6 Trendy Houseplants to Add to Your Collection

Having a home with a fun interior can make all the difference to you. Your mood can instantly be brought up if you’ve had a long day at work. One of the easiest ways to add more to your home’s interior is by adding houseplants. Being able to feel like you can immerse yourself in nature from the comfort of your own home is an amazing feeling. You can also feel like you’re taking care of something, should an animal or human person feel like too much. Houseplants are also a great way to spruce up an apartment or space you rent, if you don’t have control over what goes outdoors. Here’s a list of the six best houseplants you can get that are still trendy.

Cactus

If you’re looking for your first houseplant and are nervous about being able to keep up with watering it and remembering it, a great way to start is a cactus. These houseplants are smaller compared to most, so you won’t feel like it’s taking over. You also don’t have to worry about watering them as much as other houseplants. The typical cactus only needs a max of half a cup of water every other week. With how busy society is working and trying to live life, a cactus is the perfect plant to complete your home that won’t require much attention.

Pothos

Another trendy houseplant you don’t have to worry about watering all the time is a pothos. These plants are naturally already green and will spice up any room they’re put in. When checking the water levels, you want to ensure the soil in the pot is dry before putting in more water. Giving it too much will cause the plant to drown in itself. In the meantime, you can spray the plant every so often. One spray a day is all it takes. These plants go perfectly on the counter or next to the television, wherever you prefer.

Areca Palm

If you’re looking to test yourself for upkeep, but not too much, the areca palm is the perfect plant for you. During the summer, it’s advised to water this plant once a week, with it going up to every ten days during the cooler months. This plant looks like it came straight from the rainforest. The plant shoots up and blossoms so perfectly. The best part about when it gets to the biggest height is you can put it outside on your balcony or patio. The areca palm is the perfect plant to add to your list.

Snake Plant

A snake plant is the perfect trendy houseplant to add to your home that will jump wherever you put it. The leaves on this plant are a deep green, and it’s yellow tint makes it hard to miss. These plants are small enough so they won’t overpower a room or take it over. You also don’t have to worry about watering these plants, as they only require it every two weeks. Adding a snake plant will give your home the lush feeling you might be looking for.

Pilea

The deep green plant theme continues as the pilea is the next plant you should consider adding to your home. The pilea requires a little more attention than other plants, since you’ll need to water it every week. Before you do, make sure the soil is dry so the plant doesn’t drown. This plant needs its own space to sprawl out and flourish. They can get pretty big since they don’t stop growing, but you’re able to put them outside still.

Aloe Vera

There aren’t many better houseplants to have than ones that can actually be useful to you. You’ll need to do a lot of upkeep on this plant, but it’s worth it. The plant requires at least one watering session per week, maybe more depending on the climate you’re in. However, the benefits of having natural aloe vera are truly second to none. During the summer, if you get burnt, there’s nothing more refreshing than natural aloe vera. If you have a bug bite, aloe vera comes to the rescue to comfort you. If you want to add something to your food or drink, it’s safe to drink the gel. There are tons of benefits of aloe vera and growing your own at home should be something you do.
