The best indoor plants

Today we are going to talk about the best indoor plants: furnishing with plants is today, as in the past, a great opportunity to enhance your environment with a touch of green, freshness and nature.

Furnishing your rooms with elegant indoor plants, sometimes particularly refined and extravagant, has become a big trend today.

Among all the plant species available on the market, there are some plants that, due to their characteristics and peculiarities, are particularly suitable for integration into the home furnishings. In particular, there are some species that have aroused the interest of great interior design experts and operators in the sector in general.

Here's everything you need to know about choosing hardy and interesting indoor plants to place in your space.

How to choose interior plants

Plants are used as real pieces of furniture, and once they have been placed in your home they are able to give great personality and style to your rooms, while also helping to purify the air.

A common aspect of every plant is its green colour, which can be more or less intense and bright, depending on the various plant species. One of the fundamental requirements when choosing the best plants for interior decoration is their height or ability to extend vertically. Choosing a tall indoor plant is a great opportunity to add dynamism to your home environment.

Here is our special selection of the best indoor plants to set up in your spaces that need little light and low maintenance in general.

Agave plant

The agave is a succulent plant that is characterised by its large size. This plant is mainly used to decorate outdoor spaces, but in some cases it can be the perfect tall indoor plant. By placing an agave plant in your space you can create a particularly scenic and attractive corner: this plant is able to give a considerable impact and visual effect.

This indoor plant can also be placed in a shady area and does not require any special maintenance: you only need to water it once a month to see it grow strong and luxuriant. The only advice we would give you if you decide to place an agave plant in your living space is to watch out for the thorns (hidden but present).

Potos plant

Potos is another plant that can give your space great personality and a truly impressive visual effect. Potos is an evergreen plant that is particularly hardy and able to live and proliferate in any environment: this plant is able to grow in both soil and water. All you need to do to grow it in your own environment is to detach a small branch from one of the plants of this species and put it in a glass of water, and you will soon see new roots appear.

The great beauty and uniqueness of this plant lies in its great ability to stretch, making it the perfect decoration for the walls of your home.

Sansevieria plant

Sansevieria is also known by the curious name of mother-in-law's tongue: again, this is a species that is extremely easy to care for and keep thriving and does not require much attention and maintenance. Sansevieria is characterised by its typical lance-shaped leaves that grow directly out of the ground. The advice we would like to give to all those who want to buy this plant is to make sure they have enough space for it: the Sansevieria can easily grow to over a metre in height.

Kenzia plant

The Kenzia plant is another plant that is perfect for use in the home: this species needs very little care to grow luxuriantly in the home. Interestingly enough, this plant belongs to the large palm family, taking up the perfect shape to create a tropical and ethnic atmosphere in the home.

Monstera Deliciosa plant

The monstera deliciosa is a typical Mexican plant characterised by the presence of large green leaves: as you can easily guess from its name, this plant is capable of reaching a monstrous size, tending to climb everywhere and growing out of proportion. For this plant it is important to pay attention to constant hydration: never allow the soil to become too dry.

Senecio Rowleyanus

Senecio rowleyanus is also known simply as the necklace plant: it is a succulent plant with a very distinctive appearance. Its stems look like a sort of pearl necklace due to the presence of special rounded leaves. This plant needs a lot of undirected light and does not need to be watered very often, especially during the cold season.

Pilea Peperomioides

Pilea Peperomioides is another plant that can create a beautiful visual effect in your home. This plant is known to most people as the coin plant and was imported from the East in the mid-20th century by a Norwegian missionary. This is why this plant spread to the West from the lands of Northern Europe. A special feature of the pilea is its great resistance and ability to proliferate without requiring special care and attention. Pilea is also a plant that can withstand drought very well.

Banana plant

In recent years the banana tree has been the undisputed queen of the most chic homes and fashionable places. The plant has become a real trend in interior design in recent years. The reason for the great popularity and commercial success of this plant is its ability to grow and proliferate without problems in our homes, which can sometimes be a problem. Our advice in this respect is to pay attention to its size, which can easily exceed 4 metres in height. For this reason, it is better to opt for a dwarf banana plant, especially if you don't have a lot of space.

Calathea plant

Calathea is a large plant family comprising more than 150 varieties of house plants. Characteristic of all calathea varieties is their beautiful, decorative leaves. These plants are also extremely easy to grow and care for. You can choose from a wide range of calathea species: small, large or very large and in a variety of colours.

Ficus Lyrata

The last fragrant and stylistically interesting indoor plant species we would like to recommend is the ficus. This plant is in fact a real tree that can grow up to 2 metres high. What is special about this species is its slender stem and large, bright green leaves: it is this particularly intense colour that makes this plant so popular with architects and interior designers. Ficus tends to thrive in humid environments, so we recommend that you place this plant in the bathroom, or alternatively spray it frequently.
