10 Benefits of Having Indoor Plants in your Home
Indoor plant . What is it?
Plant Role in Interior Design
Why Have Indoor Plants? Bring the outdoors indoors
The majority of the plant species kept as houseplants come from the area
of the tropical rainforest and the adjacent areas. The length of the day is
constantly around twelve hours. Precipitation is evenly distributed over the
year. The average daily temperature depends on the respective altitude.
The lighting conditions under which the respective plant species thrive
depend on the respective vegetation levels. Plants that grow close to the
ground are usually very shade-tolerant. In contrast, the lighting
requirement is higher for climbing plants and epiphytically growing species.
Tropical Rainforest : Seasonally wet forests:
In contrast to the tropical rainforests, the alternately moist or rain-
green forests have rainy and dry periods. The species found there are
adapted to these dry periods and have growing and resting periods.
Successful maintenance of these species requires that these rest
periods are observed.
Typical plant species in the alternately moist forests, the varieties of
which are cultivated as houseplants, are knight's stars and the clivien,
which has been introduced as a houseplant since 1850.

2. The origin of indoor plants
The open savannah landscape, which can be found in both the tropics and
the subtropics, is subdivided into wet savannah, dry savannah and thorn
bush savannah. Plant species in this habitat are very well adapted to
temporary drought and low humidity. They are mostly succulents and cacti.
However, it is important to note that cold storage in many species is
necessary in winter in order to achieve flowering success next year.
In addition to the cacti, various types of aloes, agaves, crassula, echeveria,
euphorbia and sansevieria have spread as houseplants.
Savannah and desert: Subtropics:
The subtropics are characterized by a length of day
that changes according to the season and a
relatively mild winter with abundant rainfall. During
the summer, precipitation occasionally occurs only
occasionally and very high temperatures can be
reached. some species of ficus are houseplants that
come from this vegetation zone.
Temperate zone:
Very few species of the plants cared for as
indoor plants come from the temperate
climate zone. Typical representatives are
cultivated forms of ivy as well as Saxifraga
stolonifera and Carex brunnea. They all only
thrive if they are as cool as possible
Care for indoor plants
some tips that will help care for indoor plants:
1. Keep potting soil moist- It’s important to make sure soil
is not too wet nor too dry.
2. Make sure the plant pot has drainage holes in the
bottom of the pot.
3. Place plant near a light source, whether it’s natural or
artificial.
4. Determine what species of plant have so it can more
accurately care .

2. Light Levels(either not enough light or too much light)
3. Neglect
