Summer has flown by and before we know it fall will be here, followed by the cold, dreary winter. Although the lush greenery that is thriving outside will soon begin to fade away for the season, you can bring the green indoors with these plants perfect for indoor living:
Bromeliad:
Coming in a variety of sizes and colors, Bromeliads are known for having thick leaves and red flowering spikes that bloom only once during their life-span. With proper watering, these plants will stick around for quite a while. Avoid over-watering or the plant will suffer from root rot, but make sure to keep an eye on how damp the soil is, otherwise this beautiful plant can quickly begin to dry out. This species will thrive best when placed in sunny rooms with indirect sunlight.

With its larger size and artistic shape, this plant has quickly become a designer favorite, and for good reason. Thriving in indirect sunlight and in temperatures above 55 degrees, the Fiddle Leaf Fig Tree can grow up to 8 feet tall! For maintence, if the top layer of soil is dry but the layers beneath are moist, then this tree is in great shape!
