This newfound obsession with indoor plants and trees has the UK bringing character and colour to all of the home. And, not only do they have incredible health benefits, but they also work as the perfect aspirational Instagram image. So, no matter what size of house you have there will be an indoor plant or tree that will make you feel right at home…
The benefits of having indoor plants
Studies found that having plants in your home can help to lower the heart rate, blood pressure, and improve respiratory problems. Not only this, but they can also help you feel relaxed and happy, which might sound a little cheesy but it’s true. For indoor plant lovers, often just standing appreciating just how much they’ve grown can spark joy. It can be a welcome distraction to the hustle and bustle of everyday life. And, in an increasingly busy world where we stare at devices for long lengths of time, caring for plants is respite.
Now we know the benefits, next is knowing what types of plants to keep indoors. There are many different species, depending on where and what size you prefer. One of the most beautiful and popular plants is Agave. They’re super easy to grow indoors, provided you give them the warmth and sunlight they need. Also, they need very little water and food, so they’re very low maintenance.

Creating an indoor oasis
Another great benefit of Agave is the fact they’re slow growing so won’t need re-potting. Another popular choice for an indoor plant is the olive tree, with beautiful blue/green leaves and romantic charm they act as the perfect house plant. They thrive indoors as well as outside when the warmer weather arrives, making them a very adaptable houseplant. And they can bring a sprinkle of sunnier climes into our daily lives.
