If you want to freshen up your living room, clean the air, or bring a little part of nature in, houseplants can make bring a real change to your home.
Keen to buy potted plants online but not sure where to start?
The most famous houseplant on the earth (as per the apostles of IG and Pinterest), Fiddles are valued for their big, luscious leaves.
Like a little-one who loses his calm when he doesn't get enough focus, Fiddles are sensitive and will sulk if things aren't quite what they like. The trick to maintaining your Fiddle in a positive mood is to put it in a well-lit spot (but not right in the front of a window where it's likely to cope with the wrath of the Australian sun.)
Also, water occasionally; Before watering, put your fingers into the pot, and if the soil feels damp, skip sprinkling until it has dried out— the rule works for all plants.
Monstera Deliciosa, Mexican Breadfruit or Swiss cheese; call it whichever way you like, but there is no questioning to the popularity of this suburb favourite.
Although some houseplants are happy to stay in and as small potted plants online, Monsteras need space to expand, so think large when selecting on a pot and where to put it in your home as it can be difficult to shift.
Hailing from the tropics, Monsters love humid environs, so they will thrive when put in your bathroom (as long as there is plenty of natural daylight available) where they can absorb your post-shower fog.
No shelf is perfect without the swirling strands of the String of Pearls hungover, but before you check them out in a plant store online, think twice, for this extremely picturesque plant is a tricky beast to maintain.
As with many houseplants, this beauty prefers indirect sunshine and well-drained soil, so you'll need to place it in a pot with multiple drainage holes and avoid the temptation to water daily. Alternatively, find a container you love (anything from an old kettle to a pretty bowl) and get someone to drill some small holes.
Don't be deceived by the name, Devil's Ivy is a divine addition to any home or plant set. Second only to the succulents in terms of its ability to sustain and thrive with someone who isn't endowed with gardening skills, Devil's Ivy is made of tough things.
Buy a potted plant online of your choice (size does not really matter) and put it wherever you like. Dark spots? Don't worry. Sunlit window? In the balcony? Not a problem at all. You can put Devil's Ivy just about anywhere, and it will continue to thrive as long as you water it consistently.
As your Devil's Ivy develops fuller, cultivate new plants by cutting off existing leaves and leaving the stems in water until new roots develop.
A common option of decoration in trendy cafés across the country, Mother In Law's Tongue is a distant cousin of asparagus (which explains its tall, shooting-up leaves) but please try to resist the temptation to serve it with a toast.
Tough in form and highly resilient, this breed is tougher to kill than a bad guy in a horror movie, so don't bother much about over or under-watering.
Sold in most of the nursery retail stores online, Mother In Law's Tongue is so popular and easy to grow. Shop around to garner the best price—they can grow up to 3-4 feet tall!
A soaring star on the online potted plant scene due to its stunning leaves, the stylish Calathea is steadily gaining popularity with both planting enthusiasts and novice green thumbs alike.
Calathea needs some serious TLC to survive, including keeping it well-moisturised with purified water (as low-quality tap water may cause leaf burns), plus periodic fertilisation.
Prune off dead leaves to encourage new growth and plan to play with different spots in your home before you find one with the right combination of light and dampness – your washroom could be a great starting point. You'll know that your plant has found its perfect location when new leaves begin to spread.
