We all love the idea of going home and, opening the door, finding ourselves in front of an explosion of colors, buds and petals. However, many do not appreciate the flowers severed. Also, buying fresh ones is very expensive in the long run. Why not choose gods flowers suitable for indoor spaces then?

The red and orange flowers
There clivia it is evergreen, flowering in late winter. During the cold season it should be kept in a very bright position, not too close to heat sources (the ideal is 15-18 degrees). It will be watered once a week, as well as the begonia (which in the summer can also be outside).
Then there is theanthurium: its “modified” leaves are ruby red in color and are called spathes. It needs a very bright spot in the house, but not exposed to direct sunlight, and a lot of water.
The “Christmas Star”(Poinsettia, or Euphorbia Pulcherrima), perhaps not everyone knows, can last well beyond the holidays. This deciduous (i.e. large and slightly lobed) shrub native to Mexico has small, yellow flowers. It requires very little care: it should only be wet when the earth is dry.

White flowers for apartment
The spatifillo it has white flowers and very bright green leaves. It requires some extra care: in fact, in order not to get sick, it is necessary to cut the withered stems at the base. It has a fairly high ideal temperature, around 21 degrees, but the soil must be constantly moist.
Another perfect white flower for the interior is theorchid. Being a tropical plant, its minimum temperature in winter is 16/18 degrees, which makes it perfect for an indoor flower. It should be wetted once a week by immersing the jar in water for a few minutes. It requires a lot of light, but never direct.
