How to grow different types of house plants

Hello Everyone

Today we will talk about House Plants.Plants which can be kept inside house in rooms.That means. plants need very less sunshine.They can be grown partially or fully indoors.Houseplants are in various shapes ,sizes and color. We can broadly categorize as below :


  • Ferns 
  • Palms
  • Foliages 
Ferns
Ferns hate direct exposure to sunlight.The position should be shady and soil should be well drained and moist.Ferns can be propagated through spores and root division.Root division is a simple method with respect to propagating through spores.
Root Division

Fern Spores
 Propagating through spore takes time.Place the spores in a peat mixture in a pot. Set the pot in a saucer of water to
 allow the moisture to seep up through the entire mixture.
Then put the moistened pot into a plastic bag in a sunny, warm location.Fern spore propagation will take some time. Watch for a slime-like green coating(green algae) on the surface of the peat. This is the beginning of the process and over many months you will begin to see small leaf appearing out of the slime.



Selecting Ferns

When growing ferns indoors, choose a spacious area, as they tend to grow long leaves that shoot out in all directions. Indoor ferns are especially suited to hanging from ceiling hooks in remote corners of rooms that receive the maximum amount of light but are rarely,if ever, touched by the direct light of the sun.
Boston Ferns: These are the most popular of the houseplant varieties.
