Easy Ways of Increasing House Plants
The most successful ways of increasing house plants in the home without help from a greenhouse or heated propagator are; cuttings, division, plant-lets, layering and offsets. A pot of potting compost is gently firmed and holes made for a pencil so that the lower leaf on the cutting sits just above the surface. The cuttings are then dipped in rooting powder. Stand the pot in the base of a large polyethylene bag and tie the top with a twist. Keep it somewhere warm but out of the sun. The divisions can then be re-potted into the same type of compost as that in which they were originally growing and kept in a warm but not sunny place until they start to grow.
If your home is small and limited in windows suitable for growing plants, some foliage plants should interest you. None of these plants grow large in average home conditions, and all have remarkable foliage, interesting for its pattern, color, or form. Give any of these top billing by placing them where they can be enjoyed close at hand. In addition to their appeal as living, growing examples of nature's artistry, they'll serve as valuable a decorative role.
Because they're small, it's an easy task to shift them from more congenial daytime locations (insofar as healthy growth is concerned) to a tabletop, where a pool of lamp light can focus attention on subtle foliage patterns or curious habits of growth.
More than in other forms of indoor plants Dubai, plantings of an atrium should be chosen with due consideration for local climate. In warm regions, you can grow almost anything in an atrium that will grow outdoors. On the other hand, in colder growing zones, the atrium would, in all likelihood, be operated as a cool greenhouse (night temperature in the 50s, day temperatures in the 60s), thus ruling out heat lovers such as the amaryllis, and slowing down growth of air plants terrarium preferring warmer house temperatures.
But choices are still vast. Such broadleaf evergreens as camellias, azaleas, and gardenias make excellent choices, and all can be kept to desirable heights with pruning. Grass is not a good choice for ground cover, since it requires mowing. But periwinkle, pachysandra, ajuga, dichondra, ivy, and many others make a green carpet that takes little attention other than watering. Buy house plants online in Dubai from Stem and Leaves.
