4 Great indoor plants for beginners
Category Gardening
House and office plants provide an array of benefits from cleaning the air you breathe to livening up some dull decor. But which plant would be best for you? Not everyone has a green thumb for indoor plants and some may require a little more time and effort than others. Here is a list of wonderful plants for beginners or for those who don’t have the time for a high maintenance plant.
Cacti & Succulents
Cacti and succulents are an obvious choice for beginners as they require very little attention. A bright sunny spot and a little water every now and again will keep these budding beauties happy for years to come. Cacti and succulents also come in a huge variety of shapes, colours, and sizes making them adaptable for large containers as a statement piece or small pots for desk decor.
Lucky Bamboo
Lucky Bamboo is not really a bamboo, but it’s a pretty choice for your indoor plant. They grow well in water and will thrive in a bright spot. Lucky bamboo is an indoor favourite and you can find them readily available almost anywhere at an affordable price.
Philodendron
Heartleaf philodendron is an adorable companion to have on your table or desk with a mystical feel about it. Resembling something you would find in a magical forest, the truly magical aspect of this plant is the minimal maintenance it will need from you. It will prefer for its soil to completely dry out in between waterings and just needs a light spot to flourish.
English Ivy
English ivy is a wonderful beginner plant for offices and homes as this hardy little fellow will only need a little water and bright, but indirect sunlight to bring in its beautiful deep green and stark white leaves. Smaller than other ivy species, the English Ivy will suit well in a small container while being a big delight.
There are a few things that will help liven your office desk or home better than beautiful, green, luscious indoor plants. With very little care but some wonderful bright light, these four are certain to make your space come to life.
