The Benefits of Keeping Indoor Plants

Infuse a bit of life into your space!

With the stuffiness of Winter beginning to end, we can look forward to enjoying our Gardens when we can throw open the windows to allow our houses to breathe.  In the meantime, while we wait for warmer weather why not introduce more plants inside your home. We have some great plant pots to accompany them! Indoor house plants are perfect for helping to regulate humidity levels and they also add fresh oxygen to your surroundings.  They release phytochemicals, which suppress mould spores and bacteria in the air. With so many varieties of Houseplants to choose from, they can add texture and colour to your home.  But it isn’t just the variety of house plants that let you be creative, you can also add texture and dimension when you choose your indoor plant pot. Houseplant pots can complement or enhance the plant and the room that it is placed in.  You can create a statement look with any style or space. “If you’re arranging planters always follow the odd number rule, so group them in threes or fives. Go for similar materials which complement each other. I also like taking terracotta planters and spray-painting them or the saucers matching them to another colour in the room’s scheme, such as a cushion or piece of furniture. Also look at hanging displays, whether it’s pots in macramé, suspended terrariums or upside-down planters; they really jazz things up." says Isabelle Palmer, the Balcony Gardener Why not introduce an eastern feel to your home with these Tuscany tile design plant pots which come in this seasons colour trends of blues, grey’s and green’s These pots look perfect with Geraniums as shown in the picture.  Geranium’s will flower continuously from March – June and onwards, if they are provided with enough light and are deadheaded regularly.
