6 must-have trendy plants for autumn and winter, easily create a Nordic style

As soon as autumn arrives, it's time to buy plants for decorating again. Take the weekend to replan the layout at home: move the flowering plants to the balcony, and pick a few “trendy” plants for indoors. Below are the 6 must-have “trendy” plants for autumn and winter, easily create a Nordic style!

1. Fiddle-Leaf Fig

The fiddle-leaf fig has large leaves, somewhat like the shape of a violin, hence the name fiddle-leaf fig. It is a small shrub, and under normal growth it can reach about 2 m tall. Keep one at home and it stands full of presence, while the other small green plants all step aside.

Propagation and care:

1. The fiddle-leaf fig can be propagated by cuttings. Usually you cut branches from the current year's growth, put them in water and they will root. After rooting, continue water culture for half a month, then transfer to soil.

2. For a newly bought fiddle-leaf fig, keep it in its pot in a cool place first to adapt, and water it again after 3-5 days. Once adapted, place it in a bright spot indoors and water once a week. Be careful not to water the leaves, as this easily causes disease and leaf drop.

2. Rubber Plant

The rubber plant's leaves are glossy and shiny. Keep one indoors and it looks very energetic, clean and hygienic. It also has strong adaptability, so it can be called a lazy person's plant.

Propagation and care:

1. The rubber plant can be propagated by cuttings. Cut branches 10-20 cm long and use loose, breathable leaf mold mixed with sandy soil for rooting. The success rate is high and rooting is fast, and it can be done now too.

2. As long as the rubber plant has adapted to the environment, it can be grown either outdoors or indoors. Be sure to keep it ventilated, water once every 3-4 days, and do not let water accumulate in the pot. Occasionally wipe the leaves to avoid dust blocking their breathing.

3. Bird of Paradise

The bird of paradise looks a bit like a banana plant and is a tropical plant. In recent years it has been deeply loved by many flower enthusiasts, and it is grown all over the country, with overwintering being no problem at all.

Propagation and care:

1. The bird of paradise is generally propagated by division and sowing. After flowering in spring, collect the seeds and sow them, or divide and repot in spring and autumn.

2. The bird of paradise likes light, so it is best to place it in a spot with sunlight and water once every 2-3 days. You can also spray water on the leaves more often to keep them moist and prevent drying. In winter, reduce watering. If your home has heating, it can overwinter safely; if there is no heating, you can wrap the main stem with a plastic bag to keep it warm.

4. Monstera

Monstera used to be planted outdoors all the time. I never expected it to be so popular now. Besides the common monstera, there are also varieties such as monstera obliqua, so everyone can choose according to their own preferences.

Propagation and care:

1. Generally, potted monstera is propagated by division in spring and autumn. If you come across a large monstera, you can also cut stem sections with roots for cuttings, and they root very easily.

2. For a monstera you bring home, be sure to avoid direct sun exposure and keep it indoors. It does not need too much water; water once a week, and water less when it is cold. Usually spraying a little water or beer on the leaves can encourage the leaves to split.

5. Areca Palm

The areca palm has a very tropical feel. Place one in the room and it immediately feels like a holiday. However, many flower enthusiasts say it tends to get yellow leaves. Actually, as long as you grasp one point, you can avoid this problem!

Propagation and care:

1. The areca palm is mainly propagated by division. Generally, for large green plants, you should pick a time every spring and autumn to change the pot and soil. At that time, you only need to divide carefully, and one pot can become many pots.

2. The areca palm is a tropical plant, and the water and soil in the north are more alkaline, so it easily gets yellow leaves. Flower enthusiasts can keep some ferrous sulfate on hand and mix a little in when watering. Or use fish tank water or fermented rice water to water it, increasing the soil's acidity.

6. Dragon Fruit Cactus

The dragon fruit cactus can be said to be the easiest trendy plant to grow. Plant a few stems at home, and there is no need to worry about watering or fertilizing at all. You can grow it well even while lying down!

Propagation and care:

1. Besides buying dragon fruit cactus at the flower market, I heard you can also cut off a section and stick it in soil to root. However, Huahua has not tried it yet. I wonder if any flower enthusiasts have succeeded?

2. The dragon fruit cactus also belongs to the cactus family, so it can live perfectly well without much watering. Basically, watering 1-2 times a month is enough. Be careful not to pour it on the plant itself, and do not water too much, otherwise it will rot or grow leggy.
