On more than one occasion, a clueless reader has written me, confused by the title of this blog, believing that it was a greenhouse or a gardening blog. It makes me very funny because I think it is quite clear, because of the content and design of the blog, that it is a space dedicated to creativity. Do not you think? I hope then not to confuse them even more because today we are going to talk about plants. In particular, of indoor plants. How we can use them to decorate our home with a Do It Yourself touch.
I am not a plant specialist, but I think they are a fantastic decorative element for my new home and the Internet is a world full of wisdom. Therefore, to write the post I will help with Indoor plant decor that make you travel from your home.
For the bedroom the sweet smell of jasmine
A natural air freshener that transports us to the other side of the world. The jasmine flowers will open at night so you can go to bed rocked by its delicious fragrance.
For such a delicate and unique Indoor plant decor, I propose a hanging pot made with trapillo that adds even more class to the beautiful jasmine flowers. The jasmine branches will fall around the flowerpot giving the space a very exotic touch.
This project of Dr Living Home, even being very similar to the trapillo hanger that I made some time ago, adds the wooden hoops giving it a much more unique aspect. It is such a simple project that even children can do it.
How to take care of it: The jasmine needs indirect sunlight, weekly water and temperatures between 15 and 30º.
The ferns in the salon
In the living room, which is usually the most spacious area of the house, an imposing fern will bring warmth and harmony to your living room. You can hang it, put it on the floor or even on a piece of furniture. This thousand-year-old plant gives us a lot of play.
Planters-of-cement
For the fern, I have chosen a strong, resistant and very stylish planter. A cement pot. If you have noticed, they are very fashionable and you can do them at home. Do not be scared, you will not need a concrete mixer. At Decorating Studio, they teach us to create them in a very simple way in step by step. The best thing is that you can make them at the right size you need and if you want, customize them with a touch of paint.
How to take care of it: The fern needs indirect sunlight; water it once a week in summer and twice a week in cold periods.
Aromatic herbs in the kitchen
Perhaps many of your houses, including mine, are too small to have an orchard. However, in many of has a small greenhouse in where you have to selection of aromatic herbs with which to flavor your dishes.
What a pleasure it is to have some fresh parsley or mint just when you need it … As an idea, you can plant parsley, thyme, lemon thyme, basil, dill, mint, rosemary … and put them inside a mini greenhouse.
At this time, I do not tell you how to take care of them. According to the species you choose, learn about the care you need so that you have fresh aromatic herbs throughout the year.
A palm of bamboo in the hall
Did you know that this plant is considered by NASA as one of the most power purification of the air get.? Yes, yes … it’s not nonsense plants. Putting a bamboo palm will help you rid your house of bad toxins.
The bamboo palms can be very small and if you take good care of them, they become really big. Therefore, you can start with a small pot and change it, as you need it.
For this plant, I propose a project of The Proper Blog in which you personalize a pot with geometric shapes and paintings of different textures. Follow his steps to create your own designs.
How to take care of them: This plant needs direct and indirect light and must be between 21º and 29º. Make sure you always have moist soil.
Cactus, cactus everywhere
Many of says that cactus are in fashion but I think they never stopped beingIndoor plant decor. I remember that when I was a little, they were selling tiny cacti and I had several of them at home. Now they are the only plant that manages to survive in my hands. Maybe, that is why, because of their resistance, they are so popular.
What is your favorite cactus? I love the succulents they are so pretty! However, there is cactus for all tastes and for all corners. The biggest can decorate the balcony, some small the desk, give a green touch to a shelf or a table …
I have seen hundreds of projects of DIY flowerpots for cactus to each one more beautiful, and I have selected one of the ones that I have liked the most. This project of The Lovely Drawer made with rope.
How to take care of them: Each of them has specific needs, but in general the cactus need a lot of light and little water. Do not drown them. As they know each other!
