This product was recommended by Min Tom from Happy Hong Konger
Air plants, commonly referred to as Tillandsia, rely entirely on atmospheric moisture to survive and thrive. There are a ton of aesthetically appealing alternatives available, which may be displayed in chic air-plant carriers like these, all of which have a minimum root system and more than 500 species to pick from.
English Ivy
This product was recommended by Min Tom from Happy Hong Konger
Easy to cultivate English ivy prefers strong light over direct sunlight but does not enjoy it. It requires wet soil and slightly lower temperatures than the majority of indoor plants, between 50°F and 65°F (10°C and 18°C). Ivy enjoys moisture, so spritz it or set it in a tray with pebbles and water. English ivy needs regular fertilizing, except in the cold months. Be advised that both children and pets may be poisoned by it. This is because English ivy produces a substance called glycoside hederin. If swallowed, this chemical can cause a variety of symptoms, such as nausea, diarrhea, fever, and breathing difficulties.
Bonsai Tree
This product was recommended by Rashid Khan from Dubai’s Best
In the Japanese technique of pruning known as bonsai, tiny trees are trained to resemble the size and shape of larger trees. Due to their small size, bonsais are ideal for apartments, and one of the easiest to maintain is the ficus bonsai. Being that the ficus bonsai grows in warm settings, indoors is perfect. They demand intense sunshine and can occasionally be submerged or overturned.
Flamingo Lily
This product was recommended by James Mayo from Exubia
Besides being recognised as one of the best plants for air-purification by NASA, the Flamingo Lily is also an incredible choice visually. Its distinct red foliage will help brighten up even the dullest places and provide a talking point for any visitors that come to your space. Furthermore, it also requires very little light to maintain its appearance. To ensure the plant blooms all year-round, the plant only requires around 400-foot candles of light. To put this into perspective, it requires less than half of the light that Succulent or a Fiddle-Leaf Fig requires. If you do have to place it in a darker spot, then not to worry – it can survive with just an eight of the light that a Succulent or a Fiddle-Leaf Fig need. In these instances, its unlikely that it’s incredible red flower will bloom, however, if you move it to a lighter spot at a later date it will certainly pick up where it left off.
