5 Best Plants for your Basement

 

Plants are the most popular form of home decor. No matter what your home looks like, there is a type of plant that can match your decor. However, caring for plants can become a challenge if your space can't meet the requirements. Your basement, most likely, meets the requirements for the following plants to thrive year-round! 

 

Spider Plants

Despite the creepy crawler name, these plants are a fun and beautiful addition to your basement. These plants are perfect for low-light areas with high humidity. And soon enough, your spider plant can produce smaller sprouts or “baby” spider plants.

 

Pothos

A common houseplant is a pothos! With many different variegations and sizes, there are many options for you to choose from. Low light is not a problem when it comes to these plants. Even the high humidity of your basement will cause your pothos to grow long vines all year round!

 

Bird’s Nest Fern

High humidity is a great friend to any fern. The bird’s nest fern doesn't only love high humidity but does not need much light. Placing this in any indirectly lit area will help this plant thrive.

 

Chinese Evergreen

Dark basements are perfect for Chinese evergreens. Low light rooms are an ideal place for these plants to be to produce new leaves.

 

Peace Lily

The peace lily is known for being a sensitive plant and prefers a specific living environment. However, a basement is a great place for a peace lily to live in! High humidity and low light are ideal conditions for this plant.

 

You're probably wondering why all of these plants are for high humidity rooms. Basements hold much more humidity than other rooms in your home. In fact, the humidity levels in your basement might even be too high for these plants to fully thrive. Not only will these plants decline, but some parts of your home might endure damages due to high humidity. How can we fix that?
