How Do I Pick a Houseplant?
How Do I Pick a Houseplant? There are plenty of reasons to create your own lush oasis in your home. In addition to their aesthetic, houseplants supply health benefits. Some of these benefits include air purification, better sleep and a happier, more relaxed and productive mindset. Keep these key factors in mind when selecting plants for your home: Your space: When selecting plants, think about how much space you have. Is your space better for hanging plants, floor plants or tabletop and shelf plants? Light source: The light that your space gets plays a large role in what plants you should include. You can make modifications with things like curtains or artificial lighting if your space isn’t conducive to the plant that you want. Climate: This isn’t as important for an indoor space thanks to air conditioning. But if you don’t have that luxury or don’t like to use it, the temperature of your home could play a role in which plants will thrive in your space. Consider your schedule: Look for plants that fit your care capabilities. For example, don’t pick a high maintenance plant if you’re out of the house a lot — reserve those difficult plants for when you’re ready for the commitment. Pets and children: If you have fur babies or small children in your home it is important that you pick non-toxic plants or keep them out of reach. Look through this list of poisonous plants carefully to make sure the plants you pick are safe for all of your home’s inhabitants. Your style: Consider the style of your home when selecting your plants. Are you going for a jungle look? Try creating a lush living plant wall. Maybe you want something more low-key like an herb garden or succulent feature.

Iron, Aglaonema, Dracaena Lisa, Sansevieria plants. Note: if you can’t read a book as it is too dark in certain areas then it is too dark for any plant as well.
SHOULD I MIST MY PLANTS? WHICH PLANTS LIKE TO HAVE LEAVES MISTED?
Plants like Bird of Paradise, Philodendron, Fern, Iron plant, Bella Palm will enjoy if you mist their leaves often. Plants like Majesty Palm and Spider plant should have air misted around them. Plants like Snake, ZZ, Yucca, Jade prefer not to be misted. Heat dries out the air the most, and misting pants that love humidity daily during the cold season is essential. AC will remove moisture from the air as well but not as much. Mist your humidity loving plants at least few times a week during the warm season. A humidifier is also a good option. Your skin and your plants will benefit from it equally 🙂
WHAT ARE THE LITTLE DARK FLIES SWARMING OVER THE POTS OF MY PLANTS?
They are probably fungus gnats. They are not very harmful to plants but very annoying to us:) These guys can come from anywhere - air vents, drain pipes, etc. They find nice warm and moist environment to lay their eggs in. Frequent or excessive watering encourages their development. You can usually get rid of them by reducing the frequency of watering and allowing the soil to dry more between watering.
