Indoor plants with a pleasant smell. Fragrant houseplants: the exquisite comfort of your home
“They say that to exude a fragrance means to squander oneself,” wrote the poetess Irina Feshchenko-Skvortsova. Green friends grow in our flowerpots, who give us a part of their soul - a noble and exquisite fragrance. So, who are they, the most fragrant houseplants?
Plectranthus(room mint). This plant with curly light green leaves is able to water the house with an amazing fragrance of mint - you just have to barely touch it. Loves bright spaces good watering. With careful handling, it grows quickly. Belongs to the same family as peppermint. I have not seen official records regarding eating, but at my own risk I sometimes add it to tea and ice cream. But what is true is true: the aroma of plectranthus has calming properties and ensures good sleep.

Gardenia. She is english rose. The viscous languid fragrance of this green miracle is impossible to forget. Often it is part of perfume compositions and is used as a solo scent. Caring for this houseplant is not easy, but the effort is worth it. Carefully! There were reports on the Internet that this flower needs to be fed ... with meat. If you want to send this exotic to another world, use this advice. If you want him to stay longer on the windowsill, in no case do this: even small pieces of meat clog the soil. It is more correct to use meat water: rinse the container where there was fresh meat or fish, drain into a bottle. And, before watering the plant, carefully filter this water through gauze (in order to remove meat or fish pieces).
spice plants. Namely, noble laurel, rosemary, which can be eaten, are great for keeping at home and fill the room with a pleasant aroma.

However, it is extremely difficult to keep them at home - you need to spray a lot, protect them from dry air. The most "survivable" at home is cypress, cypress, araucaria. But they also need to be looked after very carefully.
Here is such a fragrant bouquet can be collected on one windowsill. Of course, smelling indoor flowers are natural air fresheners. Unlike synthetic means - "boots" unpleasant odors based on a combination of artificial substances, domestic green friends do not destroy, but improve health. Another important difference with household chemicals: the aroma of indoor plants does not irritate the sense of smell (smelling synthetics can ruin it). And most importantly in such "spirits in flowerpots" - they are a gift from Nature itself.

Exotic fragrances.
I would call the queen of room fragrances. The subtle refined smell of even one flower very pleasantly aromatizes the room, giving it an oriental flavor. Great for living rooms.
A place for gardenia should be chosen bright and with a constant temperature, watered only with soft water.
A strong aroma comes from hoya flowers, or, as it is also called, from wax ivy. The plant is easy to propagate by cuttings, it is advisable for him to choose a place in the shaded part of the house. unpretentious plant, very durable.
Watering is less frequent than other plants. In the bedroom, this flower is definitely not suitable, because the smell intensifies at night, and not everyone can sleep in such a room.
Stephanotis, or Madagascar jasmine, has a very refined smell. The white waxy flowers of this creeper smell like a mixture of jasmine and ylang-ylang. Very noble and refined smell and not intrusive.
It is undesirable to place several plants with a strong aroma in the same room. The maximum number of flowers with a strong aroma in one room is two flowers per opposite corners. At the same time, airing the room should be done daily so that the aroma is always fresh.
Essential oils and fragrances.
Flowers alone are not enough to create the scent of your home. They will come to the rescue essential oils. The impact of oils on the state of health and the psycho-emotional state of a person has long been known.
Thanks to its beautiful appearance and exotic origin, lemon will become a real decoration of your home.

Pelargonium is a species of the Geramiaceae family. Often, fragrant pelargonium is called smelling geranium. The confusion in names comes from the fact that the plants have a very similar leafy part, and they are all identified in the same family. Geranium is called a plant called Herb Robert, and also called cranes-bill due to the shape of the fruit of the seed box or storks-bill for its resemblance to a bird's beak.
Pelargonium leaves have a very peculiar appearance. They have beautiful, sometimes deep cuts, their curved shape sometimes resembles a frill. The spectrum of color of their deciduous part is from light green to dark green, and the leaves of some species have cream, red and even purple colors. The plant reaches a height of 30 to 80 cm.
The Geranium family of the genus Pelargonium has more than 200 species. Among them, five of the most common types can be distinguished, these are:
- decorative leafy;
- ivy or balcony;
- fragrant;
- English, they are noble;
- zonal (standing).
You can also pay attention to the sixth species - these are succulent pelargoniums, they have more fleshy stems and an original appearance, for which they are often used in flower arrangements and.
A green shoot can sprout roots simply in a glass of water; such water can be saved from rotting by dropping a little wood ash. After the sprout takes root, it can be planted in the soil with the addition of sand and charcoal, drainage must be laid at the bottom of the pot. Do not forget that lemon geranium does not like stagnant water.
You need to put the flower on the windowsill where there is a lot of bright, but diffused light, in dark light the plant will stretch and turn pale.
Necessary care for lemon geraniums
Geranium growers are often faced with the problem of rare flowering and "correct" this shortcoming with generous fertilization or bright afternoon sun. This is not worth doing. The main reason why lemon geraniums don't bloom is over-fertilization and heat. Fertilizers can provoke the growth of luxurious green mass, but not flowering. You can correct the situation with two days of abundant watering, this will help wash off the fertilizers from the root system and after that you immediately need to return to the normal irrigation regime without.
Fans of geranium flowers should remember that only zonal geraniums prefer very bright light and if there is not enough of it, they stop blooming.
In the cold season, they even need additional lighting to stimulate their flowering. Other types of plants should be placed in places of partial shading, especially in daytime days and summer time.
Lemon geranium will tell you about insufficient lighting with its increased growth and light leaves, by which it expresses the need for sunshine at least 6 hours a day.
With increased growth, you need to pinch the shoots and the plant will grow in width.
IN winter time geranium must be carried away from a cold place, the temperature of its content should be + 8-12 degrees.
Caring for lemon geraniums is not difficult, you just need to follow the basic rules for keeping the plant. Basically, you need to properly monitor the lighting, hide the flower from direct sunlight, you need to water it infrequently, but regularly and not very plentifully, spraying is allowed only in extreme heat.
The right soil for planting geraniums
The percentage of soil acidity plays an important role when planting geraniums. The plant does not tolerate a decrease in soil acidity of less than 5.5 pH, otherwise the plant stops feeding. For normal nutrition, lemon geranium ground should be slightly acidic and equal to 6.5 pH.
While watching the video, you will learn about the plant in more detail.
A convenient capacious flowerpot, properly selected soil and compliance with all the rules for plant care will make your lemon geranium beautiful, lush, smelling and blooming.
