Maybe it's someone and convenient, but not plants. Bad when they are forced to huddle in the darkness, with a lack of light sooner or later pull the stems, curved, shall be humbled, the flowers fade, lose grace ... Illumination in any room are very unevenly distributed, with the removal of the window, it drops sharply. Specialists have determined, for example, that in a small room with one window lit window sill is 40% of outdoor (street) lighting, and three meters away from the window - only 5%. Even in a room measuring 6x4 meters with two windows illumination at the center of only 5-10%, and the corners of darkness reigns - there is light in comparison with street lighting no more than 1%.
Hence, ornamental plants should be placed against the windows, and not more than 1,5 m from them left and right of the window at the wall, the wall, where the lack of light. In "shallow" - not very dark corners you can place only the Shade: aspidistra ("united family"), philodendron, Cleve, rubber plants, variegated begonias, tsissus Antarctic, some ferns, arrowroot.
Light-loving succulents - succulent plants (Aloe, Gasteria, gavortsii, jade, cacti), and blooming azaleas, Crinum, gippeastrumy, bells (the bride and groom "), roses, fuchsias, svinchatki (plyumbago), calla lilies, Coleus (color Krapivka ) mounted on a window sill or in the immediate vicinity of the windows on trays and tables. Ampelnye plants with drooping stems suspended in a pot in the center of the window, but certainly not at the top - the ceiling very little light. Baskets and pots hung on fishing line that will not strike the eye as laces or rough twine.
If you were a lot of different colors and they work closely on a windowsill, make good out of thin boards ladder-stand and to strengthen its side of the window or lean against the window. On the stairs puts pots with flowers, and light-loving species are placed in the bottom tier of the ladder, Shade - on the top step. Bad when flower pots mount on high cabinets, there, almost to the ceiling, dark, in addition, the plant will be content with only mild side-lighting. Shoots will pull to the light, faint, become rickety - Is not this decoration!
Even standing on the sill of violet, geranium, balsam and other plants are always directed toward the window glass. Curved specimens, one-sided outlets not decorative. To avoid this, the pots should be regularly rotated different parties to the light, the plants then develop more evenly. But the best way, if the pots are set a little obliquely to the light. It's enough to put a pot under a wooden brusochek (or wedge) to the angle between the sill and the bottom of the pot was 10-15 °. With the same inclination to the light you can hang baskets with decorative plants. Well, if you still want to put some light-loving plants blossoming in a dark place, such as the foyer, hallway, etc., it is quite possible to do, but only for a short time (no longer than 2-3 days). After this you should move it back to its original location, closer to the light.
All potted plants from time to time to transplant, since the volume of food they have limited the value of the pot. Young plants are transplanted annually in the spring, and the old - a few years. For example, palm up to 3 years are transplanted each year, from 5 to 7 years - 3-4 years, and over 10 years - only when the rot tub. The need for transplantation due to the fact that the earth is gradually becoming less nutrients. Part of them is consumed for power plant, part of the leached during the watering. Change and physical properties of the earth - water permeability, moisture content, increased acidity or alkalinity of the soil, and the pot is close to the plants living in it.
Plants are mostly poorly tolerated transplant, so it is frequently not necessary and only as needed. The need to transplant a mature plant is known by the following criteria: 1. The plant is worse than the blooms, the flowers are fewer, and they became smaller. 2. Land of the abundance of roots is squeezed out of the pot. 3. Roots emerging from bottom-hole pot.
One of these signs or set of them indicate the need for transplantation.
Make it in February - March - April, before leaving the plant from a dormant period or when the first young leaves. Of course, diseased plants have transplanted at any time, without observing favorable terms.
Flower, intended for transplant, not watered for 3-4 days to earthy components easily out of the pot. The top layer of soil to a depth of 2-3 cm is removed and discarded. Picked up another pot with a diameter of 2-3 cm greater than the former. Old pots were washed with soap and water, scalded with boiling water, then wipe the inside a strong solution of potassium permanganate. Cover bottom opening of the new pot shard (gorbylkom up) and poured it into 2-3 cm broken bricks or pebbles, or washed slag mixed with sand or other material suitable for drainage.
Now we are preparing for a plant suitable earthen mixture, pour her a cone (slide) up to half of the new pot. Thus, both pots were prepared for transplantation. Now hit the right hand on the bottom of the pot plant dumps from the old pot and scissors to cut roots, Entangling ground com. Then remove the pointy wooden stick from the bottom ground with the roots. Large and decayed roots cut off and cuts sprinkle with coal dust. Not shaking all the ground with the roots, transfer the plant into a new pot, gently straighten the roots of the earthen cone and gradually fill in soil mixture, shaking and lightly tapping the pot on the table that had no empty spaces between the roots.
Around the walls of the pot soil thicken, then pour profusely, mulching dry land and transfer the flower there, where not exposed to direct sunlight, but not in darkness. Transplanted plants are usually not watered 5 - 6 days, but daily sprinkle. Resume watering as the drying of the upper layer of earth and plant growth. Merry blooming you sill!
