Do you like the idea of putting a tree in the living room? The showiness of these completely transforms the space. More exuberant, more showy and with a note of color more; this is how your living room will look. However, beyond being pleasing to the eye, many of you will wonder, is it easy to keep it alive? The answer is not simple and there is the key.
One thing is clear, not all trees can be "planted" in the room. We need a small or medium-sized tree, which does not require direct exposure to the sun and whose maintenance is minimal. Does this tree exist? There is more than one, however, one of the most used indoors, as you can see in the images, is the Ficus Lira.
The large leaves of the Ficus Lira, also known as the Fiddle Leaf Fig, are lush and fill any space. This evergreen tree requires a bright environment, but not directly exposed to the sun, away from heat sources and frequent drafts. Do you already have the right place for it?
Being a evergreen tree, will give color to our living room throughout the year. It can reach 8 meters in height, however it is possible to control it. If you have wide spaces and high ceilings, it will look much better, but they are not essential. Next to the sofa, in a window, or next to the fireplace, find a place for it!
Choose pots according to your decoration to "plant". On wood or stone for rustic living rooms, with bright finishes and bright colors in minimalist and modern environments ... Make sure that these are the right size for the tree to grow and use fertile and humid soil. Remember, you will need to water it every 4-5 days.
Plants bring any space to life. Most of us appreciate the power of them on a decorative level; but, we know its benefits? They clean the air, reduce noise, reduce static electricity, and improve mood and well-being.
