]]> Transforming your living room into a refreshing oasis doesn’t require a complete overhaul. A simple house plant can breathe new life into your space, purify the air, and add a touch of nature’s tranquility. Not all plants thrive in the living room environment, though, so choosing the right ones is key. Here are some options to consider.

Snake Plant

The snake plant, with its upright, sword-like leaves, is not only striking in appearance but also incredibly hardy. It’s an ideal choice for living rooms, especially if you’re not blessed with a green thumb. This plant can survive low light conditions and irregular watering, making it perfect for busy homeowners. 

Fiddle Leaf Fig

The fiddle leaf fig is a trendy addition to any living room, thanks to its large, glossy leaves that make a bold statement. This plant prefers bright, indirect light and needs to be watered only when the top inch of soil is dry. 

Peace Lily

If you’re looking to add a flowering plant to your living room, the peace lily is a beautiful and low-maintenance option. It thrives in medium to low light and features glossy green leaves with elegant white blooms. Peace lilies are not only visually appealing but also excellent at purifying the air.

]]> Houseplants are a beautiful addition to the home. They bring some lovely fresh green to your indoor space and liven up the room. However they do require some love and attention at times, and one of the most basic forms of this is water. It’s sometimes hard to tell if a plant needs water or something else, so here are a few tips to help with this conundrum. 

Are the Leaves Drooping?

If the leaves of the plant are considerably less upright than usual and seem a bit sad and floppy, then this is usually a clear indication that water is needed. 

How Does the Soil Feel?

This is the most accurate way to tell whether a plant needs water but is a bit grubby. You’ll need to stick your hand into the soil of the plant to feel its moisture content. If the soil feels damp and is clumping together, then your plant is probably well watered. However, if the soil is dry and crumbly, then this means watering is overdue. 

Are the Leaves Starting to Brown?

Brown leaves can often mean dehydration, but it’s also a common indicator of too much direct sunlight. If the leaves are browning, then use the above two tips to try to work out if it’s due to water or light conditions.

]]> House plants have a special power to bring a lot of positive energy into your household and energize every room you walk into. Bonsais are no different, and here are three reasons why you should consider bringing one of these tiny trees into your life.

Easy to Grow

In order to be healthy and strong, Bonsai tree requires proper watering, soil and climate, but it’s generally seen as an easy-to-grow species. As long as you provide it with enough water and sun and occasional trimming, it should be just fine.

Doesn’t Take Space

Miniature size of Bonsai trees is one of their most attractive features. No matter how small your apartment is, you’ll find a breed that fits right in. You can even consider bringing one to your office, since it’s so easy to find room for them.

Long Life Span

Bonsai trees can survive for hundreds of years if the owner takes proper care of them. When you get one for your home, you’re not simply buying a house plant, but something that might become a family heirloom that you’ll pass on to your kids.

If you decide to book a spot for your plants at this botanicals-only hotel, they’ll be taken care of by a team of specialists, who will store them in a room with perfect sunlight and tend to all their needs while you enjoy your holiday.

Hotel manager Rose Grower discussed this unique idea with House Beautiful and described Patch Plant Hotel as a sanctuary for your beloved plants.

“They will be in great company and looked after with the respect and love they so richly deserve.
