Water only when the soil begins to dry; gently push your finger into the soil to test for moisture. Spathiphyllum thrives in very humid conditions. Apply a slow-release fertilizer during spring. It is the perfect indoor plant for adding a cool tropical vibe.

Flamingo Flower

Water: Twice a week
Light: Shade

This indoor plant is a wonderful starter plant at a low cost. It has light green heart-shaped leaves and is small and lovely. It also functions as an air filter and has relaxing qualities. If the leaves have turned yellow, it means it has been overwatered. The Anthurium is native to the Americas, where it is distributed from northern Mexico to northern Argentina and parts of the Caribbean.

 

It can be propagated by seed or vegetatively by cuttings. Keep out of direct sunlight and preferably water it every three days. Some varieties of Anthurium have beautiful glossy red single-petal flowers.

Bromeliad

Water: Once a week
Light: Shade

The Bromeliad features thick glossy leaves with a long-lasting bright red or orange blossom at the top. It thrives in the shade and is simple to care for. Water once a week and mist the leaves if dry.

 

Bromeliads develop side shoots, which will eventually take the place of the main plant. It prefers a temperature of roughly 70 degrees, which makes it suitable for use at home. It is recommended to keep it out of the way of cold drafts. Bromeliads have colorful, long-lasting blooms (which last for weeks) that come in shades of pink, red, orange, and yellow.

Lady Palm

Water: Once a week
Light: Bright (A little shade)

A full and colorful palm is always a welcome addition to any house, and the Lady Palm is a fantastic option. This palm, unlike others, is easier to care for and simply requires indirect sunshine.

 

During spring and summer, when its active growth is happening, water whenever the top inch of soil feels dry. During fall and winter, reduce watering to whenever the top 2 inches of soil feel dry.

String of Pearls

Water: When the soil is dry
Light: Bright (A little shade)

Place this little guy on a shelf and watch him grow its beads. Make sure it is in bright, indirect sunshine. Like most other succulents, the string of pearls is drought tolerant. Make sure to plant it in a pot with a drainage hole and use a potting mix suitable for cacti.

 

Soak the soil thoroughly when watering, then make sure to let the topsoil dry out completely before watering again.

Albuca Frizzle Sizzle

Water: When the soil is dry
Light: Sunlight

This is a unique and cute plant to have around! It’s not only easy to care for, but it also emits a lovely vanilla-like aroma when it blooms. Albuca ‘Frizzle Sizzle’ does best in full sun.

 

You’ll want to let the soil dry out between waterings. One of the best things about this plant is that there are no pest or disease problems, making it an ideal home garden plant.

Aglaonema Chinese Evergreen

Water: When the soil is dry
Light: Shade

Aglaonema is a plant known for the fact that it can endure a lot of water. It also comes in a variety of hues, including green, pink, white, and red. Chinese evergreen care is simple.

 

Let the top couple of inches of soil dry out between waterings. If you miss an occasional watering, Aglaonemas usually bounce back. They can also take in dry indoor air, but they prefer high humidity.

Asparagus Fern

Water: Once a week
Light: Bright (A little shade)

Due to the fact that it isn’t truly a fern, this fluffy plant can endure a lot more than other ferns. They do best in bright but indirect light, out of direct sunshine. They need a minimum temperature of 55°F. Keep away from radiators.

 

Asparagus setaceus in particular thrives in humidity, so a bright bathroom is the ideal place for it. It will thrive if the soil is kept moist.

Air Plant

Water: Once a week
Light: Bright (A little shade)

Tillandsia does not require any soil to grow. It is recommended, however, to soak them in water for two or three hours every 10 days or so approximately.

 

Air plants will do best in temperatures between 60-80°F. During spring and summer, use air plant foliar spray or soak in air plant water-dissolvable fertilizer while soak-watering. Do this one to two times a month. Air plants are considered to be non-toxic.

Poinsettia

Water: When the soil is dry
Light: Bright (A little shade)

Another inexpensive option for your home is the Poinsettia, which has dark leaves at the bottom and gorgeous Christmas red leaves at the top. It grows well in the sun (for at least 6 hours) as well as in the shade.

 

Water your Poinsettia when the soil surface feels dry to a light touch, or the pot feels lightweight when lifted. Keep them comfortable, ideally between 65-75°F, day or night.

Zebra Plant

Water: When the soil is dry
Light: Bright (A little shade)

This indoor plant has zebra stripes that contrast between light and dark green, as its name suggests. Zebra plants thrive in bright, indirect light. Water your zebra plant when the top 25% of soil is dry.

 

Water thoroughly, and be sure to empty the saucer of any excess water to prevent root rot. Avoid watering directly on the leaves, as water can funnel down the stems and cause crown rot.

Moonlight

Water: Once a week
Light: Sunlight

This plant is a show stopper, with its bright yellow, almost fluorescent-like leaves. It’s eye-catching and a must-have for any indoor plant enthusiast. It also has pink blooms that pair well with the leaves.

 

Moonlight thrives in a good couple of hours of direct sunlight in the morning. For the rest of the day, keep it in bright indirect light. Water regularly to maintain evenly moist soil – weekly or more often.

Burgundy Rubber Tree

Water: Once a week
Light: Bright (A little shade)

Because this plant grows swiftly, it demands a larger container. Its thick, glossy foliage and dark green color will brighten up any space. Rubber trees in their native Asia can grow to be over 100 feet tall, but frequent trimming will keep them in control.

 

A potted rubber tree can handle direct sunlight, but it will appreciate it if you place it in a little more shady location. Water once the soil has dried up, which should be roughly once a week. During the summer, spray it every day to keep it moist. Water it twice a month in the winter.

Flapjack – Kalanchoe Thyrsiflora

Water: When the soil is dry
Light: Sunlight

This is a tough plant that flourishes in the summer and will seek sunlight whenever it can. Its thick light green leaves with a top pink border make it a superb and unusual plant that will pique the interest of all your guests at your party. According to professional gardeners, the kalanchoe “requires very little maintenance.”

 

Colorful, bell-shaped flowers (they come in many colors) bloom on this water-retaining succulent, which can survive arid regions and temperature changes. She says that it is fine even in 45-degree cold weather. How often should you water it? Only if the soil is dry.

Painted Leaf Begonia

Water: 1-2 weeks
Light: Sunlight

The Painted Leaf Begonia is a bright and cheerful plant with red, white, and silver ornamental leaves. If the soil continues to dry up, you may need to re-pot this one. If you want the greatest results, feed your plant once a month with liquid fertilizer. Moisture should be present but not excessively soggy.

 

The only watering requirement is to keep an eye on the soil and water once every 7-10 days. It naturally grows relatively high up in the foothills of the Himalayas, typically on shady slopes and moist ledges, and requires high humidity and warm temperatures in cultivation.

Widow’s Thrill – Kalanchoe Calandiva

Water: When the soil is dry
Light: Sunlight

This is another one of our indoor flowering plants that are also succulent, so you know it will be simple to care for. During the winter, most flowers die, but the Widow’s Thrill blooms with a variety of red, orange, white, and pink petals. Water once a week, but make sure you don’t overwater by checking the soil.

 

The Kalanchoe Calandiva is glabrous, which means that it lacks surface ornamentation such as hairs, scales or bristles. It’s native to Madagascar, where the plant can be found growing in the cool plateaus of the Tsaratanana Mountains, growing in humus soil.

Ponytail Palm

Water: 2-3 weeks
Light: Sunlight

Every Australian plant enthusiast loves to hear the phrases “hardy” and “drought-tolerant.” This indoor plant has a sturdy trunk with gorgeous falling leaves. You might not see it flower the first summer because it is a slow-growing plant, but when it does, you will be greeted with fluffy white flowers.

 

The slow-growing ponytail palm, officially known as Beaucarnea Recurvata, enjoys soaking up the sun under a sunny window. Do not overwater the Mexico native since “its stems work off its reserves,” according to professional gardeners. Ideally, water every 2-3 weeks. This one would look good on an empty corner.

That’s a gigantic banana plant

Here you will see many proud plant parents showing off the results of their hard work. That is one gigantic banana plant right there, isn’t it? There are numerous sorts of banana trees, and we are unsure whether or not this particular one produces fruit. However, if anyone wants it to keep growing, one needs to dig it up and replant it somewhere with more room for it to spread out.

Moreover, if the intention is to keep banana plants indoors, it is strongly suggested to get the miniature variety. That way, you won’t have to deal with issues like this one, and the plant will also be alive. Some dwarf-type trees produce fruit, but the fruit must be picked before it can ripen since the tree is too small.

The one with the baby caps

Because we do not have a lot of experience with plants, we are going to speculate that this is some cactus. Because of how adorable it seems with its little hats, we had no choice but to add this plant to the list. Now, all that is required is a few shot glasses filled with margaritas and some music! We have a good feeling that the plant will begin to sway from side to side.

 

This jovial cactus seems to have life figured out, and oh, look, there’s an octopus arm over to the side. It is deserving of its very own teeny-tiny cap.

The home with overgrown greenery

This woman’s plant collection has entirely taken over her home. We are very optimistic that if she had been married to a minimalist man, he would have already presented her with separation papers. That, she would have gladly signed in exchange for keeping the plants. If she had been married to a minimalist, the separation papers would have already been served.

 

Call plant mothers crazy, but their plants keep them sane. These women cannot be separated from their plants and greenery by anything, not even their husbands. Therefore, wives everywhere should remain vigilant. Do not place the wife in a position where she must choose between her companion and the plants.

Start ’em young!

It is never too soon to start instructing children to tend to plants properly. When it comes to the carbon cycle, it’s common knowledge that plants play a key part in it. They do this by taking in carbon dioxide and producing carbohydrates that contain carbon.

 

Photosynthesis is another name for this process. The world we live in would seem considerably different if plants did not exist. Not only are plants lovely ornaments, but maybe this little girl will realize how essential plants are and why we need to plant them and care for them properly.

The kind of balcony we all want

Now, this is the kind of balcony that we all would admire. The plant draped over the balcony and growing without any intervention is known as the Burro’s tail plant. Extremely delicate, it is prone to drop its leaves if handled.

 

It’s a plant that hangs from the ceiling and has cylindrical stems covered with leaves that overlap each other. Since it can survive in dry conditions and high temperatures, the Burro’s tail is an excellent plant for those with a green thumb who reside in regions with warm to moderate climates. We have to give credit to whoever was responsible for planting this Burro’s tail since it is fragile, it is thriving.

Keep a safe distance from the plants

We may believe that this plant mama is not a very thankful person, but other people need to understand that not all good intentions create excellent results. But there is more to watering plants and helping people, and many people are unaware of it. Watering plants with an excess of water can lead to disastrous results.

 

This is just one example. Many of us believe that providing plants with a lot of water will help them develop more quickly and remain healthy, but that’s not always the case. This plant mother designed a sign to discourage visitors from giving the plants any more water. They seem to have stopped, which is good.

Choice between- big leaf or small hand

We have a hunch that the answer to the question is yes, that is quite a big leaf, and that is a tiny hand. This is the sense that we have. It’s not even a genuine hand—it’s a hand of a doll—and we can tell just by looking at it that it’s not real. It could very well be Ken or Barbie inspecting their plant at that moment, for all we know.

 

As this leaf can yet grow into a larger size, it requires additional space to do so. We adore the way the Monstera leaf glistens in the light. Since it appears to be in excellent condition, we can safely conclude that its plant mother adores it and provides it with all the necessary attention and care.

When it comes to the Henk, we’re in love

When we think that this beautiful plant will steal the show, along comes Henk, the equally lovely cat, to steal the spotlight away from the plant. What a blessed existence Henk has! To put it another way, his presence did nothing except enhance the photo. Look, there he is, poking his head out from under the leaves of the Oxalis!

 

We wish that we could hold him in our arms and shower him with all of the love and attention that the world has to offer. We are conscious that we are supposed to be talking about the plant, yet we are unable to refrain from talking about something else.

Mother and daughter duo

Take a look at this incredible mother and daughter team composed of two Dioon Edule plants. They are charming, aren’t they? The Dioon Edule is a type of cycad that has a very sluggish growth rate but has the potential to reach heights of 8 feet and widths of 6 feet. From the looks of things, these two still have significant growth to do before reaching their peak height.

 

This tropical plant existed before the period of the dinosaurs, which indicates that they have been present for quite some time. After looking at this picture, we suddenly realize that we’ve been missing out all along and will have to go out and get a Dioon Edule plant for ourselves. Our home could use it.

What is it like to have your own home be a greenhouse?

When we view this snapshot, many thoughts come to our heads, like, “Wow, that’s a gorgeous house,” or “What’s it like living in a plant house?” The designer did a fantastic job, considering how stunning the walls are and how well they complement the room. However, we are curious whether or not there are a significant number of insects that climb up the windows and doors.

 

In addition, how can we ensure that they continue to receive adequate moisture and remain robust? Although some plants require less watering than others, there are some exceptions. It’s only that we can’t say for sure whether or not the plants we see here belong to that category.

The colors on this one are fantastic

We can’t get enough of this plant’s vibrant colors. How is it possible for the same plant to have green and cream leaves? We are convinced that the leaves are not genuine because they appear so amazing. However, we do have one query.

 

Is the cream leaf as photosensitive as the green ones? Plants with multiple colors, such as this one, help break up the monotony. We all need some uniqueness in our lives occasionally, and who are we to argue with plants if they are willing to source it?

Congratulations on having such a green thumb!

It’s lovely to see such a green thumb, especially when we’ve put in effort and time. This plant has nothing but praise for its plant father, and as a result, it expresses its approval by giving the thumbs up. And who could blame it? It is prospering, and it appears to be in good health!

 

Do we all agree that this is a literal case of having a green thumb? And this was the very first time any of us had come across one. This is just the cutest thing ever! Even though we are unsure of our planting skills and capabilities, we are interested in giving this a shot.

Overfloweth of the cup

The way that this homeowner staged and ornamented the plant is something that we admire. The string of pearls plant is a succulent vine that is a member of the Asteraceae family. The term “string of pearls” comes from the plant’s appearance. A slender stem supports a cluster of green bubble-shaped leaves.

 

Hanging planters are the best way to grow this plant. Thus, this plant mother is doing an excellent job of tending to her baby plants. It’s almost as though the plant’s beauty will overflow the container. Alternatively, the plant can be grown outdoors, either in a pot or larger plants’ shadow.

Room with butterflies

We have a deep appreciation for flora, and if there is one more thing about flowers that we could adore, it would be the tales that surround them. The history of these gorgeous Oxalis plants, which have the appearance of purple butterflies, is fascinating. The parent plant received it as an inheritance from a devoted grandfather who passed away.

 

They had no choice but to clear away all of the vegetation when they initially obtained it because it was in such a poor state of disrepair. After some time had passed, the plant began to flourish once more and is now in an exceptional condition. They’ve done an excellent job with it overall.

It’s time when the Huernia Zebrina blooms

It’s not often that we witness the Huernia zebrina, also known as the Lifesaver plant, in bloom. So for a fan of these plants, this picture will be a picture of joy. This succulent is easy to grow and nurture and doesn’t require a lot of space.

 

Even in the small containers used for bonsai, it may thrive. The Lifesaver plant produces unique five-pointed flowers. These flowers resemble a star with zebra stripes and a root beer flavoured resembling lifesaver in the middle of the flower. Because it is a flower that isn’t commonly seen, we can see why people get so excited when the Lifesaver plant they’ve been caring for finally produces flowers.

Plants are family too!

Some people consider their siblings and sisters, their best friends, and even their neighbors to be their family members. To other people. It’s possible that the kind of people that have four legs and fur, like dogs and cats, are the ones who steadily work their way into our hearts.

 

It’s all about the plants for this lady. Take a look at her taking a picture with her assortment of plants, which include succulents and many other kinds of plants. She has a proud expression on her face. She has the air of a majestic monarch looking down on her subjects of a greenish color.

Entrance flanked by enormous plants

These gargantuan plants appear to be keeping watch over their owner’s residence. This photo was shot in a Bahamas home and showed a collection of dumb canes. Dieffenbachia, sometimes known as dumb canes, is currently one of the most popular choices for houseplants, and it is easy to understand why.

 

They require little maintenance, and their foliage is variegated with shades of green and white. There are about thirty different species and over one hundred different cultivars. They gained their name because the raphides found in their leaves can poison people and leave them unable to speak.

Jungle on the balcony

Well, take a look at that balcony. Isn’t it hard to believe that a neighbor hasn’t already reported this homeowner? It appears as though whoever lives there is attempting to cultivate an urban jungle, and we can be sure that there will be a significant number of insects there.

 

Because of the angle at which we are viewing, it appears as though the plants are stacked one on top of the other. How can they water the plants and ensure that they remain healthy given this arrangement? They may want to keep prying eyes at bay since they have neighbors who are too nosy.

Favorite Corner

We would like to know where they obtained that shelf since it is pretty good, and we’d love to have that in our home as well, although it wouldn’t necessarily be used for plants. If they could tell us where they got it, that would be great. In addition to the greens, there are many other items that come to mind that may be displayed there.

 

However, we feel the need to applaud this person because they have done a relatively decent job of tending to the plants and ensuring that they receive the admiration that is really due to them. The colorful accents and the yam on top are huge wins in our view.

When in need of a breath of fresh air

There are moments when we are so drained that we appear to have been emptied of life. This plant seems to be going through the same stage. The custodian had no choice but to put up a sign because the color and life had been drained from it, and he was afraid that someone might believe it was dead.

 

We don’t want anyone to dump off their perfect plants. So, if one needs to sign to safeguard their plant, they should do so. Protect the greens, or in this case, browns, by doing everything one can.

What a sight for sore eyes

When we get things done in the right way, we can’t help but feel a sense of accomplishment. It’s one of those times right here despite everything else in our life seeming to be falling apart. When we first lay eyes on this flowering orchid, immense satisfaction and pride takes over us.

 

We adore the light pink color and the abundance of orchids that have grown to a nearly vertical height. On the other hand, some people are so terrible at maintaining a life that they can’t even keep plants alive. If only everyone could be like this one person, the world would be filled with more beautiful flowers.

Breathe-taking cacti

Christmas cacti are our favorite plants, but we’ve never seen one with this many flowers before! How did they get this creature to get so enormous in their own house? In Brazil in the early 1800s, the Christmas cactus was initially discovered and described as a traditional holiday plant.

 

It needs a temperature of at least 50 degrees Fahrenheit to thrive, but it can survive lower temperatures quite nicely. One family has passed down the same Christmas cactus for nearly 150 years, making it one of the longest-lived plants in the world.

Happy for these members of the family

One individual would want to have plants, trees, and animals for family members rather than for humans who are still alive. Why is it the case? Because they are simpler to deal with in most cases, they do not make unreasonable requests, and they can be ignored for extended periods without causing any problems.

 

We can appreciate why she is so proud of her enormous plants and her lovable dog. Due to the dog’s endearing appearance, we wouldn’t mind going on a stroll with it at any hour of the day. Oh, we are curious about the tree species as well because it may make an excellent addition to one of our houses.

That is one mighty proud guy right there

When someone mentions having a green thumb, the image immediately comes to mind is of a woman wearing gardening gloves and slowly making her way into the yard. The revelation that the person with the green thumb is a male comes as a shock to us. Please take a look at this guy; it’s clear that he has a lot of pride in his Prince of Orange.

 

This particular philodendron has such a beautiful orange hue and pattern. But rumor has it that its leaves are paper-thin and brittle, even though it is very simple to care for.

Plants are Grandma’s forte

Look at the orchid blooming three years after it was given to this grandma as a present by one of her grandchildren! Clearly, this granny has a green thumb. The current owner purchased it from a supermarket, and it has grown to have more than forty flowers since then.

 

We have to admit that we are envious of grandma’s ability to cultivate orchids, much less bring them to full bloom. Nevertheless, at the same time, we want to give her our highest praise. She has been showering the orchid with all the attention and affection it needs to open its petals.

We adore his coping strategy

People look to different things for support when struggling with anxious feelings, challenging or traumatic emotions, or both. Some people chew their nails, while others turn to eat, and there is a growing subset of people in today’s society who turn to flora. What are they doing there?

 

They purchase the plants, then tend to them by cultivating and watering them. They have entire rainforests growing within their rooms! This man is unconcerned about what other people think of him when he displays his plants since he takes great pride in them. He is content, and that is the only thing that truly matters.

That’s a lot of plants to move around

When we first saw this, the first thing that went through our heads was how relieved we were that we weren’t the ones responsible for moving these two enormous plants! Since doing so would be an absolute disaster.

 

It is our best guess that they are at least ten feet tall. The desert candle cactus is hardy enough to survive droughts in West and South Africa, but it does best when given plenty of exposure to bright sunlight. A person will not get an injury from the plant growth because it does not have any sharp spines.

A plant straight out of a dream

This beautiful plant will set the tone for the rest of the items on the list. We have no trouble comprehending why the owner felt the need to flaunt it for all to see and appreciate, as it is deserving of such attention. Take a look at that stunningness!

Something like that can not be seen very frequently. We have to pinch ourselves to ensure the plant is not an imagination. And I do not blame anyone for this because the plant is gorgeous and exquisite. At first glance, it appears to be a plastic ornament or something conjured up in someone’s mind and brought to life in a beautiful shot.

Stunningly gorgeous

It would be stunningly gorgeous if we could only describe this orchid using as few words as possible, yet even that would not do it justice. Even though orchids are one of the oldest plant families, they are highly diverse. The tiniest orchids are typically beautiful and fragrant, and their average size is around a cent.

In the world, there are more than 25,000 different kinds of orchids. What a staggering number of orchids we have! However, orchid seeds are the tiniest seeds globally, and growing orchids is difficult. This is why we must congratulate the owner of this exquisitely stunning plant on their accomplishment.

Philodendron Congo

Water: Once a week
Light: Shade

The Philodendron Congo is a tropical and exotic showcase for your room or office. Its sturdy green foliage contrasted with rhubarb-colored stems will keep you looking at it for days. It is also an air-purifying plant, meaning it cleans the air and makes it easier to breathe.

 

Philodendrons have a lot to love about them. Their name is derived from the Greek words Philo – (meaning “love”) and dendron (meaning “tree”). Dark places and minimal watering are not a problem for most varieties. They like to be on the dry side, so only fill the watering can once a week.

No such thing as having too many plants

During the lockdown, many people developed an interest in gardening. They were stuck inside with nothing to do! Many of them were so bored that they began engaging in activities such as making arts and crafts, going to the gym, and growing plants.

 

This lady received several bites from the plant insect and her house ended up being converted into a greenhouse. Before she realized it, she had more plants than she desired for the home. But who could refuse such a diverse range of plants? The ecstatic mother admits to feeling overwhelmed at times.
