I love indoor plants but in the past I've never had much luck with them. By luck I mean they never lasted too long under my care!


indoor plants will do the same.
There are a number of plants that are particularly great for
air purification.
Theres a great article here on the benefits Chasing foxes article
Some of these plants are very easy to source and are low cost and maintenance. The first plant I got was an indoor Ivy plant which I also managed to propagate easily. You just take a cutting from one plant, pop it into water and a couple of weeks later it will have grown new roots , and a brand new plant for free!
I've also become a huge fan of succulents and cacti which are also very easy to maintain and can be a decorating feature also!
Beautiful selections of plants and planters
The monstera plant is popular at the moment and I spotted them in Ikea for euro15
IKEA has a great selection of indoor plants but you can pick them up in local garden centres and even supermarkets.
Back to the whole keeping houseplants alive, I realised the main thing I was doing wrong was overwatering. I was watering daily, and once a week is usually enough (check care instructions for each plant). Every Friday I water the plants unless I spot leaves starting to droop!
Also a lot of indoor plants are not a fan of direct sunlight, which is great for hallways and studios like mine that aren't in direct sunlight.
A few months down the line of filling my room and my house with indoor plants (I can't resist them these days) I find the health benefits are there
I can not recommend enough!
