If you live in Seattle and have a sizeable windowsill which isn’t always shaded by a large evergreen, then you have an ideal location for a beautiful array of Asian indoor plants. Asian plants are a beautiful touch to any home. Living and breathing plants always have the ability to brighten and refresh a room no matter what country they originate from. 

Some popular indoor Asian plants are the following:

Bamboo: Small personal bamboo plants are wildly popular for indoor growth. Bamboo shoots can grow freely in just a vase of water or in a grouping inside of a potted planter with soil. One of the best attributes of bamboo is it will grow tall, green and beautiful, giving even the most novice gardeners a strong sense of accomplishment.

Bonsai Tree: Bonsai trees are well known for their dark green leafy branches which can be carefully trimmed into artistic and sometimes humorous sculptures. Bonsais trees are often used as comic relief in quirky plays and skits because they require serious ongoing care, to the point that the gardener often forms a long term relationship with the plant. Bonsais are great for the office because it is a location frequented often for regular watering in between meetings and conference calls.

Orchids: Orchids aren’t just for bouquets of flowers, they also make beautiful indoor plants which require only weekly watering and moderate sunlight. The beautiful flower will delight you for months to come.
