The Ideal Houseplant
A plant with tropical origins does not make it a guaranteed “success” as a houseplant. What “features” make for the ideal house plant?
- Tolerates or handles dry indoor air
- Easy to propagate
- Can maintain or tops out at ceiling height
- Requires minimal pruning
- Looks good all year round
- Resistant to disease or insects
- Handles the occasional abuse or neglect - like forgetting to water
- Perfect conditions are not needed to survive
What plants would/could pass these requirements?
- ZZ Plant
- Sanseveria
- Aglaonema
- Aspidistra
- Pothos
These are some of my picks. What houseplants do you find the best?
