Houseplants!

Plants clean the air! There are a few really nice, big, air-scrubbing plants that would work well in your home. This article in Wikipedia about the NASA Clean Air Study has some good information.

If you are looking for some houseplants, I make recommendations, give you a cost, and I can deliver within a day or two, for orders over $150. How I can best help you is to talk with you (via email, Facetime, chat, whatever is easy) about your space and requirements and go from there.

Pet-friendly indoor plants:

  • Bamboo Palm - Chamaedorea seifrizii. These range from $80 - $140.

  • Lady palm - Rhapis excelsa. These are the workhorse of any hotel, office or home. They can take low light and neglect thus the hefty price tag. These typically go from between $100 - $400 but they are worth every penny.

  • Calathea rufibarba - Gorgeous and colorful, but keep this one watered if you don’t want crispy edges. They range from $35 - $60

Plants that need high light.
High light plants require four to six hours of direct sunlight. Direct sun from a south, east or west window. During the summer months you would move them a bit away from the window and water more often.

• Aloe - Aloe vera
• Ponytail Palm - Beaucarnea recurvata
• Cacti & Succulents - All types
• Croton - Codiaeum variegatum
• Jade Plant - Crassula argentea
• Weeping Fig - Ficus benjamina
• Rubber Tree - Ficus elastica
• Fiddle Leaf Fig - Ficus lyrata
• Schefflera - Schefflera actinophylla
• Yucca - Yucca elephantipes

Plants that need medium light.
Medium-light plants grow well in bright eastern exposures with morning sun or placed four to six feet away from a south or west window.

• Dumb Cane - Dieffenbachia sp.
• Dragon Tree - Dracaena marginata
• Nuda Ficus - Ficus nuda
• Philodendron - Philodendron sp.
• Weeping Pododcarpus - Podocarpus sp.
• Mini Schefflera - Schefflera arboricola
 

Plants that can handle low light.
Low-light plants like sun from north facing windows.


• Cast Iron Plant - Aspidistra elatior. These guys can really handle low light, I have them in my daylight basement.
• Bamboo Plant - Chamaedorea erupens
• Reed Palm - Chamaedorea seifrizii
• Parlor Palm - Chamaedorea elegans
• Grape Ivy - Cissus rhombifolia
• Dracaenas
• Kentia Palm - Howea forsteriana
• Mother-in-Law’s Tongue / Snake plant - Sanseveria sp. You can’t kill this. If you kill it I want to meet you.
• Peace Lilly - Spathiphyllum sp.
