Where Your Plants Can Live

When choosing houseplants for different parts of your house, keep in mind your home’s aesthetic and the required care for your plants. Plants have varying needs when it comes to sun exposure, humidity, and temperature. Not every plant can survive a room without windows. Likewise, some plants prefer indirect sunlight.

Kitchen – The kitchen is a great spot to plant ferns, air plants, and other species that like moisture. Herbs are an ideal option for the kitchen; a combo of sage and cilantro can work well in a sunny cook space.


Bedroom – Your bedroom is your resting place and is supposed to create a peaceful atmosphere that helps you to relax. Add a spider or snake plant to reduce anxiety and boost your mood.


Living room – Your living room is perfect for big, bold plants that can make a statement and add to the overall atmosphere. It’s an excellent place to display succulents, begonias, or rubber trees.


Bathroom – The bathroom is the most humid place in the house, and the plants you get should be similar to those in a tropical environment – with high humidity, warm temperatures, and low light. Ferns and air plants do well in this environment.


Home office – A home office is where you have a lot of electronics and low-to-medium light. Cacti are one of the most popular home office choices, but others include the Jade plant and begonia.


Patio/backyard – For your patio, choose plants that require the most direct sunlight and can also create a welcoming environment for your guests. It’s a perfect spot for bigger, light-intensive plants like caladium, hydrangea, ornamental plants, and plants with big blossoms like fuchsia.

    This is so interesting to me. If I got a plant, I would just put it where I had room or where I thought it would look cute. I had no idea that what room you put a plant in would matter.

Houseplants That Can Live Together

Image
Companion plants are those that have similar light, nutrition, and water requirements. For example, it would not be good to plant a cactus and a fern together. The cactus likes a long, dry, cool winter dormancy while the fern wants low light and consistently moist soil. Not a marriage made in heaven. Most of the common houseplants, such as philodendrons, scheffleras, peace lilies, tolerate or even like average light, humidity and water, so could all be combined in a pot. Throw in a dracaena for height and some coleus for color, and you’ve got an eye-catching arrangement. If you can’t seem to find plants with the exact same requirements, you can grow your grouping in individual pots that are nestled in a basket. As time goes on and the plants grow, they may need to be repotted and moved to another place, but in the meantime, you have an interesting combination with the benefit of being able to individually water and fertilize. Just remember that the plants need to share the same light r...
