Take up very little space: the best houseplants for a small home

If you live in a small apartment, this is not a reason to deny yourself the pleasure of having a small green space. There are many wonderful plants that do not take up much space, but at the same time make your interior more cozy and stylish.

Homes and Gardens told us which compact and low-maintenance plants to choose to add freshness and life to your interior without losing precious space.

Common Groundsel

Hanging plants save space and are perfect for small rooms.

Common Groundsel is an elegant succulent with delicate beaded leaves. It does not require much care and can be pruned to fit into the interior.

Fittonia

This small plant loves moisture, so the perfect place for it is the bathroom window sill.

Fittonia tends to grow an average of 15 cm in height, but you can prune it at any time.

Air plants

These unusual plants don't need soil to delight the eye with their beauty.

They are usually tiny and come in many different shapes, textures and colors.

However, just because a plant doesn't grow out of the ground doesn't mean it doesn't need to be cared for. They also need to be properly watered. In addition, they need air circulation and the required temperature.

Tradescantia

These impressive houseplants are loved for their particularly attractive leaves in purple and green. They like sunlight but also adapt well to shade, so you can keep them anywhere.

However, despite the fact that Tradescantia are quite compact, they grow quite quickly.

Boston fern

Ferns are a great addition to green spaces due to their texture, interesting shape, and ability to purify the air. The Boston fern is ideal for small spaces.

You can prune it if it grows too big. And the only care the plant needs is a little water and indirect sunlight.

Calathea Rattlesnake

This plant has thin leaves with wavy edges and a bright spotted pattern.

Calatheas are more difficult to care for because their leaves quickly change color or curl if they don't get enough sunlight or moisture.

However, the beauty of this plant is worth a little more effort.
