The weather has started to change and temperatures have dropped. Fall is officially here! With the change of summer to fall, it’s time to add more plant life to our homes. This month’s houseplants are cactus and succulents. These plants are perfect for every home. There are so many varieties, you’re sure to find one you’ll love. They are low maintenance, so they are a great option for any level of houseplant parent. Cactus and succulents have similar needs. Cactus thrive with bright light and drought conditions. Succulents also prefer bright light and infrequent watering. Cactus and succulents can sunburn with direct sunlight through windows, so monitor for damage. During winter months, you may only need to water every 4 to 6 weeks. Cactus are usually pest free. Mealybugs and scale can be an issue for succulents, so keep an eye out. Stop by and we can help you find the perfect plant for your home.
Choosing the perfect houseplant to buy starts with matching the plant to your home. Think about the amount of natural light, the temperature, and who shares your space. Some plants thrive in low light, others love bright sunlight, and there are safe options for homes with kids or pets. Here’s a quick guide to help you decide which houseplant to buy:
For bright, sunny areas, consider plants like Philodendrons, Succulents, Cacti, and Rubber Plants.
If your space doesn’t get much direct sunlight, these plants are a great choice. Snake Plants, Pothos, ZZ Plants, and Peace Lilies all thrive in low light and are easy to care for.
For a worry-free choice, go with non-toxic plants like Parlor Palms, Calatheas, Spider Plants, and Boston Ferns.
