Indoor plants bring a very personal touch to an interior. Find out here which are the best plants to bring green to your home.

If you love flowers and nature in general, rest assured, we assure you that you can bring green into your home with indoor plants.

Indoor plants provide many benefits. They do not only provide aesthetic and decorative benefits, they can also help us improve our health, because they purify the air.

Although each plant is different and therefore has specific needs, there are some general characteristics to consider.

• Indoor plants usually need to be placed near a window
• They usually need a lot of light to grow well
• You have to be well informed about the amount of water each plant needs
• Whenever possible, it is best to water houseplants with rainwater.
• Certain plants help eliminate toxic substances from the house
• Some plants maintain an appropriate balance between humidity and drought in the apartment
• Indoor plants purify the air and flavor a space. This will allow you to avoid the use of indoor air fresheners.

Despite their many benefits, it’s true that indoor plants need more care than outdoor plants. Indoor plants are more delicate than garden plants.

When it comes to watering, it is important to ensure that the water does not stagnate and that the plant receives exactly the amount of water it needs: neither too little nor too much.
