Hot New Trend

We’re not talking about the latest Tik Tok dance or nostalgic 90s fashion. We’re talking about dwarf plants. According to The University of Florida, dwarf varieties are taking on 2020 as small plants that make a big statement! Dwarf plants are popular for outdoor gardens with minimal space, but they can be used for indoor plant decor, as well. Who wouldn’t want a miniature version of their favorite plant?

How to Decorate with Dwarf Plants

The great thing about using miniature dwarf plants in your home decor is that they don’t take up too much space. Say goodbye to hauling huge and heavy pots when rearranging, watering, or cleaning. They’re the perfect addition to a dorm room, apartment, or a small area in your home that needs a little wow factor. 

Dwarf plants are the perfect size to move around and change up your decor from time to time. Because of their small size, they can easily be placed on stacked shelves, suspended on a hook, hung on a wall, situated on a side table, or propped on a kitchen counter. Try grouping three different dwarf plants together on a shelf or counter to create depth, texture, and varying height to your decor. 

How to Grow Dwarf Plants in Your Home

Successfully growing indoor dwarf plants can be achieved by selecting the right plant for your home’s light level. The three main light levels for indoor plants are:

Bright Light: A location in your home that receives sunlight for at least 5-6 hours a day. Usually a sunny southern or western facing window. 

Indirect Light: A place that receives sunlight, but not direct sun rays. Usually an east facing window or an interior of a room that receives bright light. 

Low Light: Rooms with north facing or very few windows are typically low light situations. 

Be sure to make sure the dwarf plant's light requirements are a good fit for its ideal location in your home.
