There is a more unpretentious, but no less beautiful houseplant than geranium.
Not all lovers of "green pets" like geranium. Some do not like the smell, and some consider this plant too demanding.
For those who don't like geraniums, there is a worthy replacement. Chlorophytum requires almost no care. The plant, whose homeland is South Africa, can go for months without watering.
Chlorophytum is distinguished by its thrifty nature. This plant retains part of the moisture it receives in its roots, which allows the plant to easily endure drought in the wild.
If opponents of geranium need a flowering plant, then gloxinia is an excellent option. You can buy a flowering plant right away, which does not require much attention. The main thing is not to forget to water the flower from time to time.
Gloxinia does not like direct sunlight, diffused lighting is better. In summer, the optimal temperature for the plant is within +23 … +25 °C, and during the dormant period - no more than +15 °C.
