How to choose houseplants for your home or work?

When you set out to decorate your home or workspace with plants, the possibilities are endless! There are thousands of houseplants to choose from, all in different shapes and sizes. It can be difficult to find your way around so many options, so here are a few tips that can help you choose the perfect plants for you.

1. Our lifestyle

Each plant species requires different care. We must take into account our lifestyle when choosing one or another. If we are people with a lot of work, many commitments or who tend to be away from home during the day, the best plants for us will be those that require less care, such as: the Zamioculcathe Sanseviera or the Euphorbias.

2. Level of experience with plants

Another factor to take into account is your level of experience when it comes to caring for plants. If you are a beginner, it is best not to complicate your life with delicate plants! Your best allies will be strong plants that can survive anywhere and don't require a lot of care. Some examples are: the maranta or the Zamioculca.

3. Light

Every plant needs light to survive. But not all plants need the same amount or type of light. There are three types of light: direct, indirect and low light. When choosing your plants you must take into account what type of light enters your home in order to choose plants that are suitable for it. Light is a fundamental factor when choosing your plants, we must not forget about it!

4. Size

The size of the plants is relevant too! It can make a space look too full or too empty and incomplete. If we want to decorate a place with a lot of furniture, the best thing to do is to place small plants so that it does not look too full and overloaded. On the other hand, if we have a large and empty space, the best option will be to place large and bulky plants.

5. Pets

If you have a pet, you must take into account that some plants are toxic for them! The best thing to do (in case they are toxic) is to place the plants in places that are unreachable for them.
