Peace Lily

This one’s long been an indoor favourite in Australia as it’s a great, low maintenance plant with fantastic blooms that grow throughout the year. Peace Lilies love a bright, space with indirect light and they thrive in well-drained soil. They don’t need a lot of watering or fertilisation, in fact too much of either may kill them. To keep them looking their best, wipe the leaves with a damp cloth occasionally.

Could this be the most instagrammed plant on the planet? It would certainly seem Monstera Deliciosa is enjoying its time in the spotlight, its popularity is blooming. This hardy plant with distinctive leaves is perfect for even the laziest gardener if you follow a few simple steps. The Swiss Cheese Plant loves a bright spacious corner with indirect light and should only be watered when the top four centimetres of soil are dry. Wiping the leaves with a damp cloth not keeps the foliage looking great but also helps ward off infestation by pests.
