Crocus Sieber "Violet Queen" and crocus Tomasini "Whitewell Purple" and "Ruby Giant" are characterized by a violet color with a purple tint. Very interesting is the Sieber tricolor crocus, which represents three colors at once: light lilac petals and a yellow center with a white edging. The Queen of the Blues crocus is painted in a soft lilac color. But the golden crocus “Prince Claus” is generally distinguished by its white color, on top of which, however, some Artist left carelessly graceful purple strokes.

Flower with purple leaves: description

The flowers of this plant are inconspicuous and small and look very delicate against the background of bright foliage. They can be yellow, white or pink. Oxalis blooms for a long time, and 3-4 flowers bloom at the same time, and then, as they fade, they are replaced by new ones.

In many countries around the world, this plant is considered a symbol that brings happiness to the home. It was even popularly nicknamed the “clover of happiness” and is given as a gift in decorative pots for the New Year. There is such a sign: if on the last day of the outgoing year the wood sorrel changes its owner, then it will definitely bring happiness to the house.

Its leaves look like the wings of a butterfly and can fold if the lighting changes. And the main feature of the sorrel is that it closes the leaves in cloudy weather or at night, and in sunny weather, on the contrary, it opens them to the rays of the sun. Because of this, the place where oxalis grows must be chosen carefully. It should be such that the plant does not burn from the sun's rays, but at the same time it should not be in semi-darkness.

Also, the place should be cool, with diffused light. Regular watering is recommended. In nature, it grows in damp places on the banks of ponds and swamps, as well as in the shade of massive trees. Due to prolonged darkness, oxalis will lose the decorative appearance of its leaves, and bright light will simply burn them.

In general, this plant is unpretentious in terms of care. But there are some varieties that require a dormant period, which often occurs in winter. The above-ground part of the plant dies off for 1-1.5 months, and in the spring new shoots appear. During the rest period, the air temperature in the room should be approximately 12 degrees Celsius, but it is not always possible to maintain it. Due to failure to comply with this condition, sorrel often does not grow for many gardeners.

In summer, oxalis needs regular watering, but without stagnation of water. In autumn, watering should be reduced, and in winter, stopped altogether, keeping the soil slightly moist. In dry weather, the leaves can be sprayed, but it is better to do this with boiled, settled water so that later there are no streaks left on the leaves.

The main advantage of this plant is its resistance to pests. And among the diseases it only exposes to rotting of the root system due to excess moisture.

It contains information and in some way affects the human psyche. Purple is considered a “cool” color. Such colors are suitable for contemplation and meditation. Simply observing the purple inflorescences is considered a complete relaxation. Today we introduce perennial plants with purple flowers.

Many people think that the color purple refers to mystical images, symbolizing the night, which, under the cover of the stars, hides a large number of secrets and mysteries.

If we consider the color scheme, then the purple tint occupies a place between red and blue colors. Based on this, these colors are considered somewhat related, harmonizing in general compositions. For example, most experts advise arranging purple-leaved bushes with flowers in blue or purple shades.

Such compositions look quite impressive. In nature, there is a fairly wide range of flowers with a purple color. And without much difficulty you can make a selection of species that will bloom all season, replacing each other one by one.

The most common types of purple flowers

Arizema - this unusual plant is best suited for areas where the soil has been created and is always moist. Flowering begins in late spring or early summer. By the end of the summer period, brightly colored berries are formed from small flowers.

Arizarum is another representative of this family. It also respects shade and moisture. The inflorescences are unusual in appearance, reminiscent of a mouse diving into a hole. They bloom, decorating the arrow-shaped foliage.

Bluebell - among them there are biennials that are transplanted into a flowerbed so that they can bloom in the spring. There are also more frost-resistant perennial varieties. Many varieties are quite easy to grow.

Arctotis is a plant distinguished by large chamomile-like inflorescences on tall, fairly branched stems. In hybrid species, flowers are found in white, yellow, blue, orange and even red shades. They open only on sunny days.

Borets is a tall plant, more suitable for distant areas of borders, and grows normally in the shade. The flowers are helmet-shaped, the peduncle is tall.

Famous among purple flowers

A lilac branch pleases us with its flowering only once a year. But she is not the only one who can bring delicate colors to the garden. There are other lilac-flowered flowers that will liven up your yard throughout the summer and even into fall. A variety of shapes and sizes will allow you to create interesting compositions for every taste. Beautiful lilac flowers - names, photos and care recommendations can be found later in the article.

Unusual handsome man

Many children don't like onions, but rest assured, they will love this variety. We are talking about allium. It has giant ball flowers with tiny lilac flowers on a stem 80-150 cm high.

And with all this, allium (giant onion) is an easy-to-care plant, and even a perennial one. It is unpretentious to the soil, but does not tolerate stagnation of moisture and generally copes well with drought. It needs plenty of sunlight, but it is advisable to plant this flower in closed areas not blown by the wind.

The only condition that allium puts forward is autumn planting. In this case, the bulb must be buried in the soil to a depth equal to its four diameters and leave free space between them, at least 20 cm. If the soil is not rich, it must be fertilized.

Different varieties of allium bloom at different times, but after flowering its foliage dies off, so you should make sure that other plants cover it and the flowerbed is not empty.

Beautiful, fragrant and healthy

When listing flowers with lilac flowers, one cannot help but remember lavender. With it, not only a piece of French Provence will appear on your site, but also an excellent source of raw materials for homemade pillows and bags that promote falling asleep. If you put them in the closet, then things will not only acquire a subtle aroma, but you will also get rid of moths, which do not like this plant.

Lavender grows in the form of bushes on which they are placed

It is propagated by seeds, which is very labor-intensive, or by layering. It is also sold as mature plants in flowerpots.

It should be remembered that this is a heat-loving plant, so if you have a cool climate, it is better to keep it in pots and bring it indoors when the temperature drops sharply.

The main condition for the successful growth of lavender is a sunny and ventilated area, with light sandy soils that drain moisture well. However, she loves watering, the main thing is that the water does not linger. Otherwise, the plant may become a victim of fungal diseases.

Phloxes

This plant has a lot of color options: white, crimson, blue, and will also show itself in all its glory in late spring and summer. It grows well, has a pleasant aroma, is suitable for cutting and attracts butterflies.

Phlox loves sunny areas, but can tolerate light shading. It is easier to propagate the plant by cuttings or layering rather than growing it from seeds. The soil requirements for different varieties may vary somewhat, but it should definitely be loose and well-permeable to water.

Phloxes need to be watered at least once a week, fed with compost in the spring, covered with mulch, and dead inflorescences cut off. For the winter, you need to cut it to a height of 20 cm and cover it.

Once every 2-3 years the phloxes will need to be divided.

Luxurious aquilegia

If you plant this plant on your site, then be prepared in advance for the delight of guests, the envy of neighbors, and the questions: “What is the name of the lilac flower?” Because it is impossible to pass by the aquilegia and not admire it. The name comes from the Latin aquila - eagle, due to the resemblance of the slightly protruding petals to the outstretched wings of a bird.

Aquilegia can be propagated by seeds: they are sown in mid-spring. But in this case, the plant will bloom only next year. If this does not suit you, then you can buy aquilegia layerings or already mature plants.

Oddly enough, this exquisite one is not a self-sowing plant, which is quite convenient, since its lifespan is short - 3-4 years, and by the time the old flowers begin to die, you will have a new replacement ready.

Aquilegia blooms in late spring, for about 4 weeks. To produce more buds, the old ones should be cut off. With such care, re-blooming is sometimes observed.

Aquilegia loves sunlight, but in hotter regions it may suffer from too much sunlight in summer, so it is best to plant it in light shade from trees. The soil should be generously fertilized with compost when planting and then do not forget to feed the flower monthly with water-soluble plant fertilizer.

Unpretentious and beautiful

If you are looking for spectacular and easy to care for lilac flowered flowers, then irises are perfect for you. Their palette is very wide, it does not only include fiery red species. And there are many shades of lilac. They bloom in early summer; there are varieties that bloom again later. Some species have a delicate, subtle aroma, and some have almost lost it during the selection process, but have become larger and acquired an interesting color.

Irises need at least 6 hours of sunlight per day - the more the better. Their rhizomes should not be covered with soil, otherwise they may begin to rot, and this is detrimental to the plant. For the same reason, the soil should be light, with a mixture of sand, and mulching should not be used to prevent moisture from accumulating.

Irises are self-sufficient plants and feel best when planted with their relatives. However, do not forget to leave enough space between them, because they grow quite quickly, and you should be able to easily divide the bushes as needed (every 3-4 years).

Irises reproduce by rhizomes. Although they produce seeds, growing plants from them is not recommended, since this rarely preserves the varietal characteristics. Planting of planting material or dividing the bush is done in August.

For the winter, the foliage needs to be trimmed.

As you can see, not only the lilac branch can boast of a delicate color and aroma, it has many other equally worthy competitors. Although it would be better to say companions, because you shouldn’t limit yourself in beauty.

Nature has not endowed some home and garden flowers with the ability to accumulate chlorophyll, which gives stems and leaves their usual green color. Instead, the lion's share in the structure of cells is occupied by anthocyanins - plant glycosides, due to which the leaves turn red or purple. There are many such amazing plants: some have an unusual color on only one side of the leaves, others have spots, stripes or a pattern along the edge of the leaf, and for others, purple is the dominant color. Among indoor crops with spectacular foliage, you can find both unpretentious ones, capable of growing in almost any conditions, and rather capricious ones to care for, requiring compliance with certain climatic conditions.

Ginura

Translated from Greek, the name of the flower means “woman with a tail.” This fast-growing crop is grown as a hanging plant: shoots up to 50 cm long with alternate carved leaves hang beautifully from a hanging basket or flowerpot. The surface of the leaves and stems is covered with numerous small violet hairs, due to which the entire ginura bush looks deep purple.

Of the fifty natural species, only one is grown indoors - orange ginura. In the warm season, it blooms with small flowers of a rich yellow-orange hue. However, not everyone likes their smell, so it is recommended to pick off the emerging buds. Abundant flowering is most often a sign that the plant has reached maturity and is preparing to die. By this time, it usually grows and significantly loses its decorative effect - it stretches out, turns pale, its lower leaves fall off, and its stems become bare. But this is not scary, you need to cut the apical cuttings 7-8 cm long and root them in any substrate.

Ginura is one of the most unpretentious plants, but for successful growth and development it needs to be provided with bright lighting and long daylight hours. If the flower lacks light, its hairs will lose their purple color and the velvety leaves will turn dark green. If this happens, it is enough to move the ginura to where it will receive a small amount of direct sunlight. After 10-15 days, its leaves will acquire a rich purple hue.

Rules for caring for ginura.

Air temperature	16...+24 °C throughout the year
Lighting	Bright or moderate. In the autumn-winter period, if the room temperature is above +13...+15 °C, it is necessary to maintain a daylight hours of 10-12 hours using fluorescent or LED lamps
Air humidity	Doesn't play a special role. When spraying, do not allow drops of water to fall on the “fluffy” leaves, otherwise unsightly brown spots may appear on them.
	Abundant in summer and moderate in winter. Ginura does not tolerate drying out of the earthen ball in a pot, but after watering it quickly recovers
Top dressing	From March to October every 2 weeks, in winter – once a month
Transfer	Every year in the spring. It is better not to replant specimens older than 2 years, but to rejuvenate them.
	Any loose with a neutral acidity level. It is preferable to use a mixture of equal parts of leaf soil, turf and sand.
Reproduction	By apical cuttings at any time of the year.

The purple leaves of ginura will look great against the backdrop of a brightly lit window or in combination with the light green foliage of other decorative indoor plants. To highlight the beauty of the flower, it is recommended to pinch it regularly to stimulate the growth of side shoots.

Zebrina

Hanging zebrina is another flower with purple leaves. True, only the lower part of the leaves has a rich purple hue. The combination of unusual coloring with silver-green stripes running along the leaf blades gives the flower a special decorative appearance. Zebrina, like most Tradescantia to which it belongs, is distinguished by its unpretentious character and rapid growth. It can be used as an ampelous or ground cover plant.

Hanging zebrina is a practically indestructible plant, one can only envy its vitality: when the nodal points come into contact with the soil, roots appear very quickly, and just as easily the cuttings take root in water or any substrate. Zebrina can be safely recommended to beginners, as it is easy to care for and easily adapts to any room conditions.

Air temperature	16...+24°С throughout the year
Lighting	Zebrina can grow in a shaded area, but the undersides of the leaves will turn pale and green. For normal growth and maintenance of decorativeness, the plant requires bright lighting with some direct sunlight. In winter, when growing in warm climates, it is advisable to provide additional lighting.
Air humidity	Doesn’t matter - the flower tolerates the dry air of apartments very well.
	Abundant after the top layer of soil dries 1.5-2 cm. Overmoistening the earthen clod is unacceptable, otherwise the leaves will dry out
Top dressing
Transfer	Every year in the spring. It is advisable to replace 2-3 year old specimens with young ones grown from rooted apical cuttings

Reproduction	Apical cuttings - they take root well in water at any time of the year.

Zebrina loses its attractiveness with age, so it is advisable to rejuvenate it every year: cut off the tops of the shoots and root in water or a pot with nutritious soil. In this case, at least 5-10 cuttings should be planted in one flowerpot at the same time. After 4-6 weeks, the young zebrina will have grown and will be ready to take the place of the mother bush.

Zebrina hanging

Reo

The rheo flower belongs to the Tradescantia genus, although until recently it was classified as a separate monotypic genus. The plant is named after the female creature of the same name - the nymph Reo, so the species name correctly sounds like Reo tepalsata. In addition to the official name, you can also find others: Rook of Moses, Reo variegated or Tradescantia variegated. They best characterize the general appearance of the plant:

When the rheo blooms, small white flowers appear in a box of boat-shaped bracts.
The leaf plates below are colored crimson-violet, the saturation of which varies depending on the amount of sunlight reaching the flower.
The upper side of the long leaves can be solid green or variegated in color, consisting of longitudinal white and green stripes.

The stem of the reo is fleshy and erect, but in side lighting the heavy shoots bend to the side and hang, giving the bush an arbitrary shape. The height of the stems of an adult plant reaches 50 cm. As they grow, the lower leaves die off and expose part of the stem, which is why the erect shoots resemble miniature palm trees. Like all tradescantia, reo grows quite rapidly, filling a capacious flowerpot with rhizomatous shoots in 1-2 years. Caring for the plant is simple.

Air temperature
Lighting	Reo is photophilous, so the lighting should be bright, but without direct sunlight. With a lack of light, the leaves turn pale and the bright purple color disappears
Air humidity	The plant is undemanding to humidity, but the air in the apartment should not be dry. Periodic spraying with settled soft water is useful.
	Regular, but not too abundant - the soil in the pot should always be slightly moist
Top dressing	From March to October every 2-3 weeks, in winter - once a month
Transfer	Young plants must be replanted annually in the spring. Adult specimens that have reached impressive sizes - every 3 years
	Any for indoor decorative foliage crops
Reproduction	By apical cuttings, dividing the bush and seeds. With the seed method, varietal qualities (colored leaves) are lost.

Reo not only has an attractive appearance, she is able to improve the lives and relationships of household members: drive away grievances and lift spirits, set them in a positive mood and protect them from bad deeds, find and implement new creative ideas, find happiness and harmony.

Reo bedspread

Oxalis

Unlike the above-mentioned house flowers, all the beauty of which lies in the attractive foliage, oxalis is both an ornamental foliage and a beautifully flowering plant. The perennial genus includes varieties with green, burgundy and purple leaves that, under favorable conditions, produce soft pink flowers that rise gracefully above the foliage from spring to fall.

Amateur flower growers rarely use the official name of the plant; you can often hear other “nicknames” from them:

Oxalis - oxalis leaves have a sour taste due to the high content of oxalic and malic acid.
Butterfly flower or Madame Butterfly - triangular leaves, when spread, resemble the wings of fluttering moths.
Day-night - the plant reacts to lighting: at night it folds its leaf lobes, and with the onset of morning it lifts them up.

Oxalis leaves fold into a triangle not only at night, but also in cloudy weather or from mechanical irritation caused by touch or slight shaking.

In general, sorrel is unpretentious, but you need to take into account some growing features.

Air temperature	In summer +18...+25 °С, in winter +12...+18 °С
Lighting	Diffuse light with protection from direct sunlight
Air humidity
	Moderate and frequent to keep the soil slightly moist. It is preferable to water the oxalis in a tray and use purified water with a minimum amount of lime compounds. In winter, you should water much less frequently, as the plant enters a dormant period at this time.
Top dressing	From March to October every 2-3 weeks with phosphorus fertilizer, do not feed in winter
Transfer	Replant as the bush grows, choosing spring or early summer for planting
	Universal for indoor plants
Reproduction	Dividing the bush

When growing Madame Butterfly, you should remember that with the beginning of autumn, the flower stops producing new leaves and enters a dormant period. This behavior should not be a cause for concern, but a signal to change the living conditions: lowering the air temperature and reducing watering. With the arrival of spring, when new leaves appear from the ground, you can return to your previous care schedule.

Irezine

Irezine is a genus of spectacular ornamental deciduous plants with red-violet leaves, among which there are indoor and garden forms. These are low-growing or climbing plants, reaching a height of 50-60 cm. Irezine leaves are round or elliptical, and with sufficient light they are colored a rich red-purple color. If the plant cannot receive the required amount of light, its shoots will stretch out and turn pale, which will significantly reduce the decorativeness of the flower.

When growing irezine, you should remember some care features.

Air temperature	In summer +16...+26 °С, in winter +16...+20 °С. In the summer heat, when the thermometer rises above +30 °C, the leaves may lose their elasticity
Lighting	Diffused light with protection from direct sunlight. The optimal duration of daylight hours is 15 hours, so in winter it is important to use lamps with fluorescent or LED lamps
Air humidity	Frequent spraying with settled soft water is useful.
	Use soft, settled water as the top layer of soil in the pot dries. In winter, when the contents are cool, the irezine should be watered less frequently, but the earth clod should not be allowed to dry out completely.
Top dressing	From March to October every 10-15 days, in winter once a month with a half dose of fertilizer
Transfer	In open ground conditions it is cultivated as an annual. When growing in an apartment, it is necessary to replant after the plant in the pot becomes crowded. Optimal time: spring
	Universal for indoor decorative foliage plants
Reproduction	By apical cuttings by rooting in water or wet sand

The irezine bush will be more lush and attractive if the tops of the shoots are regularly pinched or trimmed. Removing the growing point will result in the formation of numerous side shoots.

Poinsettia

Poinsettia is rightfully considered one of the most beautiful indoor plants. It is customary to sell it on the eve of the New Year holidays, since it is at this time that bright red bracts appear on the bushes - modified leaves surrounding small, inconspicuous flowers. Traditional poinsettia varieties have bright red or burgundy bracts, although varieties have already been bred in which they are white, yellow, peach, pink and even bicolor.

In flower shops, poinsettia is often sold under the name Christmas or Star of Bethlehem. This is due to the fact that the spectacular flowering coincides with the New Year and Christmas holidays: in the USA alone, the number of sales at this time of year is about 100 million copies. It was from there that the tradition of giving a bush with a red “flower” came to us for the New Year.

Poinsettia cannot be called an easy-to-care plant: it is very light-loving, requires regular spraying, and does not tolerate excessive waterlogging, drafts and sudden temperature changes.

Air temperature	18...+25 °С, during flowering period (winter) +14...+16 °С
Lighting	Bright with enough sunlight. In summer it is useful to display the flower in the open air - a balcony or loggia
Air humidity	Frequent spraying with settled soft water is required
	Before flowering – frequent, after flowering – rare
Top dressing	From March to October 2 times a month at regular intervals
	After flowering, the shoots must be cut short, leaving no more than 10 cm from the ground level.
	Slightly acidic soil mixture of clay-turf, leaf and turf soil with sand in a ratio of 3:2:1:1
Reproduction	For apical cuttings: in spring or early summer, they should be kept in warm water so that the milky juice flows out, then the cuts should be air-dried and planted in a mixture of equal parts of peat and sand.

It is very difficult to wait for re-blooming at home, so the Christmas star is usually grown as an annual plant and thrown away after flowering.

In botanical literature, poinsettia is called the most beautiful euphorbia. Like all euphorbias, the plant secretes milky sap, but it does not pose a danger to humans and animals. Poinsettia juice, if it gets on your hands, can cause mild irritation only in people with hypersensitive skin.

Begonia royal

Among the numerous forms of begonias, there are varieties with unusual leaf colors - royal, Mason, their varieties and hybrids. Leaf begonias are grown specifically for their spectacularly colored foliage. Today, many varieties have been developed with large green, silver, pink, burgundy, purple and multi-colored leaves. The creative union of nature and man created forms with intricate patterns, borders, spots, strokes and veins that decorate the surface of the leaf plates. The leaves reach 15 cm in length, and their shape is always asymmetrical. The surface of the shoots and leaves is covered with light fluff - short and thick hairs, due to which they appear velvety.

Leaf begonias are quite whimsical and require certain conditions.

Air temperature	21...+26 °C during the day and +18...+20 °C at night. The daily temperature difference should not exceed 5-6 degrees. In the warm season, it is useful to take them out into the fresh air, provided that the outside temperature is within acceptable limits
Lighting	Bright diffused light with some sun in the morning or evening. To avoid pulling the bush to one side, you need to rotate the pot around its axis 45 degrees weekly.
Air humidity	Frequent spraying with settled soft water is necessary. Do not allow drops to fall on the leaves.
	Soft (preferably boiled or filtered) water after the top layer of soil in the flowerpot has dried
Top dressing	From March to October 2 times a month with complex mineral fertilizer
Transfer	Every year in early spring
	A slightly acidic soil mixture of leaf soil, peat and sand (vermiculite), taken in a ratio of 2:1:1
Reproduction	By dividing rhizomes, leaf cuttings, fragments of leaf blades in conditions of high humidity

Some varieties of begonias shed their leaves for the winter and enter a dormant state. Having noticed this behavior of the flower, it is necessary to remove the dried leaves, dry the soil and place the plant in a plastic bag. After 6-10 weeks, when the begonia resumes its growth, you can return to your previous care schedule.

Conclusion

The presented indoor plants with red or purple leaves do not have attractive flowering, but their unusually colored foliage is quite decorative. All of the listed varieties have a common feature: the amount of coloring pigment produced by plant cells directly depends on the lighting (the longer the daylight hours, the brighter the color of the leaves). Otherwise, the growing rules are different.

Plants with purple leaves have different requirements for placement in the interior and their care. Indoor plants decorate the interior, saturate the air in apartments with oxygen and simply bring aesthetic pleasure to the inhabitants of the apartment. Among the huge number of house plants, there are several that stand out for their unusual leaf color.

Instead of the traditionally familiar green color, you can observe a purple color on the entire leaf blade or part of it. Let's consider the most popular types of flowers, striking in their unusual colors.

It belongs to the Asteraceae family and has about 50 species of lilac and burgundy flowers with different names. The carved wavy leaves are covered with small purple hairs that are pleasant to the touch.

Does not require special care, the main conditions for successful cultivation are bright lighting during daylight hours.

If the plant lacks light, the hairs will turn green, which will affect its attractiveness.

With a lack of lighting, the leaves acquire a normal green color.

Basic conditions for proper care:

loose soil with neutral acidity, consisting of leaf, turf soil and river sand;
abundant watering as the top layer of soil dries;
keeping in summer at a temperature of 20-24 degrees;
in winter with a lack of natural light temperature drop to 13 degrees, when kept in warmer conditions, additional illumination with fluorescent or phytolamps is mandatory;
humidity does not matter;
feeding during the period of active growth every 2 weeks;
propagation by cuttings occurs easily and quickly.

Every 2 years it is advisable to rejuvenate it - cut the apical cuttings and root. Otherwise, the flower loses its attractiveness - it turns pale and stretches out ugly.

Hemigraphis is a plant with burgundy

Hemirafis belongs to the Acanthus family and has about 100 species. In indoor culture it is grown as an ampelous, herbaceous or ground cover crop. Ovate serrated leaves capable of changing color depending on the amount of light, falling on them.

With sufficient lighting, the color of the leaves becomes purple-metallic; with a lack of sunlight, the leaf blades acquire a reddish-silver tint.

Hemigraphis will delight you with its unusual foliage if the basic care rules are followed:

bright diffuse lighting(east or west windows are better);
optimal temperature 20-25 degrees;
high air humidity(not lower than 50%);
regular watering as the soil dries out by 1 cm, reducing the frequency of watering in winter;
regular fertilizing from April to September with fertilizers for decorative deciduous plants;
annual transplant in wide, shallow pots with a mandatory drainage layer of at least 2 cm;
soil mixture of turf, leaf soil, humus, vermiculite and crushed pine bark;
pinching to form a compact bush.

Hemigraphis is easily propagated in the spring by stem cuttings 7-10 cm long. The cuttings are kept for 2 weeks in a glass of boiled water, and after the roots appear, they are planted in a pot.

Irezine is a representative of the Amaranth family. This herbaceous plant can grow up to 60 cm in height at home. The round or elliptical leaves turn red-purple in good light.

Lack of light affects its attractiveness - its shoots turn pale and elongate.

It is not difficult to grow irezine, just follow the basic rules:

continuous illumination– any windows are suitable, except northern ones;
when placing on the south side during midday hours it is mandatory shading from scorching rays;
if there is a lack of natural light, it is advisable to supplement the lighting with lamps so that the total daylight hours are 14 hours;
air temperature in summer – 15-25 degrees, in winter – 15-20 degrees;
regular watering after the top layer of soil in the pot dries; in winter, watering is reduced, increasing the interval between them;
during active growth of fertilizing at least 2 times a month, in winter, fertilizing is allowed once a month;
when grown as a perennial plant, annual replanting is required;
For the soil mixture, leaf and turf soil, sand and humus are used in a ratio of 2:2:1:2.

To make the irezine bush more lush and spectacular, its apical shoots need to be pinched. This will stimulate the plant to form new side shoots.

Zebrina is one of the most unpretentious indoor plants, a relative of Tradescantia. Its leaf blades are striped with silver-green and purple stripes. With good lighting, the color of the leaves becomes more saturated; with insufficient light, the purple color fades and gives way to green.

An undemanding zebra will be content with little:

long-term diffused lighting with protection from direct sunlight;
fertilizing once every 2-3 weeks (from April to September);
moderate poly c (if there is excess moisture, the leaves dry out);
soil mixture of equal parts of leaf and turf soil with the addition of sand.

There is no point in replanting the zebrina - after a year the overgrown bush loses its attractiveness.

It is more advisable to rejuvenate annually: cut off the apical cuttings and root in water or directly in a pot with soil. Zebrina is often compared to a weed - it is so easy to care for.

Reo

Reo is a powerful plant with long narrow leaves, dark green on top with pale stripes, and deep purple below.

Since reo is a close relative of zebrina and tradescantia, caring for it is the same. In favorable conditions, the plant quickly grows into a bush of any shape.

In 1-2 years, reo can fill a wide pot or flowerpot with rhizome shoots. Propagated by cuttings, young shoots or seeds.

Kislitsa

Oxalis, or oxalis, has a unique property - in the dark or in bad weather, the plant folds its trifoliate leaves, which in this form resemble the folded wings of a butterfly. Therefore, oxalis is also called Madame Butterfly or butterfly flower.

When growing sorrel, you need to fulfill the basic care requirements:

air temperature 20-25 degrees in summer and 12-18 in winter;
diffused light, protection from direct sunlight;
abundant watering in summer, symbolic hydration in winter;
feeding every 2-3 weeks during the period of active growth with a half dose.

Oxalis needs rest in winter.

If the plant “froze” and stopped producing new leaves, it means that a dormant period has begun. At this time, the temperature should be lowered and watering reduced to a minimum. In the spring, with the appearance of new leaves, the plant is returned to its previous growing conditions.

Indoor plants with purple leaves are unpretentious and easy to care for. They have small, unattractive flowers, and all their beauty lies in unusual leaves with spectacular colors.

Those who love this color and gardening can try to enhance their flowerbed or garden plot by planting purple flowers.

What does the purple color of flowers mean?

Purple flowers: names

There are many purple flowers in nature, and if you want them not to disappear from your flowerbed over a long period, then you can make a continuous flowering bed out of them.

Crocus. The bulbous plant, quite common, begins to bloom in early spring. Many varieties of this crop have purple flowers. If you plant several at once on one plot, you will get a very unusual and beautiful combination. By the way, all varieties of crocus develop well and grow both in the shade and in sunny areas. They will take root in any soil without stagnant moisture and do not require special care. They are not afraid of frost and snow, but their flowers open only in sunny weather, and vice versa in cloudy weather: they close their petals tightly. They can grow in one place for up to 5 years, after which it is recommended to transplant them to a new place of growth. They will look great among lawns and stones. They are also used for winter forcing;

Hyacinths - they are called the kings of spring! Translated from Greek, their name translates as “flower of rains,” which is probably due to the rainy period in the place of its origin. These plants themselves are beautiful, strong, at the same time delicate and very beautiful, they also have a very pleasant smell and a variety of purple shades;
Tulips. There may not be many varieties of this plant with purple flowers, but they look very impressive. The flowers themselves are large, often with a white edge;
