Indoor Plants Need Your Love and Affection More Than Ever

Treat these plants poorly, however, and they will wither and die as surely
as any florist's bouquet. Two years ago Paul Hyland, who spent 20 years
growing roses for the cut-flower industry, set up an indoor-plant offshoot
of his Glasshaus nursery in Richmond. On a street with a pointedly
urban-industrial aesthetic he leased a warehouse and grew a jungle inside
it. Plants grow up the walls and cascade from the ceiling. Figs, palms and
strelitzia are stretching for the roof while peperomias creep over the
floor.
.
Devil's ivy (Epipremnum aureum) is flashing gold, Grape ivy (Cissus
rhombifolia) lends a verdant gloss and begonias are all technicolour
variegation. There are carnivorous plants, foolproof aspidistra and such
darlings of the 1960s and '70s as Schefflera and Spathiphyllum. Monstera
deliciosa is growing rampant and Ficus alii is all loose and casual. One
wall is taken out by weeping trails of Rhipsalis.
.
While they have all adapted to a life indoors it is never as simple as
taking a plant even a tiny shade-loving species that hails from the
understory of deep forests and placing it where ever suits your dor.
.
"Putting a plant inside without the right conditions is the same scenario
as buying a dog breed for indoor conditions and placing it outdoors
without a kennel," Hyland says. They still require the sort of light, air
movement, temperature, nutrients and moisture levels they would have
received in their natural habitat.
.
Sometimes that can be achieved as simply as putting a plant near a window
or well away from a heating duct (they are too drying). Other times more
intervention is required. Hyland cut skylights into his Cremorne warehouse
roof. He also installed LED "grow lights" which, unlike regular indoor
lighting, provide a light spectrum similar to that of the sun. In dim
spaces grow lights are the only way plants get the right light spectrum
for photosynthesis.
