Not just because they look good but also because they are healthy. Why? What do they do? It not only cleans the air but also removes harmful toxins. NASA’s extensive research has shown that houseplants can remove up to 87% of air toxins in 24 hours. Indoor plants can improve productivity and concentration (up to 15%), according to studies. Indoor plants can reduce stress and improve mood, making them ideal for your home or office.

Place plants on your desk at work. They will increase your positivity and help to regulate humidity. Greenery and Nature help us feel calmer and more relaxed. Indoor plants are both practical and beautiful, and they will improve your quality of life.

Create Your Plant Sanctuary

A small indoor garden is the perfect refuge for those who live in a busy world. It can also bring great joy to many. You will notice that introducing plants to your home can improve your health and your overall happiness. Plants can improve your mood, create a relaxing environment and help you overcome loneliness and depression. Caring for plants gives us purpose and makes it rewarding.

Select the right plants to get a good night’s rest. When photosynthesis ceases at night, plants will release carbon dioxide. Plants such as bromeliads, orchids, and snake plants emit oxygen.

Don’t place plants where they will be exposed to direct midday sunlight. You should know the apparent warning signs, like leaf burn, spotting, or sudden leaf fall. Don’t panic; most plants are easily saved. It is often a matter of not overwatering the plants or letting them dry out a little if they feel too wet. If your plant is near a draft, it can cause the leaves to curl up and fall off. You can revive your plants by using organic fertilizers.

Plants can be used to add a touch of style to your home. You can decorate your windowsills by using succulents. Or, you can hang colorful macrame from the curtain rails. Display your plants in ceramic or copper pots. Plants don’t need to be expensive. Just take a cutting of a plant that you bought from a local shop or a friend, and start your plant.

Certain plants love the heat. Knowing which plants work best in what rooms is essential when styling plants. The bathroom is ideal for air plants or kokedamas (Japanese hanging moss balls) because the moisture that is produced by your shower encourages these plants to grow. Fill your sunroom with succulents, ferns, and cacti. They will thrive in the heat.

The Beginner’s Guide To Decorating With Plants

Here are some plants for beginners. They will all provide you with a lot of greenery and are reasonably priced.

Monstera delicata (Swiss Cheese Plant): You can buy a Monstera of 12 inches for a reasonable price. It grows fast; you will have beautiful leaves and a good height in less than three months.

Epipremnum Aureum (Golden Pothos or Devil’s Ivy): These plants are easy to grow and require little maintenance. Trailing varieties are excellent for hanging planters, such as macrame hangers. They produce new leaves frequently. They are toxic for cats and dogs.

Hedera: Ivy has almost indestructible leaves that will appear limp and floppy when they need watering.

Chlorophytum Comosum (spider plants): These low-maintenance plants only require watering at the base once a week and misting occasionally. You will find that they produce babies at the ends of their leaves. They are easy to propagate.

Don’t you have a green thumb? Try These Plants

Choose a succulent or cactus to start with. Although most cacti also are succulents, many other succulents are not cacti. Cacti have areoles, which produce hairs or spikes. Different succulents don’t.

Cacti can surprise you. Cacti will tolerate lousy behavior for many years before they surprise you by blooming when they start growing again. The myth that cacti flower only once every blue moon is false. If properly cared for, nearly half of the healthy cacti produce flowers in their third year. Cacti will blossom when they have new growth. This is encouraged by caring for them during the summer and neglecting them over the winter. A pot-bound plant can also stimulate flowering (the roots fill the entire pot). This is a fantastic group of plants for people new to houseplants since they require only a light misting now and then.

Succulents make excellent first plants. Low maintenance, easy propagation, and suitability for most homes make succulents a tremendous first plant. The best place for them is on the windowsill, where they will get the most sun. It is easy to identify a succulent by its thick, fleshy stems or leaves. In their natural habitat, many types have tightly packed leaves and a rosette form. This helps to conserve water. Start with a collection of Echeveria or Sempervivum, as these plants are attractive and have many varieties.

Do not overwater. Many people kill houseplants because they pour water in the middle of the plant. The water has nowhere to go, so it sits inside the plant. The excess moisture in the pot can cause root rot and eventually kills the plant. Water the plant from the bottom with a saucer if your bank has drainage holes. Or mist your plant regularly using an atomizer to help increase humidity.
