Buying houseplants? Houseplants create a warm and inviting atmosphere in your home. There are various types of houseplants to give your home a warm and natural feel. Depending on your interior, you can choose which type of houseplant best suits your style. For example, consider a mix of large, green houseplants for a rugged, industrial interior.

Green houseplants

Green houseplants They thrive in any interior. They bring a sense of tranquility and a natural feel to your home. They're generally easy to care for, although tropical houseplants often require more attention. Popular green houseplants include hanging plants, sanseverias, golden orchard palms, dracaenas, and aloe vera. In addition, some green houseplants are also air-purifying!

Flowering houseplants

Flowering houseplants Add a splash of color to your interior and create a warm feeling. These are houseplants with flowers that bloom for extended periods. They come in an endless variety of colors, from white-flowered plants to plants with various colors. The most popular flowering houseplant is the orchid!

Succulents and cacti

Succulents and cacti are the easiest houseplants to care for. They store water in their leaves, roots, and stems to survive in drier conditions. This allows them to go for very long periods without water. These are the ideal houseplants that anyone can care for! They also create a wonderful ambiance in your home.

Large houseplants and indoor plants

Consider, for example, green houseplants with large, robust leaves, such as a banana plant or a monstera Swiss cheese plant. A reasonably large houseplant can be found at a height of 1 meter or 120 cm. If you have a very large space, choose a large indoor plant from 150 cm, such as our hydroponic plantsPlacing your plant on a raised surface like a plant table will make it even more impressive in your home!

How to care for houseplants

Provide a good spot in your home. Houseplants with colored leaves should be placed in a bit more sun, and those with green leaves should be placed in a bit more shade. During the growing season, houseplants need extra nutrients. Potting soil often contains nutrients for several months, after which you can add houseplant food during the flowering period.

When should you water houseplants?

Generally, watering once a week is sufficient. However, this does vary depending on the type of houseplant. For example, check if the soil is getting dry and add water if necessary. Tropical houseplants prefer a consistently moist soil. You can often water them two to three times a week, but not too much at a time. In spring and summer, you often water slightly more than in winter.

Houseplants for the sun

In general, plants with colored leaves need more sun than houseplants with green leaves. Never place your houseplants in direct sunlight, such as against a window, as the heat from the glass can damage them. Houseplants that do well in full sun include succulents and cacti. If you have houseplants with flowers, such as orchids, move them as little as possible.

Houseplants for the shade

Every houseplant needs light to survive, but some need more than others. Do you have a dark corner or office where you want to put houseplants? Then choose an indoor plant that thrives in low light, such as a sanseveria, dracaena, or rhapis bamboo palm.

Which houseplants are poisonous to dogs and cats?

Do you have pets like dogs and cats? Then pay close attention to which indoor plants you keep indoors. It's common knowledge that Christmas trees and poinsettias are poisonous to cats. The most toxic to cats are aloe vera plants, sanseveria, lilies, dieffenbachia, and chrysanthemums. Eating these plants can cause stomach and intestinal problems or even kidney failure in cats.
