Plant life in your San Antonio apartment is not just about aesthetics or making your living space look good. Indoor plants can do so much more. For example, did you know that plants can help to increase your IAQ or indoor air quality? It’s true. Plants can actually work as an air filter inside your apartment. Here’s a quick guide to gardening and plant life in and around your San Antonio apartment.
Patio Plants Help You to Make the Most of Your Outdoor Space
If you’re new to San Antonio, then you’ve likely been told how hot and arid it can get during peak summer months. If you’re opting for patio plants, then you will want to choose a species that can survive the heat. Consider herbs such as basil, mint or rosemary. These plants do quite well in small pots.
Vegetables and flowers are also great options for adding a bit of color and variety. Of course, Texas knows its fair share of succulents and cacti so you can’t go wrong there. These low maintenance plants adore the full Texas sun.
Go Green with These Low-Maintenance Indoor Plants
If you’re looking to add a touch of greenery to your indoor space, then you might consider a few low maintenance options. Sansevieria, known as the Snake Plant, is notoriously hard to kill. Just add a touch of water here and there and this specimen does very well in low light situations.
While it’s not exactly named for the legendary Texas band ZZ Top, the ZZ plant is also an excellent survivor when it comes to thriving in your indoor space. Pothos and Peace Lily are also winners as they are easy to care for and both are known for improving the air quality in your San Antonio apartment.
A Place for Humidity Loving Plants
If you’re looking to place greenery in your San Antonio Apartment bathroom, keep an eye out for plants that love humidity. The Boston Fern needs consistent moisture and loves a humid space. Orchids and Calathea also thrive in these spaces with a little care.
Caring for Those Indoor Plants
Here are a few last-minute tips when it comes to caring for your potted plants. Avoid placing plants near any direct flow from an air conditioner. This will have a de-humidifying effect on both the soil and leaves. Also, use well-draining pots to prevent rot and be sure to mist a little here and there, especially for those humidity lovers who require a little more moisture during the drier months.
