Sunrooms are a great addition to any home, especially if you’re looking for a refreshing, relaxing space to enjoy natural light and fresh air. They offer a variety of decorating opportunities, and the ample light makes plants a great place to start. The staff at Gateway Exteriors in Wentzville, MO, advises that many plants thrive in sunrooms. Below, they share a few that do the best in these spaces.

3 Plants That Thrive in Sunrooms

1. Orchids

Many people believe orchids are difficult to grow. When watered correctly—once or twice a week, depending on the season—they’re actually easy to manage, and the humidity and light sunrooms offer make for the ideal climate. There are many orchids to choose from, so mix and match color and character as you see fit.

2. Vines

Vines come in many shapes, styles, and sizes, but they all do well in sunrooms. You can hang them from baskets or even build a trellis or vine wall. Arrowhead vines grow particularly well and can be blended with other flowing vines to create attractive displays.

3. Ferns

If you want to add some lush greenery to fill space or complement flowering plants, ferns are the perfect addition. They come in a variety of types, with Boston ferns doing the best in sunrooms. They may need more humidity than the room allows, so make sure to spray them with water every few days.
