Unpretentious plants are forgiving of our mistakes and forgetfulness, they are patient, not capricious and require almost no special care. It is enough just to create the light conditions they need and water them periodically. Some of them cannot boast of beautiful flowers or frequent flowering, but they can add greenery to any interior without any problems.

Pike tail(sansevieria, mother-in-law's tongue, snake skin). This hardy plant has earned the reputation of being indestructible: it grows well in the sun and in the shade, tolerates dry air, drafts, infrequent watering, and can forever “say goodbye” to sunlight and be content with only lamps. In the warm season, it is enough to water the pike tail once a week, in winter - once every 2-3 weeks. At wet cleaning at home or in the office, it is worth wiping the leaves too.

(agagae) is able to store water in its fleshy leaves, so it will withstand long breaks between waterings. In summer, you can water aloe 1-2 times a week, in winter - twice a month. Loves light, will feel best on a south window. Aloe leaves contain essential oils, amino acids and vitamins, so many use the plant in cosmetics and medicinal purposes. For example, you can keep your skin youthful if you apply it every day before bed. Fresh Juice aloe on a washed and steamed face.

Chlorophytum will grow in any soil, in a pot of any size, in the sun and in the shade, in a cold or warm room, on a cabinet, on a refrigerator, in general, anywhere. If you don’t water it for a month, it won’t dry out, but will only fade, fade and sag. And if, on the contrary, you fill it with water, it will grow huge roots and many “babies” - airy tendrils with small bushes of new plants. Chlorophytum is considered one of the most effective air purifiers in the room.

Tradescantia(women's gossip, saxifrage, “the eternal Jew”). This climbing plant does not require special maintenance conditions; it tolerates hot summers and cool winters. It will grow anywhere in the apartment and even without proper care. Tradescantia will do best in bright light without direct sunlight (the color of the leaves fades in shady places). Watering - 2-3 times a week. The variety of colors of Tradescantia leaves is so great that any wall can be turned into a work of art. Tradescantia will look good in hanging pots.

Aspidistra(friendly family) - a shade-tolerant plant, ideal for northern rooms and decorating rooms with insufficient daylight, for landscaping offices with artificial lighting. Aspidistra does not suffer from either excess or lack of moisture; it does not need to be fed. It tolerates dried soil much better than overly moist soil. In summer, the plant must be watered every 5-7 days, in winter - once every 10-15 days.

Spathiphyllum(female happiness, white sail) - an extremely unpretentious indoor plant. An excellent choice not only for home, but also for the office. Spathiphyllum tolerates dry air. It is enough to give it diffused daylight and, if it starts to dry out, give it a shower (literally take it to the bathroom and gently water the leaves and soil under a cool shower). As a result of such procedures, the unpretentious spathiphyllum will not only regularly delight you with white flowers, but will also grow into a large, beautiful bush. Watering abundantly - 3 times a week.

Violet(saintpaulia) - the most grateful of indoor flowers. Undemanding to lighting, feels good on both western, eastern and northern windows. The south window is only suitable in winter period, in summer the sun can burn the leaves. When leaving, you need to remember that root system The violet is superficial; if there is excess moisture, it will begin to rot, so the plant should be watered only after the soil has dried. Saintpaulias like pots that are small in volume - this is necessary to prevent root rot and disease. And in such pots, violets bloom better and last longer.

Decembrist(epiphyllum, varvarin color) - grows very quickly, unpretentious to air temperature. For regular flowering (2-3 times a year), diffused light and watering are required as the top layer of soil dries. By the way, thanks to the work of breeders, new varieties and hybrids of the Decembrist appear every year. They amaze even experienced flower growers with their variety of shades: bright orange, coral, lilac.
