The Best Bedroom Plants

Houseplants For Better Sleep - Northern Oasis Flowerpot

Are you searching for bedroom decorating ideas that offer more than just aesthetic appeal? Houseplants not only add a touch of greenery to your space but also provide significant health benefits. A famous 1989 NASA study discovered that plants can reduce indoor air pollutants like benzene and formaldehyde, at least in controlled lab settings. More recent research suggests that plants may help reduce stress levels, creating a more relaxing environment, which is perfect for a good night's sleep. 

By carefully selecting the right plants and placing them in beautiful designer plant pots, you can create a luxurious and tranquil environment conducive to restful sleep.

What to Consider Before Choosing Plants for the Bedroom

Before selecting plants for your bedroom, consider the amount of light the room receives, the direction it faces, and whether you regularly keep the window open. While you might enjoy a breezy room, your houseplants may not feel the same way. Additionally, think about how much space you have, as some plants grow faster than others and may outgrow their planters quickly. Choosing the right designer plant pots can also enhance the aesthetic appeal of your plants, making your bedroom not only a sleep sanctuary but a visual delight as well.

Easiest Houseplants to Look After

Peace lilies are excellent for bedrooms as they thrive in bright but indirect sunlight and signal when they need water by drooping. For a statement plant, consider a kentia palm, which grows quickly and thrives in both low and bright light. Both of these plants look stunning in stylish designer plant pots that can complement your bedroom decor. Using a well-chosen planter can also help in managing the plant's growth and care requirements, adding both form and function to your plant selection.

Top Tips for Looking After Plants

Grouping plants with similar care requirements together is a smart strategy. Place cacti and succulents near the window where they can receive plenty of sunlight, and position pothos and monstera away from direct sunlight in a spot that allows for regular misting, as these plants love humidity. Ensuring your plants are in appropriate planters that allow for proper drainage and air circulation is crucial. It's essential to understand the care needs of your existing plants before adding new ones to avoid feeling overwhelmed. Additionally, investing in high-quality designer plant pots can make plant care easier by providing optimal conditions for growth and health.

Deciding Where to Place Each Plant

Consider how your plants will grow and choose their placements accordingly. Trailing plants like pothos or maranta should be placed on high shelves or in macrame hanging planters to allow their vines to cascade beautifully. Small collections of cacti and succulents look lovely grouped together on a desk or shelf, but avoid placing spiky ones on your bedside table to prevent any accidental pricks. Snake plants thrive best in bright sunlight, so avoid placing them in dark corners. Using designer plant pots can elevate the look of these plants, making them a stylish addition to your bedroom decor.

Benefits of Having Houseplants in Your Bedroom

Waking up to a sea of green can enhance your mood, boost serotonin levels, and add a sense of calm to your environment. Houseplants like peace lilies and palms act as natural air purifiers, eliminating harmful toxins such as benzene and formaldehyde emitted by everyday objects in your room. Placing these plants in elegant designer plant pots can further enhance their air-purifying benefits while adding a touch of luxury to your space. By carefully selecting and arranging your plants in beautiful planters, you can create a serene and aesthetically pleasing bedroom that promotes both physical and mental well-being.
