6 Flowers and Plants for Kids' Room

Adding a bit of the natural world to a child's bedroom can offer many benefits beyond simply making their space more vibrant and cheerful. Studies show that incorporating plants indoors helps reduce stress and boosts concentration and productivity. Caring for flowers and foliage also nurtures responsibility and curiosity about science from a young age. For these reasons, decorating kids’ rooms with kid-friendly plants deserves consideration. Here are some ideas.

Purple Pansies

Pansies come in a wide variety of colors but purple ones would look lovely as a pop of color in a room. Pansies are very tough flowers in Spring Hill TN that will last throughout the spring. They like partial sun and well-drained soil. Kids will enjoy how the faces of the flowers seem to follow the sun. Show them how deadheading, or removing old flowers, will cause more blooms to grow.

Peace Lilies

Peace lilies are easy-care for houseplants that thrive in low to medium light. Their white blooms that emerge from their leaves appear almost magical. Peace lilies help clean the indoor air of toxins like benzene and formaldehyde. Kids will be fascinated by knowing their plant is helping to purify the air they breathe while sleeping. Just water peace lilies when the soil becomes dry and they will reward you with steady blooms.

Purple Wandering Jew

Added some trailing purple wandering jew to a bookshelf or window sill brings a pop of bright color. This low-maintenance succulent thrives in low or bright indirect light. It is easy to propagate by snipping stems and placing them in water to develop new roots, which many kids find fun and interesting to observe. Purple wandering jew foliage holds its color very well without lots of direct sun.

Purple Leaf Plumeria

For kids who love tropical vibes, a purple-leaf plumeria plant offers beautiful deep purple foliage without needing bright light like the flowers require. It can stay compact and makes an eye-catching statement piece on a dresser or desk and can easily be found at many flower shops in College Grove TN. Plumeria enjoys humid environments so kids can feel involved by misting the leaves occasionally. Watching new leaves emerge is fascinating for children.

Snapdragons

Snapdragons come in various colors and add a fun interactive element to a space where kids can play by gently "snapping" the flowers. Snapdragons prefer full sun and soil that drains quickly. Teach children how to carefully water snapdragons only when the soil becomes dry. Kids will have fun trying to get the mouths of the snapdragons to "snap" open and closed.

Lucky Bamboo

Known as a symbol of good fortune in Asian cultures, pieces of lucky bamboo with their attractive stalks that range from green to gold and pink can fit into small spaces. No sunlight is even needed, just occasional water top-ups. Caring for the easygoing lucky bamboo can give kids a sense of responsibility also.
