Business and Housing

Overall completely green plants of a species can better withstand low light condition or the variegated colors. Also many plants to reach flowering, they require high levels of illumination.

Decorative conveniences often take precedence over the priorities of the plants, and even though we must learn to accept that the plant becomes a decorative element outdated, but longer lasting than a bouquet of flowers.

The combination of water and light plays an important role in the survival of plants in our homes. Less light means less and less water. The most common is that the plants receive little light and for a few hours.

Under these conditions the plant opens its stomata only partially, the role of chlorophyll, and transpiration are reduced to minimum. If excess water the plant in the low transpiration takes too long to evacuate water from the substrate, so that the most likely root rot. The drowning of the roots is the most common cause of death for houseplants.

Not be watered with the schedule (weekly, etc.). But when the plant needs it and more in summer and less in winter. Just insert your finger into the substrate to determine whether it is time to water again.

Light and plant health

Light is a key in the cultivation of interior species (and any plant). Plants need light to perform photosynthesis, some need a stronger light and others living with very little.

Without light there is no photosynthesis, which is the process by which plants make their own food, sugars (carbohydrates) that consume all the cells in their tissues.

When a plant does not have the light you need, this is manifested in their health.

The lack of light can cause:

* A pale and weak.
* Few or no flowers.
* Let the leaves fall.
* A general weakness, and even a little later, death.

Some species require plenty of light and others live well in low light. The latter, the sites can grow in poorly lit house.

In general, most houseplants prefer home sites with good light but no direct sun on them. Beware of being placed near windows, you must know if they harm the sun or not.

But you can also protect them with shutters and curtains times of day when the sun is strongest.

Plants need more light can be put in rooms facing south. In the north-facing, better come to tolerate less light intensity.

In the amount of light in a room also influenced by the colors of the walls and furniture (furniture, white walls and light colors, more light). Also if there are mirrors and glass. And of course the number and size of windows.

If the light comes very focused on the floor, turn it occasionally, it’s good because it gives light equally to all of it and more balanced development.
