Houseplants are having a moment, and it seems we can’t get enough of greenery! From succulents to exotic orchids and everything in between, plants literally bring our homes to life. They improve air quality, add texture and color to our spaces. They also bring the relaxation and peacfullness of nature indoors. This trend shows no sign of dying down in 2022, so our team of cash property buyers in Fort Worth have curated a list of the best houseplants and tips on how to care for them.
ZZ plants
Also called Zanzibar Gems, these are some of the lowest maintenance, unkillable indoor plants on the market. This makes them great for beginners! They have a very pristine and structural appearance with waxy, upward-facing leaves that range in color from green to a deep purple black. They grow very slowly, and need low to bright indirect light (no direct sunshine). All you need to do is water them once every week or two when the soil is dry, and apply a very weak solution of liquid fertilizer once in the spring.
Hoya
Originating from Southern India and Eastern Asia, hoya are tropical vine plants that come in a wide range of varieties. You can find variegated leaf hoyas, hoyas with pink stripes leaves, and the traditional deep green vine. Their beautiful clusters of pink, red, and white blooms make them one of the best houseplants for adding color to your home. They need medium to bright indirect light (no direct sunlight), and regular humidity. Only water your hoya when the soil becomes dry and the leaves pucker slightly.
Prayer plants
Another low maintenance tropical plant is the prayer plant! It got its name because the leaves lie flat in the day but fold up together like praying hands at night. It’s easy to care for and needs little maintenance, making it one of the best houseplants for beginners. They are slow growers and have beautiful decorative leaves in deep or lime green, tricolor, creamy white and pink. They like warm, humid air, indirect light, and a diluted dose of liquid fertilizer every two months.
Vanilla orchid
This is the famous vanilla plant that produces the pods so beloved by bakers everywhere! It’s a surprisingly easy house plant and incredibly rewarding and lovely to own when you get it right. Native to tropical Africa, Mexico, and Belize, it grows exceptionally quickly and produces pretty cream-colored blooms. It’s a vine, so it needs space and structure to grow upwards. Place it in an area with bright indirect light (no direct sunshine) and where it is relatively warm and humid. Feed with a highly diluted liquid fertilizer every week through spring and summer.
Aloe vera
Spikey, architectural, and easy to grow, the aloe vera is one of the best houseplants for beginners and advanced growers. They need bright indirect light (no direct sunshine), minimal water (once every two weeks, and tolerates poor soil quality. It’s best to give it a weak dose of liquid fertilizer just once in spring. The gel inside the leaves is traditionally used for soothing burns and reducing scarring, as well as treating acne. It will also produce striking red, orange, or yellow flowers in the summer once it is four years old.
Philodendron
These softly draping vines were a favorite last year, seen hanging off shelves and over baskets in homes around the country. With their pretty leaves that come in a variety of greens, oranges, and creams, it’s popular for its good looks and easy maintenance. It thrives in low or bright indirect light and needs to dry out between watering. They also require weak dose of liquid fertilizer just once in spring and again in summer.
Tillandsia Ionantha
These are epiphytic, which means they absorb water and nutrients through the environment around them, not through the soil. It’s why they are also called air plants because they often live on trees and shrubs. These air plants have a beautiful purple and pink flower after they reach about 3 years old. They look great in glass vases, gently tied to branches or twig wreaths with some florist wire and sphagnum moss or tucked into a clean seashell. They like bright indirect light and humidity as well as good air circulation, so be sure to mist them regularly or place them in your bathroom.
