Houseplant Suggestions
These are some plants you may want to consider for your apartment:
This beautiful plant not only thrives in conditions abundant in humidity and light, but it’s also useful if you drink jasmine tea. Better Homes and Gardens points out that their starry, pure white flowers also produce a soft fragrance to grace your apartment. Plant this indoors near a window or on the patio in a spot where it can be protected from drafts. Water and feed it regularly.
Whether you want to raise this Colorado blue spruce into a mini winter holiday tree or you simply like the look of it, add this to your balcony to let it get full sunlight, and put a sponge over the drainage hole to keep in the moisture.
This iconic plant is great to keep indoors. It’s easy to care for, and it does well in a range of environments — the color of the leaves do dim if left in low light — and even in nutrient-rich or poor soils. Plant it in a hanging basket or use as a climbing plant on your balcony. Just trim the stems back a little once they get too long. They can grow up to eight feet or longer!
Caring For Plants
Some plants can be easier to take care of than others. It’s important to learn about the plants you have and determine what they need to stay alive and healthy. Determine how much water and sunlight they need and what type of soil to use when potting them. Having that information can save your plants. You can also find some general indicators about what your plant needs based on its appearance.
