How To Grow Zero Maintenance Houseplants

Plants are great additions to any interior – not only visually stimulating, but houseplants add to the freshness and vibrancy of any home. Now imagine being able to take out all the maintenance and hard work that goes into growing a houseplant. Here we show you some easy ways to grow zero maintenance plants you’ll love.

The key to successfully growing plants is that your plants require a mix of minerals, sunlight and water in order to thrive. If you can add all these essential minerals to your plant’s water, then you can eliminate a plant’s need for soil in order to grow. We call this growing plants hydroponically and it is revolutionising the ways in which we are creating indoor gardens.

The good news is that just about any plant can be grown using hydroponics. Some good indoor plants for water “planting” may include any of the following:

• Chinese evergreen (Aglaonemas)
• Dumbcane (Dieffenbachia)
• English ivy.
• Philodendron.
• Moses-in-a-cradle (Rhoeo)
• Pothos.
• Wax plant.
• Arrowhead.

There are a number of reasons why people choose to grow plants using hydroponics and these include:

• Faster growth, bigger yields and more control of the growing conditions of your plants.
• No soil so pet-friendly and less maintenance than a soil garden.
• No weeds – because no soil.
• Space saving – grow what you need in a vase of water.
• Less diseases and pests.

You will need a hydroponics system in place in order to ensure your plant growth.
