So ‘Plantiful’ So Lovely

A plant is a great decorative element for an apartment. Take advantage of unused space by placing an aloe plant in a windowsill. Aloes don’t require much watering (good if your always on the go) and also thrives in the Sun. Make sure to only put a plant in a windowsill that can handle a lot of sunlight – typically flowering plants rather then big leafy ones. Put your plant where you have shorter window treatments, like Roman or Bamboo shades.  Bonus: Getting an aloe is also a natural way to treat sun burns – you can  pull off a leaf and open it to use the Aloe on your skin.

If lighting is a problem in your chateau, get a plant that doesn’t need much of it, like a Bamboo Palm or Chinese Evergreen (pictured above).

Simple Plant Tips:

• Water in the morning.
• Not sure if it needs watering?  Stick your finger  about an inch into the soil.  Moist = No need. 
• Misting a plant with a spray bottle wards off insects.

You will quickly fall in love with the feeling a plant adds to a room – Just don’t overwhelm your space with too many.
