What\u2019s more, having plants inside your house has multiple benefits as well, including reducing the levels of certain pollutants and reducing stress levels.<\/p>\n<p>If you love the idea of plants inside your home as a new homeowner, here is a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.seattletimes.com\/life\/lifestyle\/hard-to-kill-indoor-plants-for-the-inept\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">list of some great houseplants <\/a>that are both pretty to look at and easy to grow.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Succulents<\/strong><br \/>\nThere are dozens of different types of succulents, the vast majority of which are easy to keep indoors (and keep alive) because they don\u2019t require much. Succulents are best grown in an area with sunlight, so consider keeping yours near the window. Some of the top succulents that can spruce up your home include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Agave<\/li>\n<li>Aloe<\/li>\n<li>Crassula<\/li>\n<li>Echeveria<\/li>\n<li>Sedum<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Pothos<\/strong><br \/>\nOne of the easiest plants to grow indoors is pothos, as it does well at room temperature and can thrive in different lighting situations. The Pothos plant has some other cool benefits too, such as the fact that it has an ability to purify and strip toxins from the air.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/hayden-homes.com.wordpress.or\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/spider-plant-in-water-400x266.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-11479 size-thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/hayden-homes.com.wordpress.or\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/spider-plant-in-water-400x266-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Spider Plant inside the home\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a>Spider Plants<\/strong><br \/>\nJust like pothos, spider plants can do well in a variety of different lighting conditions. It is important to make sure indoor temperatures stay above 60 degrees Fahrenheit in order to keep this plant alive \u2013 other than that, they don\u2019t require a lot of care. Spider plants have an interesting look, and work as an instant decorating piece.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Philodendron<\/strong><br \/>\nPhilodendrons are standard indoor house plants, thriving year-round without too much effort. If you want to move this plant outdoors when the weather isn\u2019t too cold, philodendrons don\u2019t get too stressed moving in and out. Sunlight for these plants should be bright, but indirect, and the plant only needs to be watered every few days or so (once the top layer of soil dries out, water again). These plants resemble pothos plants in both color and care.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/hayden-homes.com.wordpress.or\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/violet.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-11481 size-thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/hayden-homes.com.wordpress.or\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/violet-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"African Violet\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a>African Violets<\/strong><br \/>\nAll of the plant types listed above are leafy, but not flowery. If you want a flowering plant to add a little color to your home, consider the African violet. African violets bloom in deep purple, white, pink, and lavender, and bloom year-round. These plants like low, filtered sunlight and warmth. Water every few days, allowing the top layer of soil to dry before re-watering.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Peace Lily<\/strong><br \/>\nAnother flowering plant that is quite elegant is the peace lily. The flower is very low-maintenance, thriving in low-light and cooler temperatures (perfect for the northwest). This type of flower is one of the easiest to grow indoors throughout the year.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Freshen up your home!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Plants in the home are not only decorative, but they also provide a sense of calm and tranquility. If you\u2019re thinking about adding plants to your new Simplicity home, be sure to consider the ones above.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While growing plants in your yard is a must, allowing for greenery, shade, beautiful flowers, and yummy vegetables and herbs, not all plants can grow year-round in the&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":23,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[17,9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9398","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-home-organization","category-interior-design"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.5 -
