It is very common to look for flowers to have at home, but for them to develop well they need a lot of light, something that cannot always be provided. However, non-flowering houseplants are somewhat easier to care for since they can be kept in rooms where the sun’s rays do not reach directly.
There are many species that are very interesting, such as the popular climber goldenmuch better known by the name of pothos. It is very resistant and decorative, like the ones I am going to show you below.
Aspidistra
Aspidistra is the classic plant that we find in our grandparents’ houses. It is very adaptable, to the point that it can be had both in a very bright corner and in another something more shady. In addition, it can be planted in universal substrate for plants, and even in black peat alonewhich will be watered once a week, increasing the frequency to two in summer.
Calathea
Calathea is grown for its beautiful, decorative leaves that will add color to any room. They look especially good in the living room, or at the entrance if it is protected from drafts. Of course, it is a little more delicate than Aspidistra, so I recommend that you plant it in a substrate composed of black peat and perlite in equal parts. Water it 2-3 times in summer, and the rest of the year it drops to 1-2 / week.
Palms
While there are palm trees that exceed 7m, even more, there are others that can be grown in pots for many years. Some forever. Put them in a very bright room, water them 2-3 times a week during the hottest months and 1-2 / week the rest of the year, and sure you will have them beautiful. The most recommended species are:
- All of the genus Chamaedorea: C. elegans, C. metallica, C. seifrizii…
- Howea forsteriana (Kentya)
- Deeply shining (Areca)
- phoenix robellini
Ferns
Ferns are magnificent plants that will help you decorate rooms with little light. Water them often, about 3 times a week, especially during the summer season. Plant them in a porous substrate (Black peat and perlite in equal parts, for example) to avoid waterlogging and subsequent rotting of the roots.
Do you know other indoor plants without flowers?
