From the beginner to the absent-minded: which plant is ideal for which type of person

It doesn’t matter if you are a plant parent or if you can’t leave anything alive in the pots: we have prepared a guide for anyone to make the house greener

With the growing variety of plants and flowers, choosing the ideal species to grow indoors can be a difficult task. Even more so if you’re part of the team that can’t keep anything alive for a long time (or has a mini jungle at home). thinking about it, Luiz Roberto Lisbonbiologist and Cobasi specialist, has compiled a list of flowers and plants that can be the ideal match for different caregiver profiles.

Plants for mother plants and fathers (those who know and love to take care of them)

Ficus lyrata: great choice for indoors. It looks impressive with its large violin-shaped leaves – a majestic plant that will add a tropical and elegant touch to any decor.

Hydrangea: plant that prefers outdoor environments and which flowers in a variety of bright colors such as pink, blue, purple and white. Plus, it’s a long-lasting species that looks good in any garden.

May flower: indoor plant, easily recognizable by its colorful flowering, usually in red, pink, orange and yellow. For those who prefer low maintenance indoor plants, this is a great choice. Its flowers last for weeks and require simpler care.

For those who live in small apartments

Lucky Bamboo: very suitable for small rooms, as it is compact and grows vertically, taking up little space. Lucky bamboo is also easy to care for as it doesn’t require much water or direct sunlight and is a decorative plant that can add a touch of serenity and harmony to a room.

Violets: classic option for apartments because they are small and compact, as well as have a wide variety of colors and flowers. They can easily be grown in pots and take up little space, but add a touch of color and cheerfulness to the environment. Not to mention they are low maintenance plants and can flower all year round.

Tillandsias: another low maintenance plant as it requires only a little moisture, making it a practical choice for those short on space and time. It’s also super versatile: it can be hung on walls, windows or other less predictable places.

For those who have a garden or large outdoor spaces at home

Roses, hibiscus, ixora and azaleas: these are perennial plants, which bloom every year, with flowers of different shapes and colors. In general, they adapt better to large spaces and require simpler maintenance.

For the distracted (those people who always forget to water or expose themselves to the sun)

Buoy: resistant and easy to maintain plant, which can survive in different light conditions and does not require specific care in terms of watering (a moist substrate is sufficient).

Zamioculcas: a good choice for those who sometimes forget to water the seedlings frequently, as it is hardy and does not require much maintenance. She likes humidity, but not soggy soil. Ideal for indoor and dimly lit environments.

Peace Lily: it can grow in low light conditions and likes water in a larger volume to survive. They are hardy, without losing the charm and elegance of their characteristic white “flowers”.

For those who will start now

Anthurium: rustic and easy to maintain, it can be grown both indoors and outdoors (provided it is not exposed to direct sunlight all day long!). It has colorful and attractive flowers, making it an excellent choice for anyone who wants to learn about different types of plants.

Raffis palm: durable and easy to maintain, great for indoors; all with an elegant look that is sure to help create a tropical feel to any space.

Sword of St. George: versatile, it can be grown in different types of environments. It has an interesting look that combines rusticity and sophistication, and for this it is enough to use colored pots when planting them.

For those who are also mum and dad of pets

According to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA), plants such as areca bamboo and sunflower are considered safe plants to have in environments where these animals roam. However, it is important to keep in mind that, as with any other plant, it is highly recommended that pets avoid interacting by chewing or ingesting leaves, stems or fruits of ornamental plants, because, like humans, each organism reacts differently and ingesting plants can be harmful.
