10 ideal houseplants for the kitchen (decorative and deciduous)

So, for the greening of the kitchen only drought-resistant, resistant to temperature changes, which do not require copious spraying, hothouse conditions and complex plant care are suitable.

Here is a list of indoor plants that are great for keeping in the kitchen:

.

1. Chlorophytums;
2. Aglaonemes;

4. Sansevieria;
5. Zmiyokulkasy;
6. Aspidistra;
7. Cacti;
8. Tolstyanki (red);
9. Philodendrons;
10. Nolines (bokarnee).

Chlorophytum in this list is in the first place not only because of its unpretentiousness, but also the ability to clean and moisturize the air. It is so good that he is called an ambulance of the air and even in spaceships where it is impossible to ventilate the space. Therefore, in the presence of plastic kitchen furniture, for example, from chipboard, and gas stove, it is recommended to get them, and one flower for the kitchen will be enough. In addition, in the period of flowering, small and delicate white flowers grow in chlorophytum.

All indoor plants in the interior of the kitchen look harmonious and immediately make it more comfortable. Chlorophytum is no exception.

Put it on top of the headset, high on the shelf or plant in a suspended pot any where, but not in the shade. A half-shadow is acceptable, but remember that the closer to the light it will grow, the brighter its leaves will be.

The next favorite for the kitchen is Aglaonema, once famed for her "role" friend of the protagonist of the film "Leon". This evergreen herb like chlorophytum perfectly cleans the air, but worse tolerates temperature changes and needs more air humidity.

Aglaonema with green leaves can be placed in the depths of the kitchen, and plants with variegated leaves should be kept closer to the window, but not under the direct rays of the sun. The leaves need to be cleaned regularly from dust, which is not so difficult, since they are relatively wide.

It can be grown almost anywhere, as it is tolerant of temperature changes and even artificial lighting, which, however, makes it completely green. Where to put it? The best place in the top of the kitchen set, on the shelf of the cupboard, in a hanging pot, etc. Of course, long indoor plants in the interior of the cuisine in the style of Provence look most organic.

But in any other style from the classics to the Scandinavian minimalism epipremnum will be appropriate.

Now let's talk about 4 participants in the list of the best plants for the kitchen - sansevierii, which is also known as "tawny tongue" or "pike tail".

Due to its bright color and the shape of leaves resembling kelp or flame of fire, in the interior kitchens of any style "pike tail" looks very impressive, and with a lot of growth, it can play a role accent. In all modern styles - Scandinavian, minimalism, high-tech, modern and loft Sansevieria maintains the restraint of lines and shapes, as seen in the photo below.

But it can fit into the kitchen interior in a classic style.

We examined only the most popular plants, because in one article you can not tell about all 10 species from our list.

How and where to keep flowers in the kitchen correctly

Determining which plants are best for your kitchen is best, you need to take into account the lighting of the room. For the northern side, shade-tolerant specimens are selected - the same sansevieri, zamiokulkasy, ficus with dense green leaves. And for a well-lit kitchen you can choose a palm tree, hibiscus, croton or even an orchid.

The most important rule is to learn about the requirements of plants for care, even before purchasing. So you avoid unnecessary waste and disappointment.

Even the most unpretentious flowers in the kitchen will not hold out long if they are placed incorrectly. Here are the following recommendations:

1. Near the shell, the plants are not placed - none of them will stand the constant spray of fat and soapy water.
2. Flowers in the kitchen should match the dimensions of the room - the larger the room, the more large copies in it will be appropriate.
3. Do not forget that decorative-deciduous trees are often more unpretentious than blooming ones. And the latter are very sensitive to lack of light.
4. Near the stove, above the burners, near the window opened for airing (in winter), flowers can not be placed.
5. At the top, air is the driest, so the plants located here will have to be watered and sprinkled more often.

1. Strongly smelling flowers - not the best choice for this room, but fragrant spices will prove to be the most appropriate.
2. Pot plants can decorate and a dining table - only better to prefer a miniature and fully healthy specimen.
