How to Enjoy All the Benefits of Plants in Your Home Décor
It’s no secret that house plants can complement the décor of any room in your home. Most people have at least a few plants around the house to add a bit of greenery, and bring a little of the great outdoors into the house.
But plants offer many other benefits too. They help keep the air clean and dust-free. They can improve your mood and relieve stress. And they can even help you sleep better.
But, if you want to enjoy all the health and aesthetic benefits of plants, you have two basic problems. First, you need to know how best to display the plants for maximum ‘feng shui’. Second, you need to know how to keep the plants healthy beyond just the first couple weeks in the house.
Tips for Decorating with Plants
You can enjoy all the health benefits of plants even if you just keep them in a random variety of pots in the window. But it helps to know a few tips to get all the benefits they offer for your décor.
An Occasional Table for Plants
You can put together creative displays of smaller plants on an occasional table.

A Signature Potted Plant
Plants come in all sizes and shapes. A larger plant can become the focal point of a room, like this one in a dining room.
Tips for Keeping Your Plants Healthy
Just like they can keep you healthier, you should give plants a little love and attention to keep them in great shape.
Start with Hardier Plants
Are you’re just starting to decorate with plants, or just don’t have a ‘green thumb’? Try varieties that don’t need as much attention, like a sansevieria. It can live in low light, don’t need as much water and looks great.
Leave Them Alone After You Bring Them Home
It’s tempting to put a new plant in your favourite pot when you bring it home. But plants need to get accustomed to their new surroundings and you should wait at least a week before repotting them.
Use Fertilizer
Fertilizers help plants stay healthy and strong, even if you miss a few waterings.
