5 Low maintenance houseplants

5 houseplants that are low maintenance



Houseplants not only add beauty and greenery to your home, but they also have incredible environmental, health, and mental benefits. Their natural processes help to increase the amount of moisture, reduce the amount of dust in the air, and increase the amount of oxygen in the air. At the same time, they reduce carbon dioxide and help filter out certain pollutants, such as benzene and nitrogen dioxide (found in cigarette smoke). Houseplants are known to help improve sleep, concentration, and memory.


Houseplants do not need to be frightened. If you want to bring the five plants described here into your indoor space, they are easy to grow and good for beginners.


1. Lucky bamboo


(Dracaena sanderiana) Technically, lucky bamboo is not a bamboo plant, although it is very similar. Lucky bamboo grows easily in water and the cane of the plant is similar to bamboo cane, although it has nothing to do with Japanese culture. Submerge the roots in water at all times, and if possible, occasionally rinse with rainwater or bottled mineral water. Regular tap water contains both fluoride and chlorine, which can cause damage and stunted growth over time.


2. Snake plant



(Sansevieria trifasciata) Also known as mother-in-law's tongue, the snake plant is very forgiving. They can be neglected for weeks but will continue to look beautiful due to their dense foliage and architectural shape. The snake plant can survive in low light, is drought-tolerant, and is easily susceptible to some insect pests.


3. Spider plant


(Chlorophytum comosum) Like the others on this list, the spider plant is incredibly easy to maintain. These plants prefer cool temperatures and their roots are very tight in the container. Transplant only when their fleshy roots are visible above the soil surface. The plant got its name from spider-like plants or spideroids, which evolve from flowers and grow into new plants. In mature plants, the flowers emerge in spring when the day length increases.


4. Peace Lily


(Spathiphyllum wallisii) is a favorite of houseplant enthusiasts, the quiet lily is known for its remarkable ability to filter and purify the air. National Aeronautical and Space Administration, which reduces indoor air pollution by up to 60 percent and is one of the agency's top 10 plants recommended for improving air quality. Peace Lily prefers medium, indirect light, and blooms when water is needed. However, they do not like cold temperatures and perform best when the ambient air temperature is above 55 degrees. Occasionally a white flower will be a beautiful addition to any home.


5. Philodendron



(Philodendron sp.) Philodendrons are the most tolerant, popular, and durable of all houseplant species. They prefer medium-light intensity but will do just fine in low-level conditions. Remove them from direct sunlight and let the soil dry between irrigations, especially during the winter when plant growth is declining. Some varieties grow very fast - climbing varieties are known for this. Pinch the new growth needed to control the size of the plant.

A successful small garden requires a big idea

You can let a large garden develop. And by 'large' I mean a garden more than 80 feet (25 m) long. All of the most successful small gardens I've seen lately have a strong idea behind them. In a small space, you can see everything at once, so it's important that everything looks good together. This principle applies regardless of shape, although many small gardens are wider than they are long. See here for general tips on the Shallow Wide Garden . Here are three successful small space garden ideas to inspire you. A plant-lover's garden After visiting Philip Ostenbring's garden (open once a year for NGS), I realized that a small outdoor space for unusual plants is a wonderful display area. There is no need to plant in a small space, in threes or in drifts, as the plants are very close to you. Each model looks great in a courtyard, terrace or patio garden. Whereas if you dot a variety of single plants around a large garden, everything can look out of p

Great Designs for Container Groupings

Once your single containers are ready to merge It's hard to fail with a group of containers. Any size group, from a simple couple to large multiples, can enhance any outdoor space. Open patios and decks become softer and more intimate when you place pots around them. A straight and simple outdoor path lined with containers can become a wave of sorts—a formal one with some plants or an informal path with others. You never know what you'll come up with by placing one pot next to another or a particular plant with others. Once you start experimenting, you'll notice many places where a container is grouped. 1. Combine bright colors This collection of colorful pots introduces the viewer to the vivid color scheme in the beds behind it, mainly blue flowers. However, to maintain exclusivity, pots get exclusive rights to colors like magenta, pink and chartreuse. 2. Formal lateralization A combination of papyrus and vases always looks elegant, but when placed side by sid
