Plants bring life into our rooms, improve the indoor climate, and enhance our well-being. But not every plant feels equally comfortable in every room. To help you find the perfect green roommate, we have put together a checklist.
Living Room – The Green Centerpiece
The living room is often the central room of the apartment – this is where people relax, read, and receive guests. Large, striking plants add accents here and create a cozy atmosphere.
Recommended plants:
Golden Cane Palm (Dypsis lutescens): With its elegant fronds, it brings a tropical flair to the living room and improves air quality.
Monstera (Monstera deliciosa): Its characteristic large leaves are a real eye-catcher and give the room an urban jungle atmosphere.
Bedroom – a peaceful oasis with a green touch
In the bedroom, we want a relaxing environment. Plants that release oxygen at night and purify the air are ideal here – especially real CAM plants (Crassulacean Acid Metabolism), which also absorb CO₂ at night. Sounds complicated, but it's brilliant for healthy sleep.
Recommended plants:
Snake Plant 'Laurentii' (Sansevieria trifasciata 'Laurentii'):
Easy to care for and robust, it filters pollutants from the air and, as a CAM plant, even releases oxygen at night – perfect for the bedroom climate.
Snake Plant 'Zeylanica' (Sansevieria zeylanica): Similar to 'Laurentii', this variety impresses with dark green, slightly wavy leaves and is also a CAM plant with nocturnal air purification. And it is completely insensitive to neglect.
Office and Study – Concentration and Freshness
A pleasant indoor climate promotes productivity. Plants that filter pollutants and require little care are ideal here.
Recommended plants:
Dragon tree (Dracaena marginata) Its slender leaves and upright growth make it the perfect companion for the workplace.
Weeping fig (Ficus benjamina) With its numerous small leaves, it creates a fresh atmosphere and improves air quality.
Kitchen – Fresh boost for the cooking area
In the kitchen, there are often higher temperatures and higher humidity. Plants that cope well with this are in demand here.
Recommended plants:
Spider Plant (Chlorophytum comosum): It is extremely easy to care for, adapts to different conditions, and filters pollutants from the air.
Flamingo flower (Anthurium andreanum): Its colorful flowers bring life to the kitchen and it thrives well in high humidity.
Bathroom – Tropical feeling for the wellness oasis
High humidity and fluctuating temperatures characterize the bathroom. Plants that love these conditions feel comfortable here.
Recommended plants:
Orchids (Phalaenopsis): It loves high humidity and brings a touch of luxury to the bathroom with its elegant flowers.
Golden Cane Palm (Dypsis lutescen): It also cuts a good figure here and ensures a pleasant indoor climate.
Hallway and Entrance Area – Welcome with Green
The entrance area is the house's business card. Robust plants that tolerate changing light conditions are ideal here.
Recommended plants:
Snake Plant 'Laurentii' (Sansevieria trifasciata 'Laurentii'): Its upright leaves fit perfectly in narrow hallways and it requires little light.
Dragon tree (Dracaena marginata): Its slender growth is well suited for corners and adds height to the room.
The right plant in the right place can work wonders – for your well-being and the indoor climate. With this checklist, you'll find the perfect green companion for every room.
