We spend a lot of time in our bedrooms. This is why it only makes sense that we add healthy and relaxing pieces to it.
And what’s the best way to do that? With plants, of course!
Research shows that plants help clear out the air of toxins.
As a result, you feel less stressed and can be more creative in the space. But with a myriad of houseplant options available, it can get confusing to find the ideal one.
The trick with deciding which plants are good is to identify those that are healthy.
Moreover, find those plants that can enable the room to look more aesthetic and cozier. Here are our top picks of the best plants for bedrooms.
Snake Plant
One of the most popular houseplants is the snake plant, also called the Sansevieria. It’s perfect for bedrooms as well because it does not require too much light or water.
In fact, it can live on for years without water. Thus this is the ideal plant for new plant owners or those without a green thumb.
Moreover, the dramatic, sword-like leaves on the plant make it a striking addition to the room.
Lastly, the low-maintenance plant helps clear out toxins in the room as well.
It is one of the few plants that filter out oxygen during the night. Thus you get health and aesthetic with the snake plant in your room!
Heart Leaf Philodendron
Another long-lasting and low-maintenance plant from our list is the heartleaf philodendron.
It requires moderate light and not a lot of water.
The plant can survive you for years with minimal care requirements. The heart-shaped green leaves on it also make it an aesthetic sight in your room.
However, the heartleaf philodendron is toxic, so make sure it’s out of reach of pets and children.
We recommend placing this plant on your dresser or nightstand to give the perfect pop of green.
English Ivy
You can place this beautiful ivy plant in a shared pot with other plants.
However, it looks the most beautiful when placing in a hanging pot. The English ivy requires moderate sunlight during summers but bright light during winters.
It also does require regular watering, unlike the former two plants on our list.
The English Ivy is a very healthy addition to your room.
This is because it rids the room of toxins such as animal feces. Therefore, you can rest assured that your room will be clean while aesthetic simultaneously.
Golden Pothos (Money Plant)
Much like the heartleaf philodendron, the golden pothos also has similar-shaped leaves.
It also requires minimal maintenance. The plant needs moderate sunlight and regular watering.
What sets the plant apart from others is its ability to rid the room of toxins. With golden pothos, your room will always be fresh and clean.
This is the perfect plant for anyone who doesn’t have an experienced green thumb.
But you must make sure that the plant dries out completely in between watering.
Spider Plant
Another plant that is quite beneficial for the bedroom is a spider plant.
This is because it purifies the room and rids it of toxins.
Not only that, but these plants have long and arch-shaped leaves that protrude outwards. They are perfect for hanging pots you can set up.
Initially, the plant does not require much watering, but after a year, you will need to water it regularly.
Moreover, it requires moderate to bright light throughout the year in order to grow.
Rubber Plant
The rubber plant will definitely catch the attention of anyone entering your room.
With large, shiny, and beefy leaves pouring out of the pot, this plant is an eye-catcher. You will need to keep the plant moist at all times. But water it only when the soil is dry to touch.
Moreover, to ensure it grows larger, you’ll need to keep it in bright sunlight as well.
The rubber plant has sticky saps on the leaves, which is where it gets its name.
That is why you will need to wear gardening gloves while pruning it.
Gardenia
Though a bit on the higher maintenance side, the gardenia plant is still a great choice.
All the efforts to care for it will definitely be worth your while.
It is a beautiful plant that blooms gorgeous white blossoms. If you keep the plant in your room, it will smell amazing. The whole room will be filled with the light, sweet smell of the blossoms.
Moreover, research also shows that keeping this plant helps relieve anxiety.
It also ensures better sleep throughout the night since it purifies the air of toxins.
So, really, it’s a win-win. You get to have a gorgeous plant in your room and enjoy its benefits!
Peace Lily
Similar to the gardenia plant is the peace lily.
It blossoms beautiful white flowers that give the plant a luxurious look. To care for this plant, you’ll need to water it regularly. Make sure that the soil stays moist at all times.
Additionally, you will also have to give it plenty of indirect sunlight.
The peace lily is an excellent addition to your room because it purifies the air and cleans it.
It also absorbs toxins like acetone from the air. However, keep it away from pets and children because the plant is poisonous.
Areca Palm
This is a tropical plant with large, lush leaves that will make any room look lively.
Place the plant in the corner of a room, and it will look gorgeous.
The Areca plant is not just great for looks, though. The plant can purify the air and even absorb all the carbon monoxide in the room.
The Areca plant needs bright indirect sunlight in order to grow and flourish. You will also need to water the plant regularly to keep the soil moist.
Aloe Vera
The Aloe Vera is famous for the gel it produces that’s used for many things.
It can be used to treat scars and burns or in homemade face masks. But that’s not the only reason why this plant is excellent for the bedroom.
They are quite low maintenance and can go up to three weeks without water.
Moreover, the Aloe Vera plant produces oxygen during the night leading to better sleep for you. It will definitely help relieve stress and create a peaceful environment in the room.
Boston Fern
The Boston Fern has bright, green, and arching leaves that look lovely.
They are classic houseplants that can be placed in your room. However, the Boston Fern is a bit of a diva. They require regular maintenance like misting with water every day.
You will also need to keep them in indirect sunlight at all times.
Moreover, they shed their leaves frequently, so you might need to clean up after them. But besides that, these plants can be a classical, stunning addition to the room.
Rosemary
Who doesn’t want a beautiful plant that smells great in their rooms?
A rosemary plant will not just do that but also provide you with herbs.
If you cook yourself, this can be a valuable addition to your room. You will need to keep the plant in direct, bright sunlight at all times. It would be great by the window.
Additionally, you’ll need to water the plant only when the soil becomes dry. Turn the pot around regularly, so the plant grows evenly.
Monstera
You might have seen this plant in aesthetic pictures on Pinterest or Instagram. Monstera is also known as the Swiss cheese plant for obvious reasons.
This glossy beauty can be a great addition to the room because of how lovely it looks. Not just that, but it’s also relatively easy to look after.
You won’t need to put this plant in direct sunlight but will need to water it regularly.
Keep it away from the reach of animals as well because the foliage might irritate them.
Parlor Palm
Similar to the Areca Palm is the Parlor Palm. It also has large, lush, and green leaves.
The parlor palm is definitely a more dramatic houseplant that instantly gives personality to a room. However, it can be a bit difficult to look after.
The plant needs constant direct sunlight, and the soil needs to be moistened at all times. But we assure you that the efforts would be worthwhile.
Lavender
Though not exactly the ideal indoor plant, lavender can be a pretty addition to a room.
You can place it on the bedside table, and the room will smell pleasant. However, the plant will not last forever indoors. You will need to give it direct sunlight for a few hours every day.
Moreover, water it when the soil becomes slightly dry. But make sure you don’t overwater the plant, or it’ll rot.
Final Words
These were all the different plants that will be perfect for your bedroom.
With any indoor plant, care and regular maintenance are necessary. Those plants that don’t require direct sunlight will be perfect for bedrooms.
