1. Alocasia
The Alocasia is a beautiful, striking plant, but also a challenge to care for. This robust plant is quite sensitive to leaf discoloration and drooping leaves. Both overwatering and underwatering can have serious consequences. The key to successfully caring for an Alocasia is finding the perfect balance. Additionally, it's important to use lukewarm water, as cold water can cause damage. Ideally, you should water this plant about twice a week, depending on the humidity in the room.
2. Banana plant
The tropical Banana Plant, with its large, exotic leaves, is a real eye-catcher in the home and requires regular care. It thrives best in warm temperatures, so ensure it has a cozy, warm spot in your home. A little plant food every few weeks keeps it healthy and promotes extra growth. The leaves are quite fragile and can easily snap or break, so handle this green friend with care. Additionally, give the Banana Plant plenty of natural sunlight.
3. Olive Tree
The Olive Tree is a true sun worshipper. A spot in the sun is an absolute must for this plant. Don’t forget to water the olive tree 2 to 3 times a week during high temperatures.
4. Polyscias
The Polyscias, also known as the shade tree, is an elegant houseplant that requires challenging care. This plant needs bright, indirect light; too much sun can burn the leaves, while too little light can lead to leaf loss. Additionally, the Polyscias is sensitive to dry air and pests. It's important to keep the soil moist but not soggy, which requires some experience with watering. The plant can also react poorly to cold, so a warm, draft-free location is essential.
5. Pachira Aquatica
Pachira Aquatica - The Pachira Aquatica, better known as the money tree, is a striking houseplant with a unique braided stem. This special stem acts as a water reservoir, enabling the plant to retain moisture for a long time. As a result, the money tree needs water only every three weeks. It is important to be careful with watering; too much water can be harmful to the plant and even lead to its loss.
It's clear that you're not just looking for decorative plants; you also want a challenge and engaging care. With the plants on this list, you have plenty of work to keep your hands busy.
