Sometimes you wish you had lots of plants in your home, but the space you have may be limited. What if we told you that there is a way to have more plants? We are talking about small indoor plants, which allow you to have a greater number of them in the same space and therefore to enjoy them more.
But, which plants would be the most suitable? Which ones do not grow too much and allow you to have several? We select those we deem the best.
echeveria
Note that echeverias (because there are many different ones) are outdoor plants. But if you live in a home where you have good lighting and several hours of direct sunlight, you might consider having them in that part of the house. In fact, getting a few hours of light is more than enough (hours of direct sunlight).
However, we do not recommend that you choose species of echeverias that are difficult or that require special care, which can be difficult to maintain when you have them indoors.
Also as They tend to grow relatively fast. You can always propagate them and place them on the terrace or similar and have a small piece of them inside the house.
Cactus
With cacti, something similar happens to echeverias. In other words, they need direct sun, but if you provide them with a few hours of sunlight and the rest of indirect light, they will be fine. There’s a wide variety to choose from, so our advice is to look for ones that do well indoors and even in partial or full shade (which they do).
One that we can recommend, due to its beauty in itself, is the mamilaria cactus, which is small and made up of cylindrical, globose stems which are covered with a thin white layer, seeming snowy. In addition, it blooms with small pink flowers.
spacer
If you are one of those people who prefers a plant that is not a cactus or a succulent, then one that fits very well insideand which generally does not grow too much, is the spatophyllum.
It is a plant with green leaves, which in spring and summer, sometimes even in autumn and winter, will give you white flowers.
This, yes, It is important that you provide a good amount of light, which has good irrigation and if possible a temperature between 20 and 22 degrees.
Now, if you have pets and they tend to “attack” plants, you should think about it, because it’s poisonous.
wood sorrel
The oxalis plant has been in fashion for a few years, and it is not for less. Called “the butterfly plant” because the leaves it has (which are not the flowers) resemble the wings of a butterfly.
At the moment, in stores, you can not only find purple wood sorrels, but we already have variegated ones, in the form of clovers, etc.
Although these are plants that need sun, They can be indoors if you give them several hours of light (the flowers point towards the rays of the sun). In addition, it spreads very easily and the care it needs is not too much.
With a little luck, you will also be able to make it bloom. Although these go a bit unnoticed due to the color of the leaves.
As for its size, we will tell you that It does not grow much, but it multiplies very quickly.either in its pot or in those around it.
Sansevieria
The sansevieria is one of the plants that NASA recommends to have at home because it is the most purifying that exists, even being able to have it in the room and supply you with oxygen.
But it is also that it is one of the small indoor plants that you can have in any corner and you will hardly have to worry about it. It doesn’t need a lot of watering, nor a lot of sun… An all-rounder that you can consider!
Aquatic Pachira
In the small indoor plants we want to introduce this because although you can find it in different sizes, the truth is that in the smallest It is not a plant that grows very quicklyRather quite the opposite.
Besides, it will hardly need to be watered (something more than the previous one, yes) and that it is in a bright room will suffice (direct sun will burn it easily).
In return, you will feel like you have a palm tree at home.
Orchid
Orchids are a classic in the interior of the house, but one that makes it light up the whole room with its beautiful colors. If you also take good care of them, they can last you for years and years (to the point of keeping the flowers even for a year).
Of course, even though they say they don’t need the sun, an hour or two a day works wonders on these plants and you’ll make them much more active.
Take a good look at orchid care to see all you have to provide because they are a bit tricky depending on the things.
Syngonium
In this case We are talking about a houseplant that is usually not the usual, but that one could say that they are like pothos. Also, in some species, such as variegatas, they will have nothing to envy to monsteras variegata or other plants (and they are much cheaper than these).
They are climbing plants, but not by themselves. They need you to put a guardian to activate them and keep growing. So if you don’t put it on, they won’t grow much (because they slow down).
They are very pretty and take up very little space. Moreover, you can also hang and cascade them.
african violet
If you are one of those who prefers small indoor plants, but with flowers, this is one of the best you can have. It has become trendy for about a year and the best thing is that you can find some with one color flowers, but there are others with two color flowers.
Apart from the shops you also have varieties of this violet that are even more beautiful. So it will be easy to get one and have it at home. Especially if you are told that it barely takes up space and does not grow much.
As you can see, there are many small indoor plants you can consider for your home. Each has its pros and cons, but some will surely help you decorate your home with something green. Would you like to cheer up with any? Do you have one that you would like to recommend? We read you in the comments.
