Six flowers that can instantly elevate your home's style are perfect for growing as potted plants at home

Many mothers who are passionate about home decor carefully tend several potted plants at home to freshen the air and enhance their home's taste. So in a monotonous home environment, what kinds of plants can be placed to elevate the home's style? Today Hua'er Gu is here to recommend six plants that are perfect for elevating your home's style.

1. Fiddle-leaf fig

The fiddle-leaf fig has huge leaves shaped like a violin. It is shade-tolerant and grows well in bright, indirect light indoors.

When growing a fiddle-leaf fig, you should pinch off the growing tip early to encourage branching and prevent the tree from becoming too large.

2. Corn plant (Dracaena fragrans)

The corn plant has broad leaves, and the 'Massangeana' variety with its golden center looks especially beautiful. It is also very easy to grow.

The corn plant is shade-tolerant but not tolerant of scorching sun. It likes a warm, humid growing environment. In summer, mist the leaves frequently to increase air humidity.

3. Norfolk Island pine (Araucaria heterophylla)

Growing a Norfolk Island pine requires plenty of light. If the light is too dim, the branches will droop.

The Norfolk Island pine needs relatively high air humidity. If the air is too dry, it is prone to red spider mites.

4. Heartleaf Philodendron (Philodendron hederaceum)

The heartleaf philodendron is a very easy-to-grow indoor foliage plant with heart-shaped leaves, suitable as an indoor hanging plant.

The heartleaf philodendron dislikes direct sunlight and prefers a warm, humid environment. Relatively high air humidity should be maintained.

5. Weeping fig (Ficus benjamina)

The weeping fig has drooping leaves. Placed in a corner indoors, it looks very full of life.

The fiddle-leaf fig likes bright, indirect light. It is not cold-tolerant, nor tolerant of waterlogging. Be careful not to move it around casually, otherwise it will drop its leaves.

6. Arrowhead plant (Syngonium podophyllum)

The arrowhead plant has mottled spots on its green leaves, giving it a strong decorative quality.

The arrowhead plant likes bright, indirect light. During the growing season, the potting soil should be kept moist.
