Gain Houseplant Knowledge

It is good to know your houseplants. You need to understand their growth patterns and the care needed to grow them.

Position and Placement

The most common mistake while introducing houseplants is not experimenting enough with placements. For instance, introduce plants as showpieces for islands or living rooms or even hanging plants by the ceiling. Larger plants can be placed on the floor. Medium to small-sized plants can go on the bookshelf, a Center table, a cent or a tall rack in the living room. You can introduce smaller plants like succulents or cactuses on your table, in the study.

Grooming your Plant

Plant grooming is necessary especially when the plants are an aesthetic part of your interior. By grooming we mean, cutting, shaping if required and timely use of necessary fertilizers. Your houseplants need to have a healthy growth to look aesthetically pleasing. If not groomed well, unmanaged houseplants can give a lousy look to your interiors.

Using the Right Planters

Ensure the color, texture or material of the planter suit the theme of your interiors. Material plays a major role because when the plant grows in size. The maintenance becomes difficult if the planter is not of durable quality. It should not be too heavy or large or it can make cleaning difficult and the plant unmanageable. If the plant requires a large planter, it should be placed in a manner that you don’t have to move it too often. And lastly, if you are forgetful of watering your plants, you can get self-watering planters to help make your job easy.

If you’re looking for a no-fuss way to spruce up your home, adding a few plants is one of the easiest ways to do just that. You should be able to find one or two low-maintenance plants indoor that will thrive in your home. But if you’re like most people and need something low-maintenance plants, these plants are perfect for you.

Seems like a lot? It’s not really. It hardly requires ten to fifteen minutes daily. Not to mention, taking care of plants is meditative. And having plants in your home only makes the home environment naturally refreshing and positive. It’s definitely a considerable choice towards green living and an easy one at that!

It is known for the fact that it will bring you closer to nature. Read our blog to know everything about this trend and how to incorporate ‘Biophilia’ in your home.

Biophilic Design aka organic architecture is a concept used to incorporate actual nature or elements of nature into your home design or architecture. The concept has gained popularity in the previous year and continues to go headstrong in 2022 with more innovation and more people being aware and willing to practice it. The central idea of the concept is to increase human connection to nature and everything organic.

All of these combined with an aesthetic appeal will bring Biophilia in your home. It is all about finding a balance and harmony between human civilization and nature. Biophilic architecture is the design of buildings and other human-made environments to mimic nature, and may promote well-being, health, and healing. After all, Biophilia literally means love for nature. You can take the following simple steps to bring it into your home or office space.

Using natural light and surroundings

One of the primmest rules of biophilic design is, letting in natural light. So keeping windows clean, transparent and unobstructed is key. It increases your scope to connect with nature. You can be connected to the nature outside even by being indoor.

Bringing the greens indoor for Biophilia

Another one is, bringing indoor plants into the decor. Introduce plants as centerpieces for islands or living rooms or you can even hang plants by the ceiling. We know, that to bring plants indoors is a big responsibility for people who have kids and pets. But you can baby-proof or pet-proof by putting your greens out of infant accessibility and hoping your pet is indifferent if not loving to the idea of plants indoors!

Over-sized plants are the season’s favorite trend. So, you can experiment Biophilia with that if you are okay to risk with maximal elements in home decor.

Small efforts bigger impact

Vertical gardens for your foyer or office entrance are also a great way to create emphasis in the area. It can be as simple as bringing plants indoor as part of your decor or designing a garden space in your empty terrace area or even planting a kitchen garden. Adding succulents and quirky planters all over the house can add a biophilic character and freshness in your decor.

Adding natural colours and textures

An impressive way to up your nature-friendly biophilic decor game is to choose colors that are close to nature. These have calming effects, like greens and blues. The idea is to keep it fresh without too much effort. Textures that are earthy are always a great way to turn what is plain into distinct. For example, you can add a woody texture into the walls by adding some wood dust into the mix, with your interior designer’s help of course! You can even opt for a less intense method by adding textured wallpapers or even printed ones that signify your love for nature. Another great way to add earthy tones and textures is targeting the upholstery of your furniture and even pillow covers, bedspreads, curtains and duvets.
