Living room plants: which one to choose?
Have you always wanted a little plant but think they won’t survive indoors? Forget about that and here are some perfect for the living room.
Rhipsalis
Delicate, this plant can be used as a pendant or on a piece of furniture. It has slender branches and clusters that support the sides of the pot as Rhipsalis grows in a cascade format. It doesn’t require direct lighting or daily watering, so it’s great for the interior. A curiosity is that during the summer it produces fruits, which form small white or pink balls at the ends, bringing even more beauty to the environment.
fern
With a tropical face, the fern is another sure option for the living room. It is bulky and can be perfect to fill that dull space in your room. The semi-shade is ideal for the plant, which can burn when receiving intense light and prefers a more humid and dark environment. There are several species of Fern, even allowing you to create an arrangement of different types of the plant on a green wall or even suspended from the ceiling.
Saint George’s Sword
Symbol of protection and purification, this plant is one of the most used indoors. It can be seen in small sizes on counters or with long foliage in pots on the floor. The Espada de São Jorge is low maintenance, needs medium lighting and only needs to be watered when its soil is getting dry. It is also possible to use it together with other plants in a composition, but it alone is beautiful on its own.
maranta
Lesser known than the others, this green leafy plant with pink or white stripes is a great choice for decorating your living room. It has a medium size and can be used in vases on the floor or on some furniture. The details of the leaves make all the difference and bring an extra charm to the environment, leaving your home with a zen and cool air. They also don’t need direct light, just an airy space and daily watering. It’s impossible not to fall in love with her!
Adam’s Rib
This is one of those plants that are trending right now. The Adam’s Rib is super modern and perfect for more minimalist or industrial rooms. The shape of its foliage is impressive, approaching the appearance of ribs, hence its name. It can be found already well developed, ideal for larger rooms, with availability of space, or even “puppies”, fitting in a medium-sized vase. Like the others, it can be used in the living room as it does not require constant lighting, while water can be applied two to four times a week, depending on the climate of your city.
boa constrictor
If you really like hanging plants, forming that beautiful arrangement that goes down the wall or furniture, the Jiboia is the right option for you. Its stained, heart-shaped leaves are a unique charm, perfecting any room. And its maintenance is super simple, as it does well in both sunny and shady places. Its color varies from light and dark greens to more yellowish tones, it all depends on the incidence of light and the age of the plant.
anthurium
But if your tastes are more classic and you are a fan of flowers, Anthurium is a great option for your living room. It has the best of both worlds: the beauty of the flowers and the ease of care for the foliage. Although red is the most common, the variety of shades of this plant is impressive, which makes it perfect for decorating that coffee table, a spacious shelf or on a sideboard. Its watering can reach up to four times a week and it cannot be left under direct sunlight.
Areca palm tree
For those who want a bigger plant, which can really transform their living room into a mini jungle or give it that summery look, Palmeira Areca is for you. Its leaves are long and thin and what sets it apart from other plants is its height, which can reach almost to the ceiling. Its care is basic, just keep it fertilized and watered, since the lighting here is not specific, as it can be under constant lighting or shade.
How about putting them all together and making an indoor garden? Or choose just one to put it in a very simple and beautiful vase? Regardless of your choice, any of these plants will adapt well to your home.
