“And I have them, about two hundred ... There are no special problems. I water under the root, feed once a month, in winter, I illuminate with lamps.
“I have a lot of violets, she is not whimsical, the only thing you need to water is only in the pan, in winter once a week, in summer twice a week, well, to stand on sunny side, I stand on the window in the kitchen - the sun is there in the afternoon - they bloom 10 months a year.
“2 main conditions - do not pour and do not put in direct sunlight. I water mine once a week.

Gloxinia
“Gloxinia (lat. Gloxinia) is a genus of plants of the Gesneriaceae family. Named after the German or Alsatian botanist and physician Benjamin Peter Gloksin (1765-1794)."

In the photo, the Decembrist in bloom
We call this flower the Decembrist. Despite the fact that experts do not attribute it to capricious plants- according to the experience of many of my friends, he is quite sensitive to any adverse effects. It got its name because it blooms in winter, in December.
In addition to winter time, against the background of other flowers, it is gray and inconspicuous, and during flowering, the whole attitude towards it is manifested: if it was good care- the Decembrist will bloom profusely, with beautiful buds, if the care was bad, one or two pale flowers will come out.
Camellia
"Camellia (lat. Camellia) - evergreen Tea family (Theaceae). Most known species- Camellia sinensis (Camellia sinensis, or Tea, or Tea bush), from the leaves of which raw materials for making tea are obtained. Many species of camellia are used in ornamental horticulture."

Judging by the statistics of flower purchases at auctions and queries in search engines, Russians are actively interested in home plants.
As we see from history, many flowers came to us from the subtropics, hot countries. Africa is one of the richest countries in potential domestic plants.
Among domestic plants quite poisonous: spurge, dieffenbachia, crassula, evergreen spitting, trichocereus cactus, Persian cyclamen, dioscorea, autumn colchicum, common oleander, common tick, cinnabar clivia, Japanese euonymus, aglaonema changeable, etc.

As for superstitions and the fact that a certain flower brings happiness - of course, this is all “feng shui” in a Russian way, a money tree will not help to earn money, and, given the poisonousness of the plant, although not fatal, it will rather harm than help. But there are such moments as the impact on the atmosphere in the house, for example, the monstera emits carbon dioxide at night, and it is better not to put it in the bedroom (also do not forget that it is poisonous). Citrus and conifers refresh and purify the air better than other plants.
And green pets with oval and round leaves have a more positive and softening effect on the psychological state of people, relieve aggression due to the fact that the smooth forms of natural plants contribute to the adoption of balance. As well as plants with sharp lines, they rather provoke impulsiveness, aggression, but, of course, all this is not unambiguous.
Also, Russians love and plant the following plants at home:
Rose (room varieties)
fruit citrus fruits
Tradescantia
chrysanthemums
Hibiscus
orchids
Balsam
Croton
poinsettia
Begonia Bauer tiger
