Best Indoor Plants In Wisconsin | Fast Delivery | Bayside Garden Center

If you’re looking for ways to add life to your interior, adding a few indoor plants can do the magic. Indoor plants not only add greener tones to your décor but are also beneficial for your health. Many of them can actually purify the indoor air. Some of the best indoor plants actually take up minimum space, require very little maintenance, and bloom all year round, giving you a chance to grow your plants, even while living in an apartment on the top floor of a high-rise.

Eager to add some house plants to your interior? Here are some excellent options to consider:

1. Aloe Vera

Aloe Vera Can Be Grown in Any Home as Long as You Have the Sun Coming In

While Aloe Vera is best known for the numerous health benefits and healing properties it offers, it is an air-purifying gem as well. Cleaning the air of by-products of cleaning chemicals and paints, this spiky plant from the cactus family loves its daily dose of sunshine and can grow with minimal watering. Aloes work nicely in dish gardens and in rooms with Southwestern decor. Growing conditions: Bright light; 65 – 75°F; moderately dry soil.

2. Snake plant

Here’s a Snake That Doesn’t Hiss or Bite!

With long pointy leaves growing straight up from the roots, the plant not only has a unique appearance but is also quite beneficial for your health. This is because unlike other house plants, it gives off oxygen at night, making it the right fit for your bedroom. It thrives in low light conditions, needing very little water and care. Growing Conditions: Low to bright light; 60 – 85° moderately dry soil.

3. English ivy

This versatile plant is suitable for hanging baskets or pots. It’s among the best houseplants for training on topiary forms or using as a ground cover beneath larger houseplants. Place English ivy on a mantel or shelf where the stems can hang down. The stems can grow quite long but are easily controlled with pruning. Growing conditions: Medium to bright light; 55 – 70°F; average to high humidity; evenly moist soil.

4. Dieffenbachia

Arching pointed leaves up to 12 inches long, usually marbled with white or cream, grow out of a canelike stem. The large leaves of dieffenbachia provide a tropical architectural accent; the plant also blends well into a mixed grouping of foliage. One of dieffenbachia’s common names, dumb cane, comes from the toxic sap in the leaves and stems that causes tongue numbness and swelling when chewed by humans or pets. Growing conditions: Low to medium light; 65 – 80°F; evenly moist soil.

5. Peace lily

Cool and Shaded Spots Are Best for Peace Lilies

Want a low-maintenance flowering beauty to add charm to your indoors? Peace Lily is a flowering plant with graceful white flowers that will not only beautify your interior but purify the air as well. What’s more, they continue to bloom all year round in low-light conditions but require a cool spot below room temperature to survive. Growing Conditions: Low to bright light; 60 – 85°F; evenly moist soil.

6. Arrowhead vine

This lush foliage plant has dark green leaves marked with white veins. Use small plants in mixed baskets and with other foliage plants in tabletop gardens. Train vine types to an upright form on a moss pole. Arrowhead vine does well in artificial light. Growing conditions: Low to medium light; 60 – 75°F; evenly moist soil.

7. Spider plant

Spider plant looks beautiful in a hanging basket or on a pedestal, with its “babies” overflowing the pot. Most plants are the cultivar, which has a white stripe down the center of each leaf. Brown leaf tips, which are common with spider plants, are due to contaminated water, usually from fluoride, or to over fertilization, low humidity or dry soil conditions. Trim damaged leaves with scissors. Growing conditions: Medium to bright light; 65 – 75°F; evenly moist soil.

8. Parlor palm

The elegant, upright parlor palm has been a popular houseplant since Victorian times. It’s great for filling an empty corner and can get by on lower light than other palms. Young plants will do nicely in a terrarium while small. Growing conditions: Medium to low light; 55 – 75°F; evenly moist soil.
