In the rush of everyday life, we can forget about the proper care of flowers, which causes their condition to deteriorate. Unfortunately, some plants have very high requirements, the fulfillment of which determines their condition.
Therefore, if we have little time to devote to them and we sometimes forget why we keep a watering can at home, it is best to choose plants that do not require frequent watering. We present a list of plants that are beautiful and at the same time resistant. Here’s a list for the busy ones.
Aloes it is a real classic among plants considered resistant. It has minimal water requirements and has medicinal properties. It works especially well on the skin, moisturizing it and helping to soothe irritations.
Just cut the leaf and apply the pulp to the area after, for example, a burn or an insect bite – it should bring relief. Therefore, it is worth having aloe at home. It likes bright light, but cannot stand in direct sunlight. It is worth remembering that we water the plant only when its substrate dries out.
Living stones, or lithops, are truly extraordinary . These succulents actually resemble stones and require minimal care. They can be grown in groups, creating unique compositions.
They have fleshy leaves that store water, so they do not need to be watered often. We do it in spring and summer, and in winter we completely limit irrigation. Plants like warmth, high air humidity and a lot of bright light, but not directly falling on them.
The star cactus, or Astrophytum myriostigma, is also known as the “Bishop’s Cap.” It is a plant with almost no thorns, a star-shaped shape and a blue-green color. It may bloom yellow in spring.
The plant does not require frequent watering – we only do it when the soil is dry. It needs a bright place indoors and fertilization during the growing season. Then it will be an interior decoration.
Aspidistra elatior, or Aspidistra lofty, is an ornamental perennial known for its resistance to difficult conditions. Suitable even for shaded rooms. It needs a permeable substrate. It tolerates dry air and can grow at room temperature, although it prefers temperatures of around 10-15 degrees Celsius.
It is watered moderately – preferably when the top layer of the soil is dry. Due to its high resistance, it is very popular not only in homes but also in offices. Its leaves are called “iron”.
Sedum Morgana is a charming succulent, called “donkey’s tail” in English. It produces hanging shoots covered with fleshy leaves. It is extremely resistant and easy to propagate – if the leaves fall off, they can be rooted. It looks best in hanging pots.
Sedum Morgana should be placed in a bright place and watered only when the soil is completely dry. It is enough to do this once every dozen or so days. When it comes to the substrate, it is best to choose soil intended for succulents for the plant.
