I have a few spots left in my apartment. Pretty much all bright spots are used up by now, but there are a lot of dark-ish corners (especially on top of shelves and hanging planters) that are still empty.
What houseplants do you recommend for that places?
The only no-go is toxicity. At least, they shouldn’t be super toxic to my cats.
Right now, a few of those spots mentioned are used by Epipremnum (I believe Pothos is the English name for them), which are slightly toxic, but hung up so high, that they aren’t accessible. And even if they munch on them, not much would happen.
Ideally, as plus point, it would be nice if the plants are hanging down, not like a Calathea for example. I have enough of those 😅
Basically, I’m looking for something similar to a pothos, in terms of light requirements and the way of growth.
But don’t feel limited by that, any suggestion is great!
I like your idea about ferns. Thanks for that! I’ve taken your advice and divided my already big enough Nephrolepsis exaltata fern into three.
I’m not a fan of fake plants tbh. I don’t wanna buy something that just collects dust (literally) and then lands up on a landfill some time down the road. But still thanks :)
Fake plants actually hold good resale value for the very reason you say.
All of my fake plants I got second hand. The only bad thing is that they can be several times more expensive than their real counterparts.
I have a fake small palm tree (like 4 feet tall) that was about $100 second hand. Worth it though.
When they get dirty, I’ll run them under a shower and then let it dry in the sun during the summer.
