There\u2019s something great about making a move in the springtime and starting over with the season. So if you are planning on making a move, check out our<a href=\"https:\/\/www.irvinecompanyapartments.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> apartments in California<\/a> to find the perfect community to call your new home.<\/p>\n<p>Whether you start over fresh or stay in the apartment you have, plants are great because they can bring a room together and add that final touch of completeness to the d\u00e9cor. Beyond the aesthetic reasons, plants greatly improve the quality of air inside our homes by cycling through the CO2 and creating fresh oxygen. That said, there is nothing worse than purchasing a plant and watching it progressively turn brown over the weeks and ultimately die.<\/p>\n<p>To help you out, we\u2019ve created a list of great indoor plants that are robust enough to last from this spring to next spring all the while purifying and de-stressing your home.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1824\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.irvinecompanyapartments.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/plants2-689x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"689\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.irvinecompanyapartments.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/plants2-689x1024.jpg 689w, https:\/\/blog.irvinecompanyapartments.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/plants2-235x350.jpg 235w, https:\/\/blog.irvinecompanyapartments.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/plants2-768x1142.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.irvinecompanyapartments.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/plants2.jpg 807w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 689px) 100vw, 689px\" \/><b>Snake plants<\/b> do well in low light and humid areas of the home such as a bathroom. These plants are great because they cycle through air pollutants with little or no care and they have a fascinating shape, which makes them interesting focal points for any room.<\/p>\n<p><b>Peperomia plants<\/b> are hardy indoor plants with heart-shaped green leaves that prefer to be neglected rather than over-cared for. If repotting is necessary, be sure to do so in the spring as that is the time of the year that they are in their sprouting phase and most adaptable to change.<\/p>\n<p><b>Dracaena<\/b> <b>plants<\/b> are smaller in size and are shrub-like, which makes them great house plants. Besides the aesthetic reasons for purchasing, Dracaenas are incredibly adaptable and will not wilt and die if you forget to water them for a week.<\/p>\n<p><b>Pothos plants<\/b> are great indoor plants that do well when planted in a hanging basket in a patio or kitchen. They will thrive in dimly-lit rooms and well-lit areas, which make them an exceptionally easy plant to care for. Pothos plants are also great decorative pieces for a home because they have a bushy jungle-like look to them.<\/p>\n<p><b>Areca Palms <\/b>topped NASA\u2019s study on indoor air purifying plants. Areca palms are great house plants because they quickly add a tropical vibe to any room and they\u2019re incredibly resistant to drought.<b>\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1827\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.irvinecompanyapartments.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/houseplants-bedroom-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.irvinecompanyapartments.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/houseplants-bedroom-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.irvinecompanyapartments.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/houseplants-bedroom-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/blog.irvinecompanyapartments.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/houseplants-bedroom-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.irvinecompanyapartments.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/houseplants-bedroom-900x600.jpg 900w, https:\/\/blog.irvinecompanyapartments.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/houseplants-bedroom.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><b>Pet owners:<\/b> Please keep in mind that there are a variety of houseplants that are deadly to your furry friend.
