The idea of having a corner at home where plants are the protagonists has become a real trend especially in these turbulent times, just search Instagram for the hashtag #jungalow for you to find thousands of photographs to inspire you. The reasons to create your little piece of urban jungle are multiple: from having an aesthetically pleasing space, a place to de-stress or a refuge inside the house; But everything points to the comforting effect of being in contact with nature.
Where do I start?
Location, location
The first step is to decide where you are going to locate your green space, if you have to choose prefer a place with a lot of light, but if it is not possible, there is no problem. Then you will take note of features such as lighting, temperature, if there are windows, if there are drafts, if you are near the air conditioning or heating; the size of the space (much better if you measure it).
Also take into consideration your lifestyle, if you are one of those who go on trips frequently, if you are forgetful, if you have a pet, among other details. These characteristics are what will allow you to choose the right plants, which will not die in a short time just because they cannot adapt to the environment.

My recommendation is that you buy plants in odd numbers, as they tend to look much better. Look for plants that are easy to care for, so you don't get frustrated and get used to caring for them. It is also highly recommended to purchase plants of different heights. This will give dimension to the space.
For example, you can purchase a Kentia Palm (tall), an Amazonian Alocasia (medium), and a Wild Aloe (small). As they are of different heights, you can place them on the ground or on some furniture and the colors of their leaves are varied, so it will look impressive. If your style is more minimalist, you can buy a Sanseviera, an Alocasia elephant ear and a ficus robusta, which have simpler lines and will allow you to play with dimensions.

Better in a
One of the secrets to creating a green space that doesn't turn into an empty corner in a few weeks is to choose the right plants and keep them grouped together. Plants, even though they may be of different species, should require similar care. This will allow you to establish common watering and care patterns, so you'll spend less time caring for them and trying to adapt to their needs.
You could put together a Lemon Dracena, a Monstera, and a Kentia palm, which require indirect light, moderate watering, and normal humidity levels. They will also look gorgeous, as they will give you a plethoric atmosphere, with their leafy leaves and imposing height. Perfect for a very summery living room.

Having plants together not only gives you an immediate visual impact, but also creates a particular micro-climate that will allow the environmental and humidity conditions to be kept in balance, which is very beneficial for your plants. In addition, having them grouped together offers this feeling of exuberant nature, of green and freshness.
place has its own characteristics, its own magic and you must find it. If you bought your plants with Be Green, they should be at your door within 24 hours and you can dedicate yourself to my favorite part: customizing the space. You can use decorative pots of different textures, colors and materials, you can also put bedside tables, a chair to sit on to read or have a cup of coffee.

Use books, scented candles, rugs, and anything else you can think of. This is the time to let your creativity run wild and take ownership of the place by leaving your mark, showing what you like and what makes you happy. Remember that the green space is a harmonious place, where you will recharge yourself with good vibes and the power of nature.

This last step is optional, but I like that these small, everyday tools are integrated into the green corner. A cute sprayer in your favorite color, a beautiful and elegant watering can, maybe a kit of scissors and shovels, which you will need over time to take care of your plants. Having beautiful tools also motivates you to always pay attention to the needs of your green friends.
