Flowerpot name with the letter c. Flowers with the letter "c". Types of houseplant

Orchid family

This epiphytic orchid has flowers often of delicate greenish, cream and yellow tones with purple spots and a relatively long curved tube. But there are species with a pure white, sparkling flower and an amazing aroma.
Cologins need warmth all the time. The minimum night temperature during the growth period should be at least 15°C. There are species that do not have a pronounced dormant period - these are Massanzha cologina, beautiful cologina, pandurovidnaya cologina. Other species - combed coelogues, bearded coelogues - have a short winter dormancy, when the temperature can be reduced to 7-10°C. (This is easy to ensure by blocking the window with the plant from warm air rooms with a polyethylene screen or just a thick curtain.) Reduce watering during the dormant period.
Compared to other orchids, cologins are more demanding on batteries. Therefore, in a mixture for epiphytic orchids, you can add a little dried cow dung or increase the proportion of rotted leaves. Do not forget to feed the plants on time.
When transplanting, cologins can be divided so that each division has 3-4 pseudobulbs and well-developed roots.

Celosia flower

Amaranth family

Plants differ in the nature of the inflorescences: in C.plumosa they look like fluffy brushes, in C.cristata they look like velvety cockscombs. Celosia is sometimes sold as a flower plant. open ground however, indoors it can bloom for many weeks. She needs sunlight and regular feeding. The flowering period will last longer if celosia is kept in a cool, well-ventilated area. Usually the plant reaches 50-70 cm in height. Celosia can be grown from seed, but it's safer to buy a greenhouse plant.

Types of houseplant

C.plumosa blooms red or yellow flowers summer; there are dwarf varieties - Golden Plume and Kewpie. C. comb (C.cris-tata) has a flattened inflorescence.

• Temperature: Moderate, 10-15°С.
• Lighting: Light-loving, it is necessary to shade from the hot sun.
• Watering: Abundant.
• Air humidity: It is useful to spray the leaves from time to time.
• Transfer: The plant is thrown away.
• Reproduction: Seeds in spring at a temperature of 15-18°C.

Ceropegia flower

Family Lastovnevye

Of the variety of ceropegia (and there are more than 150 species), Wood's ceropegia is the most common. This species is valued for its unpretentiousness, good reproduction rate and unusual appearance. Ceropegia Wood's flowers sit on long stalks in the axils of the leaves. The corolla tube is swollen at the base and slightly curved so that it resembles an uneven jug or vase in shape. On the body-pink background of the tube, the petals look very unusual: dark brown, densely pubescent, they touch at the tips, forming an arch over the entrance to the flower. The sight is so unusual that Ceropegia is sometimes called the "Martian".
At good care ceropegia blooms profusely all year round, but if your conditions are not quite suitable for her, you should not be upset.
Ceropegia prefer bright diffused light, do not like spraying and stagnant air. Try to ventilate the room more often. The only requirement for soils is a light, crumbly structure. Grow well in a mixture leaf ground with sand (2:1) or leaf, sod land and sand (2:2:1).
You can try ceropegia as "living curtains" for an east or west window. They are also suitable for decorating the interior at some distance from the south window. In winter, Ceropegia prefers cool or moderate heat.
Due to its rapid growth, Wood's ceropegia ages rapidly. It is useful to rejuvenate every 3-4 years. Ceropegia is cool to fertilizers, it is better to transplant it regularly into fresh soil every 2 years.

cyanotis flower

Family Kommelinovye

The name "cyanotis" captures a deep Blue colour petals of this desert plant ("cyanus" - in Greek means "blue"). Cyanotis is a close relative of tradescantia, but differs from it in petals fused into a single tube. It remains only to complain that in room conditions cyanotis blooms very irregularly. However, even non-flowering cyanotis is very attractive. The glossy leaves above are densely dotted with long stiff bristles, giving the impression that the plant is wrapped in a fur coat. The leaves are collected in squat rosettes, similar to a star. With good care, cyanotis forms dense thickets, filling the entire surface of the pot. Side shoots are remotely similar to Tradescantia, which first grow horizontally, and then take root and give new rosettes.
Cyanotis needs a lot of bright diffused light and little moisture. Watering should be moderate, preferably in a pan, allowing the soil to dry well. In summer, water 1 time in 3-5 days, in the autumn and spring months - 1 time in 7-10 days, and in winter you can limit yourself to two waterings per month. Cyanotis responds well to winter coolness.
To soils, like all commeline, cyanotis is undemanding. Mix peat, leaf soil and chopped sphagnum in equal proportions, neutralize the acidity of the substrate with wood ash (1 tablespoon per 1 cup of the mixture). Cyanotis grows well in wide, but shallow dishes. Fill the pot, leaving about 1/3 of the height empty. As you grow, sprinkle the bases of the shoots with soil, in this case you will not need to rejuvenate the cyanotis too often.
Cyanotis is propagated by cuttings. The secret of success is not to disturb the natural direction of growth. Horizontal side shoots will take root best if they are placed in the substrate parallel to the surface, but not sprinkled on the growing point. For rooting, only a slightly moist substrate is needed. In no case do not fill the cuttings and do not use plastic bags to increase humidity - under these conditions, cyanotis easily rots.
In the rooms, cyanotis suffers from a lack of light: the leaves become lighter, the tops are strongly drawn out, the plants tend to the window. The lack of light can be compensated by dryness and coolness, which inhibit growth. For the summer, cyanotis can be taken out to the balcony, shading it from the bright midday sun.

Cyclamen L. flower

Primrose family

Cyclamen is one of the most popular winter flowering potted plants. It is truly charming: compact, with beautiful flowers on long peduncles, with decorative foliage in silver-green patterns. Flowers with recurved petals of bright or pastel colors, large and conspicuous, or small and fragrant. Unfortunately, most cyclamen are thrown away after a few weeks, although they may bloom year after year for months on end. First of all, try to get a plant in the fall, and not in the middle of winter; choose one with a lot of unopened buds. Place it in a suitable location - a north window is ideal for this. Cyclamen loves coolness and does not tolerate direct sun. In a warm room, he will not live long.

Secrets of success in flower care

• Temperature: Moderate - about 12-15 ° C.
• Lighting: Bright diffused light.
• Watering: Abundant, it is advisable to use the immersion method and soft water.
• Air humidity: The pot is placed on a tray of pebbles or wet peat. It is useful to spray the air around the plant from time to time.

• Reproduction: Seeds in late summer at a temperature of 15-20°C. Most varieties bloom in 15-18 months, miniature forms - in 6-8 months.

• Yellowing leaves, strong and healthy flowers
  Cause: Common cause is warm, dry air; Cyclamen does not tolerate temperatures above 17 ° C. Other possible causes are insufficient watering and direct sunlight.
• Plant death, flower stalks and leaf petioles are soft and rot
  Reason: Waterlogging of the soil, especially when watering from above. Never pour water on the top of the tuber.
• Short flowering period
  Reason: There are many possible reasons, the most likely ones are too heat, improper watering and dry air, Feed regularly during the growth period and during flowering.
• Deformed, small leaves
  Cause: Cyclamen mite.

Cymbalaria flower

Family Norichnikovye

Cymbidium Sw. flower

Orchid family

Since cymbidiums do not need a dormant period, they are easy to keep in a low-heated room in winter and are easy to care for. Their only drawback is big sizes most species, which creates difficulties for their maintenance in apartments. Flowers persist for a long time and exude delicate fragrance. In length, the leaves reach 1 m. Pseudobulbs are located quite closely, therefore, when transplanting and dividing the bush, special care must be taken.
Cymbidiums are light-loving orchids: you need to shade them only if you keep them in a greenhouse and the direct rays of the midday sun fall on it. Their resistance to temperature extremes is high: from 32 ° C to 5 ° C at night. In summer, unlike other orchids, they can be taken out on Fresh air, and in the autumn months - even water cold water. Thus, cymbidiums are so hardy that even novice indoor flower lovers can grow.
Water evenly, but reduce watering during flowering. Transplant the plant every 3-4 years, preferably immediately after flowering.

Cineraria flower

Family Compositae

An adult cineraria (the correct name is bloody ragwort) is always a good gift. Many daisy-like inflorescences-baskets (usually incorrectly called flowers) of the most diverse colors - white, purple, purple, pink, red - rise above the soft heart-shaped leaves. Very spectacular plants with large inflorescences of the Grandiflora line, reaching 45 cm in height. The tallest of the cineraria - forms of the Stellata type - reach 70 cm or more in height, bloom with small star-shaped "flowers". At the opposite end of the scale are low, compact, profusely blooming with bright "flowers" Nana-type cineraria. Buy a plant that has a lot of unopened buds and only a few blooming inflorescences. The flowering period lasts 4-6 weeks. Unfortunately, cineraria can die a week or two after purchase if kept in too warm a room or watered incorrectly.

Types of houseplant

There are many hybrids of S.cruentus, which differ in stem height, color and shape of inflorescences. Generally, the inflorescences are similar to those of a daisy with yellow tubular flowers in the middle, surrounded by narrow or wide marginal pseudolingual flowers ("petals"). In plants of the Grandiflora group, the "petals" are usually with a white base. There are "terry" varieties, in which the center of the basket is hidden under the "petals", but they are not very common. Cineraria looks like a leafy bush - quite tall and spherical in the case of Grandiflora (sometimes need support), low and compact in the case of Multiflora Nana. Varieties of the Syellata group have a spreading crown. Cineraria are bought in late winter or in early spring. After a few weeks of flowering, they are usually discarded.

Secrets of success in flower care

• Temperature: Moderate, preferably 8-12°C.
• Lighting: Bright diffused light.
• Watering: Abundant, desirable warm water. Does not tolerate waterlogging of the soil.
• Air humidity: The pot is placed on a pallet with pebbles or in wet peat. From time to time, it is useful to spray the air around the plant from the udder.
• Care after flowering: The plant is thrown away.
• Reproduction: Difficulty. In the middle of summer, seeds can be sown in a cool greenhouse.

Particular difficulties in caring for a plant

• Yellowing, wilting leaves
  Cause: Cold drafts are likely cause, although wilting of leaves is the first sign of insufficient watering. The plant may recover if it is watered and moved to a place protected from drafts, but the flowering period will inevitably be reduced.
• Short flowering period
  Cause: Temperature too high. At temperatures above 15 ° C, the plant cannot live for a long time. Excess sunlight and lack of moisture can also lead to a shortened flowering period.
• Sudden plant death
  Cause: Waterlogged soil due to frequent watering or poor drainage.

Cyperus flower

Sedge family

In Britain, cyperus is called - "umbrella plant". Cereal leaves of different widths - from very narrow, hairy, to rather wide, diverge at the ends of stiff stems like the spokes of an open umbrella. When caring for this plant, only one immutable rule should be observed: the roots should always be wet. The pot is placed on a deep tray or in a pot with water. Cyperus is grown more for its overall appearance than for its beautiful leaves. Small, initially greenish, and then brown spikelets are of no particular decorative value. Cyperus is good to use in compositions with other plants or planted in a "bottle garden", for which dwarf varieties are selected. Cyperus is easy to grow and propagate and is rarely attacked by pests. To stimulate growth, yellowing stems should be cut.

Secrets of success in flower care

• Temperature: Unpretentious, but it is desirable that in winter the temperature does not fall below 12 ° C.
• Lighting: Bright light or partial shade, requires shading from direct sun in summer.
• Watering: Requires waterlogged soil; no need for drainage holes in the pot.
• Air humidity: Requires frequent foliar spraying.
• Transfer: Every year in the spring.
• Reproduction: The division of the bush during transplantation.

Cyrtomium falcatum flower

Fern family

In a mild subtropical and tropical climate in the coastal strip, sickle-shaped cyrtomium grows, which is widely cultivated in European countries in room conditions. In Russia, it is still rare, but this highly ornamental plant is quite resistant to dry air and winter coolness, so it can be recommended to grow it more widely.
The fronds of the Cyrtomium are bluish-gray, brown rounded clusters of spores are visible from below, covered with transparent coverlets. Leaves are leathery, hard. They are drawn and sickle-shaped at the top, for which the view received the epithet "crescent". Most decorative forms the margins of the leaflets are serrated, with short bristles. The leaflets sit on a common petiole and form a pinnate wai structure. The petiole is black-brown, attached to a creeping rhizome. The rhizome is also unusual: it is densely covered with broad light brown scales.
Leaf soil, peat, pine bark and sphagnum (2:1:1:1) are added to the soil mixture for cyrtomium. You can additionally lighten it with one part of the sand.
Care consists in regular watering, more abundant in the summer. If the temperature is below 18°C, a slight drying of the earthy coma is acceptable. Since cyrtomium grows on slopes in nature, it does not like stagnant moisture, so do not leave water in the pan for a long time. During the growth period, give mineral fertilizers (1 time per month). They can be replaced with organic extracts such as "Rainbow", "Ideal", etc. Like most ferns, cyrtomium loves diffused light, grows well on northern, eastern and western windows.
Cyrtomium reproduces by dividing the rhizome, but only if it has several growth points. Cut off the lateral link of the rhizome at the branch and plant in a separate flowerpot. Reproduction by spores is possible, but difficult to implement.
In winter, with an excess of heat, cyrtomium can affect scale insects and scale insects.

cissus flower

Grape family

Cissus is an evergreen herbaceous vine that clings to a support. It got its name from the Greek word "kissos", which means "ivy". In nature, about 350 species are common, which grow in the tropics and less often in the subtropics.
The most popular in indoor floriculture are two types: antarctic cissus and rhomboid cissus. Both species are creepers clinging to a support with the help of antennae. Antarctic cissus has large, up to 10-12 cm long, 6-8 cm wide, oval-elongated with a heart-shaped base, dark green leaves. The edges of the leaf blade are serrated. In cissus rhomboid, the leaves are trifoliate, rhomboid. In both species, spirally twisted antennae grow, which extend from the shoot opposite the places where the leaves are attached. By this feature in the location of the antennae, all plants from the Vinogradov family can be easily identified.
They react negatively to a sharp temperature drop and low humidity. In the spring-summer period, it should be abundantly watered and sprayed with water, avoiding either stagnation of water in the pan or dryness of the earthen coma.
Every 10 days they are fed with liquid organic or mineral fertilizers rich in nitrogen-containing substances. If brown spots begin to appear on the leaves along the edges, it means that the plant lacks nitrogen. In summer, you can take it out to the balcony, protecting it from direct sunlight.
in winter optimum temperature air 12-14°С. At the same time, watering is reduced, spraying and top dressing are stopped. But if you have a sufficiently high air temperature at home and in winter, then spraying continues, but a little less often than in summer.
In the spring, before the start of the growing season, it is advisable to prune and pinch the tops of the stems. This will encourage more branching and the plant will look more bushy and attractive. The stems remaining after pruning can be used as cuttings for propagation. Cissus easily rooted both in water and in any loose, moist substrate.
They are transplanted annually (in spring) into a nutrient mixture consisting of equal parts of soddy, leafy soil, humus, peat and sand.
Damaged by scale insects and spider mites.

Usually blooming in summer, the orange tree can bloom with fragrant white flowers and bear small bitter fruits almost all year round. Care is simple: citrus trees need only good drainage, absence of drafts, adherence to the irrigation regime, abundant top dressing and a fairly low (but not too low) temperature in winter. In the summer they should be exposed to fresh air. Two tips: the flowers should be pollinated with cotton swabs, and in case of yellowing of the leaves, which indicates a lack of magnesium, apply a special MultiTonic fertilizer.
