Indoor plants play an important and significant role in the lives of many people. For example, any flower has its own special aura, which has been proven by biologists. The interaction of some cultures with each other can positively or negatively affect the human body. In addition, man and plant depend on each other
This explains the preference of certain varieties and types of plants by flower growers. Indoor aspidistra is now very common among lovers of flower cultures.
Characteristics and features
Aspidistra is an evergreen plant and came to the modern world from the forest area of southeastern Asia. It is also popularly called snake grass. The roots of the plant protrude to the surface of the soil and are similar in appearance to the body of a snake. In addition, they resemble them with a scaly structure. Dense foliage is very close to each other, preventing even the smallest mammals from seeping through themselves. For this reason, in calm and calm weather in nature, the plant shows a snake lurking in it by swaying its leaves. The aspidistra also has another popular name - "friendly family". The leaves stand very tightly to each other and, like the roots, have scales on their surface.
There are many species and varieties of this plant. But such varieties of aspidistra, such as tall and variegated, are especially known to an ordinary person. Many centuries ago, the presence of an aspidistra in palaces and mansions was considered an indicator of status and high financial standing. But the fashion for such plants passed quickly, as other crops began to appear immediately. However, after the wicker chairs were invented, and the ancient interior became a sign of luxury, the aspidistra returned to their place in wealthy homes.
At home, aspidistra is a fairly unpretentious flower that can respond normally to a lack of care, but does not like excessive attention to itself. He does not like the plant when it is stroked on the foliage, which manifests itself even in the appearance of aspidistra due to the characteristic metallic luster and hard texture of the leaf plates. Aspidistra has many beneficial properties, but people appreciate its calming effect and relieve irritation to a greater extent. The flower feels great on the northern windows, which few cultures can boast of. It will be comfortable for the aspidistra in the shady zones. The sun's rays are not necessary for such a plant, although sometimes the flower is not averse to being under artificial lighting.
Aspidistra is recommended to be placed in those areas of the house and apartment where negative and negative emotions accumulate. The leaves of a plant can break one large cloud of bad energy into many small ones. In England, aspidistra was given another popular name "cast iron plant". It is believed that this flower is capable of instilling confidence and a desire for victory in a person.
With regard to the care of aspidistra, it is very unpretentious and tolerates almost any conditions well. Large-sized aspidistra leaves are always green, and they also tolerate shading well. True, artificial lighting will still have to be provided for the plant. The flower does not like the sun's rays, although in the dark the leaf plates become lighter and sharply lose their aesthetic qualities. Bright lighting is necessary for those species of aspidistra where there are colorful leaves. But the rays should still not touch the surface of the plant. As a place for planting a flower, it is better to choose a shallow one. But a wide pot. Here the leaves and roots will grow efficiently and quickly.
In order to avoid bending the arrows of the leaves, it is sometimes required to turn the plant a little. Also, a special stand is needed for a container with a flower, since the soil on the floor can become cool and interfere with the normal development of the root system. The best circumstance for an aspidistra is constant care, while observing its minimum. During transplantation, the pot for aspidistra should be the same as the previous container, but you can choose a slightly larger size. All procedures should be carried out within the allotted time. Aspidistra gets along with almost all plants, but it is important not to change their neighborhood later. Loves flower and calm quiet music, as well as moderate conversation. Watering and fertilizing in no case should exceed the measure.
