Being in nature is good for the soul, so it’s no wonder that many people delight in filling their homes with all things green & lush 🍃

So, what are the best indoor plants for Australian homes – which ones can thrive with a little extra TLC?

1- Swish Cheese Plant – Monstera Deliciosa 🌿

Is one of the best large indoor plants for Australia.
Being from the tropics, Monstera can benefit from being a bathroom plant, soaking up all the mist after your shower.

2- Devi’s Ivy – Epipremnum Aureum 🌱

It’s a good indoor plant for Australia since it’s known for being rather hard to kill – it’s actually considered a weed in some tropical areas.
This makes Devil’s Ivy a good house plant, since it’s quite hardy and only requires watering when the soil feels dry – just be sure to keep it in bright (though not direct) sunlight and your ivy should happily thrive.

3- String of Pearls – Curio Rowleyanus 🍃

Native to South-West Africa, this highly ornamental plant grows special leaves around the size and shape of peas.
These pretty plants require indirect sunlight and well-drained soil, so whatever vessel you choose to place your string of pearls in, make sure it has plenty of holes in the base.

4- Peace Lily – Spathiphyllum 🌾

Popular not only due to its graceful, spade-shaped flowers but also its air-purifying qualities, the peace lily has been a popular indoor plant in Australia for many generations.
Please note: This plant is extremely toxic to cats. We do not recommend cat-owners keep this plant anywhere in their home. 🐱

5- Mother-In-Law’s Tongue – Sansevieria 🌱

Also known as the snake plant, Mother-in-law’s tongue originates in South Africa and Asia. This low-maintenance house plant makes for a good indoor plant in Australia, being a succulent that prefers to be dry rather than damp.
