Vases that will flirtatiously bloom in the time of severe frosts

Plants on the windowsill have long ceased to be moveton. Young girls and their mothers are actively engaged in growing anything interesting. Miniature peppers, cucumbers and tomatoes have become commonplace. But winter - that's another question. When there is snow and bad weather, it is time to look at something beautiful.



Flowers. No, not so - flowering plants at home. Sounds? Yeah. And it has aesthetic value. In this article, we will talk about which plants bloom best in winter on the windowsill. Let us know the characteristics of each of them. It'll be interesting.

Other names for this flower are "Christmas Star" and "Beautiful Milk." It symbolizes comfort and prosperity. Its flowers, bright and star-like, bloom just in the area of Christmas holidays. Although, in fact, it is not even the merit of flowers, but the leaves that frame them. An unpretentious plant that is quite capable of getting everyone.



But there is another side to the coin. This plant is quite poisonous. He has very caustic milky juice. So it is better to keep small children or pets away from poinsettia. The slightest damage to the plant can lead to unnecessary consequences. This flower is best loved at a safe distance.

Azalea (Azalea) Although azalea stands out for its beauty, like a capricious young girl, she is not amenable to everyone. From the entire list of its species, it is preferable to choose an Indian variety. Because of the relative ease of care. At the same time, the Indian variety looks no worse than the rest of its counterparts.



If the care turns out to be correct, a thick carpet of flowers can grow so large that it will not even be visible neat green leaves. But azalea can't stand the sun. No direct rays and putting it on the south side of the house is the worst idea of all. On the other hand, the penumbra will completely reveal the plant from the most attractive side.

Decembrist (Schlumbergera) The name of this cactus is due to the period when it dissolves. Tropical plant, accustomed to shade, heat and abundant humidity requires the same conditions and living in an apartment. In general, providing them is not very difficult. However, it is worth remembering that at the time of flowering, the ground in the pot should not dry up for a minute.



In summer, the Decembrist likes to live in the fresh air. A shaded balcony or veranda of a private house is perfect. Temperature: in summer, 18-22 degrees, and in winter, 14-16 degrees are best suited. To form a convenient and beautiful shape of the leaves (these are segments), the plants are usually simply torn off by hand.

Cyclamens (Cyclamen) Only two types of this flower are popular: European and Persian. But it is the Persian cyclamen that strikes with its beauty in winter. Its bright flowers resemble the wings of butterflies, comfortably located in a small pot. The color range of cyclamen is also very developed: from ordinary white to pink, red and even purple.



However, this flower is not so easy to grow. The capricious plant cannot tolerate overflows, but it also does not pull to the dry ground. It is important to maintain balance and look at any reaction of the flower: it should not turn yellow, dry or fade. It is difficult to maintain constant surveillance. It's also poisonous. The interaction of cyclamen juice with exposed areas of skin can lead to severe irritation.

Japanese Camellia (Camellia japonica) Another fastidious “lady” who tries to throw off flowers and leaves at the most inopportune moment. At the bottom of her pot, you need to place drainage from the very beginning. Why do we need another transplant? She likes abundant watering and high humidity. In winter he likes to “bath” in the rays of special lamps for plants. All because to flower it needs about 12 hours to be under the rays with ultraviolet light. In winter, the sun does not shine for so long.



GettyImages Japanese camelia can be grown up to two meters in height. But there are more squat options suitable for the average window sill. The flowers are white, pink and red. The shape resembles delicate, very decorative rose buds.

Flowering in winter always looks amazing. Beauty against the background of snow gives a person a special, upbeat mood. And this is very important, because psychologists say that winter depression is sometimes even worse than autumn. Trying yourself in such a mini-gardening, in fact, is not worth it. It opens up new interests and emotions.
