The conservatory has become one of the most popular types of home additions. What makes it so appealing? A primary reason is its ability to bridge the gap between the indoors and outside. With plenty of sunlight and a controlled climate, these nature-inspired spaces are the perfect place to add some greenery to any home.
The right plants can add character, warmth and visual appeal to your space. They can even help keep your indoor air quality levels higher. The key is choosing plants that will offer benefits with a level of maintenance you are comfortable giving your plants.
5 Eye-Catching Houseplants for Your Private Conservatory
Do you want a couple of plants for your conservatory? Or is the space going to blossom and bloom with greenery? Whatever your decision, be sure to check out these top planting picks:
- Succulents: Succulents like aloe, agave, echeveria and cacti crave lots of sun. You won’t have to water these houseplants often, and they’ll bring a feeling of calm beauty to your home.
- Palm trees: You don’t have to fly to a tropical paradise to see palm trees if you have a conservatory. Just look for smaller palm plants like the butterfly palm or Kentia palm. Move them around to find the ideal spot, as not all palms like to be in direct sunlight all day long.
- Lemon trees: This mini tree species makes a fantastic addition to any sunroom, solarium, greenhouse or conservatory. Lemon trees can bloom each year, and some types bloom twice annually. When they do, they fill the air with a delightful citrus aroma.
- African violets: Looking for a pop of drama? African violets always fit the bill. Featuring rich purple or pink blooms, they’re a natural way to liven up your home with color.
- Fig trees: Though their origins are far from Maryland, fig trees grow nicely in the warmth of conservatories. Even if your conservatory faces north and gets less sun exposure, you can usually trust a fig tree to remain consistently green and lush.
