Garden Spot House Plants

Calathea, also known as Rattlesnake plant, is among the most beautiful houseplants. It has pleasing colored and patterned foliage. Leaves are upright, boldly marked with the zebra-like pattern of vivid colors such as green and yellow green on the upper surface and green and light purple or red on the lower surface. This plant purifies the air and is super-easy to grow. It likes a bright spot in your home, but not in the sun. Keep soil moist, not saturated.

Peperomia Rossii

Grow peperomia in a medium or bright spot to keep the plant happiest. They can tolerate low light, but may not thrive as well and the foliage may not be as interesting.

Water peperomia when the soil feels dry to the touch. Many varieties of this small houseplant can effectively hold water in their fleshy stems and leaves during times of drought, which makes them a great houseplant for busy plant parents.

You don't really need to fertilize peperomias, but you can if you'd like these easy-to-grow houseplants to grow a little faster. Use any fertilizer made for indoor plants and follow the directions on the packaging.

Dieffenbachia prefers diffused sunlight or partial shade, but will tolerate full shade, which is why it is well-suited as a houseplant. It thrives in temperatures between 60 and 75°F. Your dieffenbachia should be watered regularly, with soil being allowed to dry between waterings. It can be planted in any good quality, well-drained potting media and should be repotted as needed to allow for best growth. To encourage even growth, rotate your plant often.

Sansevieria, more well known as “Snake plant” or “Mother-in-law’s tongue”. Their leaves are stiff, very thick and grows vertically forming dense upright stands. It grows well in bright light but can sustain in low light levels as well. This is one of the easiest houseplants to grow. Grows well with light watering and will even forgive you for letting it dry out over a long three day weekend.

With their thick, woody stems and oval-shaped leaves, jade plants have a miniature tree-like appearance that makes them very appealing for use as a decorative houseplant. They live for a very long time, often being passed down from generation to generation
