5 Best Plants for Kitchens
The Chinese Money Plant or Pilea peperomioides is a popular houseplant with lovely rounded leaves. These compact plants are small, so they won’t get in the way of your cooking, but striking enough to be noticed too.
They look great on a tabletop or breakfast bar, and being tropical plants, they’ll be delighted with a warm, humid environment - so the more you cook, the happier they’ll be! Chinese money plants are also rumoured to bring wealth and abundance to those around them, so placing one in the heart of your family home is symbolic of a happy, healthy family too.
This super dwarf banana plant has striking paddle-shaped leaves and gives off a lovely banana scent that will fill your kitchen, drawing people in. This hybrid variety will only grow to a max of 4 feet tall, so it won’t take up too much space in your kitchen while also bringing lots of lovely greenery into the room. Another tropical plant, the banana plant, will also enjoy a hot and humid environment, meaning a busy kitchen is the ideal spot for it to thrive.
The Silver Inch Plant will make a great talking point and look lovely on a kitchen counter or tabletop. With green and white striped leaves and trailing stems, you could also place this plant in a hanging basket or on a high shelf or worktop in your kitchen for maximum effect. These plants are easy to care for and grow fast, too, making them a rewarding variety to enjoy in your home.
The Flamingo Flower will provide a fantastic splash of colour to your kitchen. Available in white, pink, and red, this plant loves a warm, humid spot and bright, indirect sunshine. While clearly a tropical plant, the Flamingo Flower does surprisingly well in UK homes and creates an exciting point of interest that will brighten up your kitchen and look great on any surface you choose to display it on.
What better way to bring some nature into your kitchen than with a variety of homegrown herbs? Herbs can add colour and interest to your kitchen and be perfectly handy any time you want to sprinkle some into your culinary masterpieces.
