Photos and names of some of them are presented in our article. Let's find out more about them.
Unpretentious flowering houseplants
A big plus of these plants is that they are able to grow in absolutely any conditions: moisture or dryness, darkness or light, clean air or dust - they, by and large, do not care. They can break through to life in the most difficult circumstances, these houseplants are so unpretentious. Photos of some of them are presented below. There are many different names among them, only a few can be named: fuchsia, begonia, hibiscus, abutilon, clivia and so on. The list is quite impressive and voluminous. Of course, one should not think that these and similar plants should not becare at all. Everyone needs care and attention, and flowers, even unpretentious ones, are no exception. Another question is that these plants need less careful care than their more gentle counterparts. Below we will dwell in more detail on some representatives of the most unpretentious indoor plants (with a photo and a brief description).
Geranium/pelargonium
The story about this amazing flower should start with the fact that it is far from being who it claims to be. The flower, known to most under the name of geranium, is actually called pelargonium. But true geranium does not belong to the most unpretentious indoor plants, but to garden plants. We will not talk about it now, but we will still touch on the features of pelargonium. You can recognize it by its specific pungent smell, which performs two functions at once: repels insects and cleans the air. Pelargonium loves sunlight very much, but not too much moisture. Or rather, in moderation - if you pour a flower, it can simply rot. And although pelargonium belongs to unpretentious indoor plants (pictured below), in terms of watering it is quite demanding: in the cold season it needs dryness, but in the hot season the flower should be watered quite plentifully, although not too often.
It cannot be said that pelargonium blooms all year round, although it is close to this: provided that the room is kept at a normal temperature (that is, not hot and not cold), the plant will bloom for ten months - with the exception of the most frosty December and January. The appearance of pelargonium is truly pleasing to the eye - its buds are white, red, crimson, and the size of the bush can be both high and low. It depends on the amount of light that hits the plant.
Pelargonium can be propagated both by seeds and cuttings. The second method is more convenient for breeding plants at home. This is a simple matter - you just need to cut off the apical shoot and make sure that it takes root. It is important to remember that the most suitable soil for this unpretentious flowering houseplant (photo shown) is a combination of humus, sand, turf and leafy soil.
Pelargonium has one significant disadvantage: if you stay close to it for a long time, it can provoke a headache. Therefore, it is not recommended to place a flower near sleeping places and places of rest.
Begonia
Another unpretentious indoor plant (pictured), whose name is translated from Latin as "always blooming." This is a begonia that pleases the eyes of its happy owner all year round. Its flowering is very plentiful, and there are more than twenty different species of this plant. A bright blood-red variety of the flower is especially distinguished - it is painfully good. Begonia loves light very much, the more it is, the brighter it blooms. The plant does not require special care at all; in summer it can even be on the balcony at night. The only thing that does not tolerate too much is the lack of heat, you need to try to maintain the temperature at least twenty degrees with a plus mark (more is possible).
Begonia is one of those unpretentious indoor plants that are propagated by cuttings. Her diseases are a fungus, so you need to carefully monitor the absence of dry leaves in the flower.
Fuchsia
Abundant flowering during spring, summer and autumn will provide its owner with a beautiful fuchsia, and with a little more due attention and care, you can watch its wonderful flowers even on cold winter days. By the way, in winter you should not water the plant often - then it will bloom more and longer.
Fuchsia also belongs to unpretentious indoor plants that bloom all year round, but some conditions for caring for it still need to be observed. Firstly, the flower loves coolness (but not cold!), and secondly, it does not tolerate too bright light. It needs constant watering (the main thing here is not to overdo it) in the warm season, but the plant is indifferent to the soil: there is no specific, special soil that it would prefer. Like the above plants, it is easiest and most convenient to propagate fuchsia using cuttings.

Feeding the plant is also not required. However, if it is introduced, then clivia will bloom profusely all year long with short breaks, and the number of buds on a bush can reach thirty at once. Clivia is called an ideal option for people who do not like or do not know how to care for flowers. It is believed that she will survive in any circumstances.
Balmsam
The next name of the most unpretentious indoor plant (pictured) is a light. However, not everyone knows this popular name for this flower, whose "official" name is balsam.

It cannot be called blooming all year round, but the balsam pleases the eye for quite a long time - from the very beginning of summer until the end of autumn.
Although balsam loves light, it cannot stand direct sunlight. He loves heat and moisture, but you do not need to overheat and pour it. But constantly spraying is even recommended.
