Urban jungle plants

Create your own Urban Jungle

There are countless houseplants that bring a tropical feel and are ideal for an urban jungle. The more houseplants you add, the better! But you don't have to make your jungle too big; adjust it to your own preference. The houseplants in this category are not only pleasing to the eye, but some also have air-purifying properties.

Air-purifying houseplants

Air-purifying houseplants are ideal for the office or bedroom, but they also do well in other rooms in your home. They filter harmful substances from the air, ensuring fresh and healthy breathing. Moreover, they improve humidity, contributing to better sleep quality and increased concentration during the day. Therefore, these plants are particularly valuable in spaces where you spend a lot of time, such as your workplace or bedroom.

What is an urban jungle?

An urban jungle is basically a green oasis in your own home. Adding lots of houseplants creates a real jungle atmosphere. Plants not only bring colour and life to your space, but can also create a calming and happy ambience. An urban jungle doesn't have to be huge; you can make it as big as you want and decorate it to your own taste.

No green thumb but still want an urban jungle? It can be done!

Even without green fingers, you can create an urban jungle! Tropical houseplants, used to humid environments, often need more water and some extra care. But don't worry; there are also plant species that do well even for novice plant lovers. Consider, for example, the Dracaena, which is known for its robust nature and low maintenance.
When you start setting up your urban jungle, it is useful to prepare well. Make sure you have a plant sprayer and watering can in the house. Many tropical houseplants like a humid climate and can benefit from occasional watering. Also remember to choose good pots and baskets for your new green friends.

Which houseplants are essential in your urban jungle

There are some houseplants that are absolutely essential in your urban jungle. The Strelitzia, also known as bird of paradise plant, stands out because of its large, tropical leaves. Species like Strelitzia Nicolai and Strelitzia Augusta are particularly impressive, but beware: they are slightly toxic to pets.
