They need very little daylight to survive and even this light cannot be direct, as it can be harmful for many of these species, especially in summer (their leaves can burn with prolonged exposure to the sun).

If, when buying a plant for the interior, you see that the leaves are very green, it is more likely to be successful, that is, it is more resistant to less favorable environmental conditions. The species that stand out with more vivid colors are those that need as much light as possible.

Ideal conditions for a houseplant

Houseplants need care and certain environmental conditions to survive well.

• The first thing a plant needs is a comfortable temperature. Normally this temperature is around between 15 ° and 25 °.
• Another factor to consider is the humidity in the environment. This is a more difficult factor to regulate. It depends on the city we live in, the environment, the climate, the weather at the time, the ventilation in the house, etc. The necessary for the plants to survive in their ideal conditions is to keep it between 20% and 60%, depending on each species. Dried flowers bouquet don’t need any water and can live in these conditions.
• The size of the pot is very important for the development of the plant. It does not have to be too big or too small. It should be suitable for the size and if necessary change from a pot to a larger one.
• Pests, of course, can also occur at home. It is true that if we have few plants inside, it is very unlikely that a pest will spread, but it can happen. Therefore, it is highly recommended and necessary to have proper pest control.

Let's not forget that plants, even if they are inside, need light. They need it to carry out the photosynthesis process. Without this natural process, they cannot grow. Although each plant needs a different amount of light, they all need something. Before exposing a plant to light (especially if it is direct), we should inform ourselves when buying it because each plant has different needs.

Depending on the size of the plant, we need fertilizers to feed it artificially as the nutrients in the soil are depleted.

Types of plants for the home

Gardenia

The famous gardenias are native to China and resemble roses. They have quite fleshy and white flowers. Inside, it has a creamy color. It is quite aromatic for the interior because they give off a pleasant scent. If you have a visitor, apart from being quite a decorative flower, it will intoxicate the guests with a pleasant aroma.

Poinsettia flower

Of course, the poinsettia was not to be missed. The so-called pascuero, It is the typical plant given at Christmas to bring happiness to the house.

This is a rather delicate houseplant, therefore, when buying it and taking it home, it must be wrapped in plastic that protects it from sudden changes in temperature. Once at home, we need to place it in places that are not very hot and not exposed to drafts. The ideal temperature for the poinsettia is about 20 °. As for irrigation, it is only enough to spray the leaves or put a plate of water under the plant for fifteen minutes and remove it. These plants do not need much water and wither quickly.

Normally people remove poinsettias when Christmas is over, either because Christmas is over or because they are deteriorating. However, with care and consideration, it can be kept year-round. As long as there is no frost or very low temperatures, we can keep them in the garden. It is best to cover them with a plastic in the coldest hours so that the plant is not directly resistant to the cold.
