And no one better to guide us on this plant walkway than our admired expert. Because if you want your house to be the last (and, well, healthy) you must put plants. But not just any plant, no … These are the ones that really destroy right now.
Monstera Deliciosa or rib of Adam, The Top One
Native to the rainforests of South America. It is the fashion floor par excellence that everyone wants to have. The shape of its leaves can remember a few ribs, hence its nickname, Rib of Adam.
It has a very vigorous growth so you will need a tutor of coconut fiber to hold it and do not open the leaves much. Its ideal location is in large spaces such as living rooms and dining rooms, as it reaches large dimensions. “It needs to be located in an area of the room that receives medium light, a few meters from the window or closer if we have curtains that protect it from the direct sun. It also benefits them to spend some seasons in areas of direct sun”, advises Anna.
Care
Requires a temperature between 10 and 21 degrees. A plant needs a lot of environmental humidity, so in very dry environments and in summer should be sprayed aerial leaves and roots with water. It has to be watered only when you see the dry substrate and if you have a tutor of coconut fiber, it is better to water it by pulling the water directly to the tutor and letting it go down by itself. Fertilize every 15 days in summer.
Pilea Peperomioides, for a Nordic style
Originally, from China, its hallmark is its round, bright green leaves. It is also known as the “Swedish Ivy” because it is very common to see it in Nordic style decorations.
Care
Place it in a place where the temperature stays between 16 and 21 degrees, do not like the cold. It needs a lot of light but not direct because it would burn its leaves. To the side of a balcony with curtain or separated a few meters from the window is its perfect place. Watering only when the surface is dry, does not like waterlogging. Fertilize every 15 days in summer.
If you add some sand and fertilizer to the substrate of the pot, the pilea will thank you.
Alocasia Zebrina, how long the animal print!
Native to South America. Like all large-leafed plants, it is ideal for rooms with enough space. You will need a tutor of coconut fiber as it grows, to which we will help that the aerial roots adhere.
Care
It needs to be located in a place where it receives lots of light but not direct sunlight. Its ideal temperature is between 20 and 24 degrees, and needs a humid environment, so in summer and winter if there is heating to dry the environment, you will need to spray the leaves with water to keep moisture. Water only when the surface is dry and fertilize every 3/4 weeks in summer.
Begonia Maculata, natural print
“Without a doubt the last cry in indoor plants, its original leaves with white tops make it a unique plant, and it blooms several times a year, giving some pretty pale pink flowers,” says Anna.
Care
Keep away from windows facing south because it does not tolerate direct sunlight, and does not like being near radiators, its ideal temperature is between 10 and 21 degrees. Below 10 degrees, it begins to lose the leaves.
It needs watering when the surface is dried and fertilized every 15 days in summer.
