2. Three golden rules for choosing stairwell plants
1.Light adaptation principle: Most stairwells have limited lighting, so choosing shade-tolerant plants such as pothos and sansevieria has a higher success rate. If it is a corner staircase with windows, consider Monstera deliciosa, which likes scattered light.
2.spatial matching principle: For narrow stairs, choose the hanging type (ivy); for wide platforms, choose the upright type (fiddle leaf fig); corners are suitable for hanging plants such as pineapples.
3.Safety first principle: Avoid thorny plants (such as cacti) and recommend varieties without the risk of pollen allergy. Potted plants need to be fixed securely to prevent them from falling over.
