Are Indoor Plants Hard to Look After?

In general, many indoor plants are very hardy and ideal for beginners. Every plant has its own needs and preferences in order to survive and grow. Most plants love light. For indoor plants, all you need is a bright spot to place them, out of direct sunlight. That isn't a hard and fast rule, though, as some indoor plants can survive in shadier spots too. These are usually plants with lush green foliage and, more rarely, some that also flower. Plants kept indoors adapt to the temperature and humidity and adjust their metabolism accordingly.

Anthurium

The anthurium is a very special and striking indoor plant with glossy foliage and bright heart-shaped flowers. All it needs is a warm, well-lit spot in your home!

Calathea / Calathea makoyana

Calathea makoyana (peacock plant) is one of the most popular indoor plants and can grow in a shady or partly shaded spot in your home. It is long-lived, easy to look after and impresses everyone with its large, glossy green-and-red leaves!

Dracaena

If you are looking for a beautiful indoor plant that needs little care and watering, the dracaena is the plant for you. Dracaena can also survive indoors with very little light, which is why it is often used in offices and living rooms. There are many kinds with different foliage and colours, so you can choose the one that will show off your space!

Dracaena fragrans has broad two-tone leaves in light and dark green.
Dracaena marginata has lance-shaped two-tone leaves in green and red.
Dracaena marginata bicolor has lance-shaped two-tone leaves in a lighter green than the standard marginata.
Dracaena warneckii has broad two-tone leaves in green and cream/yellow.

Indoor Bonsai

Indoor bonsai have become very popular in recent years, and rightly so! They make wonderful gifts for friends or for yourself! The art of bonsai lets us own miniature trees that can decorate the living room, a bedroom or even an office, catching the eye and improving the feng shui! There are many kinds of bonsai tree with different needs, so you can choose the right one for you!

Coffee Plant

The coffee plant is a beautiful plant with glossy green leaves and white flowers that can also be grown indoors! As its name says, as well as being beautiful, the coffee plant can give us our favourite drink: coffee! It is very easy to grow your own coffee and harvest fresh beans for your cup. Experts say that fresh coffee is the tastiest coffee you will ever drink, as its aromas are even more intense than those of roasted coffee that is months or years old.

Lithops

Lithops are succulents that look like little pebbles. It's amazing that they are living plants, as most people who see them think they are real stones! They come in wonderful colours, and beautiful flowers emerge from the slit in each "pebble"! They are ideal for anyone who wants a small, discreet but colourful and unusual plant in their home!

String of hearts

If you are looking for something different or don't have room for a pot indoors, the string of hearts is ideal for you. It is a trailing plant with heart-shaped green leaves marbled with silver! Its flowers are pink or purple and go perfectly with the leaves. It is undemanding, and even in winter needs very little watering, making it ideal for new and beginner growers. Hang it in your living room for a lovely touch of stylish decor and love. It comes in an eco-friendly kokedama ball, ready to hang wherever you like!

Air Plants

These are a category of unusual plants with special characteristics. Air plants don't need soil to grow! Instead, they "feed" through their leaves on moisture from the air and absorb everything they need to grow. They are ideal for hanging containers and make beautiful arrangements. They are the latest trend among interior designers and can decorate any corner of your home!

Christmas Cactus 

The Christmas cactus, or Schlumbergera (in Greek "ypomoni", meaning patience), is another succulent that can decorate our home. It is called the Christmas cactus because in many parts of the world, such as Australia, Africa and Latin America, it is decorated at that time of year instead of a traditional fir tree, and it also flowers in the autumn and winter months, so we can enjoy its richly coloured blooms. Although it is a succulent, it has no leaves or spines, yet it has the hardiness and toughness of a succulent, which makes it even more popular!

Schefflera

The well-known schefflera (umbrella plant) is one of the most widespread tropical indoor plants. It has glossy green leaves arranged like the spokes of an umbrella! Choose a bright spot in your home, out of direct sunlight, which can turn its leaves yellow. It is extremely hardy, tolerates drought, low and high temperatures and has no special planting needs! It grows fast, can brighten up a small or large space and, above all, is ideal for beginners!

Peony

Its large, vividly coloured flowers and soft, delicate scent make the peony a favourite for decorating weddings and other receptions. It comes from China, where according to tradition it was grown for its roots, which were used in traditional medicine. It is an excellent choice for interior decoration, as it can live for many years without much care!

Which Are the Large Indoor Plants?

Large indoor plants have a place in every home, whether to fill empty corners or tall walls, or simply to catch the eye in a room. There are different types of large indoor plants to choose from depending on your decorating style. For example, if you want to give your small city apartment a tropical feel, go for palms or plants such as strelitzia, also known as bird of paradise. If you live in a more modern home and love a minimalist look, you'll want tall cacti such as euphorbias.
