This holiday season, if you got use to having a tree in your home and now your Christmas tree is left void, you might try replacing it with a large house plant. After all, having one of these big guys around cannot only improve the beauty of our homes and offices but it can actually purify the air. This is probably the best known of the indoor trees. It’s a Ficus and there’s a reason, it’s so popular they’re tough and easy to grow.
Easy that is, if you get the conditions right and don’t change them. You see this plant likes consistency. But you can always count on it to loose its leaves. If you change its location or if you allow the roots to become dry. However, plant breeders have come up with this new variety of Ficus from Europe called the Monique and it’s proven to be more taller and of extreme change and as a result, it hardly loses any leaves.
To keep your Ficus healthy and vibrant like this one, it’s best to give indirect light so don’t push it directly into the window. Also, keep the soil consistently moist. Now there are many other large plants besides this one you can consider. The dresina or dragon tree makes a striking easy to care for a house plant. And for a look that’s more robust and leafy, you might consider the Schefflera. And these days, if you don’t have a room for a large standard Schefflera, you might try one of these new compact varieties. You see, there are a lot of beautiful ways to keep a tree indoors all year long. And feel the void left by your Christmas tree. From the garden, I’m Allen Smith.
