Things to Consider Before Buying a Corner Plant

Are you planning to buy plants for a corner of a room? Choosing plants to be kept in corners has to be made with an overall room décor in mind. Let's look at some basic principles that we should consider while buying plants for a corner of a room in India:

• Space: The first question to answer is how big is the corner you wish to add the plants to. For example, a 2x2 feet space can easily accommodate large plants that can grow up to 6 to 8 feet tall (Yes, you read it right, you can grow a mini tree within your home). A 1x1 feet space should ideally be used to grow medium-sized plants (1 ft to 3 ft) like Aglaonema, Calathea, or even Dieffenbachias. Smaller spaces should ideally have a wall-mounted stand with multiple tiny plants placed on it. Try to have plants smaller than 1 foot tall for the smaller spaces. Succulents are a great choice for such corners.


• Light: While indoor plants can survive in low light conditions, it is good to estimate the amount of light that your corner receives before choosing the plants for the corner. Some ideal decorative plants for room corners like Peace Lilies require some sun to bloom healthy, while some plants like ZZ plants can tolerate extremely low light. Also, look at the distance between the corner and the window. Light tends to be lesser towards corners away from the windows.


• Water: Do you travel often and cannot water your plants regularly? Plan for this before buying the plants. Some plants like low-maintenance corner plants require very little water while others need daily watering. You could also look at a double potting system for your plants to ensure they have self-watering capability.


• Height: A general preference is to grow tall plants in the corners since they can fill up the vacant space and make your room look fuller. But it would be wise to predetermine the size you want and what your space allows.


• Room: Lastly, a corner is not an isolated place but a part of your room. So it is best to choose plants that add to the overall décor of the room. Certain plants are more suited to living rooms than for bedrooms plants, and the other way round too!

Benefits of Having Corner Plants

Placement Guide for Corner Plants

Styling a right corner with plants is a great idea to make your room come alive and add an overall positive vibe. Some tips for placing plants in the corner spot are:

• Choosing a Plant that Matches Your Decor: The first step to styling a corner with plants is to look at your complete room and see what vibe your room currently has. Using simple custom or modern corner plant designs can be an inexpensive way to change the look of your living room effectively. For example, if your room has wooden furniture and has an overall earthy appeal, you can look at large palms that make for a more tropical feel. Whereas if your room has more modern furniture, you might want to add a Rubber plant or a Fiddle leaf Fig , that goes well with a modern look.


• Finding the Right Plant Size: Once you know your room's current vibe, you need to make an important decision - how large do you want your plants to be? Some people love keeping a large (6 to 8 feet tall) plant in the corner, while others prefer to keep medium-sized (1 to 3 feet tall) plants on stools or planter stands. In case you want to go ahead with a medium-sized plant, you should consider buying a stand for placing the planter. Find the perfect stand for your planter that goes well with the rest of your furniture.


• Choosing Your Green Partners: Once you have narrowed down the size of the plant, the next step is to choose a plant that you personally like, because ultimately, you are adding a plant to your life. You can also consider placing them in random clusters of corner plant pots for an interesting plant area look.


• The Finishing Touches: Post getting the plant, you just need a few final touches, like adding a painting or two on the wall by the side of the plant. And that's it, you are done! You now have a perfect living corner that goes well with your room.


• Considerations For Corners That Are Not Well-Lit: My room has very low light. Will my plants survive in a corner? Yes, you can choose from a variety of plants that can do well in low light conditions, as long as you have a window in the room. You can choose from Snake Plant , English Ivy, ZZ Plant, Ficus, Syngonium, or even succulents (on a shelf).

Must-Have Corner Plants

While there are many plants that you can buy for your perfect corner, your choice depends on the size of the plant that you wish to grow. Let's get going on the list, starting with the most common plant for corners, the Rubber Plant:

• Rubber Plant: Rubber plant is an ideal tall corner plant for indoors because of its huge waxy leaves on an erect stalk that provide burgundy color. Rubber plants come in multiple variants and grow by about 2 to 3 feet every year. They can be trimmed to make a bushy version for the more spacious corners.


• Palms: There are many varieties of large indoor plants for corners like Palms that can grow well in medium indirect light. Chamaedorea and Areca Palms are the more common Palm varieties that can add an instant tropical vibe to your room. Chamaedorea is a very hardy plant that purifies and humidifies indoor air.


• Dracaena: There are many varieties of Dracaena that can be added to any corner spaces. These space-saving plants for corners can tolerate some neglect in India since they grow well in the Indian climate. Probably, when grown inside, these plants that thrive in low-light corners may reach a height of six feet with proper care and watering.


• Ti Plant: Cordyline Terminalis, commonly known as Mahatma or Ti Plant, is the best tall plant for bright2 corners. This fast-growing plant can reach up to 10 feet in height. Owing to its large leaves on a slender upright stem, it is a great fit for every corner. Just like rubber plants, Cordyline Terminalis adds a great burgundy color to your room.


• Schefflera: Commonly known as Umbrella Plant, Schefflera is a great fit for a spacious corner. We recommend at least a 1.5-foot by 1.5-foot space for a tall Schefflera plant, since it can grow up to 10 feet tall indoors. They add a great pattern of leaves to your corner and often become a topic of discussion in social gatherings. Also, they are fast growers adding about 3 feet per year.


• Philodendron Plants: Philodendrons are best plants for small corners, and there are many varieties that can brighten up your large corner as well. You can find large-leaf philodendrons, climbing philodendrons, bright neon philodendrons, and many other varieties. They can add a great texture to the corner and so are the best corner-friendly indoor plants that you should look at.


• Fiddle Leaf Fig: As the name suggests, these are fig plants can grow really tall. They have become a much-loved plant across the world for living space indoor décor. They are the best plants for living room corners since they like bright indirect light and can withstand moderate sun exposure. You can also place them closest to the window corner.


• Snake Plant: Talking about plants for corners, how can we not mention the hardiest plant of them all - Snake Plant. You can get a wide variety of Snake Plants that can be a direct addition to your corner. They add a great texture and are absolutely non-intrusive. If you are not sure which plant to buy for that corner, you are probably looking at buying a snake plant.


• Dieffenbachia: Known commonly as "Dumb Canes", they give you large leaves with green and white colors. Their hardiness (low light tolerance) makes them a great plant for corners. Remember that they need regular watering, and grow easily from cuttings.


• Syngoniums: Syngoniums are the best corner plant for shelves that require medium light to thrive. Since they do not grow very tall, it is best to place them on shelves or on top of planter stands. You can club a few different types of Syngoniums in the same pot and place them in the corner to add a multi-colored and bushy accent.


• Spider Plant: Just like Syngoniums, Spider plants should be kept on planter stands. They can also be hung from the ceiling. They produce multiple plantlets that hang on long stocks that tend to grow downwards, hence elevating the spider plants is a good idea. Spider plants are known for their resilience and are good to set up in the corners.


• Calathea: Calatheas are recognized globally as great indoor plants. Due to its ability to thrive in low light, it may be used to create a stylish corner plant arrangement. They are a great addition to Indian homes because they love tropical weather. Calatheas don't grow very tall, and so are ideally placed on stools or stands.

How to Care for Corner Plants

Consider the corner area and common issues (like low light, humidity, draining issues, etc.) while caring for corner-friendly indoor plants. Some of the following care guidelines for corner plants are mentioned below.

What to Adopt:

• To ensure your plant is healthy, examine its light, water, and humidity needs before choosing and placing.


• Most corner plants prefer indirect, bright light. However, if you have a dark location, choose low-light plants. Plants develop with light, but without it, they may become leggy.


• Rotate your corner plants to prevent leaning towards the light source and maintain even growth. Rotate them every 2–3 days. Along with providing them with adequate fertilisers and water, this is equally important.


• Water your corner plants properly. Follow their water content criteria. Let the soil dry out between waterings for most plants, but it varies by plant.


• Most indoor plants thrive at 70-80 F during the day and 65-70 F at night. Thus, keep plants away from drafts, vents, and radiators to avoid temperature swings.


• Tropical plants need the appropriate humidity. Clustering corner plants, using a humidifier, or placing a tray of water near them can achieve such conditions.


• Use a liquid, well-balanced fertiliser (monthly or every 90 days—based on plant species requirements) to feed your plants during the growing season. During their winter dormancy, avoid fertiliser application.


• Inspect your corner plants regularly for stress signs like yellowing foliage, drooping, or pests. Such issues must be addressed immediately to avoid further damage.


• Maintain cleanliness. Dust blocks sunlight from reaching the corner plant's energy factories—its leaves. To avoid dust and pests, wipe your plants' leaves with a damp cloth or sponge.

What to avoid:

• Overwatering plants is a major mistake. Many think giving corner plants lots of water will help. That's absolutely false. It causes root rot and other issues.


• Avoid direct sunlight (from the window) to corner plants that can scorch fragile leaves, therefore shield them with a curtain or keep them away from the sun.


• Avoid overcrowding the corner plants. Give corner plants enough space for airflow. If they don't, humidity might rise, which helps plant diseases develop.


• Neglecting to repot is another common mistake. Failure to reform can lead to rootbound corner plants, which require regular repotting into larger pots.
