Indoor Potted Plants

[oj88]

My botanical knowledge is like that of a 5 year-old, so go easy on me.

I want to grace our home with live potted plants for the following purposes:
1. Aesthetics
2. To improve indoor air quality

My personal requirements:
1. Low maintenance - It should live with just artificial indoor ambient lighting (LEDs) 95% of the time, with maybe very little indirect sunlight during the morning
2. It shouldn't grow too big - 3-4 feet tall maximum for the living room, a foot or two for the toilet, and maybe 2-3 feet for the bedroom. (Not particularly sure on these figures so I'm open to suggestions)
3. Can coexist with pets - We have a pet dog loose in the house and I definitely don't want a plant that's in any way toxic to canines. On the other end of the spectrum, I also don't want a plant that's known to be edible to canines (if there's such a thing exists), for obvious reasons

Where is the go-to place for buying indoor plants?

Any help is appreciated.

Check your local gardener. They may have a few good suggestions.

Chlorophytum comosum
Chamaedorea


Yung spider plant nakabili ako sa Cartimar. i think you can find bamboo palm there as well

Chlorophytum comosum = Spider plant
Chamaedorea = bamboo palm(not kawayan)

We used to have palmera plants in our living room. It doesn't grow too tall, maybe 4 feet.

bamboo. the small variety. low maintenance ang bamboo.
but be ready to sun them outside on a regular basis. all plants need sunlight.

A lot of plant varieties to choose in Cartimar. Dun ako naka chamba ng Buddha bamboo na mura. 550 lang for a pot.

I like how the money tree (Pachira Aquatica) looks. Not sure where to get them though.

Did you find yourself in Tagaytay during the weekends, do drop by plant sellers along Aguinaldo Hiway in Silang Town.

Not really. To be honest, we're not after exotic or rare indoor plants. We just want some plants, period. :D We currently don't have any (not if you count the molds in the balcony). In fact, up until a few months ago, we didn't even have a pet. Lately, all of us in my family started to crave for that organic feeling at home, you know what I mean?

I will still keep your suggestion in mind, tho.

Hmm, pets have their own ideas about turning your room "organic". That's why i keep fish na lang, they can poop all they want, hanggang aquarium lang aabot :D

If it's not too far sir, bisita kayo sa Cartimar, i think me mahahanap na kayo diyan. i would suggest going there in the morning as parking space is limited. The place(area selling plants) gets pretty packed in the afternoon.

ito sabi nila luyang dilaw daw ito. Ang ganda ah

EDIT: SAbi ng nabasa ko eh white turmeric pero not true turmeric.

^We have that pero red and yellow yung flower. It's not kept indoors though.

Sir Kags, anong favorite mong halaman sa mga tanim mo?
Ako itong snake plant na boring 1st na halaman ang aalagaan ko.. Tatanungin daw ako ng friends ko after 1 month kung buhay pa.. nakaka-preasure hahahaha [emoji23]
Btw, tinanim muna sya sa plant box sa labas.. Wala pa kasi akong paso, di pa ako makalabas ng bahay..

I’m not sure where you can get them but these 2 are quite sturdy indoor:
1. Pothos



2. Rubber tree


Meron po ata sa Lazada or Shoppee mga sellers.

We have both at home and they need only 1x a week watering and 1x a week exposure to sunlight outside the home.
