Rest for flowers: what houseplants can be planted in the country?

Interesting ideas

Most housewives believe that houseplants can't grow outdoors in the summer. This is a misconception, as there are many indoor plants that benefit from being transplanted outdoors. All you need to know is their names, location, soil, and transplanting guidelines.

Indoor flowers for summer garden planting

Choose a shaded location for indoor plants. They should receive sunlight only in the morning; flowers thrive in the shade around midday and evening. A small tree or shrub nearby (1-1.5 m) is a good option. Its branches will slightly shade the houseplants from direct sunlight. Exceptions include cacti and pelargoniums, which prefer a sunny location.

In addition to these two crops, the following can be planted in open ground:

  • hibiscus;
  • fat woman;
  • balsam;
  • aloe;
  • Kalanchoe;
  • indoor rose;
  • dracaena;
  • Tradescantia;
  • Chlorophytum;
  • golden mustache;
  • sansevieria.

Rules for transplanting into open ground

Dig up the area where you'll be planting your houseplants in advance. Moisten it, adding humus, peat moss, and sand as needed. Water the plant well and carefully remove it from the pot, soil included. Place it in the prepared hole, cover with soil, and compact it lightly. Afterward, care includes: timely watering, necessary fertilizing, weeding, and loosening the soil.

Note!
After heavy rains, don't rush to water your houseplants; let the soil dry to a depth of 3-4 cm. In hot weather, however, be careful not only to moisten the root system but also to increase the humidity around the foliage. To do this, place containers of warm water near the plants.

Returning to the house

To repot the flowers, water them first. Choose a pot larger than the previous one, as their root system will expand over the summer. To prevent pests, treat the roots with a weak solution of potassium permanganate or another solution.

Next, repot as usual, paying attention to drainage and proper placement of the rhizome. It's possible that the plant may become "sick" during the first two weeks. This is normal, so don't worry – the plant will only need a little feeding.
