One of the great evils of our generation is that we live in small, if not tiny, spaces, especially in big cities. From studio floors to office cubicles. This has made us reevaluate all our decorative and stylistic decisions, see that we are no longer able to put a large zen fountain or for a 6-seater modular sofa. But this doesn't mean that you should resign yourself to living in a grey and hyper-minimalist cell, because you can always decorate with small plants.
A group of well-placed plants will be enough to bring life and color to your home and office. The best part? You won't have to spend a fortune and you will be able to take advantage of other benefits that come with them. We tell you which plants you can buy according to the conditions of your space and your lifestyle.
Why have small plants at home?
Wherever you
see a plant, you know that there is life, that there is hope. Plants are living beings, they are in constant growth and development, with their own cycles and even flowering. More than a static decorative element, they become elements that can give color and vitality to your spaces. There is something about the green of seedlings that, regardless of size, makes humans feel positive emotions, as evidenced by several scientific studies.
There
arepurifying plants, which take harmful particles from the environment and process them, while others are responsible for improving ambient humidity levels. If the space is small, then the positive effect of this type of plant will be much more powerful.
Caring for
aplant gives you a sense of purpose that is very satisfying. On the other hand, our primitive brain still associates the green of plants with a sense of calm and tranquility; while working with your plant (watering, pruning, and even transplanting) is a relaxing task, which reduces stress levels and lowers blood pressure. No lamp or sculpture can do so much for you.
As
youmay already know, there are hundreds of species of indoor plants, of different sizes and requirements; so you're sure to find one that fits in that 2x2 cubicle you call an office and where a desk barely fits. Small plants are beautiful and usually have a very good price, so you can decorate your spaces without having to leave a small fortune.

- Cacti Cacti
are one of my favorites, because they have very interesting geometric shapes, they can grow in small pots (you can get creative with this. I've planted cacti in teacups that have broken and look beautiful) and require virtually no care. They need to be watered very little and do not need to be fertilized frequently, they just require spaces with good lighting. As they are so small, they are perfect for amortizing vertical space: take advantage of shelves and shelves to put them. For example, you have this circular set ready to hang.
