Plants That Like Indirect Light

The plants in this section thrive in good light – as long as it’s not direct sunshine. Whatever your home environment is, choose plants based on the atmosphere you’d like to live in. Their environmental needs are important, but they’re more robust than you think, and your requirements matter too! If your plant cannot cope with a particular space, it will show, and it’s time to move it elsewhere.

One of our all-time favourites is the Boston Fern. It’s got lush green leaves sprouting from its pot, giving it that jungle look. As one of the best air purifying plants we know, this plant brings good looks as well as benefits for your wellbeing. It’s considered to be safe for cats and dogs.

Bring some positive energy and good fortune into your home with a Money Tree. According to Chinese mythology, the Money Tree is a lucky plant to have. Unfortunately, we can’t guarantee that the plant will make you rich, but we can promise you it’ll catch any visitor’s eye when they come in. This no-fuss plant can cope with different light levels, giving you a lot of flexibility for your interior.

Plants as an Act of Self-Care

Creating a home that makes you happy can, and should, be a fun exercise! Especially once you get plants involved, and you can really create a space to thrive in. Houseplants are more than just beautiful décor. They can also be beneficial for your mental and physical health. We’ll give you a short intro here but check out our Blog if you’re keen to learn more.

Caring for a dog is very rewarding. Sure, it’s not always an easy feat, but it’s a lot of fun! Looking after a dog helps foster and satisfy your innate drive to nurture other living things. And we believe that plants can help foster that energy too! As you’re engaging in these acts of kindness, you get reminded of how great it feels, and you’ll branch out being kinder to yourself and others too!

In terms of our wellbeing philosophy, Calatheas are truly impressive. Besides being great air purifiers, the patterns on their leaves are also said to help improve focus and inspire creativity. These bewitching patterns can help restore our attention and ease minds frazzled by screens and monitors. One with said pattern is the Calathea Orbifolia, a tall floor plant, which works perfectly in any warm room with indirect light.

As plants absorb CO2, they can also filter out invisible airborne toxins. A particularly talented air purifier is the Areca Palm, also called Butterfly Palm. By caring for this low-maintenance plant, you can (indirectly) improve the quality of air in your home.
