Clever houseplants you can’t kill

March 18, 2015

Flora Indoor Japanese Fan Palm print

Perhaps because spring is finally on the horizon, I’ve been actively pinning to my Flowers board on Pinterest. Interestingly, most of my recent pins have been of houseplants. (Maybe it’s time to change the name to Plants and Flowers?)

I say “interestingly” because our house in Omaha was conspicuously void of living plants. I love how fiddle leaf fig trees, snake plants, and potted houseplants of all sizes bring a natural vibe to a space, but I never trusted myself not to kill them.

We actually had two small potted plants on display — one in the living room and one in the basement — but they were both artificial plants from IKEA. Totally cheesy, I know. I just wanted the look of houseplants without any the maintenance or the risk.

When we move into our new place (whenever/wherever that may be), my goal is to transform my brown thumb into a green thumb, or some in-between shade of tan. Until that happens, though, I think I found the perfect compromise between live and artificial houseplants: clean, colorful prints of real plants from Flora.

The Barcelona-based online shop offers “a better way to love plants eternally” with poster-size photos of actual houseplants and flowers. They call their prints “the best thing since plastic flowers,” but I’d call them the next-best thing to live greenery.

Granted, they can’t improve the air quality in your home, but you never have to water them, they take up little space, and they can survive in the shadows.

I’d happily display the Kentia or Zanzibar prints in my kitchen, above my desk, or maybe even a bathroom. I also really like the Roses print, which is surprising because I don’t care much for roses in real life!

Let’s talk about houseplants in the comments below. Have you successfully kept any alive, or do you have a gardening aversion like me? What do you think about these Flora Indoor posters?

    I recently got a pot of mixed succulents from Terrain for my office. The have done shockingly well — they have grown and one of them put out a yellow flower. Which I didn’t know it could do. I love the way they look and I only water them about every two weeks.

      Did you go to the Terrain store in PA or did you order them online?

Day 12 | No photos from today (well none worth sharing) because I sat in front of my laptop from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. working on deadline. My busy work day also meant that my kids didnt get very much of my attention. My husband kept them occupied for some of the day but I dont think they got any schoolwork done. Oh well we all deserve a lazy day every once in a while. I know I do! | So whats this photo? Just some of the amazing birthday presents I received from my friends this weekend! (Dont worrDay 11 | Emotions have been running high the past two days and everyone has a short fuse. Asa had a full-on temper tantrum because he didnt want to color his drawing of a rainbow and nearly lost his cool while practicing Typing Club. I wish I could do more educational activities with them like taking alphabet walks and tallying up different items around the house but Im totally overwhelmed with a huge deadline this week. In fact I had to keep working after the kids went to bed and now its nearlyC-Quarantine Day 8 | Ive felt anxious many days this past week but today was the first day I had the blues. Not sad about anything specific. Just ... sad. Cabin fever? Exhaustion? We decided to get out of the house to look at the cherry blossoms in Bethesda. The Kenwood neighborhood was quiet so we parked and walked down a side street keeping our distance from the few other people out and about.
