For lovers of flowers and other plants now expanse. There are so many different species that can be grown at home on the windowsill. True, most of them are quite capricious and have certain nuances in growing. This does not suit everyone, but those who are too lazy to take care of green friends carefully can get unpretentious indoor plants. Photos and names of some of them are presented in our article. Let's find out more about them.
Unpretentious flowering houseplants
The big plus of such plants is that they are capable of growing under absolutely any conditions: moisture or dryness, darkness or light, clean air or dust - they, by and large, do not care. They can break through to life in the most difficult circumstances, so these indoor plants are unpretentious. Photos of some of them are presented below. Among them there are many different names, you can name only a few: fuchsia, begonia, hibiscus, abutilon, clivia and so on. The list is quite impressive and voluminous. Of course, one does not need to think that these and similar plants should not be looked after at all. Everyone needs care and attention, and flowers, even unpretentious, are no exception. Another question is that these plants need less thorough care than their more tender colleagues. Below we dwell in more detail on some representatives of the most unpretentious indoor plants (with photos and a brief description).
Geranium / Pelargonium
To begin the story of this amazing flower follows from the fact that he is far from being who he claims to be. The flower, known to most under the name geraniums, is actually called pelargonium. But true geraniums are by no means the most unpretentious indoor plants, but garden plants. We are not going to talk about it now, but let us touch upon the peculiarities of pelargonium. You can recognize it by the specific pungent odor, which performs two functions at once: it repels insects and cleans the air. Pelargonium is very fond of sunlight, but moisture is not too much. Rather, in moderation - if the flower is transfused, it can simply rot. And although pelargonium refers to unpretentious indoor plants (pictured below), it is quite demanding on watering: in the cold season, it needs dryness, but in hot weather it should be watered abundantly, although not too often.
It cannot be said that pelargonium blooms all year round, although it is close to this: provided that the room is at a normal temperature (that is, not hot and not cold), the plant will bloom for ten months - with the exception of the frostiest December and January. The appearance of pelargonium is truly pleasing to the eye - its buds are white, red, raspberry shades, and the size of the bush can be both high and low. It depends on the amount of light that enters the plant.
Pelargonium can be propagated by both seeds and cuttings. The second method is more convenient for breeding plants at home. This is a simple matter - you just need to cut off the apical shoot and make sure that it takes root. It is important to remember that the most suitable soil for this unpretentious flowering houseplant (photo presented) is a combination of humus, sand, turf and leafy soil.
Pelargonium has one significant minus: if you stay close to it for a long time, it can provoke a headache. Therefore, it is not recommended to place the flower near berths and places of rest.
Begonia
Another unpretentious houseplant (pictured), the name of which is translated from Latin as “always flowering”. This is begonia, year-round pleasing the eyes of its happy owner. Its flowering is very plentiful, and there are more than twenty different species of this plant. The bright blood-red variety of the flower is especially distinguished - it is painfully good. Begonia loves light very much, the more it is, the brighter it blooms. The plant does not require special care at all, in the summer it can even be on the balcony at night. The only thing that does not tolerate too much is the lack of heat, you need to try to maintain the temperature at least twenty degrees with a plus mark (more is possible).
Begonia belongs to those unpretentious indoor plants that propagate by cuttings. Her disease is a fungus, so you need to carefully monitor the absence of dry leaves in the flower.
Fuchsia
Ample flowering during spring, summer and autumn will provide its owner with beautiful fuchsia, and if you show a little more due attention and care, you can watch her wonderful flowers even on cold winter days. By the way, in winter you should not often water the plant - then it will bloom more and longer.
Fuchsia also refers to unpretentious indoor plants that bloom all year round, however, some conditions for the care of it still need to be observed. Firstly, the flower loves coolness (but not cold!), And secondly, it does not tolerate too bright light. He needs constant watering (the main thing here is not to overdo it) in the warm season, but the plant is indifferent to the soil: there is no specific, special soil that it would prefer. Like the above plants, propagating fuchsia is the easiest and most convenient way with cuttings.
Clivia
There is another unpretentious houseplant, whose name is clivia. This amazing bell-like flower originally lived in South Africa. Clivia is very beautiful: its yellow, orange and red buds are quite large, the leaves are dark green, elongated, elongated. The flower takes one of the first places in the list of names of the most unpretentious indoor plants. It is indifferent to light and shadow, cold and heat. Clivia can grow and bloom really in any conditions. She does not like only excess water - but who in general loves overflows?
Fertilizing the plant is also not required. However, if you add it, then clivia with short interruptions will bloom profusely throughout the year, and the number of buds on a bush can reach thirty at once. Clivia is called the ideal option for people who do not like or do not know how to care for flowers. It is believed that she will survive in any circumstances.
Balsam
The next name of the most unpretentious indoor plant (pictured) is the light. However, not everyone knows this popular name for this flower, whose "official" name is balsam. They called him a spark because large bright flowers practically hide the leaves of the plant behind them, and it seems that this is not a flower, but the light lives in a pot. It can not be called blooming all year round, but balsam is still pleasing to the eye for quite some time - from the very beginning of summer until the end of autumn.
Although balsam loves light, it does not tolerate direct sunlight. He loves heat and moisture, but there is no need to overheat and overfill it. But constantly spraying is even recommended. The plant must also be propagated by cuttings, and at the age of about three to four years it is worth transplanting it.
Spathiphyllum
The unusual name - spathiphyllum - also belongs to the list of unpretentious indoor plants (photo below). Another name for this flower is a flagolist, and its distinguishing feature is beautiful snow-white buds with a delicate interesting aroma. He loves heat, humid air, does not tolerate direct sunlight. However, it will bloom under any circumstances - just worse than we would like.
The plant will not die, even if left without water and light for a week - but, of course, it is not worth experimenting with this. As for the soil for this flower, you should stop your choice on the combination of humus, peat, sand and sheet land.
Abutilon
Indoor maple - it is under this name that this flower is known to most amateur gardeners. It is called so because the characteristic shape of the leaves of the plant is very much like maple leaves. All that the abutilon needs is constant lighting and regular moderate watering. Therefore, it can be safely attributed to unpretentious flowering indoor plants (pictured below). Observing these simple rules, you can organize at home the year-round flowering of this plant. Otherwise, abutilon will delight its owner until the fall, and with a reduction in daylight, the flowering of indoor maple will also decrease.
Every spring, abutilon must be cut off by about a third, and the plant can propagate by cuttings in both spring and summer. Abutilon is unpretentious to the soil, but the most suitable option for it is a combination of humus, sand, leafy soil and turf.
Calla Ethiopian
Calla is often confused with spathiphyllum - both plants have beautiful white buds. However, they are not even relatives.
Calla blooms in the cold season: it starts in November, and ends in May, in summer the plant rests. Therefore, during this period, the flower should be watered less, and you should not move the pot with it to avoid falling leaves. In all other respects, calla is very unpretentious: it tolerates any temperature and both the absence and the presence of light.
Decembrist
Among the names of unpretentious and flowering houseplants (photo is attached below) there is one that evokes thoughts of a holiday, miracle, magic. Christmas, or Decembrist - a bright fiery color, pleasing to the eye all year round. It is believed that the year will be happy if a plant with a festive name blooms precisely on the bright holiday of Christmas.
The Decembrist is very unpretentious: he does not need bright light, he is not afraid of high and low temperatures, he easily tolerates the absence of moisture. Although in fact the Christmas tree loves water. It is recommended to spray it every day (namely spray, do not water). A feature of the Decembrist is that during flowering he must certainly be in the same place. If you move the flower, it will drop its bright, juicy buds - “from fear”.
Phalaenopsis
Beautiful impregnable orchid is a favorite flower for many, and phalaenopsis is its most undemanding appearance. In the list of unpretentious indoor plants, he occupies an honorable place: almost does not require any personal care.
Phalaenopsis loves daily abundant watering (early morning is ideal for this), but does not like direct sunlight. The flower needs high humidity, next to it you can place a wet sphagnum or a tray with water. The plant looks very beautiful.
Ruellia
A distinctive feature of this amazing plant is evergreen leaves and daily dying flowers. Yes, yes, exactly: Roullia refers to blooming all year round, however, each new bud of it lives only 24 hours.
It is picky enough to the light, in winter it may not be enough, so you need to carefully choose a place for the flower in the apartment. Loves moisture, but in moderation. Watering roullium should be more often in spring and summer than in autumn and winter.
Indoor rose
The rose is considered the queen of flowers, which is why many seek to grow at home its variety - a room rose. Despite the impregnability, it belongs to unpretentious indoor plants. It can bloom all year in a row, unless, of course, follow it and follow simple rules of care.
A room rose loves sunlight very much, but does not tolerate heat well, so it is important to prevent the plant from overheating.

If you competently approach the cultivation of a plant at home, then its wonderful bright flowers will delight your eyes year-round with a small gap between the formation of new flowers in only seven weeks.
Pachistachis
One of the most popular among unpretentious indoor plants is pachistachis. He is loved, firstly, for his pickiness, and secondly, for unusualness: the flower has original fleshy large leaves, and its buds are very much like candles.
Growing pachistachis is easy. It is enough to remember that he does not tolerate heat. In the choice between warm and cool, the second is closer to the plant, so it is advisable to choose a cool location for pachistachis and certainly in no case should you put a flower pot near the radiators.

Hibiscus
The next in the list of the most unpretentious indoor plants is hibiscus, in other words, a Chinese rose. It blooms with snow-white, pink, bright red buds, and the bush can grow as much as two meters in height. In winter, hibiscus has a respite, but in other seasons he regularly pleases the eye.

The soil for hibiscus is best mixed: peat, humus, sand and turf, while the sand should be less than the rest. Hibiscus should be propagated by cuttings, shoots can be placed even in water, even in sand - they will sprout very quickly.
Sansivieria
This very interesting plant has several names. In addition to the above, they also call him the pike tail or mother-in-law's tongue. The plant received such original names for its appearance.

Crassula oval
Another name for this plant, rightfully listed in the list of the most unpretentious houseplants, is fatty. But to a large number of people it is still known as a money tree. As with pachistachis, this plant has large fleshy leaves that absorb and retain moisture well. It is due to this property that Crassula does not require frequent watering.
