On these pages I present popular and unknown indoor plants. You will find tips on watering, fertilizing, appropriate substrates, suitable locations and propagation by seeds and cuttings.
What are indoor plants?
Indoor plants are plants that are easy to care for in pots or containers and are suitable for growing indoors all year round.
If you want to enjoy them for a long time, you need to know the individual needs of each species. These plants have had to adapt to different habitats. Some like it shady and cool, others sunny, hot and dry or tropical and humid. Some species need a cool spot in winter if they are to show their flowers in spring or summer.
For these reasons, it is not useful to give general advice on caring for indoor plants. The motto “It is better to water too little than too much” can mean death for some Cyperus species (“papyrus”), for example. These plants colonize swampy areas and grow by or in rivers, ponds and lakes.
