Barberton Daisy
This South African native needs more direct light and can surprise you with bright, mood-boosting blooms at any time of the year!
Boston Fern
While the majority of ferns are actually toxic to children and pets, the Boston fern is a perfect exception! Find a larger corner or side space for this one, as it can grow pretty big!
Dracaena
Native to Madagascar, this pretty bus tree-like plant doesn’t need much water and it takes a good amount of filtered light, such as the one coming through a curtain! It’s ideal for a jungle-themed nursery – its ornamental leaves and stem give an exotic feel to any space!
Burro’s Tail
Also known as Donkey’s Tail, this gorgeous succulent grows great as a cascading plant in soft hues and since it originates from warm countries like Honduras and Mexico, it readily enjoys full light exposure!
Fittonia
Soft baby pink for a little princess, what more can we say! But this Peruvian beauty does need more watering!
Wax Plant
Also called hoya, this cascading beauty with tight clusters of scented flowers is becoming increasingly popular for home decoration this season!
Snake Plant
The Snake Plant is a classic for bedrooms because it looks incredibly stylish and doesn’t expand sideways. Since it’s a cactus, it doesn’t require much light and water, and occasionally, out of nowhere, it will surprise you with creamy white blooms!
Spider Plant
This one is really easy to maintain and you can forget it for a few days altogether with a clear conscience! You can also separate the roots and arrange it into different pots!
Phalaenopsis Orchid
This highly decorative prettiness comes in different colors and prefers warm and wet pampering!
African Violet
Perfect for the window sill, the bright purplish blooms and velvety leaves of the African Violet will add some deep magic feel to the nursery space!
Basil
The good old basil which we usually put on the windowsill in the kitchen is great for nurseries too, since it is a very gentle plant, aromatic and non-toxic! It may not be an orchid, but it does hold that old time charm!
Baby’s Tears
Another soft, safe-to-touch addition to your baby’s room, which also produces a myriad of little white flowers that feel like feathers and look like morning dew!
Prayer Plant
This Brazilian classic named so because of how the leaves fold into a hands-in-prayer gesture at night, loves moisture and indirect light and reveals some gorgeous patterned beauty during the day!
Jade Plant
Another low-maintenance succulent, which you can creatively and safely arrange into a handmade, decorative pot!
Blue Echeveria
Mesmerizing blue hues, no matter whether it’s for a boy or a girl!
Ponytail Palm
Provide much sunlight and little water to a Ponytail Palm and it will grow tall and statuesque alongside your little sprout!
Wandering Jew
The soft pink-purplish leaves of the Meandering Jew will add a gentle, mysterious touch to the nursery decor! Since the plant tends to grow meandering like a grapevine, you can also create an entire themed decor wall in the same tones!
