So, you’ve finally decided to hop on the trend of plant parenting. But you realized that your place is not blessed with wide spaces of rich garden soil. Should you give up on your dreams of becoming a plant mom? Or dad?
Of course not, mate! You can certainly grow plant babies even if you live in a very tiny apartment. Space is certainly not a big issue when it comes to pant parenting. We can attest to that! We have nursed a lot of indoor plants Melbourne that we still take care of to this day.
If you’re curious to try your green thumbs on them, too, below are names of the plants that we’re talking about:
1. ZZ Plant
The ZZ plant is one of the best indoor plants for the forgetful owner. Its gorgeous wand-like stems and oval-shaped shiny leaves will continue to grow and glimmer even if you forget to water them. They also thrive both in indirect yet bright-lit spots and shady areas. So even if your space isn’t well-lit, the ZZ Plant will still live.
2. Rubber Plants
If you need an indoor plant that doesn’t take up much space, a rubber plant is an easy choice. Aside from being a gorgeous indoor plant, they are great natural air cleaners, too. They provide not only a relaxing ambience in your room but also fresh and clean air for you to enjoy.
For them to grow and live a long life, rubber plants require bright indirect light and some water only when the soil is dry.
3. Pilea
Looking for a cute potted green that won’t get in the way of your desk work? Pilea is certainly what you’re talking about. Its small size and round green leaves are to die for. It can make any space look fresh, especially the rooms that have minimalist themes.
It also requires minimal care. For this plant, the drench and dry approach will work perfectly. It means that you’ll water them thoroughly, then let the soil dry out before watering them again. You can also pamper it with weekly mistings to maintain the shine and beauty of its leaves.
4. Anthurium
Give some love to your small room with this heart-shaped flower! Its teeny tiny body will fit perfectly in any corner of your room.
It’s not a low-maintenance indoor plant but it’s not high-maintenance either. You just have to water them twice and pamper them with occasional fertilizing. It’s not a lot of work, but we bet you’ll love the results of pampering the Anthurium!
5. Snake Plants
Snake plants are a staple indoor plant. Almost every plant parent has a pot of these pointy greens because they are easy to maintain. All they need is indirect light with an occasional light watering that should be done only when the soil has fully dried.
Snake plants can be a good perfect accent piece in corners of the room because of the green and yellow color combination which can certainly freshen up and liven up any space.
6. Yucca Cane Plants
Yucca cane plant is one the best plants to put on top of any desk or shelf. Its lush green leaves and textured stem can give great character to any room.
The best thing about it is that it only needs indirect sunlight but will also thrive in low-light areas. It also doesn’t require too much watering. Just check the top half part of the soil once in a while. If it’s dry, then you probably need to give it some water.
