Houseplants that can stand next to radiators: They don't mind the warm, dry air

Which indoor plants can stay next to the radiator during the heating season?

Are the radiators starting to heat up the room? In the rooms is the air drier and warmer? It should be noted that such conditions are not ideal for growing indoor plants.

Some of them do not adapt to an immediate proximity of the radiator and dry air. How to organize your green corner?


We are showing you the indoor plants that can stay close to the radiator, Telegrafi reports.

Zamia "invincible"

Zamia is known as a plant that does not require much care. It does not harm the harsh conditions in nature, or even the heating season in your home. Its leaves are thick and fleshy, which allow it to retain water. Zamia tolerates dry air and heat.

It is resistant to neglect and carelessness for watering and low lighting. Because of all this, it is an ideal choice for a place next to a radiator.

Sansevieria can withstand radiator heat

Sanseveria is often cited as one of the most durable houseplants. It is resistant to almost all conditions.

It tolerates low light and low humidity well.

Decorative leaves accumulate water, so it can survive for long periods without watering. You can place the pot with sansevieria next to the radiator, but check its appearance regularly and, if necessary, water it more abundantly.

Aspidistra resistant to everything

The characteristic leaves of this plant grow directly from underground roots. Aspidistra is even called "iron leaf", so it is liked by all those who do not have time for complicated plant care.

It can be placed next to the radiator, because it is very resistant to drought. It "forgives" occasional skipping of irrigation and dry air. Aspidistra also tolerates large temperature fluctuations, which can occur, for example, when airing rooms.

Kalanchoe tolerates drought very well

When growing kalanchoe, moderation in watering is important - excess water quickly causes root rot.

Given its ability to retain moisture, the active radiator will not harm it.

The African violet enjoys heat

This is one of the main reasons why we like to put this plant in the window. In addition to its beautiful appearance, the African violet is very resistant.

Although it looks fragile, it tolerates hot and dry air well. It is important not to water the leaves, but to water the plant from below, because the contact of the leaves with water can quickly spoil the beauty of the plant.

Air humidification for plants

If you notice that your indoor plants react badly to the radiators being turned on, you can help by placing small pebbles in a shallow container and pouring water over them so that they are soaked.

Place the pot on the surface, make sure that the root of the plant is not submerged in water. /Telegraph/
