5 Common House Plants You Should Have in Your Home

Plants are nature’s best gifts. Their lushness and colour can configure free spirit into any home and all they need is no more than occasional watering and light. Indoor plants have their unique way of breathing life into any room by adding a calming vibe to the space. They go beyond being a go-to pick for décor lovers by purifying the indoor air. Whether you pick a shady corner in your living room or place it on a windowsill, here are some common house plants that can instantly escalate the décor of your home to a whole new level. 


#1 Monstera

Also famous as the Swiss Cheese Plant, Monstera Deliciosa is quite popular over the gram as well as on Pinterest for its beautifully unique leaves. Native to Central America and Mexico, this tropical plant has leaves with holes that induce a tropical exotic vibe. In addition, Monstera plants are easy to maintain and they need indirect light and moderate watering. Just place the plant in bright indirect sunlight and it will look fabulous in your space.

 

#2 Philodendron

Philodendron has heart-shaped glossy foliage draping around the vines. It adapts beautifully to low-light spots and the best part is it doesn’t mind if you forget to water the plant once or twice. If you have a bookshelf or if you want to place the plant at some high spot, it will look scintillating with its trailing stems draping down from the planter or a hanging basket. 

 

#3 Alocasia

Popular for its unusual leaves, Alocasia is famous with many names ranging from Elephant Ear and Kris Plant to African Mask Plant. The stunning and impressive leaves are shield-shaped or arrow-headed with large protruding veins running around their surface to contrast the rest of the dark green leaf. The plant renders an elegant extraterrestrial style on your space with its striking two-toned leaves and it can thrive well in both low and medium light. 

 

#4 Begonia

With beautiful flowers and foliage, begonia falls into the category of the best houseplants because of their easy-care nature. They have beautiful foliage and flowers and they are excellent for all types of climates. The visually interesting plants can be a bit picky about light and water. However, they are not overly delicate.  

 

#5 Snake Plant

If you are still on the beginner’s level in gardening and you want a succulent plant that is almost indestructible, snake plants can be a great purchase. They tolerate low light and can thrive under little water. The plant looks good with as little as no maintenance and you can find different varieties with distinct leaf shapes as well as patterns. If you love the aesthetic part of ornamental plants, then snake plants offer unbeatable texture with their sword-shaped leaves and strong vertical lines. 

 

Conclusion

You can easily get any of these plants to be your intermediate-level plant project and they will look stunning in your home. Don’t believe us? Get a plant and see for yourself!
