Houseplants with real style: what you're growing barely counts as a plant

Still copying others and growing pothos, spider plants and succulents? If your home lacks style, let plants fill the gap! Today, for easy-care gardening, let's introduce some "lazy person plants" that instantly raise the style of any home, and not only do they look heavenly, they are also very easy to grow!

1. Fiddle-leaf fig

The fiddle-leaf fig (Ficus lyrata) is a broadleaf plant that grows very tall, and it is a perfect match for a woven basket; paired together they look absolutely beautiful. The way to care for a fiddle-leaf fig is to water it often and give it plenty of sun. Simple, right!

How to choose: pick a tall-stemmed one, meaning one that looks like a tree with a trunk below and dense leaves above. The kind that is covered in leaves from top to bottom is a mixed planting and won't last very long.

2. Monstera

First and foremost is the hugely popular internet-famous green plant, monstera (Monstera deliciosa). With its beautiful large leaves and distinctive split patterns, whether used as a specimen decorative painting or grown at home, it is a treat for the eyes. Monstera combines style, beauty and ease of care all in one, and its ability to absorb formaldehyde is also very strong! What's more, once the fruit of the monstera ripens it can even be used in cooking, with a fragrance like pineapple or banana, so no wonder it is so popular.

How to choose: monstera comes in split-leaf and unsplit-leaf types. The split-leaf ones are more expensive than the unsplit-leaf ones, the large-leaf ones are more expensive than the small-leaf ones, and the dark green ones are more expensive than the light green ones.

3. Eucalyptus leaves

Eucalyptus leaves are a dried material; find a glass bottle, add a little water and put in two or three stems, and it is truly impossibly beautiful. Eucalyptus can also be used to extract essential oil, and it can be placed in a study or living room. The fresh atmosphere of eucalyptus is beneficial for the respiratory system and immune system.

The green of eucalyptus leaves, neither eye-catching nor dull, complements any flower beautifully, making them very suitable for bouquets.

Quickly move your flowers and plants around and clear some space, and get ready to welcome these stylish new favorite green plants!
