Growing indoor plants on the dining table: these are the best choices

The dining table is a great place for family and friends to gather. Besides decorative bottles, you can also grow indoor plants that match the dining room, or add some cut flowers.

When choosing indoor plants for the dining table, be sure to pay attention: not all indoor potted plants can be placed on the dining table. You need to consider whether the plant is toxic, as well as light and air humidity.

1. Drought-tolerant plants

If there is a bright spot or suitable indirect light near your dining table, growing some succulents or cacti is a good choice.

But avoid keeping spiny cacti; you can also choose varieties with softer spines. For succulents, choose edible ones, such as the common Graptopetalum paraguayense, Graptosedum 'Francesco Baldi' and Sedum adolphi. You can spread some small gravel on the soil surface.
