You can put plants on shelves, mantels, and coffee tables, and I love hanging them too. Spider plants, pothos, and hanging vines are great for this room since they are such prominent reminders of growth and thriving. When plants are quick to grow new leaves, this effect multiples. I’ve found that snake plants, in particular, are an excellent low-maintenance option, and mine have grown to over 3.5 feet tall. It’s so energizing to see these guys stretching toward the ceiling. One final note: Always look up a plant’s needs before purchasing to make sure it will be able to thrive in your home given the lighting, humidity, etc. And be sure to make sure they aren’t poisonous for your pets, as many common houseplants are not pet-friendly. Explore what’s local to jump-start your indoor garden or expand your current collection. You’ll feel the magnetic, uplifting, inspiring shift instantly with every plant that enters your home!
