The Best House Plants, and How to Care For Them

We are loving all of the indoor plants appearing in our instagram feeds, in interiors photos and store windows everywhere. House plants are the perfect way to bring life into a space; The green leaves add colour and a lightness. If you haven’t had house plants before and are unsure of which plant to choose or which indoor plant will suit your space, then this guide that we’ve pulled together is for you!

What plant is best for indoors?

There are a variety of plants we love for indoors. Whether you’re after a small succulent for your desk, a monsterous monstera or a delicate string of hanging pearls, there’s a plant out there for you. Maybe you’d actually like to propagate a plant? A fantastic option for those low on budget or space is plant cuttings. They look incredible in vases or jars, and it’s also the perfect oppourtunity to invest in some interesting vases until those babies are ready to pot. We love sticking them in recycled kombucha bottles on our desks in the HoH office, or popping them in french wine bottles on the kitchen sill.

Pick of the Pots

Second only to the excitement of getting a new plant is most definitely finding the perfect plant-home to go with it. We’ve been having fun checking out what’s new instore and here’s our round up of our current favourites.

Natural Baskets & Bark Pots

There are so many great baskets out there – choose the one that you love and that suits your plant size. If you are after something more rigid than a basket, but still natural and organic then have a look at bark or clay pots.

Pot Stands

It can be hard finding shelve or floor space for our plants – unless your plant is a big grown-up plant, placing them on the floor can make the babies vulnerable to being kicked over, eaten by pets or a lack of sunshine. Plant stands are a fantastic option to show off your plant babies, and keep them out of harm’s way. They also allow you to play with the vertical placement of the plants, and offer an alternative to hanging basket for your cascading friends.
