I have a Marble Queen Pothos in our home, which is a stark white and green variety of Devil’s Ivy. It grows fast, so it is an ideal plant for higher shelves to create a cascading green effect, or to frame the top of a bookcase. Read my article on the Snake Plant to learn more about this incredibly low maintenance succulent.Īlso known as Golden Pothos, the Devils’ Ivy is not only one of the best indoor plants for beginners, it’s one of the most beautiful trailing plants for shelves. The only negative aspect about any Snake Plant is its toxicity if ingested by humans and pets. It adapts to any humidity condition your home may have. It requires very little watering it is actually important to let its soil dry out between waterings. The Bird’s Nest Snake Plant can thrive in bright, indirect light areas, as well as in areas with moderate light conditions. Native to the tropical regions of West Africa, this plant is also an excellent air purifier.

The Bird’s Nest Snake Plant, like many other varieties of Snake Plant, is a virtually impossible to kill houseplant!

Plants on shelves are great at breaking the monotony of a series of books, or simply at adding interest and flare at a boring shelf filled with objects without real meaning.

Some people fill their shelves and bookcases with books, others with collections of objects. There are also plants for every part of the home like empty, high corners, kitchens, bathrooms, coffee tables, and shelves of course! There are plants for every function of the home, for every home type, style and environment, and for every person’s lifestyle. Indoor plants are known for their many benefits from improving our mood, to cleaning the air from toxins, from increasing productivity, to boosting creativity, and so on…Īs an Interior Designer, I appreciate how indoor plants tremendously enhance the look of any space.
