In a journalistic report, which included the participation of different specialists on the world of decorative plants, The Washington Post revealed which are the most recommended types of plants for interiors of houses and apartments. A global trend that increased with the factors of the pandemic and, specifically in the country, when the quarantine was applied. From the list of the American newspaper, seven types of plants for the home stand out.
Hoya linearis
An excellent choice for a tall shelf or plant hanger. According to specialists, hoyas are somewhat drought tolerant, but they should not be left to dry out for long. Although they need a lot of light, the plant rewards it with an annual bloom of white, star-shaped flowers.
glorious philodendron
Philodendrons are often considered to be ideal for beginners. Sarah Gerrard-Jonesauthor of ” The Plant Rescuer: The book your houseplants want you to read “, recommends the philodendron gloriosum. With its billowy, heart-shaped leaves, the plant can add variation to a much more standard houseplant collection.
prayer plant
According to experts, it is a patterned variety related to the calathea, but it requires less maintenance. This type of plant prefers bright indirect light and its soil should remain slightly moist to the touch. “They are not vines, nor do they necessarily grow upright, but they do tend to shoot up and grow very architecturally,” the American outlet explained.
Calathea
Although calatheas are more difficult to care for than most other houseplants, they do have striking foliage. Calatheas need bright, but indirect light, because they burn easily. They also require constant humidity.
Alocasia
According to specialists, alocasias like bright, indirect light from “an east or west facing window with a wide view of the sky.” The maximum height in its growth stage makes them perfect for filling open corners or free spaces next to sofas.
Anthurium clarinervium
Anthuriums are to graduate in care, because the plant belongs to the Araceae family and requires versatility. As an introduction to this species, Gerrard-Jones recommends the anthurium clarinervium, which has velvety, heart-shaped leaves with white veins.
Cactus Catedral
The cathedral cactus is a fast-growing, sky-reaching plant with thick, draping leaves. In general, this species does not need a lot of water and prefers humid spaces such as a bathroom or kitchen. However, the cathedral acclimatizes better in dry places. “It’s got this really interesting shape,” says Gerrard-Jones, “and it gives a kind of jungle vibe to a room.”
