MANY Malaysians would usually want to be surrounded by greenery but are put off by the maintenance work required for it. Either that or they lack the gardening skills to tend to these plants.
Instead of having a garden, they can have potted plants instead inside their home. Besides enhancing the vibe of the place, these plants serve a vital purpose by cleansing the air within.
So here are some options for the novice gardener. These plants are not only hardy and built to withstand the Malaysian climate, they are safe for the forgetful gardener.
Snake plants
The snake plant is extremely robust and its elongated leaves bring a touch of elegance into the living space.
Their large leaves are also great for purifying the air, making them the ideal indoor plants. Look out for the Sansevieria trifasciata and Sansevieria cylindrica variants due to their sleek growth. Place them in a fancy pot and they will provide a splash of panache to the home.
Peace lilies
Their lovely white flowers are accentuated by dark green leaves which bring a touch of class to any living area. The best part about peace lilies is that they are relatively low maintenance and do not require a great deal of sunlight. They also do a magnificent job purifying the air.
Lucky bamboo
Great for feng shui, the lucky bamboo is a common sight in many Malaysian homes. It is easy to maintain as all these hardy shoots need is a water container and they will be alright even without sunlight.
Their visually striking appearance can be used as a mantlepiece or add colour to a side table. Looking for new digs to bring some indoor plants to? Why not have the best of both worlds by checking out the upcoming residential offerings at Hiijauan Broga.
