique hybrid is called African Sunset. Needless to say, this petunia instantly won the hearts of gardeners and was in great demand. But in the last two years, the curiosity has suddenly disappeared from store windows. Where did the orange petunia go?
In our family Bell pepper they love it, that’s why we plant it every year. Most of the varieties that I grow have been tested by me for more than one season; I cultivate them constantly. I also try to try something new every year. Pepper is a heat-loving plant and quite whimsical. Varietal and hybrid varieties of tasty and productive sweet peppers, which grow well for me, will be discussed further. I live in middle lane Russia.
Meat cutlets with broccoli in béchamel sauce - great idea for a quick lunch or dinner. Start by preparing the mince and at the same time heat 2 liters of water to a boil to blanch the broccoli. By the time the cutlets are fried, the cabbage will be ready. All that remains is to collect the ingredients in a frying pan, season with sauce and bring to readiness. Broccoli needs to be cooked quickly to retain its vibrant color. green color, which, when cooked for a long time, either fades or the cabbage turns brown.
Home floriculture- Not only exciting process, but also a very troublesome hobby. And, as a rule, the more experience a grower has, the healthier his plants look. What should those who do not have experience do, but want to have indoor plants at home - not elongated, stunted specimens, but beautiful and healthy ones that do not cause a feeling of guilt with their fading? For beginners and gardeners who are not burdened long experience, I’ll tell you about the main mistakes that are easy to avoid.
Lush cheesecakes in a frying pan with banana-apple confiture - another recipe for everyone’s favorite dish. To prevent cheesecakes from falling off after cooking, remember a few simple rules. Firstly, only fresh and dry cottage cheese, secondly, no baking powder or soda, thirdly, the thickness of the dough - you can sculpt from it, it is not tight, but pliable. Good dough with a small amount of flour you will only get good cottage cheese, but here again see the “firstly” point.
It is no secret that many drugs from pharmacies have migrated to summer cottages. Their use, at first glance, seems so exotic that some summer residents are perceived with hostility. At the same time, potassium permanganate is a long-known antiseptic that is used in both medicine and veterinary medicine. In plant growing, a solution of potassium permanganate is used both as an antiseptic and as a fertilizer. In this article we will tell you how to properly use potassium permanganate in the garden.
Meat salad pork with mushrooms - a rural dish that can often be found on festive table in the village. This recipe is with champignons, but if possible, use Forest mushrooms, then be sure to cook it this way, it will be even tastier. You don’t need to spend a lot of time preparing this salad - put the meat in a pan for 5 minutes and another 5 minutes for slicing. Everything else happens practically without the participation of the cook - the meat and mushrooms are boiled, cooled, and marinated.
Cucumbers grow well not only in a greenhouse or conservatory, but also in open ground. Typically, cucumbers are sown from mid-April to mid-May. Harvesting in this case is possible from mid-July to the end of summer. Cucumbers cannot tolerate frost. That's why we don't sow them too early. However, there is a way to bring their harvest closer and taste the juicy beauties from your garden at the beginning of summer or even in May. It is only necessary to take into account some of the features of this plant.
Poliscias – great alternative classic variegated shrubs and trees. The elegant round or feathery leaves of this plant create a strikingly festive curly crown, and its elegant silhouettes and rather modest character make it an excellent candidate for the role of the largest plant in the house. More large leaves do not prevent it from successfully replacing Benjamin and Co. ficuses. Moreover, polyscias offers much more variety.
Introduction.

Create a cozy atmosphere
Enrich the air with oxygen
Clean it up and
Disinfect.

The world of indoor plants is many-sided and multifaceted. I just want to have the most beautiful ones on the windowsill beautiful flowers. Lovers of indoor plants do not always purchase new items in specialized stores or greenhouses. Potted flowers are not cheap. Having seen it with friends strange plant, you can replenish your collection yourself.
The propagation of indoor plants has its own characteristics. There are several ways to grow flowers in an apartment, they depend on the type of plant. Some of them have no idea special labor, even novice gardeners can handle them. Other breeding methods are only suitable for experienced indoor plant lovers.
Most often, when propagating flowers, they use the vegetative method. Thanks to it, you can get a new plant that will fully retain its original characteristics, varietal purity and other properties. Flowers grown vegetatively bloom earlier than those grown from seeds.
Pieces of stems, leaves, roots, and bulbs are suitable for growing. In addition, many plants, especially if their historical homeland is humid subtropics, do not form seeds. They are not available, for example, on:
- aloe and ficus;
- tradescantia and
- , curculigo.
There are many ways of growing season, each with its own characteristics and secrets.
Using the underground part
Peculiarities of propagation of bulbous flowers
Bulbs are used to obtain new plants from:
- hippeastrum;
- marshmallow;
- Hymenocallis and other bulbous plants.
The babies are located in the axils of the mother's bulb - a modified stem. Annual indoor plants need to be replanted annually using young bulbs.
In some plants, the baby bulbs are very small and require growing for about three years. After this they need to be transplanted to permanent place. To planting material takes root faster, the pot must be covered with glass.
Propagation by tubers
Many plants have an underground part - a tuber - a thick, fleshy shoot that retains nutrients, provides normal development indoor flower.
Planting material is dug up for germination. After the eyes (buds) appear, it is cut. Each piece should have up to two eyes. The cuttings are placed in disinfected bowls with prepared soil.
A similar method of vegetation is inherent in the plants that Russians most often grow:
- cyclamens, oxalis;
- , caladium;
- sorrel, ;
- anemones, gesneriaceae.
Features of using root suckers
To propagate indoor plants such as agave, agave, and clivia, root suckers are used. They form on the roots of an old bush. The attractiveness of planting material is that each offspring already has its own root system.
If you plan to transplant immediately mother bush V new pot, then the offspring choose in the process of work. This applies to clivia. In other cases, a part of the plant is simply cut off with a sharp knife and transplanted to a permanent place. This is what they do with aloe and agave.
Dividing a bush is a good option
Getting a new houseplant by dividing a bush is the most common method. This is how they grow:
- asparagus;
- violets;
- Saintpaulia;
- chlorophytums;
- cyperus;
- ferns.
Plants develop stems that have their own root system.
How the work is done:
- After removing the plant from the container, you need to shake off the soil and inspect the underground part.
- All shoots, leaves, and roots that are damaged are removed.
- Aspidistra and asparagus are cut off small plant, the violet has a rosette.
All divisions should have roots and shoots with leaves. On the donor plant, you need to remove dense roots that resemble plugs.
New plants and the mother bush are transplanted into prepared pots. Used for irrigation warm water by adding complex fertilizer.
How to get a new flower from leaves
There are three ways:
- whole leaf;
- a piece of leaf;
- whole leaf with petiole.
Leaf without division
Whole leaves are used for plants with thick, succulent leaves, like Rex begonia.
Propagation by whole begonia leaf
The veins of the prepared planting material are cut from below. Before propagation, planting material is dried. In a container with good soil Coarse sand is poured on top and spilled. The sheet should be placed with the bottom side and pressed a little.
A piece of leaf
This option is suitable for:
- Mason Begonias;
- sansevierias;
- Streptocarpus.
The leaves are cut into pieces no larger than five centimeters. Planting is done using prepared soil. You can use compositions for indoor flowers, which are sold in specialized stores. The leaf plate should not come into contact with the soil; it should be supported by a support.
While creating favorable conditions (high humidity warm air and watering), the root system is formed quickly.
Whole leaf with petiole
Leaf with petiole - good material for getting:
- Saintpaulium;
- begonia.
The sheet must be taken from healthy plant at the base. Use a sharp knife for cutting. The length of the petiole is usually 1 or 3-4 cm.
Propagation by leaf cuttings of Saintpaulia
You can get the root system in different ways:
- Place the leaf in a container of water. The petiole should be long, up to 4 cm.
- When rooting in the ground, the petiole is shortened to one centimeter. The cut is treated with a phytohormone solution. The leaf is placed directly into the hole with the bottom side facing the wall of the container. Planting material should not be allowed to come into contact with the ground.
Cuttings
Parts of the stem, leaf cuttings or unattractive plant stems are used as planting material for propagation by cuttings.
Stem cuttings
Some indoor plants can be propagated by part of the stem. Cuttings are taken from a healthy shoot no older than one year, cut into pieces no more than 8 cm long. Each of them should have two internodes and 2-3 leaves.
Propagation of geranium by cuttings
All leaves are removed from the bottom. Having cut the shoot by 1.5-2 cm, it is kept in a special solution, promoting growth. After this, place it in a pot with quality soil. It is impossible to bury more than 2 cm. After watering, put on top plastic bag. Cuttings are carried out from March to May
Root directly in the soil:
- olive, eugenia and myrtle;
- callistemons, plumbago, pomegranates;
- pelargoniums, begonias;
- fuchsias, hibiscus, geraniums.
They quickly take root in an aquatic environment:
- epipremnuma, monstera;
- syngoniums, scindaptus.
As for hibiscus, myrtle, and ficus, rooting in water is successful, but if the plants fall into the ground, the roots may die. We'll have to wait for new ones to appear. Subsequently, the plants lag behind in development.
Leaf cuttings
If indoor flower has short stems or a rosette; it will have to be propagated by leaf cuttings.
This is what you do with:
- , Kalanchoe; Begonia Rex;
- zamiocalcas, Uzumbara violet;
- Crassula, Crassula, Echeveria;
- ficus, echeveria, some lilies.
The leaf stalk is cut and placed in a moist substrate. Glass is placed on the container. After a while, small plants grow in the places where the cuts are made. Leaf cuttings You can get new flowers from May until the end of July.
Get new lily maybe from scales. They need to be separated from the bulb along with a piece of the bottom on which the plant is formed.
Propagation by a piece of stem
Unattractive stems appear on dracaena, dieffenbachia, and cordyline, which have decorated the apartment for many years. In this case, the stem itself is used to produce a new plant.
The cut stalk should be 5-7 cm long, with an internode. The lower part of the planting material is deepened into the ground. It should be noted that such reproduction does not always bring the desired results. To prevent the death of the cutting, you need to create a greenhouse condition. This can be done using a bag or a greenhouse.

How else can you propagate indoor flowers?
In addition to the listed methods of propagating indoor plants, there are the following:
- propagation by daughter plants,
- air layering,
- reproduction by whiskers,
- seeds and spores.
Let's look at these types of reproduction in more detail.
The kids are coming
Many indoor plants produce daughter plants, which are popularly called children.
Children are formed from:
Formed children on faded guzmania
- Kostenza bulbiferous, Kalanchoe Degremon;
- Saxifraga, Tholmia Menzies;
- multirow, Chlorophytum crested;
- cyperus alternate-leaved, pancratium;
- , Krinum and many others.
Let's consider the method of reproduction in more detail:
- In pancratium, hippeastrum, and crinum, children grow next to the mother plant. They are simply transplanted.
- On Kalanchoe - directly on the leaves, on cacti - on the stem. Daughter plants should be placed on moist soil. Watering is stopped for a couple of days. Root system develops quickly, penetrates the soil, and the plant begins to grow.
- On Frisia, Aechmea, Cryptanthus, the place of development of daughter plants is the subcotyledon. There is no need to rush into separating the children: work begins when the daughter plant grows to the middle of the mother bush.
Reproduction by air layering
This method is rarely used due to its complexity. It is beyond the power of beginners, but experienced flower growers experimenting.
In fact, propagation by layering is the oldest method; it is also called “Chinese”. This option is suitable for:
- rubber and lyre-bearing ficuses;
- hibiscus, dracaena;
- Scheffler and Monster.
The shoot is not separated from the main plant. The stem is cut to a third of its thickness at an angle. After this they process special compounds stimulating the growth of the root system. A match is inserted into the incision site to prevent it from overgrowing.
Place a film and add wet moss to the place where the new plant will develop. The film is fixed at the top and bottom. As the moss dries, add water. It takes several months for the root to form.
When the roots are clearly visible, the film must be removed. Using a sharp knife, cut the stalk and plant it in a permanent place.
Reproduction by mustache
The mustache is well developed in:
- chlorophytum;
- epics;
- Saxifraga.
In fact, ready-made planting material with a formed root system grows on the mother plant. The mustache is cut off and planted in the prepared substrate. All that remains is to water.
Reproduction by seeds and spores
- Propagation by seeds
Indoor plants practically do not receive it. This is a very complex method that requires not only special knowledge, but also the creation of certain conditions.
Although experienced flower growers know several plants that reproduce only by seeds. This is exacum and thunbergia.
Pour a high-quality substrate into the pot and tamp it down a little. Spill hot water. After cooling, sow the seeds. If they are large, then sprinkle soil on top. Small seeds are left on the surface. The pot is covered with cellophane and placed with warm place. For seed germination, a temperature of 16 to 20 degrees is required.
When the first sprout appears, the bag is removed and the pot is placed in a bright window.
Remember
Plants are afraid of straight lines sun rays! Water as the top lump of earth dries out. To keep the plants even, they are turned daily. Picking seedlings is carried out when the plants are stronger.
- Reproduction by spores
Fern-like houseplants reproduce by spores. The spores mature in the sporangia of the fronds. They need to be collected in a paper bag. The spores lose their germination within two days, so after collection they should be immediately distributed onto sterilized soil. There is no need to cover it with soil.
The container with the sown spores is covered with glass and put in a warm place, but the sun should not fall on it. After a while, green spots can be seen on the surface of the soil - these are seedlings. Water as needed. When the plants grow up, they are transplanted to a permanent place.
Let's sum it up
As you can see, if you have patience, you can always grow a beautiful indoor plant with your own hands. The main thing is to realize the significance of the upcoming work, to know the names of your green pets. Then you can choose The right way reproduction and get beautiful plants, which will delight you with flowers or colorful leaves.
Most flower growers sooner or later are faced with the desire to increase their collection of flowers, which makes them think about possible methods of implementation. Indoor plants can be propagated different ways, which are usually divided into seed and vegetative. However, the choice of the optimal method of reproduction depends on the species and the goals of reproduction.
Reproduction by seeds and spores
In the wild, most new plants arise due to seed propagation, which is collateral species diversity. Propagation by seeds is suitable for most indoor flowers and difficulties rarely arise. This method cannot always be called the simplest and most effective, although with its help it is quite possible to obtain great amount plants and source material for breeding new varieties.
However, what's good about natural conditions, not always suitable for closed ground. Most houseplants come to windowsills from warmer or humid regions, which means their seeds require special conditions. Propagation by seeds can be difficult or impossible for several reasons:
- The seeds are too small or even dusty and germinate only in symbiosis with fungi (orchids);
- Seeds quickly lose their viability, and it is not possible to collect fresh material from indoor plants (palm trees, hipperastrum, gardenias, coffee);
- Germination is difficult due to the dense seed coat or the presence of a large number of inhibitory substances. Such seed requires stratification, scarification or other methods pre-sowing preparation(camellia, myrtle, tea, feijoa, abutilone).
Not all indoor plants produce seeds. Various types of ferns, which are among the oldest representatives of the flora, form spores. They mature in sporangia located on the underside of the fronds (leaves).
This method of reproduction is considered difficult, despite the huge number of spores formed. For their germination it is necessary to create special conditions, but still more attention young seedlings will require.
Methods of vegetative propagation
Most often in indoor floriculture use vegetative propagation of indoor plants, because it has a number of advantages over seed:
- All received specimens will be an exact copy of the mother, which is especially important when reproducing varieties;
- Decorative deciduous species grow leaf mass faster, and decorative flowering species form flowers earlier;
- If necessary, they can be used to rejuvenate adult plants that have lost their decorative properties.
One of the most simple ways, which is used for species that grow in breadth and have rhizomes or powerful fibrous roots (cyperus, arrowroot, chlorophytum, Saintpaulia, Tradescantia, cymbidium, cattleya, dendrobium).
This method of reproduction allows you to obtain an adult specimen that can quickly restore its previous size. Dividing the bush is most often carried out during transplantation. Each division must have roots and several growing points.
Cuttings are the rooting of various parts of a plant. Propagation by cuttings can be carried out using sections of the stem, whole leaves or parts thereof, and peduncles.
Most indoor flowers propagate well from stem cuttings (crassula, tradescantia, ivy, monstera, ficus). Apical cuttings used for rejuvenation of plants with bare stems, and fragments from the middle and lower parts for mass propagation.
In some species young plant can be obtained from leaves (Sansevieria, Saintpaulia, Peperomia). The Saintpaulia leaf takes root equally well in the form or a special substrate, and Sansevieria can be propagated even by fragments of the leaf.
Particularly noteworthy is the ability of Saintpaulia to reproduce by rooting a peduncle, which is the only way chimera reproduction.
Propagation by cuttings allows you to get a large number of young plants and at the same time maintain varietal qualities, but the ability to form roots depends on the plant. Some species form roots within a few days in a glass of water, others require greenhouses and bottom heating.
Layerings are used for species in which propagation by cuttings is difficult. To do this, a young one-year-old shoot is pinned to the ground or tied with a bag filled with soil. After rooting, the shoot is separated from the mother specimen. Propagating indoor plants in this way allows you to get a well-formed plant in a short time. strong plant without resorting to division.
Reproduction by root suckers
Some palms and dracaenas tend to produce young plants close to the main trunk. The rooted shoots can be separated and planted in a new pot.
Daughter plants (brood buds, tendrils, children)
A number of indoor flowers form different types of daughter plants. Chlorophytum forms long tendrils, at the ends of which young specimens form. In Kalanchoe, miniature daughter plants are formed along the perimeter of the leaves from brood buds. In some types of orchids, babies grow on peduncles or pseudobulbs. In bromeliads (Vriesia, Guzmania, Aechmea), numerous daughter shoots are formed at the base of the central rosette before dying.
Cuttings, layering and other common methods of propagating indoor plants are applicable only to species that have a pronounced stem and rhizome, but are not suitable for tuberous and bulbous plants.
Tuber division is suitable for propagation of gloxinia and tuberous begonias. Despite the fact that other methods of propagation are known for these flowers, flower growers resort to dividing the tubers quite often. Propagation of indoor plants in a similar way helps not only to obtain new specimens, but also to rejuvenate old poorly flowering tubers.
The number of bulbous flowers that are grown at home is small, but they are often found on windowsills. Hipperastrums, hemanthuses, zephyranthes, clivias, and hymenocallis annually delight with lush flowers that grow from the center of the bulb. Reproduction of such plants is carried out by daughter bulbs. In species that have clearly expressed period dormancy with the death of leaves, young bulbs are separated during this period. In evergreen species daughter bulbs separated during transplantation, which is recommended after flowering.
Most often, daughter bulbs form independently, but the propagation of indoor plants can be hampered by an insufficient number of formed bulbs or their complete absence. In this case, they resort to stimulation using various drugs or by cutting the bottom.
Graft
Vaccination in room conditions most often used for various types citrus fruits or cacti. This method allows you to save varietal characteristics, force it to begin bearing fruit earlier or “plant” a plant that is too demanding in terms of its maintenance conditions on the roots of a more unpretentious one.
Citrus fruits grown from seeds begin to bear fruit 10-15 years or later, and the quality of future fruits cannot be known in advance. Using fruit-bearing varietal lemons, kumquats, oranges and other varieties and species as a scion will allow you to produce the first flowers and fruits within a year.
Test tube plants
Many people know about the existence of plants from test tubes, but it is difficult to call this method simple and accessible. Microcloning can be considered vegetative methods reproduction, but using microscopic pieces of tissue. Microclonal propagation of plants at home is possible, but practically inaccessible. Vegetative propagation Growing indoor plants this way requires not only knowledge and skills, but also special growing media and equipment. However, nothing is impossible and there is a huge amount successful examples home experiments.
Growing in sterile conditions on nutrient media allows us to solve the problem of orchid seed germination. Under such conditions, there is no need for symbiotic fungi, which supply the microscopic seed with everything it needs, and the seedlings are clearly visible after a few months.
Any of the selected reproduction methods allows you to get new copy favorite houseplant, but good result can only be expected when choosing the optimal method and proper care. Before you start breeding, you should study species features plants.
