How to Choose the Best Indoor Plants for Bedrooms

​

Create the perfect bedroom oasis by getting the ideal plant that suits your needs. The factors below can help you make the right choice:

Space and Interior Design

Evaluate the size of your bedroom and its layout. Opt for relatively small bedroom plants like the Lemon Button fern if you’re limited in space. Or choose a tall, larger plant as a green centerpiece in a spacious bedroom.

Light Conditions and Temperature

Evaluate the natural light your bedroom receives. Ficus plants thrive in bright, indirect light, while snake plants can endure lower light levels. Consider temperature preferences, ensuring the chosen plants align with your bedroom’s climate. 

Lifestyle and Skill Level

Choose plants that complement your lifestyle and level of skill. For beginners and busy folks, the low-maintenance peace lily or a few cactus plants are an excellent choice. 

Pet-Friendly Considerations

If your furry friends tend to relax in your bedroom, consider pet-friendly varieties that won’t harm your pets. Be it a Chinese money plant or a lucky money tree, we offer a vast choice of plants for pet owners.

Bedroom Plants: Care & Maintenance Guide

​

Nurturing your indoor green companions in the bedroom requires tailored care. Here's a concise guide to keep your bedroom plants thriving:

1. Light Requirements

Place your bedroom plants near windows for adequate sunlight. Choose snake and ZZ plants that can tolerate lower light conditions, common in bedrooms.

2. Watering and Feeding

While bedrooms are often cooler, adjust your watering frequency accordingly. Before watering, check if the soil is dry. Also, feed your plants in the bedroom in the growing season to promote their well-being.

3. Pruning and Cleaning

Don’t forget to clean and trim your bedroom plants. Damaged and yellowing leaves should be removed to avoid wasting the plant’s energy and maintain its good looks. Wipe the leaves to remove dust so your green companions can breathe freely.

4. Repotting and Propagation

Monitor your plant's growth. If roots start peeking out, consider repotting. Some plants, like spider plants, are easy to propagate, offering a chance to expand your indoor garden.

Common Issues and Solutions:

• Underwatering: Check soil moisture regularly and adjust watering accordingly.
• Insufficient light exposure: Rotate plants to ensure all sides receive sunlight and prevent common leaf issues.
• Accidental neglect: It’s easy to forget your bedroom plants’ needs, such as outside watering. Set a reminder for regular feeding, and repot if your plant outgrows its container.

Follow these steps, and your bedroom plants will create a serene and refreshing atmosphere night after night.
