Having your home filled with plants is the new trendy aesthetic to strive for. However, it is easier said than done keeping a house full of plants alive, especially as a working professional.
We have compiled a list of 5 hacks to easily and beautifully fill your home or room with plants.
1. Try a cacti
As a new plant owner, these little suckers are the best first port of call. They are used to living in harsh conditions such as high temperatures with little hydration, therefore they will be the perfect low maintenance plant to start your growing indoor garden. Try starting with an Echeveria or Agave, as they will fill your home with cool green tones, whilst needing almost zero maintenance.
2. Grow your own indoor kitchen garden
An easy way to bring some greenery into your kitchen is to set up an area of a few pots filled with either mint, chillies, or basil. They are pretty easy to keep going as they only need to be watered every few days, with a nice light spot in your kitchen window.
