House Plant FAQS

• Which plant is good for the bedroom?

  For bedrooms, you may want to opt for an indoor plant that releases oxygen at night and purifies the air. For example, Aloe Vera is a great succulent for your sleeping time as it is easy to care for and has immense benefits. Peace Lillies also release oxygen at night. 

  For aesthetic reasons, just choose the house plant that matches your taste and bedroom style. Got space for a larger plant on the floor, or want to decorate with adesk plant? It’s up to you!

• Do plants help with dust?

  Yes! Incredibly, plants can help reduce dust in a room. Dust particles are removed from the air by being wrapped on the leaves. Plants aren't immune though, so make sure you dust them every now and again to keep them in great condition.

• Can you have plants in a room without windows?

  You should avoid putting plants in rooms without windows as plants get their food and energy from sunlight. However, some plants need less sunlight than others, so you can place some species in darker rooms – just make sure they get some sort of sunlight throughout the day.

• How often to water house plants?

  Depending on the variety of indoor plant you have, you may find that it requires less or more watering than usual. For example, it's well known that Cacti can happily thrive with less water than other plants due to their moisture hoarding properties. However, this is not the case for all plants and generally, watering is where a lot of house plant owners go wrong.

  As a rule of thumb (literally), your potting soil should be kept moist but not wet. To test this, gently press your thumb into the potting soil to check its moisture level. If the soil is too dry, give your plant some water. Due to weather temperatures, you'll find that your house plant will require more water in spring/summer and less watering in autumn/winter. 

  Below are some plant varieties that will need extra special care when it comes to watering:

  • Orchids - water once a week with a little amount of water.
  • Cirtus - water frequently and on a more regular basis than other house plants.
  • Succulents & Cacti - minimal watering required, water when the soil has dried out.
