Usneoides (air plant)
650 MDL
Spanish moss, also commonly known as Old Man’s Beard, is a tropical evergreen epiphytic perennial native to tropical America. Its latin name is Tillandsia usneoides. The name ‘Spanish Moss’ is a misnomer as this plant is neither Spanish nor a moss. It is a bromeliad, and the name has nothing to do with where it comes from. The beauty, non-toxicity and easy care of air plants are attracting more and more people to start their collections.
Since it likes relatively humid conditions, growing it in a light, bright bathroom or kitchen can be ideal – but Spanish moss can also thrive in other parts of your home as long as you make sure it gets the humidity and moisture it needs. When watering, ensure that water does not collect between the leaves, as this can cause them to rot. It is a good idea to tilt the plant slightly downwards or shake it gently after watering to avoid waterlogging.
The plant does not require a pot as it does not need soil. However, you can choose a pot for decorative purposes or for another plant.

English ivy (Hedera helix variegata) is one of the most common ivy species and the most widely grown. It is very easy to grow, both in pots and as an ornamental outdoor plant. You’ve probably noticed it on the outside of buildings and houses that look like entrances to a secret botanical world.
Potted ivy requires much less water. Before watering, check the consistency of the substrate, which should be loose but dry on the surface. Be careful not to overwater. For optimal lighting, position the plant near a window to ensure it receives abundant light without direct exposure. Poor lighting can reduce the number of leaves and cause them to discolour.
Indoors, it can be placed on a shelf or taller plant stand to allow it to create that eye-catching cascade of creamy white variegated green leaves. It tends to grow vigorously, providing quick results for those who want to transform their room or garden in a short space of time.

From aromatherapy to floral arrangements, there are many ways to enjoy eucalyptus. Eucalyptus plants thrive indoors as decorative shrubs with aromatic, fragrant leaves. They are not overly demanding, but a few guidelines will ensure optimum care.
Plant the eucalyptus in a large, conical pot for easy transplanting outdoors. Although resistant to drought, potted eucalyptus will dry out more quickly than in the garden. Be sure to water thoroughly until excess water drains away; good drainage is essential as eucalyptus does not tolerate waterlogged soil.
If you’re growing eucalyptus indoors, place the pot near a south-facing window so it gets plenty of sunlight. Regular pruning is necessary due to its rapid growth.
