PLANTS FOR EVERY ROOM
May 02, 2016
In case you haven't noticed, it is now totally cool for plants to hang out at home. (Pun intended). You might have seen this quote making the rounds on Instagram- Plant lady is the new cat lady.
A few weeks ago I joined a few other plant loving friends on Instagram, to show how we use plants throughout the home. It was just a fun way to share our photos (and Pothos), and encourage others to bring the outdoors in!
I saw this as an excuse to adopt a new plant or two. So here is how I use plants throughout my home.
1. IN THE ENTRY
My entry opens directly into the living room. Its the perfect spot for this shade loving Peace Lily. It sits at least 10 feet away from the window and is happy that way. This plant is low-maintenance, lives in low light and is an excellent air purifier!
2. IN THE LIVING ROOM
My living room window is where all the sun loving plants hangout. Can you spot the world's tiniest fiddle leaf fig and my air plants on my DIY clay dish?
3. IN THE KITCHEN
Our kitchen hardly receives any natural light. Which means there are very few plants that can survive here. The Pothos will thrive in bright indirect light, but it will also survive low light conditions, like my kitchen.
4. IN THE DINING ROOM
My dining room doesn't receive much light either. But this lucky bamboo seems to be fine in this spot.
5. IN THE BEDROOM
I try and keep my nightstand free of plants, but you will occasionally find a plant or two on this dresser. This is where new plants are 'quarantined' before they are ready to meet my other indoor plants!
So that's it! Does this encourage you to adopt a few plants?

Lovely post and photos, Vin. I think your plants know (and feel) that they are being loved, that's why they look so beautiful. :)
