PLANTS

"A plant should have its own space in the room, just like furniture and art."

We know that lush plants make a room cosier and more relaxing. But a lot of people don't know about their other, more important, function. They increase humidity indoors and remove toxins from the air we breathe. Research shows that the indoor environment can be up to ten times more polluted than outdoor air. A couple of well chosen green and lush plants can do wonders for you, in so many ways.

Good humidifiers:

Areca palm, Chrysalidocarpus lutescens
Lady palm, Rhapis excelsa
Bamboo palm, Chamaedoea erumpens
Chrysanthemum, Dendrathema x grandiflora
Dragon tree, Dracena deremensis
Gerbera, Gerbera x cantabrigiensis
Long leaf fig, Ficus binnendijkii
Bananito, Musa acuminata
Sword fern, Nephrolepis exaltata
Peace lily, Spathiphyllum

Best air purifiers:

Gerbera, Gerbera cantabrigiensis
Ivy, Hedera helix
Red edged dragon tree, Dracaena marginata
Peace lily, Spathiphyllum ´Mauna Loa
Mother-in-law's tongue, Sansevieria trifasciata

The best way to plant in a Cult plant pot:

Place a layer of drainage material in the bottom, e.g. lightweight clay balls, gravel or pot shards. As well as being good for avoiding root rot, which will kill your plants, the larger clay balls also make it easy to build up your plant so that it reaches the right height for the edge of the plant pot. You can then place your plant straight onto the layer of balls or fill the pot with soil and plant your plant straight into the outer pot.

And thats it!
