Beautiful and exotic indoor plants: benefit or harm?
Fresh flowers can be found in almost every home, they serve not only as an interior decoration, but also purify the air in the house and fill it with oxygen, this is especially true in winter, when the ventilation process is minimal. Undoubtedly, green vegetation gives the house a coziness and a favorable atmosphere, but not everyone knows that among the modern abundance of useful plants, some have no place in our house.
What are the benefits of living plants?
Many housewives evaluate the benefits of indoor plants in their own way. Someone grows plants that can replace the home medicine cabinet, such as aloe or Kalanchoe. Someone prefers to have plants on the window that emit phytoncides and purify the room air from heavy metals, such as asparagus, geranium, chlorophytum and others. There are also such plants that make the air in the apartment truly healing, as they fill it with essential substances - these are cryptomeria, cypress and thuja. Well, for some, the benefits of plants are in their beauty and amazing flowering.
Useful plants
Some types of plants are grown on windowsills to be eaten later - these are greens, mint, onions, rosemary, garlic and other aromatic herbs that will saturate your dishes with vitamins in winter, and make the air in your apartment fragrant.
Useful, inedible plants include:
- Begonia and asparagus - thanks to them, the concentration of salts and harmful microorganisms in the air decreases.
- Geranium is capable of destroying many bacteria and viruses in the air. The aroma of geranium relieves headaches and promotes a speedy recovery from viral diseases. Plus, if you have geraniums on your window, much fewer flies and mosquitoes will visit your home during the summer.
- Cacti do an excellent job with electromagnetic radiation, so they should be placed next to electrical appliances.

- Chlorophytum should be in every modern home, since this plant is able to purify the air at home from such harmful substances as benzene, formaldehyde, ethylbenzene, toluene and other harmful substances emitted by modern building materials and finishes. Be sure to place chlorophytum in the kitchen, here it can absorb more than two-thirds of the carbon monoxide released during combustion.

If suddenly the leaves turn yellow and begin to crumble (sometimes this happens in a day), it means that a source of bad energy has appeared in your house that needs to be neutralized.
Harmful indoor plants
The most dangerous plants include exotic species that amaze us with their extraordinary beauty and we do not hesitate to take them to our home.

The juice of fresh leaves and flowers of ever-flowering begonia (Begonia semperflorens) is used as a wound-healing agent for purulent ulcers and other inflammatory processes.
Growing begonias at home
All begonias require high humidity. To ensure the desired moisture, it is recommended to place the pot in wet peat or on a tray with water, but so that it is not in the water. To do this, pebbles are poured onto a tray or the pot is placed on an inverted saucer.
It is advisable to spray the air around the begonias, but at the same time make sure that drops do not fall on flowers and leaves. Moderation is the main requirement of such a flower as begonia. Caring for it implies a moderate temperature - in summer, preferably about 20 ° C, in winter not lower than +15 ° C; bright diffused light, but not direct sunlight.
In winter, begonias can be exposed in the morning and in the evening in a sunlit place for several hours. The exception is ever-flowering begonia. She tolerates well both shade and bright sunlight. Watering should also be moderate. From spring to autumn, during the period of growth and flowering, watering should be done as the earthen coma dries, and in winter, watering should be reduced.
During the growing season, it is advisable to feed the plant at least twice with full mineral fertilizers. To extend the flowering period of begonias (especially tuberous ones), it is necessary to remove the female flowers at the very beginning of their development. To improve the formation of tubers in tuberous begonias, in September it is necessary to cut off new buds so that the plant does not waste energy on flowering.
Reproduction.
All begonias reproduce well by stem or leaf cuttings, by dividing the bush. Tuberous begonias propagate by tubers or seeds.
The tubers are planted in pots from February to May, depending on when they want to get a flowering plant. For germination, they are planted in small pots with sandy soil, into which the tubers are deepened only half. Water very sparingly. Germination is slow (up to several weeks). Roots appear first and only then shoots. As soon as the shoots appear, sprinkle the tubers with earth and rearrange them on a light warm windowsill.
Seed propagation is quite troublesome. The best sowing time is from December to March. Sow in bowls with leafy soil, a mixture of such soil with peat and sand, or directly into peat. The seeds of begonias are very small, so they do not need to be buried, but only slightly pressed down. Seedlings appear in two weeks. They must be dived 2-3 times.
The grown begonias are planted with a clod of earth in small pots. In July-August, such plants bloom, and by winter they manage to form tubers. Leafy begonias are easily propagated by leaf cuttings or by dividing the bush when transplanting.
For a leaf cutting, take the base leaf of the plant. The length of the cutting is desirable at least 5 cm, rooting will go better if phytohormones are used. The stalk is buried so that the leaf does not touch the soil.
The soil is moistened and crushed around the cutting. Stem cuttings are rooted in the same way as leaf cuttings, but the stem cuttings must be at least 7 cm in length. The best time for grafting is spring, early summer.
Diseases and pests
... With inaccuracies in care, begonia can shed leaves and buds. The reason for this is most likely a lack of moisture in the soil and air humidity around the plant. In this case, the tips of the leaves first turn brown and, if not watering, begin to fall off.
The pale color of the leaves indicates insufficient lighting. With excessive humidity, especially at low temperatures, begonia can be affected by gray mold.At the same time, light mold appears on the leaves, which is caused by a fungus. The affected parts of the plant must be removed, and the remaining part must be treated with a fungicide. Powdery mildew also belongs to fungal diseases. With this disease, the leaves are covered with a white bloom.
Dry air, sharp temperature fluctuations and drafts contribute to the spread of powdery mildew. The affected plant is pollinated with ground sulfur or sprayed with colloidal sulfur diluted in water. A solution of 1% concentration.
The most common pests that inhabit begonias are spider mites (red spider) and aphids (very small insects). Both mites and aphids live on the back of the leaf and feed on its juices. The mite is destroyed by spraying and washing the underside of the leaves with a mild soapy solution of tobacco or soapy water of Dalmatian chamomile. You can treat the plant with preparations containing feverfew or an insecticide. The mite spreads quickly in dry air at high temperatures. Aphids are also destroyed by drugs with pyrethrum. The treatment must be repeated until the destruction of the pests.
The evergreen begonia plant of amazing beauty is loved by flower growers for its bright, beautiful, long-flowering inflorescences, fancy leaves of various colors and unpretentious care. When growing any of the types of begonias, care and reproduction will not take a lot of time and effort.
Indoor flower energy
For plants, human love is so important. And they remain very grateful to those who love and care for them - they give health, cleanse the energy from negative influences, prolong life and even die themselves, giving all their little strength to save a person from illness. If plants suddenly start to hurt or die in the house, look for the reason: either someone from the family got sick, but the disease has not yet manifested itself, or negative energy has appeared in the house, causing harm to the residents. The aura of plants is complex and multi-layered. The more the aura of a plant and a person coincides, the more sympathy and love he feels for this or that plant.

If many life circumstances oppress you, if you have forgotten the last time you laughed, if you want to become the soul of society, expand your circle of acquaintances and friends, plant Tradescantia at home.
Azalea
A very useful plant in the house is azalea. The energy of this plant "extinguishes" gossip, pettiness, selfishness, enhances creativity in a person, his attractiveness, helps to achieve personal success.
The energy of a blooming azalea improves vision - for this you need to look at a blooming azalea for ten to fifteen minutes a day from a distance of at least half a meter.The energy of this plant has a beneficial effect on hospitable people, gives them vigor and health. She has a special influence on married couples - she tries to maintain love and calmness in the family, takes on everything negative and dies if there is not enough strength. A large flowering azalea bush is an indicator of family well-being. But she absolutely does not tolerate tobacco smoke, the flower quickly dies from it. Azalea "loves" when they talk to her, so she is better tuned to the person who cares for her.
Cyclamen
Cyclamen (not blooming) - has an energy of +4 units. This is a plant for cool rooms. Cyclamen attracts negative energy to itself, converts it into positive, very useful for diabetics and people who often have sinusitis.

It is better to plant cyperus in a low container, it can be 5 cm high, and pour water a centimeter above the soil. Cyperus loves loamy soil, constantly wet or even wet. Grows well in aquariums. You can grow it in tall glass floor vases by pouring water down to the middle of the stem. You can put a little clay on the bottom of the vase, sprinkle it with sand, and throw colorful stones on top. Large specimens of cyperus are a wonderful decoration of the living room and "catchers" of other people's envious and negative thoughts.
Chlorophytum
Chlorophytum is a completely unique plant needed in every home. Some time ago, the Americans wanted to use it as a universal air filter on submarines and spaceships. In a kitchen with a gas stove, it is necessary to have at least four large copies of chlorophytum to create favorable energy. To improve the energy of chlorophytum, a little charcoal is added to the ground. This plant supports human activity and improves their learning ability.
Dracaena
Dracaena - keeps a benevolent, warm relationship in the house. Helps to maintain optimism, increases human energy, improves life. Dracaena improves the composition of the air in the house by extracting ammonia and formaldehyde from it.
The greatest effect is brought by a plant that you have grown from a small specimen.
Dracaena deremskaya - usually grows with one trunk, the leaves are oblong-lanceolate. This dracaena was grown by my grandmother, she believed that this plant was of great benefit to the family. When the dracaena grew to the ceiling, the grandmother gave it to the cinema, and she herself began to grow a new one from the cuttings.
The energy of Dracaena deremskoy relieves stress and extinguishes an unjustified haste, raises a person's energy, contributing to an increase in optimism.

In people, under the influence of the energy of fragrant dracaena, the skin condition improves, wounds and other skin lesions heal faster, and skin diseases recover more quickly.
Dracaena's energy strengthens human bones and muscles.
Dracaena helps to collect energy if necessary, upon reaching the set goal - not to burn out, not to fall into a stressful state after a large energy "burst". It helps to reveal psychic abilities and maintain energy balance in all situations.
Ficus
Ficus improves the emotional atmosphere in the house, makes people more friendly to each other. The energy of ficus has a positive effect on a person, helps to cure joint and muscle pain, pain from cold. Sometimes a ficus leaf is insisted on vodka and sore joints are treated by lubricating the skin above it. The tincture also helps against pain in the legs, for this you need to lubricate the caviar.
The energy of ficus helps to improve a person's speech, make it clearer and more correct. This plant helps to keep the energy of a person at a harmonious level. Sometimes the ficus dies, having previously cured the person who was caring for him from the diseases. It is useful to have a ficus in the house for those who want to move up the career ladder and make a career - its energy contributes to the development of organizational skills, intuition and the ability to make decisions correctly, taking into account possible consequences. Our grandmothers tried to keep ficus in the house - it was believed that it improves life and health. Many housewives liked that he collects dust from the air, and the air becomes cleaner.
Tetrastigma
Tetrastigma Vuagnier. Suitable for large rooms - grows very quickly. In small rooms, they are kept in small pots. It has a beneficial effect on the energy of active people. Supports their endeavors. Tetrastigma purifies the air and fills it with positive energy. It helps lazy people to start the necessary work and bring it to a positive result. Promotes successful communication with other people. Tetrastigma is useful for human health: it restores energy, maintains body flexibility and accelerates the healing process in case of diseases.
The energy of tetrastigma protects a person from negative energies (evil eye, etc.), helps to find oneself and favors spiritual growth. Tetrastigmata are very shade-tolerant. They are placed at some distance from the window - then you can admire the magnificent leaves of these plants - they rush to the light. If the tetrastigma is placed on the windowsill, then the seamy side of the leaves will be visible mainly, and it is lighter, pubescent and less decorative. This plant can be used as a living screen dividing the space of a room into several parts. Near the green wall, you can relax and gain strength and energy. Arches from tetrastigma look great.
Prickly pear
Opuntia destroys harmful alien energy and energy of envy, protects the home. It has a beneficial effect on the skeletal system of the human body. Prefers tall pots and summer vacation "at the dacha". In the fresh air, prickly pear is gaining strength to successfully protect its owners. This is a very useful plant, but it is not recommended to touch it with your hands, the thorns can cause inflammation. It can be displayed in the hallway or living room on a bedside table and proudly show guests: what a wonderful specimen you have grown! This will only benefit the prickly pears, and you will keep your new refrigerator and music center in working order - some irresponsible guests will clearly not have enough envy for them.

Begonia
Always blooming begonia - radiates energy + 12 units into space, nourishes vishudha, improves mood, and prevents the development of stress. It is especially beneficial during the winter months when there is little light.
Blooming begonia on the kitchen window creates a festive atmosphere and improves the energy of the kitchen, and therefore the quality of the food prepared. Its flowers distract from gloomy thoughts and worries. In the kitchen, plants with red or bright pink flowers are most appropriate.
Instead of ever-flowering begonias, you can grow tuberous begonias, but they are more whimsical and difficult to care for, so I prefer to keep an unpretentious, but very energetic, ever-flowering begonia in the kitchen - a double form and simple. With green leaves and red flowers - in hanging pots and with burgundy leaves and white flowers - on the windowsill. Begonia helps maintain well-being in the home.
Hibiscus
In large kitchens, hibiscus, a Chinese rose, looks very organic. With physical contact of a person with a plant, a rise in pressure is possible, so I do not advise hypertensive patients to touch the branches of hibiscus and sit closer than half a meter from the plant. Hypotensives, on the contrary, benefit from short contacts with hibiscus - this will help to normalize blood pressure, and as you know, raising the pressure is more difficult than lowering it. Hibiscus standing on the windowsill does not have a noticeable effect on the pressure of people in the room. The bush of this plant, full of strength, perfectly cleans the air of the kitchen on the physical and energy levels, gives vigor to the people who are here. Its energy has a beneficial effect on the human liver and blood. Blooming hibiscus has a beneficial effect on the nervous system and psyche.
Hibiscus is thermophilic, but tolerates temperatures above +14 degrees Celsius. At lower temperatures, sheds leaves until spring. In order for the hibiscus to show all its positive qualities, it must be planted in a large or medium pot (in accordance with the size of the plant) in light nutritious soil. It tolerates pruning and crown formation well - can be grown as a bush or as a tree, on a high or low trunk. Easily rooted by cuttings, blooms in six months with an abundance of light and heat. By pruning and replacing the soil, hibiscus can be kept in the required size for a long time. Blooming hibiscus in the kitchen is the pride of the hostess and the guarantee of the health of the household. Hibiscus is also well suited for living rooms, where you can let it grow into a large tree, next to which it is pleasant to relax, chat with friends and gain strength for work and study. It will help maintain the emotional and physical tone of the body, gain credibility with other people, and easily establish new contacts. Hibiscus is unpretentious, widespread, so it will be easy to take its stalk from friends and acquaintances. A large bush or standard Chinese rose (hibiscus) tree, standing in the corner of the room, acts as a regulator of the room's energy. In this case, it should be fed more often and better looked after.
Passionflower
Passionflower blue, passion flower - has a strong energy. Plants have the greatest energy, which all summer before the autumn frosts grew in the open ground (without pots, passionflower is planted directly in the ground or in a large container with earth on the street). Anyone who has seen blooming passionflower will remain her loyal fan forever. Its flower is similar to the order, so it has one more name - "cavalier's star". Blooming passionflower increases the energy given to people. Its fruits are edible, very tasty and healthy.
Passionflower growing in the house relieves nervous tension and stress with its energy, soothes, improves mood and sleep.A flowering plant evokes pleasant dreams. The British even release wallpaper depicting flowering and fruiting passionflower vines to bring healthy energy into the house. It reproduces very simply - you can cut off a piece of the stem even with one leaf and root it in water. Around the gazebo, you can plant cuttings or young passionflower plants at the end of May - in a month the whole gazebo will be entwined with an exotic liana, and you will get a wonderful resting place that will fill you with energy and self-confidence.
Scindapsus
Scindapsus is a liana with leathery leaves, often with stains (spots) of yellow or white color. It can grow for a long time in a vase of water, decorating the walls with its shoots. Its energy clears the space of stagnant negative energies, facilitates personal loneliness (after the departure of a loved one), helps to increase intellectual potential and strengthen logical thinking. Also, the energy of the scindapsus helps to find a way out of the endless race for material benefits, to get rid of the burden of everyday worries, to find your "niche" in life and find well-being.
Its energy is not very great, but it allows, when growing a plant in a room, to establish metabolism and accelerate recovery from diseases.
Ivy
Ivy is a very common and unpretentious plant. It is often grown in offices, shops, and other public spaces. Few people know, but ivy plants overwinter under snow in the open ground of the Northwest. This allows a person to widely use the energy of ivy for the good at home, at work and in his personal plot. It absorbs the negative energy of a person, helping to gain stability in the emotional and mental terms, get rid of insecurity, obsessive thoughts, weakness, throwing and complexes. The energy of ivy helps to strengthen willpower, quit smoking, get rid of bad habits or emotional addiction. If you want to build confidence in yourself, then bring ivy home.

Begonia: home care, photo
All flowering species of this beautiful plant love rich lighting. But, since their leaves are delicate, flowers cannot be placed on southern windowsills with direct sunlight. Otherwise, the leaves may get burned.
Decorative foliage varieties do not need a lot of daylight. They can be grown on west, east and even north windows. Therefore, in order for the flower to always have a beautiful appearance, you need to find a suitable place for the begonias. The care and reproduction of a decorative flower depends entirely on its variety.
Watering and humidity
Indoor begonia flower loves watering. However, it will not tolerate stagnant water and constantly waterlogged soil. Its fleshy stems can start to rot. Watering a flower is done according to the following rules:
- in the summer, indoors, they are watered twice a week;
- in the open field, on the balcony or indoors in extreme heat, the plant is moistened daily or every other day;
- with the onset of a dormant period (in October), the soil is moistened as it is poured;
- varieties that rest in winter are watered to a minimum;
- the frequency of watering increases again in the spring.
Begonias love humid air, but it is not recommended to spray them. Spots appear on the leaves after water gets on them. To create a suitable microclimate, the flower pot is placed in a tray filled with damp pebbles or moss. The evaporating water will increase the moisture level around the plant.
Top dressing and soil for begonias
Flower care and reproduction is pretty simple. But do not forget about the fertilizing that is necessary for growth and long flowering. For this, special fertilizers are used, which can be purchased at a flower shop. Top dressing is carried out during the growing season, which lasts from spring to autumn.
When replanting an overgrown plant or a newly purchased flower, special soil should be prepared for it. You can buy it in the store and prepare it from the following components:
- black soil - 1 part;
- peat - 1 part;
- leaf land - 2 parts.
The bottom of the pot is closed with a drain, the role of which is played by ordinary sand. From above to the middle of the pots, leafy earth is poured out, and then peat mixed with black soil.
Begonia transplant
The time for transplanting has definitely come, if the roots of the plant stick out from the drainage hole. This procedure should be done in the spring, when flowering has not yet begun. The new pot should be three to four centimeters larger than the previous one. Before placing the bush in new soil, it is necessary to examine its roots. To do this, they are carefully freed from the ground and placed in a weak solution of potassium permanganate. The disinfected roots are examined and their dead parts are cut off.
Reproduction of begonias at home
There are three fairly simple ways to propagate a flower:
- dividing the bush;
- stem;
- leafy cuttings.
Cuttings are carried out in the spring and summer. For rooting, a part of the stem at least 7 cm long or a large healthy leaf is cut off. Rooting is carried out in a soil consisting of peat and sand (3: 1). The soil is moistened, the cutting is covered with a glass jar or cellophane on top. The container is placed in a warm place. The plant should take root in one to two months. During this period, the soil moisture should be maintained and the cuttings should be ventilated daily, removing cellophane from them.
Growing begonias from seeds
Tuberous varieties are propagated by seeds and tubers. Sowing is done from December to March. The seeds are lightly pressed into the soil, which consists of sand, peat and leafy soil. The seedling container is covered with foil on top. The first seedlings appear in 10-15 days. When 2-3 true leaves appear, young plants dive.
Seed-planted begonias can bloom by mid-summer. Their formed tuber in the fall is placed in peat or sand, where it is stored all winter at a temperature of + 8- + 10C. With the onset of warm spring days, tubers can be planted in prepared pots.
Tuberous begonia care is as follows:
- A pot with a half-deep tuber is placed in a dark, cool room.
- The soil is moderately moistened for several weeks.
- After the emergence of shoots, the flower is exposed to a permanent bright place, and the tuber is completely covered with earth.
Begonia - care, diseases and features of flowering
There are several diseases that begonia is susceptible to.
Fungal
- Gray rot. Appears due to frequent watering. First, flowers are affected, then fungal spores multiply and infect the leaves and trunk. To prevent the growth of fungus, remove old petals on flowers in a timely manner and reduce the frequency of watering.
- Powdery mildew. The leaves are covered with brown spots. To prevent illness, monitor the humidity and temperature in the room. Remove all parts of the plant affected by the fungus. Pay attention to the lower leaves and core of the begonia. Treat the plant with a fungicide.
- Shield. The leaves and flowers of begonia are covered with a thick, sticky bloom. Brown plaques are observed on the inside of the leaf and on the cuttings. Remove all plaque with soapy water and treat the plant with insecticide.
- Aphid. Black insects appear on the leaves. The plant dries quickly. Growth stops and leaves curl. Phytoncidal and insecticidal infusions are suitable for treatment.
Improper care
- Leaves turn pale and shoots stretch out - lack of light.More common in winter. Provide the plant with an extra light source.
- The intensity of flowering decreases - an overabundance of light and humidity. Ventilate the begonia.
- The edges of the leaf turn brown and dry - dry air and heat. Limit direct sunlight and humidify the air.
- Flower buds fall and flower buds dry out - low air humidity. Humidify the air, but not the plant.
- Flowers are dropped - a sharp change in temperature and humidity. There may be adaptation to a new location after purchase.
- Leaves and stems turn black - the plant is frozen. This applies to garden begonias.
Growing and reproducing begonias - possible difficulties
Florists, especially beginners, may have some difficulties in growing a plant. Some possible questions can be answered below.
Why do begonia leaves turn yellow?
The yellowing of the leaves can lead to:
- lack of nutrients;
- lack or excess of moisture;
- pests in the soil.
If insects are in the ground, then it is best to replace it with a new one. In this case, the roots should be treated with a weak solution of potassium permanganate.
Why is begonia drying?
Begonia leaves can dry out for the following reasons:
- Pests
... If the leaves begin to dry and turn yellow, they must be carefully examined, especially from the underside. If pests are found, it is recommended to treat the flower with insecticidal preparations. - Dry air
... Delicate begonia leaves can be affected by dry indoor air. First of all, the tips of the leaves begin to dry on the plant. Most often, indoor plants suffer from dry air in winter when heating radiators are turned on. Increasing the humidity in the air will eliminate the drying out of the foliage. - Drafts and cold air
... Growing flowers in a draft and cold air from open vents can be another reason for dry leaves on a flower. - Lack of fertilizer
... Begonia can dry out due to a lack of fertilizers in the soil, which must be applied regularly from spring to autumn.
Why do begonias drop buds?
On a weakened bush, the flowers do not have enough strength to open up. This may be due to a lack of minerals or improper watering.
Why does indoor begonia not bloom?
There can be many reasons for this:
- drafts;
- lack of a rest period;
- watering with hard water;
- excess fertilizer;
- unsuitable temperature regime;
- low humidity;
- lack of lighting.
Having studied all the rules for caring for a flower, you need to observe it. It is possible that the plant needs to be rejuvenated or transplanted into new soil.
What if the plant doesn't bloom?
Begonia can be propagated by tubers and cuttings. We will talk about tuberous below. After processing the flower, a twig may accidentally fall off, then we will calmly plant it and grow another beautifully flowering bush.
If you put the cutting in water, it will root very quickly. And it is better to plant it in wet sand, because it does not carry fungal diseases.
Cover with a container on top to create a greenhouse effect and within three weeks the cutting takes root. The container, if it is a plastic bottle, must have a hole through which air passes.
And in general, this houseplant loves an acidic environment more, so do not overdo it with peat in the soil.
Like all flowering plants, it happens that the hostess beats, beats, but does not see the flowers. Then he waves his hand at the whole thing and gives it to someone or throws out a bush.
But before this drastic measure, we are trying to understand the reasons for this phenomenon.
- First, an excess of nitrogen may be the cause.
- Secondly, the temperature is not suitable.
In order for the plant to bloom, during the transplant period, you need to pick up a pot that is smaller than the crown. So the roots will be a little oppressed, and she will give all her strength to bloom.
Indoor plants are found in almost every apartment, in every house, they not only purify the air and saturate it with oxygen, they decorate the interior, make the home atmosphere much more comfortable and nicer. Moreover, there are plants whose benefits are special, and for a favorable atmosphere in the house, you must definitely put a couple of flowerpots on the windowsill.
Diseases and pests of begonia

... This is facilitated by low air temperature and excess moisture. Affected shoots and foliage must be removed. The remaining parts of the bush and the soil are treated with fungicides. - Pale leaves
they say that the plant has little light. - Powdery mildew
loves dry air and temperature fluctuations. Its appearance is indicated by a white powdery bloom on shoots or leaves. The bush must be treated with a 1% solution of colloidal sulfur. - If the leaves turn brown at first
, and then fall off, then, most likely, your pet does not have enough air humidity and watering.
Of pests
begonias are most susceptible to attack by aphids and spider mites. They settle on the back of the leaf plates and feed on the sap of the plant. You can get rid of pests with the help of insecticides.
Flower leaves are able to purify and heal the air in the room. This is possible due to the fact that they contain a lot of phytoncides. That is why begonia is effective in the fight against pathogens (staphylococcus).
The flower cleans the air of toxic compounds and dust. It is able to enhance mental activity, relieve fatigue, increase efficiency, increase immunity. That is why potted indoor begonias can be seen not only in apartments, but also in offices.

Indoor plants need to be watered abundantly, especially in hot weather. In this case, water in the sump should not accumulate.

If the begonia is tuberous, then do not forget that it sleeps in winter. The plant must be placed in peat and completely stop watering.
Top dressing
Home care requires a special vitamin supplement for plants, as the earth is depleted over time. The flower should be fed once every 14 days, as soon as it bloomed.

If you do not stop in time to surround yourself with elements of nature, you can feel health problems. And even cataclysms will not keep you waiting. According to feng shui, everything should be in balance, and a person should always remember this.
Progress is good, but care for the harmony of body and soul should be put at the forefront of everything, and this can be achieved with indoor plants. It is impossible to imagine an office without flowers. These will be empty rooms, not attracting attention, dull and dreary. But it is worth putting at least one pot of flowers, the mood of the workers changes, it seems, even the sun shines brighter.
Plants cleanse offices and apartments from the negative and harmful chemical compounds that come from furniture, computers and electronics, floor coverings. Working with a flower in a laboratory environment, Feng scientists make new discoveries about the plant, and draw conclusions as to why the plant is so beneficial for humans. The fact is that green-leaved beauties are equal in palette to the chest chakra. It is endowed with the properties of balancing, restoring human strength.
Therefore, before buying an air conditioner, practitioners consider a hairdryer, you need to get indoor flowers first. An honorable place among them is occupied by begonia, which belongs to yin energy, soft, calm. And if there is difficulty in choosing an indoor flower for the office, then it is the best option. And according to Feng Shui, a flower, besides the exchange of energy, is also a symbol of wealth and material well-being.

The most important thing is for the plant to remain healthy. Only then will it protect the house.
To place a tiger begonia correctly, you need to take into account the color of its flowers:
- red - suitable only for the bedroom;
- white - for the living room or hallway;
- pink - ideal for placement in the kitchen.
This variety will bring happiness and abundance to the apartment. It is not recommended to put several types of begonias in one room. This will have a bad effect on the energy sector, since different varieties will conflict.
According to signs, a withering plant absorbs negative energy. It is believed that tiger begonia is more resistant to magical effects and can even endure a cemetery love spell. This flower is transplanted only into a white, light pink or beige pot.

These plants are actually very beautiful, and some are even original. Begonias are used in flower arrangements and are simply kept on the windowsill. Some blooming begonias look like a bunch of small roses. Others strike exotic species with leaves.
However, there are those who plant begonias to attract good luck, love, prosperity and positive energy. All this is promised by folk signs and beliefs.
Dangerous "friends"

You need to choose the right plants for your home. For example, curly flowers are best used only for their intended purpose. It is undesirable to buy vines with sharp and narrow leaves for the home. Climbing plants reflect offensive reflections from the sharp corners of the room and the ledge of the walls. To activate the energy at home, it is advisable to purchase flowers with fleshy and rounded leaves. Flowers with leaves and stems directed upwards and not downwards feed well with positive energy.
Now cacti have become fashionable, they are in almost every home, but this plant should be alarming. Cacti carry negative energy instead of positive. Their energy seems to permeate the living space. They are able to neutralize the harmful radiation of many household appliances:
- a computer;
- microwave;
- television,
- notebook.
The plant, being close to the equipment, will remove their negative effects of magnetic vibrations. For this purpose, it is also good to put a fern instead of a cactus.
Among the flowers with negative energy are azalea, as well as wax ivy. In addition, wax ivy scares off grooms if there is a bride in the house. Bad radiation comes from palms with sharp and thin leaves.

Poisonous indoor plants for cats
Danger can lurk everywhere. Houseplants that are poisonous to cats can cause serious poisoning symptoms that any owner should be aware of.
Pet owners know that their pets often have a tendency to taste odd things at times. For example, cats often gravitate towards plastic or wool, and especially diligent cats happily chew the upholstery of the sofa. And of course - houseplants, which at a certain period of a cat's life, and only she herself knows which one, become part of her diet. Whether it's garden plants, houseplants, wild plants, or flowers from your local store, they can all provide a tasty and tempting diet for a cat that may be at odds with its health. Poisonous houseplants for cats can be a serious problem for many owners.
Veterinarians recommend adding dietary fiber to your cat's food, such as bran. It is believed that this approach will reduce the animal's craving for crunching a juicy aloe vera leaf, but there is no reliable evidence of this theory yet. Once in a while, the cat still gnaws at home plants. Some associate this with cleansing the stomach, but this statement is only relevant for dogs, which in this way stimulate the gag reflex. Cats do not have such a phenomenon, at least it is officially considered so.
When the first signs of poisoning appear in a cat - drooling, loss of appetite, uncontrolled acts of defecation and urination, impaired coordination of movements, vomiting and others, you should immediately provide first aid and consult a veterinarian. Fresh teeth marks on a particular plant will help determine which species the cat was poisoned with. Although it should be additionally noted that few of them are capable of causing any really serious poisoning effect of such force that it is worth worrying about the cat's life.

Feng Shui and Royal Begonia
If we take it from the perspective of a flower horoscope, then the flower protects those born with the zodiac sign Aries. And the color of the leaves is red, according to the element of fire, and the planet Mars, which is "friendly" with the outgoing Mercury. If Mars through begonia leaves increases human activity, then Mercury helps to think and find a common language with people around. The union of planets in one plant helps a person to overcome many obstacles, even stuttering passes without a trace.
Among other species, the royal begonia is remembered with a dark green color, which "plays" in the sun in different colors: red, metallic, blue, purple. His homeland is Malaysia and India. Loves moisture and heat at the same time. In the shade of the living space it dims, as if angry with people - they put it in the wrong place.
The royal variety is more suitable for office premises, is indicated for smoking lovers, and for those suffering from bronchitis - the sharp pain is short-lived, quickly goes away. This is good in working conditions. Just imagine how a few people will start coughing, starting from seizures. And if we take into account that more than 60% of smokers work in the office, and a large part with respiratory problems, then this flower is invaluable for such premises. This is the prevention of bad habits and chronic diseases.
As you can see, the role of flowers in life is great. Love them, give them love, help solve problems.

It is believed that the syngonium is the keeper of the hearth. Also, due to the rapid growth of the plant, it is called a symbol of positive change, for example, many believe that a flower can speed up the patient's recovery. And the plant's ability to change as it grows (the shape and even the color of the leaves can change dramatically over time) led to the idea of the need to find a flower in the house, which is high time to give up the painful craving for the past tense. So if you need to get rid of something old that interferes, it's time to get a syngonium. Planting a plant in the bedroom has also been found to help reduce unpleasant dreams. And the list ends with the superstitions associated with the syngonium, the belief in the ability of a flower to bring success to its owner in business.
This plant got its name in honor of the botanist M. Begon, who studied it in the 17th century. The family of begonias unites more than 400 different species, which differ from each other not only in external signs and structure of the root system, but also in biology. Of the several groups of begonias, the main three are the most common.
The first is bushy evergreens with beautiful flowers, the second is tuberous with very large original flowers, and the third is deciduous evergreens with large ornamental leaves of an original color with painting. The third group is valued precisely for its leaves, their flowers are ugly and inconspicuous.
Royal begonia, or river begonia, is native to the rainforests of Java, the East Indies and the Malaysian Islands. Its leaves reach 30–35 centimeters. The color of the leaves is original, very beautiful and varied: dark green with a blue tint, gray with a satin, pearlescent, metallic or reddish sheen, light green with a border and spots of the same shade - red, brown, purple or dark. Some leaves appear webbed due to large protruding veins, while others look like crumpled velvet on top.
Their royal majesties grow well on northern windows. In dark rooms, the color fades, and the pattern is distorted or completely erased. Begonias are moisture-loving, but unlike many other plants, they cannot be sprayed. Moisture on the leaves causes burn-like spots.
Begonia is good for hospitable homes, where all kinds of people are constantly visiting. And these different people have different energies, including negative ones. Begonia acts like a filter with an ionizer - it passes all the energy through itself, and then, having purified it, returns only positively charged energy to the house.
Royal begonia, with its green-red leaves ending in sharp triangles, corresponds to Aries. Its influence is similar to an accelerator, a catalyst of processes. Royal orders and wishes at all times and in all countries were carried out very quickly.So it is enough for Her Royal Majesty to settle in your house, and your pace of life will accelerate, you will become faster and more decisive to act, think faster and find the right words. Communication with people will cease to be a burdensome duty. You will begin to enjoy communication, as the eloquence you have acquired will be noticed and appreciated. You will begin to win arguments and, in any difficult situations, prefer verbal battles to physical ones. If duels were still popular and the enemy gave you a choice of weapons, you would not hesitate to choose the word.
Begonia purifies the air and is simply irreplaceable if you suffer from bronchitis, especially chronic. It is also good in the homes of heavy smokers.
So you see the slogan: "Every smoker - a begonia!"
Corresponds to the year of the Goat according to the Eastern calendar.
The type of temperament corresponds to choleric people.
Tuberous begonia with large bright flowers is a Taurus plant native to Brazil and Mexico. Prefers partial shade, afraid of cold and waterlogging. Will be happy with regular watering at the same specific time of the day, preferably in the morning. Airing should also be regular, but keep in mind - begonia does not tolerate drafts! Carries the energy of peace and harmony. Reconciles spouses, extinguishes conflicts between generations (if Turgenev had begonias in his house, he would never have written the novel "Fathers and Sons"). Imperceptibly and unobtrusively, the energy of begonia brings a whisper of intuition to the ears of a convinced materialist, and a clear voice of logic to a romantic. This flower can often be found in psychotherapy offices, as it relieves mental stress and helps to find simple answers to difficult questions.
According to the eastern calendar, it corresponds to the year of the Boar.
According to the type of temperament, it corresponds to phlegmatic persons.
The ever-flowering begonia is a native of the rainforests of Brazil, where there are so many wild monkeys and Pedro dons. It is not so easy to grow it at home, since this gentle lady is a big lover of water, requires not only abundant watering, but also very humid air, like the warm humid air of the jungle or greenhouses. It grows in small, up to 25 centimeters, bushes with many branches, densely covered with medium-sized, slightly beveled leaves to the edge. It blooms with medium-sized white or pink double flowers.
Astrologically corresponds to the sign of Cancer. It helps sentimental people who do not dry out from tears while watching TV series, as its energy restrains emotions and interferes with the development of depression. For all of us, even the biggest "lucky ones", life goes on in stripes, now white, now black. If you look within yourself, remembering past events, then, most likely, you will be able to clearly establish the start and end times of a particular band. And if you are now looking for a way out of the next labyrinth of life, try asking begonias for help. Of course, this is not Ariadne's thread, and she will not lead you out of the black streak. But “just” will help you turn off your emotions and calmly and reasonably look at the situation from the outside. And you will be surprised how easy it will be for you to find a way out.
For those who “spread their thoughts along the tree”, begonia helps to find the exact expressions, the right words at the right time. It also helps to overcome the so-called starting barrier - the fear of starting something. A plant of businessmen, it brings special luck to trade operations and transactions. Develops sensitivity and intuition.
According to the eastern calendar, it corresponds to the year of the Rat.
The type of temperament corresponds to melancholic.
If you are greatly offended, or you are angry, or you are sad and grieving, in a word, you are at the mercy of strong emotions, try meditating on begonia. Tell her everything that haunts you, share your innermost and secret with her, as with your best friend, trust her. Begonia will gently take you out of emotion, return you power over yourself and the ability to reason coolly and impartially.True, there is one small "but" here - meditation on begonia makes sense only if you have complete understanding with it. If you are not always attentive to the flower, it is better not to meditate on it, as meditation will lead you away from solving the problem and deepen your inner crisis. In the absence of contact as a result of meditation, you will simply find words of self-justification and strengthen yourself in a false understanding of the situation.
It is an extensive genus that includes up to 1,000 species, most of which are found in tropical and subtropical regions of Asia, Africa and America. Currently, more than 12 thousand hybrids and varieties of begonias are known.
It became famous in the 17th century, thanks to the outstanding naturalist Charles Plumier, who, on the instructions of the French government, studied the flora of the West Indies. Charles Plumier named his discoveries after natives or prominent personalities, so begonia was named after the lover and collector of plants, the Governor of San Domingo Michel Begon, who organized a series of sea expeditions to collect rare and exotic plants. In 1960, these expeditions brought the first tulips, coffee trees and magnolias.
They are distinguished by their diversity. Among them there are plants that amaze with their beautiful flowers, and plants valued for the beauty of the leaves, tiny species and three-meter vines. Among them there are also capricious plants that are difficult to care for, and vice versa that do not require special care. Certain types of begonias are planted in flower beds in summer, due to their decorative effect and high adaptability.
In addition to their aesthetics, they are also useful. According to the statements of Russian scientists, the volatile secretions of begonias (white-spotted begonia, silver-spotted begonia, castor-leaved begonia and Fitz's begonia) kill colonies of many molds, as well as bacteria. In a room with begonias, the total number of bacteria decreases by 70-80% within a week, and molds by 30%. In addition, there are medicinal plants among begonias, and residents of countries where begonias are found in the natural environment, use some of its species for preparing salads.
It is believed that thanks to begonias, the atmosphere in the house becomes more balanced, therefore it is recommended to breed begonias for emotional people. Begonia purifies the energy of the home, it should be planted in homes where there are many different people.
Red-leaved begonias have a good effect on the bronchi, cleanse the airways, they are recommended to keep for smokers and people suffering from bronchitis.
For successful growth, it is necessary to take into account some of their features:
