Do you want to breed indoor flowers, have collected shoots and now you are thinking what to do with them? The most logical thing is to put them in water and wait for the shoots to take root. Alas, this method does not always work. With some plants, there is no problem, they really take root in the water and then take root perfectly in a pot. But others for some reason do not want to do this, the stem begins to rot, and in general your new guest begins to demonstrate in every possible way his dissatisfaction with life and your actions. In order to properly plant flowers and take good care of them, you must first of all determine what kind of plant it is. Then you can find out how it relates to light and shadow, how much water it needs and which soil is preferable.

Step 1
If you broke off a process with your own hand imperceptibly from the owners and for this reason are embarrassed to ask what kind of plant it is, try to describe this plant. The main signs that must be indicated are the presence or absence of leaves, their size and shape, height, thickness and configuration of the stem, the shape of the flower, and if you have seen the root of the plant, then the shape of the root. Write down the signs of the plant. This is best done in the form of a plaque.
Step 2
Find a suitable qualifier. As a rule, it is found in books on indoor floriculture. If such a book is not at hand, then use the online guide. But first of all, you need to learn how to use it. All determinants are built according to the same principle: a certain characteristic of a plant is given and its presence or absence in a plant is indicated. You have already described the signs. The first feature is set by the determinant itself. Find it in your plate and see in which column of the determinant you need to look for the following signs or which link to go next. For example, if the first sign in the qualifier is the presence or absence of leaves, and your plant has large or beautiful leaves, then the following signs should be looked at in the column where it is said about plants with leaves.
Step 3
In the next step, each graph is again divided into two, and the online qualifier again offers two links. One of these links is the final one. A trait is described - for example, the same leaves with all their characteristics, and the definition of a particular plant is given. If your plant does not meet this definition, then you look in the column where it says something like “the type of foliage is different” and consider the next sign. Thus, one day you will find the plant you need.
