Lavender
Lavender produces a calming effect on the nervous system. It is best known for its ability to reduce anxiety, stress and insomnia. Lavender is a great plant for your bedroom as it can help you sleep better.
Lavender can be used to make a tea, which you can drink before bedtime to induce sleep. If you don’t want to ingest lavender, you can simply inhale the scent from its flowers or leaves.
Grape Ivy
The scientific name for this plant is Senecio rowleyanus. It’s a very easy-to-care-for plant that is great for beginners or those who have had a history of not being able to keep plants alive. It can grow up to 3–6 feet in height and 2 feet wide when left outside, but it can also be used as an indoor houseplant.
These plants are known for their waxy, trailing leaves that remind people of grapes — hence the name “grape ivy.” This plant will grow best in a pot where it can spill over the sides, or you could even hang the plant from your ceiling! You might even notice small white flowers sprouting from the grape ivy during the fall and winter months when they are kept inside.
While this plant is beautiful to look at, keep in mind that grape ivy is toxic to pets if consumed by them. If you have a pet dog or cat, consider keeping your grape ivy out of reach so that there aren’t any accidentals nibbles on your beloved leafy friend!
Snake Plants – Sansevieria
Snake plants are also known as mother-in-law tongue and sansevieria, but no matter what you call them, these plants are excellent for any indoor environment. Snake plants can purify the air by absorbing toxins like formaldehyde and benzene. They are easy to maintain, needing water only once every two weeks. The most important thing to keep in mind before purchasing a snake plant is that they can be toxic to cats and dogs if ingested.
Peperomia Red Edge
Peperomia Red Edge is a small, succulent-like houseplant that is native to South America. It’s a popular variegated variety with purple leaves and red edges.
While it can be toxic to pets and children, it’s low maintenance, making it easy for the rest of us to enjoy! Unlike other varieties of peperomia, this one can thrive in lower light conditions but also grows well in medium light.
Gimme Some Sugar Croton
I’m the Gimme Some Sugar Croton. This common houseplant has a scientific name of Codiaeum Variegatum Pictum, and it’s one of my all-time favorite plants. The plant can be grown indoors or outdoors. If you’re going to grow the plant outside, it’s best to keep the plant in containers or hanging baskets.
The croton prefers bright, indirect light but will tolerate lower light levels if needed. Water when the soil is dry about 1 inch down. This plant isn’t typically affected by too much water, but it will stop growing if kept in standing water for any period of time. The croton is a good choice for removing formaldehyde from air and should allow you to breathe easier during a flare up.
Succulents
The succulent is not just a basic girl’s plant; it’s also a low-maintenance plant for beginners. If you don’t have much luck keeping other plants alive, we recommend you try the succulent. It’s hard to kill—all you need to do is water it once every week or two and make sure it gets enough sunlight. It will only die if you forget about it entirely, which is something that happens more than we’d like to admit.
To keep your succulent happy, place it in a sunny window or space where there is plenty of natural light. Water it as little as possible to keep the soil dry (a good rule of thumb is once every week). If the leaves are shriveling up and losing their color, then your plant needs more water. If the leaves are turning brown and falling off, then your plant has too much water—remedy this by placing your pot on its side while the excess water drains out.
Succulents are just one example of how plants can be mood enhancers; they’re known for increasing productivity and creativity in an office setting, as well as decreasing stress levels and fatigue at home.
Aloe Vera
While aloe vera’s reputation as a medicinal plant precedes it, the succulent itself can make an excellent houseplant. It requires some special attention, though. Plant your aloe vera in well-draining soil, in a pot with a drainage hole. Place it in direct sunlight—aloe vera plants need to be watered every two to three weeks (more often during warm weather), but only when the soil is dry.
Aloe vera plants are best known for their healing properties. Skin irritations and small cuts will benefit from the anti-inflammatory properties of the juice derived from its leaves. Aloe vera has antibacterial properties that can help wounds heal faster and prevent infection or scarring. Its internal use—in gel form or capsules—is not well researched, but is used for reducing inflammation of internal organs, such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease.
However, even if you don’t have any skin issues, having this cheerful plant around can improve both your mood and your air quality by releasing oxygen at night (most plants do this during the day). I would recommend placing it near your bed since it may aid sleep through better air quality and its soothing effects on skin irritations like psoriasis or eczema; just be mindful not to overwater your plant if you’re prone to forgetting things before bedtime!
Golden Pothos (Devil’s Ivy)
The Golden Pothos (Devil’s Ivy) is a popular member of the Araceae family. Its lush green foliage has earned it the nickname “the perfect houseplant”. Its leaves are heart shaped and will grow to about 4 inches wide, but it’s a vigorous grower with stems that can reach up to 20 feet in length.
Golden Pothos needs very little care and is easy to grow indoors. It prefers indirect sunlight, but will do well in low-light conditions. The plant should be watered when the soil is dry. It does best when planted in loose, well-draining soil.
Rubber Plant
- Rubber trees are easy to grow and thrive in bright light, making them a perfect plant for the office or a home with a south-facing window.
- They don’t mind if you miss a watering or two.
Begonia Rex
If you’re looking for a burst of color in a room, look no further than the Rex Begonia. This plant is a hybrid of the Rex Begonia, or painted-leaf begonia. With large green and bronze leaves, it is sure to add some festive flair to your living space while also boosting your mood.
Although they are native to tropical forests, Rex Begonias do well indoors with proper care. These plants can tolerate low light but prefer bright indirect light and high humidity (which makes them perfect for bathrooms).
English Ivy
English ivy has been a godsend for me. It’s been my best friend as well as the provider of much joy in my life. With its beautiful evergreen foliage, its ability to cling to walls and ceilings and get transplanted into new homes, it’s easy to see why it was listed by the National Gardening Association in 2013 as one of their “Top 10 Houseplants for Your Indoor Garden”.
I started growing it indoors not too long after I moved into my first home (which is where I wrote this blog post). My sister gave me a small plant as a housewarming gift, but when I got it home, I wasn’t sure what to do with it since we have pets. After some advice from our landlord (who had also seen an interview about how plants can reduce stress), I planted the ivy in a pot and placed it on my windowsill (because at least someone had suggested that). The next morning, my new housemate of two months—the cat—was sitting on top of him! It did not take long before he became more comfortable with his surroundings, and eventually he took up residence on my desk while he waited for me while I was studying or working. Thankfully we have stopped fighting over him…
Geraniums and Pelargoniums
- Geraniums and Pelargoniums
These common indoor plants are known to help you sleep better by removing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen, as well as by absorbing pollutants that can be released in the air. They’re also commonly called “The Snore Plant” because they can reduce snoring (by purifying the air we breathe). Geraniums, or pelargoniums, have long been used to treat anxiety and depression. In fact, one study found that those who spent an hour with geranium plants had significantly lower blood pressure levels than those who spent an hour with no plants or artificial flowers. If you want a good indoor plant to have in your bedroom, this is it!
African Violets
- Plant type: Flowering plant
- Height: Up to 40 cm
- Light: Bright, indirect light
- Water: Keep soil moist
- Soil: Regular potting soil
- Humidity: High
- Temperature: 16-22 °C
Jasmine Plant
Jasmine is an evergreen flowering plant, and it is available in both indoor and outdoor varieties. This plant is native to tropical areas of the world and can be found in warm climates from Europe to Southeast Asia. Its blooms are known for their intoxicating fragrance and beautiful white flowers. The leaves on indoor jasmine plants are glossy, dark green, and oval-shaped which contrasts nicely with the long, wiry stems that support the flowers.
Jasmine plants require plenty of light but not direct sunlight. Keep them in a room that receives at least 6 hours of indirect light each day or place them near a south facing window if you live in a climate that allows you to grow these indoors year ’round (or they may die). If your jasmine starts getting leggy with long stems between leaves then move it somewhere brighter right away because this will slow growth down considerably!
In addition to regular waterings every two weeks during its growth phase (spring through fall), jasmine needs some humidity so mist regularly or use a humidifier near your plant if possible (you can also grow these outside where they’ll get adequate moisture naturally). For more information on how often they should be watered please check out our complete guide here: https://www.careforyourhouseplant.com/indoor-plants/watering-regularly/.
If you’re looking for an easy way to improve your mood, look no further than this gorgeous flower! It’s been proven by scientific studies that smelling the scent from one bloom – like what would happen when someone else walks into a room where there’s been recently opened blossoms nearby – makes people feel happier than if they had just walked past another person who was wearing perfume or cologne (but not much better) because certain chemicals called terpenes have anti-depressant properties too so sniffing those molecules might help lift your spirits even further!”
