As well as being beautiful and decorative, houseplants have a number of benefits to your home. They can be great for removing toxic agents in the air through air purification, your indoor plants can also improve your health, and sharpen your focus if you have your plants in an office or classroom environment.<\/strong><\/p>

How do you get the most from your plants? Well one of the clues to\u00a0keeping your houseplants happy, is in the placement of those plants within the home.<\/p>

Plants, in general, can withstand warmer or colder climates, and a surplus or shortage of water for a short period of time. However, if you want to get the best from your plants, you will need to place them somewhere they will get the water and nutrients in the right climate in order to survive.<\/p>

So how can you replicate their natural habitat? Our guide will tell you which houseplants to place where in your home so that you get the maximum\u00a0success from your houseplants!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

When you\u2019re thinking about houseplant placement, it\u2019s fine to be concerned about what plant will look prettiest in which room. However, if you want healthy, beautiful, long-lived plants, growing conditions must be considered before anything else.\u00a0<\/p>

Sunlight is the number one requirement for indoor plants. All plants need light, but the amount varies substantially. Although some plants, including certain types of cactus and succulents, need bright sunlight, most prefer more moderate, less intense light.\u00a0<\/p>

Bright, indirect light, such as from an east-facing window, is good for many plants. If your windows face west or south, you may need to move the plants away from the window or soften the intensity with sheer drapes or a light curtain.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Here are a few general tips on houseplants and where to put them:<\/strong><\/p>

Spreading plants around the perimeter and away from the center of the room can make the space appear larger. For instance, place plants on shelves, window sills, or in corners.\u00a0<\/p>

Hanging plants are back in style, but it\u2019s essential to find the best spot. Don\u2019t hang a plant where tall guests can bump their heads. Be sure the plant is safely anchored, preferably not above a walkway or easy chair. You\u2019ll also need to water the plant, so consider how the pot drains.<\/p>

Use your imagination. If you have space, set plants on the rungs of an old ladder or on top of a cupboard. Remember that heat rises so plants in high spots may require more water.\u00a0<\/p>

If plants are at eye level, cover the potting mix with decorative stones or pebbles.\u00a0<\/p>

Don\u2019t forget plants in the bathrooms. Although succulents won\u2019t be happy with all that steamy air, many plants, including philodendron, spider plant, pothos, and most ferns, will thrive in the warmth and humidity.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

As stated above, your plants will need sunshine. Some will thrive off having as much as possible, whilst others will need partial or a full cover of shade for the majority of the time.<\/p>

Remember that your plants do not need direct sunlight at all possible hours of the day as this can scorch the leaves and the roots of the plant.<\/p>

Most plants will be happy with a window that is either West, East or South facing. So do not look to have too many plants facing a Northerly window.<\/p>

There are of course plants that require partial or full shade for large portions of the day.<\/p>

For instance, flowering and foliage plants such as some varieties of fern and lily tend to deal well with minimal direct sunlight and with artificial light.<\/p>

So if you set your foliage plant back from your South facing window a few feet, you will be putting your plant in an ideal position. If you have West or East facing windows, then ensure that your foliage plant remains out of the midday sun, or when there are times of direct sunlight in the room.<\/p>

Plants with large, thick, fleshy leaves will tend to do well in the shade for the most part. Examples of such a plant would be; Jade, Stonecrop and Zebra plant to name but a few.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

As opposed to your garden, your\u00a0houseplants may need more care. It\u2019s always best to do a little bit of research on your plants, even if it\u2019s to see how often your houseplants should be watered or what the desired climate for your houseplant should be.<\/p>

Most houseplants are happy at around 70\u00b0F (20\u00b0C), but some only thrive at colder temperatures. For example, cyclamen prefer a temperature range between 50\u00b0F to\u00a060\u00b0F (10\u00b0C to 15\u00b0C); Cineraria even colder.\u00a0If you own a bonsai tree\u00a0or any other tropical indoor plants, then you may need to have a constant temperature of around 70\u00b0F (20\u00b0C).<\/p>

Be careful when placing your plants near a heated source. Most forms of home heating produce an atmosphere which is too dry for the majority of pot plants. Central heating in winter will create a warm atmosphere which is as dry as a Desert. This will be almost inhospitable for indoor plants.<\/p>

You can either spray your plants with fine droplets of water regularly or create a micro-climate around their leaves by grouping or by packing moss between the pot and its decorative container. You will be able to see the warning signs when your leaves are bone dry or discoloured and the soil looks as if it needs watering.<\/p>
