At easyplant, we know the connection between greenery and well-being. That’s why we’ve taken great care to offer a selection of self-watering plants specifically chosen for their ability to enrich your home environment effortlessly.

The health benefits of plants
Have you ever taken a walk in a park or forest and felt calm and rejuvenated? Well, it seems that bringing a bit of nature indoors can similarly reduce stress levels and boost happiness.
In fact, just having even one plant in your home can dramatically improve the air quality, boost your mood, and even help you sleep better.
Plants take in the not-so-good stuff from our indoor atmosphere and replace it with oxygen, helping us breathe easier and feel better in our own homes. They can also catch small particles in the air that contribute to allergies, and let’s be honest, they look beautiful too.
Lastly, who doesn't love getting enough sleep? Plants might just be able to assist with this as well. They create a tranquil environment conducive to quality rest and keep the air clean while we snooze away.
Key plant selections with easyplant
easyplant offers a wonderful selection of beautiful plants that can turn your home into a little slice of nature. Here are some of the top choices:
1. White Bird of Paradise (Strelitzia nicolai)
The White Bird of Paradise is much more than a visual delight with its expansive, shiny green leaves and graceful white blossoms that mimic birds taking to the skies.
Standing tall and bold, it naturally commands attention in any space, infusing an air of elegance alongside a hint of tropical charm.
Benefits
It looks stunning and boosts indoor humidity levels, which can be quite beneficial for your skin's hydration and aid respiratory functions.
Care tips
Place your White Bird of Paradise where it will receive plenty of indirect sunlight, though don’t worry too much if your spot isn't soaked in sunshine all day long. It will still do fairly well.
When placing the plant in your living space, ensure it has plenty of free space around it to allow for air movement to mimic its natural habitat.
2. Black ZZ Plant (Zamioculcas zamiifolia)
The Black ZZ Plant holds a special allure with its distinctive, dark leaves that verge on black—a striking addition to any interior space, especially if your decor loves contrast. The lustrous, waxy surface of the leaves forms an orderly arrangement that catches the eye and elevates your living area's aesthetic.
Benefits
This plant is a dream for those seeking beauty without the high maintenance. It prospers even in dimly lit corners and won't chastise you for occasional neglect.
Similar to the Chinese Money Tree, in Feng Shui, the Black ZZ Plant is also associated with good luck and prosperity. The plant is perfect to be given as a gift and is usually placed in the southeast corner of the home.
Care tips
Consider placing your Black ZZ Plant where direct sunlight is limited, such as cozy office nooks or tranquil bedroom spots. Bathrooms are also perfect, thanks to this plant’s flexibility and muted light requirements.
With its capacity to effortlessly uplift different areas, it is an excellent choice for bringing life into spaces while keeping care routines uncomplicated.
Black ZZ can uplift bare spaces around the home and is an ideal choice for those looking to bring life into their home while keeping the care routines uncomplicated.
3. Areca Palm (Dypsis lutescens)
A native of Madagascar, the Areca Palm, with its soft and inviting fronds, is quite the popular choice for bringing a piece of the tropics indoors. Reaching an impressive six to seven feet in height when cared for inside, it's sure to become a prominent feature wherever you place it.
Benefits
The Areca Palm offers practical benefits for your home, namely humidity and air quality control. By releasing moisture into the air, the Areca Palm acts as a natural humidifier which can be particularly soothing for your skin and breathing passages.
Care tips
As far as positioning goes, this palm prefers life on the sunny side but not directly under harsh rays.
A cozy nook near windows that filter sunlight will make an ideal spot. Living areas or workspaces will both allow your palm to flourish. These palms tend to be more of a feature than a decoration, so making them the highlight of the room is ideal.
Using plant stands for aesthetic and practical benefits
Incorporating plant stands into your space is not only visually appealing but also smartly uses the area you have available. These accessories lift your greenery, giving them a spotlight in the room and ensuring they bask in ample sunlight.
As you look for the right stand, keep in mind both the physical aspects of your plant and how it will blend with your existing decor.
For majestic plants that command attention, like the White Bird of Paradise or an Areca Palm, a strong stand with plenty of base support is necessary. On the other hand, something small and graceful such as a Black ZZ Plant would be perfectly at home on layered stands or sleek shelves that don't overwhelm their subtle charm.
By thoughtfully pairing each plant with its appropriate pedestal, you'll create an arrangement that's both attractive and functional.
Creating a cohesive plant arrangement
When you gather various plants together thoughtfully, they can truly transform the feel of your space. Begin with assessing different aspects like how tall each plant grows, the shape of their leaves, and their color palette.
Take, for example, a lofty White Bird of Paradise. Placing this as your focal point immediately draws the eye. Surround it with shorter companions such as an Areca Palm or perhaps a Black ZZ Plant to create a sense of harmony.
Also, consider where sunlight spills into your home when deciding where to place each plant. It's important for your green friends' well-being that neighboring plants have similar needs. Self-watering pots ease maintenance and bring character and charm to your display.
The fun part is experimenting with varying textures in pots—maybe choose bamboo today or maybe stone tomorrow—and baskets that offer visual richness to your botanical collection.
