Rinne mé dearmaid uisce a thabhairt go dtí ceann amháin de na magairlíní. Fuair na cinn eile ar fad uisce agus solas agus leann siad ar aghaidh ag fás.
ACH rinne mé dearmaid uisce a thabhirt go dtí ceann dóibh agus thosaigh sé ag troimiú amach. Ní raibh an dath chomh geal is a bhí sé roimhe.
Is léir nach féidir le plandaí maireachtáil gan uisce.

Our edit of the best indoor plants will help you to extend the greenery from your garden into the home, bringing all the health and mood-boosting benefits of nature into your interior.

The wellbeing enhancing benefits of plants are well-documented, from studies which show hospital patients heal faster when they have a view of greenery whilst they recover, to research showing a significant increase in care home resident's happiness levels when given a house plant to care for.

As if making us healthier and happier wasn't enough, the best indoor plants also create a feel-good visual focal point in a room. They can bring vibrant 'aliveness' into our man-made spaces, providing plenty of green - the colour known for its restful, relaxing psychological properties - and of course, for those of us who have small courtyard or balcony gardens, indoor plants offer the perfect way to maximise our plant-growing space.

Inspired to create your own oxygen-boosting indoor garden ideas? Read on to discover the best indoor plants for your home.

The best indoor plants for a greener interior

The peace lily or Spathiphyllum is recognisable for its dark green glossy leaves and contrasting white teardrop-shaped flowers. The peace lily is tolerant of shade, easy to look after, and best of all it's one of the best indoor plants for air purification earning the top all-round results in NASA's Clean Air Study, removing high quantities of formaldehyde, benzene, trichloroethylene, xylene, toluene and ammonia from the home.
How do you care for a peace lily?
The peace lily is top of our list because it's one of the best low maintenance indoor plants. Unlike other plants where you might need to guess when you should water, the peace lily is incredibly helpful at communicating its needs by drooping dramatically when it requires water. But don't worry, a quick hydrate and it will soon perk back up again.
Where should I place a peace lily in my house?
Most plants release oxygen during the day, but the peace lily is one of a small number of indoor plants which continue to release oxygen at night - making it a great indoor plant for the bedroom. However, as a fantastic all-rounder, the peace lily will be happy almost anywhere in the house. It's especially useful for rooms that don't get huge amounts of light, like bathrooms or hallways, and as it's happy in shadier spots it will still be content in trickier north or east-facing rooms.

As well being one of the best indoor plants for adding a touch of the tropical to your interior, the parlour palm or Chamaedorea elegans has great aesthetic value with elegant arching leaf stems and an impressive freestanding habit which will add height to an interior; group several different sizes together to create a verdant display.

The parlour palm prefers bright indirect light but as long as it has a spot out of the shade it makes an easy-to-care-for indoor plant. And for pet owners - seeing as its swaying fronds can be particularly appealing to cats - the good news is it's non-toxic.
How do you look after for a parlour palm?
Hailing from tropical climates, the parlour palm prefers it warm and humid, so it will thank you for a light misting on top of your regular watering, and for keeping it away from cold draughts, or too close to radiators where it will dry out. Find it a comfortable spot and it will grow happily for many years though.
How long does a parlour palm take to grow?
The parlour palm can reach heights of up to 150cm in maturity, but it's slow-growing, so it won't outgrow your home too quickly. This does mean larger plants can be expensive - after all they've taken years of care to grow that tall - but smaller specimens are usually very affordable if you have patience.

The flamingo lily or Anthurium displays beautiful long-lasting blooms of red, white, yellow or striking black flowers. Its waxy colourful 'flowers' are technically spathes - a brightly coloured leaf designed to attract wildlife in its natural tropical habitat.

The flamingo lily is native to South America and the Caribbean where it lives in the rainforest on the branches of trees or underneath the tree canopy. As such it's familiar with bright but dappled light, so will be happiest in a room with good light levels, but away from direct light - a few metres away from a sunny window, somewhere the rays don't fall directly on the leaves is ideal. It likes moist but not waterlogged soil, and loves humidity - so will thank you for a light misting with water every now and then, or being grouped with other plants to increase the humidity levels.

A healthy Anthurium is likely to have around six spathe flowers a year with each flower lasting between two to three months; a far more cost-effective and sustainable investment than short-lived cut flowers.

Most people in the UK will be familiar with the English ivy as a native outdoor plant; its strong climbing and fast-growing habit mean it spreads easily across walls, buildings and fences in gardens and outdoor spaces - a boon for covering unsightly architecture and greening man-made buildings, sometimes not so welcome to those who have tried to prevent its vice-like grip from strangling trees and shrubs.

Its prolific outdoor performance is down to its hardy resilience, which also makes it an easy success story indoors. As a house plant, the English ivy is one of the best indoor plants for easily adapting to almost any light conditions, and it won't put up too much fuss about slightly too dry or slightly too wet soil. Whilst its climbing habit makes it one of the best options for hanging planters, bookshelves or not-too-sunny window ledges where it trails beautifully.
How fast does English ivy grow indoors?
Although this quick-growing plant will thrive in almost any light condition, it will grow fastest in bright indirect light where its trailing stems can grow up to 9 feet annually once established!

Don't worry if it starts to get out of hand though, the ivy can easily be trimmed to return it to a more manageable size, and, even better, cuttings are easily propagated; extending your plant collection or making great gifts for friends and family.

When putting together a wish-list of the best indoor plants it's good to choose options that thrive under a variety of conditions, as different rooms throughout the home - and zones within each room - can have very different light levels and temperatures depending on their aspect.

The Boston fern or Nephrolepis Exaltata has a liking for slightly lower light conditions and high moisture levels, making it one of the best plants for bathrooms. As Jo Lambell, founder of online plant boutique Beards and Daisies explains: 'Coming from a rainforest habitat, these plants like indirect light and humid conditions - so whilst you could mist it regularly, homing the Boston fern in the bathroom is a great way for them to get the frequent moisture they crave.'
How much sun does a Boston fern need?
As a native to tropical climates where it grows amidst the lush vegetation on the rainforest floor, the Boston fern is used to being in the diffused light of the rainforest canopy. As such full sun can scorch its fronds, but it isn't a fan of deep shade either!

It's worth the effort to find a spot that suits it however, as once content it will thank you with a wonderful mass of air-purifying foliage. In a bright room it's a good bet to position it as far from the window as possible, whilst in a darker room it can sit closer to the natural light.

Also known as Mother in Law's tongue, Saint George's sword or viper's bowstring hemp, the snake plant is one of the easiest indoor plants to care for. In fact it's often described as almost indestructible! It continues to release oxygen, even at night time, making it a good plant for bedrooms, where even if you forget to water it for a while, it won't bear a grudge.

Jo Lambell of Beards and Daisies says: 'It's easy to see why the snake plant is one of our best-sellers - not only do its long leaves make for a striking silhouette, but it really is made of tough stuff. Low light, infrequent watering and influxes of temperature are no match for the snake plant. It thrives in the face of neglect.'

Hardy, architectural, and a bold focal statement once it reaches its mature height, the only downside is those pointed leaves - its multitude of names are there for a reason: this plant has very sharp leaves! Fine when handled with gloves - which is recommended for repotting as it can cause skin irritation - but perhaps not one to have around small children.

How often should I water Sanseveria?

The snake plant is a succulent so can tolerate droughts well - making it quick to recover if you've neglected to water for a while. Succulents generally prefer to be underwatered rather than overwatered so err on the side of caution and follow the rule of less is more - a drink every few weeks in spring and summer and less during the cooler months should be fine.

Chuir mé solas na gréine ar fáil do mo phlanda. Bhain mé uisce, ceann de na riachtanais a theastaíonn ó phlandaí chun Fótaisintéis a bhaint amach, ón phlanda seo. Ar dtús, cheap mé nach mbeadh mórán éifeacht ag an easpa uisce ar an phlanda seo ach, bhí mé mícheart! Tar éis an tuargnamh, thug mé faoi deara gur éirigh na peiteal lag agus thosaigh siad ag cromadh. Thosaigh an dath ag athrú píosa beag, ó bhandearg go liath/donn. Is léir go mbíonn an-éifeacht ag gach riachtanais a theastaíonn ó phlandaí chun go mbeadh siad in ann maireachtáil. Anois tá tuiscint agam ar an tábhacht a bhaineann le haire a thabhairt do phlandaí.
