Hello Plantlover,
Today I want to introduce you to some plats that are easy to handle. I hope this will help you to choose the right ones and prevents you from killing your first green friends.🌱
First one that is almost unassuming is the Sansevieria. There are some different types that mostly differ from their colors and leaves.
Whereas the Sansevieria has thin leaves that can grow up to a height of 1,2m and a width of 50cm
the Sansevieria cylindrica has cylindrical leaves of a height from 60cm - 150cm and a diameter of 2-3 cm.
🌡 Both of them need a temperature between 10°C and 26° and are ok with dry or drafty air.
🌤 They love much indirect light but are also ok with less light. If its too dark they can loose their variegation and turn back to green only.
💦 Water when soil is dryed out. They don't need much water.
🤓 Fertilize once in a month in spring and summer and plant them in a heavy pot to prevent them from falling over when they get bigger. Don't hurt the top of the leaves. Otherwise they will stop growing. They only need to be repotted if the roots come out through the bottom of the pot.
The Monstera deliciosa is one of the most popular plants. Almost everyone knows the big slitted leaves. But don't worry if the small ones, the baby leaves just come out as a heart shaped whole leaf, that's normal.
Monsteras are little monkeys. If you support them with something they can climb up they can grow up to a number of meters. Therefore you should always plan with a little bit more space.
🌡 Monsteras love temperatures between 18°C and 24°C. They also tolerate temperatures down to 10°C but they won't grow anymore if they fall under 18°C.
🌤 They need much indirect light because direct sunlight would burn the leaves. The best place is 1-2m from the window.
💦 Water when the top of the soil (3-5cm) is dry.
🤓 Clean the leaves from dust regularly so the plant is provided with more light and slits her leaves. Don't hurt he aerial roots. Misting the leaves will help to produce new leaves faster.
Howes forsteriana and Dypsis lutescens are both types of palm trees and is used as indoor plat since the 19th century. They can reach a height of 3m and a width of 1m.
🌡 Both of them love temperatures between 18°C and 24°C. They also tolerate temperatures down to 12°C but it shouldn't sink lower.
🌤 They need much light but the leaves can also be burnt by to much direct sunlight.
💦 Needs more water. I personally water mine like every 2 weeks and afterwards let the soil dry out a little bit.
🤓 These plants love high air humidity. You can give them a tepid shower or place other plants next to it. Misting and cleaning the leaves from dust will also make you friends.
The Crassula ovata is a type of succulent that can grow up to a height of 1m and people say that it is bringing happiness to their owners.
🌡 She grows the best with temperatures between 18°C and 24°C. In winter she tolerates temperatures down to 10°C.
☀️ The Crassula ovata loves much and direct sunlight.
💦 Its better to water less than more. Let the soil dry out before watering again.
🤓 Needs a heavy pot that prevents her from falling over. The new leaves get wizened if it needs water. And they turn yellow you water too much.
