What flowers like shade

Orchids, white palms and gloxinia prefer shade.

Many flower lovers like to keep orchids. This kind of plant does not require too much light. When maintaining it at home, it needs to be placed in a cool and humid semi-shady environment. When the light intensity is too high, it is easy to cause dry and pointed yellow leaves.

White palm is also called Smooth Sailing. This plant has beautiful leaves, white and elegant flowers. It also has a good air purifying effect when placed indoors.

White palm is a plant that is very afraid of strong light. If it is placed in an environment with direct light, it will easily burn the leaves and cause the entire plant to wither.

Many florists may have never grown Gloxinia. This flower has lush leaves, bright flowers, and is highly tolerant of shade. It can grow luxuriantly and bloom normally even in an environment without sunlight.

For the maintenance of shade-tolerant flowers, they prefer a moist semi-shady environment and are intolerant to strong light. When maintaining, they should be placed in a ventilated place with bright scattered light to keep the soil in a slightly moist state.

Usually, you can spray water mist on its branches and leaves, the surrounding air and the ground to increase the air humidity, making it grow more lush and the branches and leaves more green.

However, the hard-leafed varieties are very drought-tolerant and can be watered less in winter. The growth temperature should not be lower than 12 degrees, and the optimal growth temperature is 18 to 25 degrees.

For daily maintenance, as long as the temperature is suitable, you can apply thin fertilizers frequently. It is recommended to use special fertilizer for orchids, usually once every half a month is best. In winter, if there is heating indoors, they will usually bloom around the Spring Festival, which is most suitable for welcoming the new year and bringing blessings.
