Best Indoor Climbing Plants

Image
Let’s face it if you wanted to make your lovely mini garden to any space inside your home, climbing plants are the fastest way to achieve that. We love our rubber trees and fiddle leaf figs, but if you wanted a low-maintenance way to instantly add oomph to your kitchen, office, bed, or living room, the sprawling trailing house plants are the best way to go. There’s something about cascading, trailing plants on a shelf or an indoor climbing plant on a trellis that instantly adds texture to your indoor decor. They bring the beauty of the outdoors inside, they provide plenty of health benefits, they take up less floor space, and most of all, they are really easy to grow. The Best Indoor Climbing Plants 1. Bougainvillea You were probably not expecting to find this plant at the top of our list. When I started growing my own indoor vining and climbing plants, the Bougainvillea wasn’t on my list too.

Houseplants filter our air, raise the humidity in our environment, and add a touch of nature to our surroundings. However, not everyone has room to cultivate a fiddle leaf fig or an areca palm plant indoors. Grow one of these cute small indoor plants in a teacup, on a ledge, or anywhere you need a green boost. Baby Tears Everything about Soleirolia soleirolii is cute: the common name of baby tears elicits that "aww" reaction, and the myriad of tiny leaves gives character and charm to this easy houseplant. Grow baby tears in a small terrarium or under a glass cloche in bright filtered sunlight to give this small plant the humidity it craves to stay lush.

 Make crowded shelves and tabletops a thing of the past by hanging your houseplants from your ceilings and walls. These varieties with trailing stems, dangling leaves, and gracefully arching shapes make the best use of your home's vertical spaces. English Ivy Also known as common ivy, English ivy (Hedera helix) is grown for its lush, glossy foliage both indoors and out in the garden.  It's one of the best indoor plants for low light but it will grow more full in brighter light. It comes in a number of varieties that offer different leaf shapes and colors.   Baby's Tears This small houseplant gets its name from the tiny round leaves that line its delicate, trailing stems. Baby’s tears (Pilea depressa) will grow quickly, draping over a hanging planter like a living curtain.   Burro's Tail Rows of small, plump leaves on cascading stems make burro’s tail (Sedum morganianum) one of the most unique succulents to grow indoors. This low-maintenance and drought-tolerant house...
