Best Indoor Plants For Your New Home
Types Of Indoor Plants For Your New Home
Bulbous Plants
Some of the most beautiful plants โ such as lilies โ grow from bulbs. Generally the plants return to bulbs and hibernate for part of the year, then return for the following season. Growing indoors can greatly shorten this time of hibernation. Types of bulbous plants include:
- Amaryllis
- Beach Spider Lily
- Belladonna Lily
- Caladium
- Calla Lily
- False Shamrock
Climbing Plants
One of the most versatile types of houseplant is the climbing plant. You can buy or construct all sorts of apparatuses for it to climb, or even train it to take on a shape. Just make sure your plant has some type of structure to climb, or it will flow flatly over the ground. Some options for climbing plants are:
- Arrowhead
- Creeping Fig
- Golden Pothos
- Heartleaf
Ferns
Ferns are always a popular choice for indoor plants, especially because they thrive in the shade. However, maintenance can be tricky. For best results, ensure the soil remains moist rather than wet. Fertilize every couple of months, and trim away any dead fronds. Here are a few varieties:
- Birds Nest
- Boston Fern
- Cretan Break
- Maidenhair Fern
- Rabbitโs Foot
Flowering Plants
Though all houseplants are lovely in their own way, thereโs nothing like flowers for classic beauty. All of the varieties below are good options for flowering indoor plants:
- African Violet
- Begonia
- Bromeliad
- Hibiscus
- Orchid
- Poinsettia
Hanging Baskets
Create interesting focal points in your home by hanging plants in a basket from the ceiling. To draw the eye up for extra drama, choose an oversized plant. Just make sure your ceiling can hold the weight. In addition, plan to remove the plant for watering so it doesnโt drip. The following plants do well in baskets:
- Spider Plant
- Ratโs Tail
- Wandering Jew
Indoor Palms
To add some tropical flair to your home, look no further than your local nursery. Palms are happy indoors in low light, though some species enjoy being outside in the summer. Simply mist with water often and reduce watering in the winter. Here are some varieties of indoor palms:
- Areca Palm
- European Fan
- Parlor Palm
- Pygmy Date
- Sentry Palm
Indoor Trees
A strategically placed indoor tree can be a true showstopper. Create a majestic look in your entry or office with one of the species below. Or try bonsai, the Japanese art of growing trees in a container. Here are some trees you might try:
- Dragon Tree
- Fiddle Leaf Fig
- Rubber Plant
- Umbrella Tree
- Weeping Fig
Succulents
Trendy succulents are everywhere in home decor these days โ and with good reason. These hardy desert plants can survive with very little water, making them extremely easy houseplants. The following succulents are common indoors:
- Aloe Vera
- Christmas Cheer
- Coral Cactus
- Jade Plant
- Jelly Beans
- Mother-In-Lawโs Tongue
By law, most professional movers cannot transport plants. So if youโre considering indoor plants, it may save time to purchase them after you move.
