Blossoming fashion
If to admit, house flowers, what crowds stand on window sills at our mums and grandmothers, I not so love. In general I prefer, that window sills were free from only. But, as it was found out, house flowers can be not only on above mentioned, but also in other places. Therefore I all the same have dared to "get" a small garden at home. However that I have dared at it, does not mean yet, that there will be a plant under the name «незнаюкакменязовут». It appears, on house plants too there is a fashion.
The concept of "a house flower fashion» long time was not perceived seriously, but today phytodesigners already unanimously declare that the plants which are round you, without fail should harmonise, so to say, your space and as much as possible correspond to your representations about beauty and comfort. That is, it should be those flowers which will create such atmosphere which will "call" you home from work and to give tremendous sensation of blossoming happiness! So, laws of a flower fashion!
The law the first: «that is harmonious» is fashionable.
When you choose a plant, you should think of how it will be looked in your house interior as it will be entered in environment. Here, for example, rubber plants are perfectly looked in an interior of style hi-tech, and frivolous ампельные, let us assume, ivies, with the floridity of lines will approach for a premise in the spirit of a modernist style.
The apartment "sustained" in the Mexican style, with warm and bright colour scale, with original figurines, ethnic masks, motley rugs of manual work will accept prickly prickly pears and sprawling agaves. If you the fan of Japan by all means should try to recreate the "Japanese" interior which will be, on the contrary, are laconic and practically deprived bright colours. However we will necessarily give one of its corners under a tiny garden or a tiny tree. A such interior of calmness, philosophical wisdom and full absence of stresses, that really pleases!
Today many inhabitants of a megacity, aspiring to reestablish the lost communication with the nature, even more often address to an ecological direction in design – to natural paints and natural materials. In such environment the compositions recreating slices of a natural landscape, with use of grasses and cereals, including growing in our district are very organically looked. It is not less popular винтажный style: those "petty-bourgeois" handsome men-cyclamens will be entered in cosy rooms with cheerful "print" furniture, gobelins on walls and linen cloths on round little tables and bright пеларгонии.

Whether and you know, what?. The history of fashionable floriculture originates in far XVII-XVIII of a century when seafarers brought to Europe from the overseas countries the strange plants which have admired with their singularity of forms, surprising colouring of leaves or beauty цветков. The "Foreigners" who have got used to a warm climate, have started to render habitable premises of greenhouses, winter gardens, and subsequently - and apartment houses. It is curious, that at power change in Russia guilty window plants have suffered even in what not: in the XX-th century beginning graceful fuchsias, magnificent begonias and rubber plants have been declared by "petty-bourgeois" and "were actively moved" from apartments, the truth, later having received a pardon. In Soviet times all became easier - getting any plant, our predecessors, as a rule, not too reflected, whether it approaches to an interior, probably, because interiors were identical and extremely boring. Mistresses of these boring apartments simply rejoiced to acquisition something new and unusual. Well, they can be understood! |
For certain you heard about those people who talk to house colours or trees when come to wood, or with something live and hearing! Flowers – anything other, as live and feeling beings! Therefore, when you lodge any exotic culture in the house, it is necessary to take care of worthy care it. For example, cactuses, children of desert, love a sunlight, but winter at low temperature, and various kinds of tropical lianas have got used to twilight and high humidity. In some cases specially for window plants it is necessary to think over separate sources of illumination which, having entered in the general composition of an interior, can serve and its ornament.
Now one of the most actual ways of the maintenance of exotic plants is creation флорариумов - decorative room тепличек. Behind glass walls флорариума in an especial microclimate natives of tropical woods, even their most whimsical kinds perfectly feel. Besides it, флорариум - the fertile field for creation of picturesque compositions of the most different complexity - serves as a unique ornament of an interior.
The law the third, careful!
In the world of people to be fashionable is not only to follow fashionable tendencies, but also, first of all, carefully to watch itself, to be well-cared and well-groomed. And so the same tendencies dominate in the world of a flower fashion, understand?
In communication, with what it is necessary to remember following simple, but necessary rules of care of house colours.
1) House plants pleased all winter, in the spring them it is time to replace or pass us (not changing the earth) in pots большего the size. The soil is recommended to be updated on more fertile substratum.
2) After transfer of a plant it is better to transfer to a shadow place, in two days – to feed up such preparations as "Ideal" and «Корневин». And in 10 days it is possible to inspect a plant and to start to form a crone. Cautiously cut out old, ugly, dry branches, also it is useful slightly прищипнуть new (for these plants small «ранки» become a dope for growth with new force).
3) After will be established (+10-12 degrees), plants it is possible to expose warm night temperatures on a balcony, a loggia or in general periodically to take with itself on a summer residence. Start up "walk".
4) Concerning seasonal change of soil and about where it to take. Most easier to get soil in shop for gardeners. However, you can prepare her. For this purpose take 1 part of the repurulent earth, 1 part of sand and 1 part of the earth from under fruit-trees. Do not confuse: the fruit. In soil of such trees as the oak, an aspen or a poplar, contain tannins which can block growth «the green pupil». However, still your purpose – not to allow to a plant to expand, you can use soil of these trees.
Some flower growers specially grow up a tree бонсай – the substances allocated with it, can essentially slow down indoor plant growth. And one more council: before use the soil is recommended to be calcinated – in an oven at 80 degrees or with use of boiled water with a weak solution of manganese (or even in микроволновке - in an open package within 2-3 minutes). It will help to get rid of wreckers and illnesses.
