Create your own green jungle!

You know, if you have seen my other posts, what the advantages of green plants in your house are. You will get a better indoor climate with clean air and a better humidity. The psychological results are also very good. You will have less stress and will sleep better with a plant in your room.

I walk very often in a garden center or a super market and see the plants for sale. You could buy them but why not grow them yourself? That is way more fun and you will learn everything about the plants. And it safes you a lot of money.

You don't need much to grow your own indoor plants. You need water, some soil and plastic. Offcourse you need the right plant, because you cannot grow every plant yourself. Some names of plants who are really easy to grow yourself are: Chlorophytum, Epipremnum, Pilea, Hedera and Monstera. These plants are all green/decorative plants.

The cuttings of a Chlorophytum

The cuttings to grow your own plants are cut from a 'mother-plant'. That's what you see at the image. Once you pot this in the ground with some water they will get roots in a week. You can do some plastic around the potplant to make the process go even quicker. After the potting you have to keep watering the plants and in a few weeks you will have a very nice green plant, that will filter your indoor air!

So next time that you see some nice green plants, grow them yourself! It is very easy to do!:)
