Create your own Urban Jungle

There are numerous houseplants which 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; customize it to your liking. 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 areas of your home. They filter pollutants from the air, ensuring fresh and healthy breathing. In addition, they improve humidity, which contributes 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 true jungle atmosphere. Plants not only bring color and life to your space, but can also create a calming and happy ambiance. 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 have an urban jungle? It can be done!

Even without a green thumb, you can create an urban jungle! Tropical houseplants, accustomed to humid environments, often have greater water requirements and need some extra care. But no worries; there are also plant species that do well even for novice plant lovers. Consider the Dracaena, for example, which is known for its robust nature and requires little maintenance.

When you start setting up your urban jungle, it's helpful to be well prepared. Make sure you have a plant sprayer and watering can in your home. Many tropical houseplants like a humid climate and can benefit from occasional watering. Also, don't forget to choose good pots and baskets for your new green friends.

Which houseplants are essential in your urban jungle

There are some houseplants that absolutely should not be missing from your urban jungle. The Strelitzia, also known as bird of paradise plant, stands out for its large, tropical leaves. Species such as the Strelitzia Nicolai and Strelitzia Augusta are particularly impressive, but beware: they are slightly toxic to pets.
