Feng Shui
According to Feng Shui, it is important to pay attention not only to the type of flower, but also to the state in which it is. There are several basic rules for keeping flowers and plants in the house according to Feng Shui:
- You should not keep dried flowers in your apartment.
- All old plants that no longer bloom or produce new shoots should be thrown out.
- Sick flowers should not be kept in the house, as they will take away your health.
- A flower that you have been caring for for a long time, but all your actions are of no use and it fades, should also be removed from the house. The plant spreads negative energy.
- It is worth choosing those flowers whose leaves are directed upward. According to Feng Shui, such plants bring positive energy into the house. Plants with leaves that stretch downwards, on the contrary, ground it.
- It is better to choose flowers with rounded leaves.
- You should not place a large number of plants in the bedroom or next to the bed.
- According to Feng Shui, all plants are divided into female and male (Yin and Yang). Women's plants include begonia, violet, crassula, and cyclamen. Male plants Citrus fruits, dracaena, chlorophytum and others are considered.
- For the most favorable energy field It is necessary to keep Yin and Yang plants in the house.
According to the rules of Feng Shui, there are no favorable or unfavorable types of flowers, but some are still not worth buying for keeping in your home. Among the plants with bad energy include all that have sharp leaves. It is believed that such flowers bring quarrels and discord to the family. Needles and thorns also provoke scandals, so you should choose plants with soft needles. The main plant that is not recommended to be grown according to Feng Shui at home is bonsai.
It represents bonsai, whose growth was stopped artificially. Such a tree will stop the development of its owner and will negatively affect career success and overall well-being.

Conclusion
In conclusion, I would like to say that the choice of indoor plants largely depends on your personal preferences. Follow safety precautions when handling poisonous flowers. Do not forget about their danger to children and animals.
Which flower to choose for growing at home without harming your health? This material talks about which flowers to choose for certain rooms, taking into account the botanical characteristics of the crops. Before choosing indoor flowers, it would be a good idea to make sure that all family members are not allergic to them. For more information about which flowers to choose for your home, you can read the tips on this page further. Perhaps the information provided will help answer the question of which indoor flowers to choose for interior design. Some tips are also given on how to choose an indoor flower according to its group affiliation.
Houseplants can be purchased at any time of the year, but in winter you should take care of them. Try not to buy tender plants, which stood in the open air as “discounted” offers.
If you choose bulbs, make sure they are firm and have no holes or sprouts. When purchasing indoor plants, pay attention to any dangerous symptoms- roots sticking out of drainage holes, empty space between compost and inside pot, soft leaves, etc.
Plants should be wrapped or in plastic packaging that can protect them during the winter. The dangers of cold air when traveling home are obvious. Less obvious is the damage that can be done to plants in the trunk of a car at the height of summer. If possible, transport the plant in a box in the back seat.
Try to provide the new plant with an acclimatization period. Keep it out of direct sunlight and drafts for several weeks, and be careful when watering. Don't move it from one place to another trying to find the "proper" position. Just leave it alone in a moderately warm place away from the sun. Losing one or two leaves during this period is normal for a new plant.
The situation is different with flowering potted plants, such as azaleas, chrysanthemums and cyclamens, which bloom in winter. Put them on right away permanent places and provide as much light as possible.
What flowers and plants can and should be kept at home
There is a certain standard for which flowers can be kept at home without danger to health. There are also beliefs and scientific conclusions about which plant should be kept at home for well-being and good health all family. There are six main forms into which almost all indoor plants fit. There are also intermediate cases, and some plants change shape from one to another with age. Size is another important factor when purchasing a plant. Low growing varieties may get lost against the background of a large bare wall, and a tall tree-like plant is not suitable for a narrow window sill. Remember that you can buy young plants that can grow to the size of a child within a few years.
What flowers and plants should I plant and grow at home?
Before you decide which flower to plant at home, you need to decide where it will stand and what function it will perform. Everyone chooses for themselves which plants to plant at home; for example, erect flowers have a distinctly vertical growth pattern. Among them there are both low and tallest indoor plants. Medium-sized vertical plants are an integral part of a potted group, providing a sense of height and compensating for horizontal effect, created by rosette and ampelous plants. Tall, upright varieties are often used as single plants.
Some knowledge will help determine which flowers to grow at home, for example, columnar plants have thick vertical stems, either leafless or bearing leaves, which do not interfere with the columnar effect. Many cacti and some succulents have this growth pattern.
Examples:
Cleistocactus Strauss
Notocactus Leninghaus
Peruvian cereus.
Trees are used in large rooms as single plants and in many compositions as a central element. Trees have a central branched or unbranched stem and leaves with small petioles. Some are quite small, such as miniature succulent "trees"; others are capable of growing to the ceiling.
Examples:
Aphelandra
Ficus Benjamin,
Ficus rubbery
Citrus
Scheffler.
False palms have stems that, while the plants are young, are completely covered by elongated leaf bases. In an adult plant, usually only top part The trunk is covered with leaves and a characteristic “false palm” effect occurs.
Examples:
Dieffenbachia
Pandanus
What flowers to have at home
Before deciding what flowers to have at home, it is worth learning about bush-like plants - these are varieties that do not fit into other groups. They usually have multiple stems growing straight from the compost, with a growth pattern that is neither discreetly vertical nor horizontal. They can be small and compact, like peperomia, or tall and bushy, like aucuba. Some plants are naturally bushy, others need to be pinched regularly to encourage tillering.
Examples of what flower to have at home:
Achimenes
Begonia royal
Peperomia
Which indoor plant to choose from cereals
Grass-like plants have long, narrow leaves and a growth habit similar to that of cereals. Very few true grasses are grown as houseplants. If desired, you can grow a cereal plant in the room open ground. For example, you can use calamus, arundinaria, sedge and ophiopogon. Which indoor plant to choose among the cereals largely depends on general design interior interior.
Broad-leaved grass-like plants are much more popular - Chlorophytum crested is widely grown.
Some flowering plants also have grass-like leaves, for example:
Billbergia drooping
And Tillandsia Linden.
Globular plants
Globular plants are leafless and spherical in shape. Almost all of them are cacti. The surface of the stem may be smooth or covered with hairs and thorns.
Examples:
Mammillaria
Euphorbia obese
Notocactus
Rebutia is tiny
Echinocactus.
Rosette plants
Rosette plants bear leaves arranged in a circle around a central growing point.
Most rosette plants are low growing and combine well with bushy and upright plants in potty groups and in indoor gardens.
Flat rosette plants
Flat rosette plants have large leaves that lie almost horizontally, forming a loose rosette. A number of attractive flowering plants have this growth pattern.
Examples:
Gloxinia
Saintpaulia.
Succulent rosette plants have fleshy leaves arranged in several layers and often tightly adjacent to each other. This arrangement helps retain moisture in their natural habitat.
Examples:
Aloe squat
Roofing rejuvenated
Aeonium discalis
Echeveria bristles.
Funnel-shaped rosette plants are widespread among bromeliads. Wide, belt-shaped leaves form a “funnel” that holds rainwater in their natural tropical habitat.
Examples:
Guzmania
Nidularium
Lianas and hanging plants: which ones to choose
Curly and hanging plants have stems that are either tied to a support so they grow upward or left to hang down the outside of the container. Many varieties can be used both ways. As climbers, they are formed on pegs, cords, trellises, wire hoops, vertical poles, in wall-mounted pots to frame a window, or on a support serving as a partition. As ampelous ones they can be used to grow over horizontal surface or go down the sides of the pot.
Vines are always grown as vertical plants. Climbing varieties twist around the provided supports. Clinging varieties that have tendrils must be attached to supports at regular intervals; if left to grow unattended, the stems will soon tangle together. Varieties with aerial roots are best grown on a moss stick.
Examples:
Passionflower
Stephanotis
Philodendron spear-shaped.
Lianas/creepers are extremely useful indoor plants. When growing them as vines, it is generally not recommended to tie all the stems to one stake - they look more attractive when the stems are spread out on a trellis or on several stakes inserted into a pot. When growing them as hanging plants, it is sometimes necessary to pinch out the growing points.
Examples:
Scindapsus
Philodendron climbing.
Hanging plants are always grown as hanging plants with stems pointing downwards, or as creeping plants with stems growing along the surface of the soil. Many hanging plants have colorful foliage or attractive flowers. It is best to grow them in hanging baskets or install on high stands.
Examples:
Begonia drooping
Campanula equifolia
Columnea
Morgana sedum
Fittonia
Schlumberger.
Flowers for dark corners
It's tempting to liven up a dark corner with indoor plants. But for plants to survive, they need light. Flowers for dark corners must have high level shade-tolerant and do not need a lot of ultraviolet radiation for their growth.
Here's a test to tell if there's enough light: It should be possible to read a newspaper in the darkest part of the corner at the end of the morning or early afternoon, and the plants should cast at least vague shadows on a sunny day.
It is good if the surfaces of the corner are pasted over or painted white or light color. Mirror surface even more useful. You can use light-loving species for a few weeks and then move them to a brightly lit area for a week or two to recuperate. Alternative way- buy pots with brightly colored flowering species and treat them as a temporary arrangement the same way you would treat cut flowers in a vase.
Unpretentious plants
There is a group of plants that can tolerate various conditions- dark and cold corners, bright and stuffy rooms, periods of oblivion, and so on. Grow some unpretentious plants, if you are convinced that everything you touch will die. These plants will survive as long as you don't keep the compost moist and you don't burn them in the summer on an unshaded windowsill with south side. Typically, you can water them once a week during the growing season and once every two weeks during the winter.
