Types of Plants to Have Inside Your Home
Indoor plants help purify your indoor air.
Adding houseplants to your home will not only bring a splash of color, but it will also purify the air. Some plants can even add an air of jungle in a small room! Depending on where you'd like to place them, large plants can complete the look of any room. However, if you're working with a limited space, a smaller indoor plant might suffice.
Various types of houseplants require different light conditions. Chinese evergreen, for example, can grow in low-light areas. They have an easy maintenance requirement. Their leaves are not large but have countless tiny leaves. Ensure that you water the plant only when the soil is dry. In order to avoid irritation, it's best to keep this plant away from children and pets. You'll enjoy its tropical look for many years to come. Below is a picture of a Chinese evergreen plant.
Rubber trees are classic houseplants. This plant gets its name from its milky sap. Although they can grow into a tall tree, they can also branch out into multi-stemmed shrubs. The dark green leaves of this plant are shiny and attractive and come in various color variations. The milky sap of the rubber tree can cause skin irritation in some people.
Indoor plants require the proper temperature and light to thrive. Some of them thrive in indirect sunlight from a window. While others need more attention and care, indoor plants are more susceptible to pests and diseases. If you overwater them, you may cause them to rot, so it's important to keep a close eye on them. For best results, try to avoid overwatering. If you do this, you may also have a healthy indoor plant.
A highly recommended product when you have indoor plants is a bug catcher.
If you're worried about the amount of water that houseplants require, choose a low-maintenance plant like a weeping fig. This low-maintenance tree-like plant prefers bright indirect light and a constant temperature. Choose several sizes of planters for your plant. If your budget is limited, consider a few small plants. These will make for great houseplants.
Succulents. Succulents are easy to grow and are low maintenance. Make sure you keep them in a sunny spot to maximize their benefits. Some succulents, such as aloe vera, are edible and can be used as a natural skincare product.
There are many types of plants you can grow inside your home. Medicinal plants are also good choices. Another type of plant you can consider is a peace lily, which is shown below.
They require more attention than their smaller cousins, but they can make a room pop with color and life.
Below is a picture of what a weeping fig plant looks like.
Both the peace lily and the weeping fig have bright, flowering leaves, and are suitable for low-light conditions.
Lastly, if you have the space and are willing to take care of a few plants, make sure you educate yourself with their specific needs, and if any re-planting needs to be done after some time.
Ferns are other types of plants that people love, but they can be difficult to grow indoors. If you give them the right light, they'll grow happily inside your home.
