Collection: Plants for Bedroom

Are you buying plants for bedroom in India? You have a variety of options that you can look at for a perfect night's sleep. Plants not only bring calmness and relaxation, but also filter pollutants from the air making the indoor air more breathable with lesser toxicity and dust particles. Consider the following when you are buying plants for bedroom:

1. Space: The type of plants that you can get for your bedroom depends a lot upon the space your bedroom has. For a spacious bedroom, mini-trees like Monstera, Palms, and Fiddle Leaf Fig are a great option. For a lesser spacious bedroom, you can look at medium-sized plants like Calathea and Syngonium and table-top plants like Earth Star and Aloe. For more compact spaces, you can think of plants that do well in 3 to 4 inch pot sizes, like Succulents and some other plants that Greenkin has classified under a category called "Small Plants".

2. Light: Amount of light that your bedroom gets is another critical factor in deciding the plants you could buy. If you get bright indirect sunlight, almost all of the indoor plants will do well in your bedroom. For sections that receive lesser light, you could place more hardy plants like Snake Plant and ZZ Plant. If you have a bedroom balcony where you receive a good amount of direct sunlight, you can look at our range of "outdoor plants" and "plants for balcony".

3. Décor: The plants that you add to your bedroom become a part of the overall décor. Thus, it is best to buy plants that enhance your current bedroom décor. For instance, a more modern setting in your bedroom demands plants like Rubber Plant, Ti Plant, ZZ Plant, Peace Lily, Orchid, Monstera, Pothos, Bromeliads, and Succulents. While plants like Dracaena, Dieffenbachia, Palms, Snake Plant, Heart-leaf Philodendron, Monstera Adansonii, and Aloe are best suited to more tropical settings and earthy décor. Thus it is best to virtually place the plants in your bedroom and take a sense of the overall décor before buying the plants for bedroom.
