The Evo Apartments in St. Petersburg, Florida, offer residents a resort-like experience with a lap pool with immersed sun shelves and a view of the mountains of the stunning city. These apartments have floor-to-ceiling windows that make it easy to grow an indoor garden. The balconies are also large enough to facilitate an outdoor herb and spice garden.
Picking the Best Plants for your Home
The best plants for your desert apartment will be the ones that are self-watering plants. These include:
- Aloe Vera, which only needs to be watered monthly
- Bamboo, which can go months without watering
- Spider Plants are best hanging from a basket in direct sun in front of a window
- Snake Plant, which can go weeks without watering and tolerate low light
- Succulents, which need low light and can go months without being watered
Where to Place Your Plants for Your Aesthetic
Sometimes you can’t dictate where your plants go; most simply thrive best in direct light. Looking at wilting or browning plants is not aesthetic, so find spots in your abode that suit the plant’s health. Some plants can do with less light, so you have more options to set them in the center of the room in cascading baskets or on plant stands. You can also buy stairs or steps for placing plants attractively on levels. One plant in the center of your butcher block or granite counter also looks nice.
Apartment Trends For Plants
There are two main apartment trends when it comes to plants. You can either have a jungle-like assemblage of tropical plants. Plants can grow thick enough to double duty as room dividers if the plants are palms. However, the most popular trend for those who like modern low-maintenance decor is a still-life created from small cactuses and rocks.
