When you embellish your interior with plants, you don’t just make it greener. Plants are the living organisms that interact with your body, soul, and mind, making them healthy.
Plants have the magical power to bring energy and positivity to our lives. They improve the quality of our life and bring natural happiness to our soul.
That’s why it makes sense to have houseplants as your mandatory decor element.

Bright and indirect sunlight is good for plants. However, you should be careful about watering. Follow the ‘drench and dry” approach. Water your plants thoroughly and let the soil dry out, along with weekly misting.
The round leaves create a dramatic impression. So keep the pot simple!
2. Coffee Plant

Get a small Arabica coffee plant that won’t cover your coffee habit.
But coffee plants look gorgeous. Top of that, these plants are simple to take care of.
These plants will give you enough beans once in a while to roast and brew your freshest cup of coffee.
In case, they get too dry; you will see super droopy leaves, which go back to normal after a good watering.
3. Crocodile Fern

Though green is the ‘king’ when it comes to colours close to nature, you can still throw in contrasts with colours other than green. Calathea and its red-green leaves come in rattlesnake and medallion varieties.
These plants are very picky about water and sunlight. They require weekly watering, and their brightness requirements are medium and indirect.
5. Fiddle Leaf Fig

Take proper care of your plants, and they will take care of your health to pay off.
