Aiming for a stylish life, I want to incorporate some plants into the space! However, it may be a room where it is difficult for the sun to enter, or the space is limited.

1. A room with poor sunlight → Choose plants that are “shade-tolerant”!

In condominiums, depending on the location, there are often no windows or places where it is difficult for sunlight to enter, so there is often a problem that plants cannot grow well. In such a place, we recommend plants that are "shade-tolerant" and can easily grow in the shade.

(Example) Dracaena, Pothos, Sansevieria, etc.

Dracaena Concinne, which has shade tolerance, is easy to decorate even for beginners, and can be placed anywhere. It becomes fashionable just by placing it for a while.

Pothos is a very easy plant to manage, recommended for beginners and busy people. Perfect for those who want a little green. Also on the side of the TV stand ◎

2. Don't want to take up too much space → Choose plants that don't grow too big!

Even among plants, there are various growth speeds, some grow rapidly, and others grow slowly and leisurely. Choosing a slow-growing plant will save you the hassle of repotting.

(Example) Dracaena, syngonium, asplenium, etc.

Hydroculture Syngonium, which is less likely to attract insects, is recommended not only for the living room, but also for the bathroom where there is little greenery.

3. Worried about soil dirt and insects → Choose a cultivation method that is less worried about dirt and insects!

When you try to grow plants indoors, it's hard to clean up if you spill the soil, and it's not pleasant if insects appear. Recently, indoor soil has appeared, and it has become possible to grow plants safely even in the house. It is also recommended to choose a cultivation method that does not use soil, such as hydroculture or jug ​​cultivation.
