What to do if you want to decorate your apartment with houseplants but have neither the experience nor the time for serious care of a home mini-garden?
Together with the famous gardener Andrey Tumanov, we compiled a list of the most unpretentious house flowers.
Chlorophytum
A universal plant that is suitable for any home. Its bright green leaves are not only a decorative element but also help to purify the air. This unpretentious plant thrives in low light conditions and requires minimal care. It tolerates drought well, so it can be watered quite infrequently.
Aloe
Aloe is practically an "unkillable" succulent with numerous beneficial properties. Besides its attractiveness, it is known for its healing qualities that can be used at home. Aloe does not require frequent watering and careful maintenance, making it an ideal choice for beginners.
Gloxinia
An amazing houseplant that impresses with its variety of forms. Gloxinia has large, velvety leaves and bright flowers that can come in a wide range of shades—from deep blues and purples to whites and reds.
One of the strengths of gloxinia is its ability to bloom for several months. This makes it an ideal choice for interior decoration.
Caring for gloxinia requires minimal effort, although some nuances should still be considered. Gloxinia prefers bright but diffused light, so it is best to place the plant near a window protected from direct sunlight. Watering should be moderate: the soil in the pot should not dry out, but gloxinia does not tolerate overwatering.
Tradescantia
Tradescantia is sometimes jokingly called the "Terminator" in the world of houseplants. This plant survives and recovers, it seems, in any conditions. It is perfect for both floor pots and hanging baskets.
Cactus
And finally, one of the leaders in the list of the most unpretentious plants—His Majesty the Cactus. This flower can go for a long time without water and looks great in any interior. Their variety of shapes and sizes makes them an interesting accent in any home.
