Homes with large yards to create backyard retreats tend to lack indoor plants, as they simply do not need a second outlet to the art of gardening. Gardening for apartment owners, however, is difficult and often cannot be done at all. Apartment owners are often compelled to find an alternative way to grow plants and bring greenery throughout the home. Indoor plants are a great way to bring a botanical burst to a small space. If looked after correctly, they can flourish just as well as they would have outside.

Devil’s Ivy:

Experts say that this plant is the best indoor plant to have around the house. This is a plant that offers the owners some creativity as it can be hung in baskets and placed in any pot of any shape. Devils Ivy can also be placed in light or dimly lit rooms, and doesn’t need your attention all day, with owners able to get away with watering the plant every few days. If the plants soil is moist experts recommend leaving it until the soil dries before watering again.

Philodendron:

Each Philodendron is unique, ranging from different sizes to different growth habits. These plants give off a tropical feel, yet they are suitable in just about any home environment. The plant works best in well-lit rooms away from direct sunlight with regular watering. The best time to water is when the soil is near dry but not too wet and to remove dead leaves to help flowering flourish.

Peace Lily:

Peace Lilies are beautiful indoor plants that flower white lilies. A Peace Lily does not need a lot of light and is recommended to be placed in a warm spot away from direct sunlight. This plant does need daily attention, with frequent watering to keep the soil moist at all times. The plant must be sitting in a pot, with twisted roots cut away before filling the pot with potting mix and soil. To keep the plant healthy, picking off dead leaves and making sure dust doesn’t collect onto the leaves by wiping with a damp cloth every few days will keep it in top shape.
