The Best Indoor Plants

When you move into a new home, creating a cozy and welcoming atmosphere is key. One way to breathe life into your space is by incorporating indoor plants. Not only do they add a touch of nature, but they also purify the air, reduce stress, and create a soothing ambiance. Learn more about the top indoor plants that are perfect for your new abode.

Snake plant
The snake plant is a popular choice for indoor gardening due to its hardy nature and air-purifying qualities. Its long, sword-like leaves have a striking appearance and come in various shades of green. They can survive long periods of drought, as well as low light. Snake plants are also known for their ability to filter out toxins and release oxygen at night, making them an ideal bedroom companion.

Pothos
Pothos is a versatile and low-maintenance plant that thrives in a wide range of lighting conditions. Its heart-shaped leaves cascade gracefully, making it a great choice for hanging baskets or placing on shelves. This plant is excellent for beginners as it can tolerate irregular watering.

ZZ Plant
The ZZ plant is known for its ability to thrive in low-light environments, making it perfect for basements, bathrooms, or other spaces with limited natural light. Its glossy, dark green leaves grow in a feather-like pattern, adding a unique touch to any room. ZZ plants are highly tolerant of neglect and can survive occasional bouts of drought, making it another great option for beginners.

Peace Lily
If you’re looking for a plant that not only adds beauty but also helps improve air quality, the Peace Lily is an excellent choice. With its elegant white flowers and glossy, deep green leaves, it adds a touch of sophistication to any space. Peace lilies thrive in low to medium light conditions and prefer to be kept evenly moist.

Fiddle Leaf Fig
For those seeking a statement plant that commands attention, the fiddle leaf fig is a showstopper. Its large, violin-shaped leaves create a dramatic focal point in any room. Fiddle leaf figs prefer bright, indirect light and regular watering. Shoreline’s floor-to-ceiling Pella® glass walls maximize natural light making it the perfect home for a fiddle leaf fig, as they need to be placed near a window to flourish.

Spider Plant
Spider plants are beloved for their arching leaves with white and green stripes, resembling little spiders dangling from the stems. They are excellent air purifiers and adapt well to different lighting conditions. Spider plants produce cascading plantlets that can be propagated to grow new plants, making them perfect for sharing with friends and family.

By incorporating indoor plants into your new home, you can create a peaceful and vibrant sanctuary and add a pop of color to your space. Remember to consider lighting conditions, watering needs, and your personal preferences when selecting plants.
