Love having plants at home as part of your decor? Here’s a quick guide to keeping them happy and looking good!
- Choosing the Right Plants
For maximum green impact, opt for bright green foliage like Monstera deliciosa or Pothos to enhance visual impact. For an exotic touch, consider Calatheas or Snake plants. In our experience, these are easy plants that grow well indoors, especially in Singapore.
- Proper Planting for Longevity
Plant health requires careful planting. Use a liner with drainage holes to prevent root rot. Generally, a well-draining potting mix of peat, perlite, and compost retains moisture while promoting aeration. Tip:- Use a saucer plate below your plant pot to prevent water from draining all over the floor.
- Balancing Light and Water
Understanding your plants’ light and water needs is essential. Place your plant and planter in bright, indirect light so that it receives enough life but yet does not get burnt. Check soil moisture regularly; if the top inch is dry, it’s time to water. Be sure also not to overwater, too much moisture in our climate often leads to fungus and rot, especially for indoor plants.
- Maximizing Aesthetic Appeal
Your planter is a design element that can enhance your plants. Position it near neutral-colored furniture or windows to highlight its features. For a visual impact, group several planters of varying heights, mixing plants of different heights and textures for a dynamic arrangement.

- Enhancing Airflow for Healthy Growth
In a tropical environment, maintaining good airflow around your plants is vital for their health. Proper airflow helps prevent mold and pests, which can thrive in humid conditions. Position your planters in a space where it receives gentle breezes or near a fan to ensure that air circulates freely. Elevating your plants in planters such as our BROOK Planters also creates space for air to circulate beneath and around each plant. By enhancing airflow, you can help your plants stay healthy and vibrant at home.
