If your bedroom has a window, situating the peace lily nearby will increase the production of white flower-like spathes, which endure for weeks. If your room is somewhat dark and blooming seems unlikely, choose a peaceful lily variety like ‘Domino’ with its white variegated foliage to brighten up low-light environments. Thriving in all light situations, the trailing vines of English ivy look attractive in hanging baskets or draped over a side table. Plants do fine with little watering and will survive a week-long vacation without a hiccup. You don’t have to deal with messy dropped leaves or complicated pruning with the snake plant; just water it every couple of weeks. Make sure you plant it in a container with adequate drainage holes, as the snake plant will rot in standing water. Although its name suggests otherwise, the corn plant is poisonous and should not be around nibbling pets or curious children. Gerber daisies are pampered and coddled in greenhouse conditions that just can’t be replicated in a typical bedroom setting. However, it’s worth $5 to have a plant with such perfect, vibrant blooms bring its cheer to your bedside table. While it lasts, it will even do a great job of removing trace organic pollutants from the air. Fiddle leaf figs thrive in the shady understory of the jungle, but indirect light from an east-facing window helps these plants thrive. Set your fiddle leaf fig on a plate of pebbles filled with water to increase the humidity in the plant’s vicinity. In short, the fiddle leaf fig likes everything in moderation, including light, water, and temperature. Too much or too little of these elements will cause your plant to struggle. Spider plants do well in many light conditions with average moisture. If leaf tips turn brown, collect rainwater to irrigate your spider plants as they are sensitive to the fluoride in tap water.
