Some well-placed greenery can not only brighten a space but also purify the air and they’re also helpful in creating a more relaxing, restful ambiance in any room.
We know that spending time in nature is linked to reduced stress levels and tension relief, and with a boom in medium and high-rise development living in parts of New Zealand, many people are now opting for low-maintenance lifestyles.
Here are five examples of indoor plants which are manageable and can bring the feeling of spring indoors to your home.
- Rubber Plant – Enjoys bright, indoor light.
- Philodendron – Ensure leaves are kept dust free and re-pot when the plant outgrows its container.
- Moth Orchid – A pretty plant with butterfly-shaped flowers. They like warm areas so don’t place them in rooms exposed to draughts.
- Aloe Plant – A healing plant that is easy to care for: they need lots of sun, warmth and a minimal amount of watering.
- Peace Lily – Grow best in warm conditions. The broad leaves of peace lilies tend to accumulate dust. Wipe the leaves with a damp cloth regularly to prevent this and keep them looking their best.
