When trying to make your sunroom feel cozier, don’t ignore the benefits of adding a few plants. They will literally breathe life into the space as well as add some unique flair. If you aren’t sure how to begin this inclusion, the plants below are some good starter options. 

What Types of Plants Thrive in Sunrooms?

1. Hibiscus

If you want to add a splash of color to your sunroom, opt for the hibiscus plant. The tropical version is made for warm locations but can thrive in indoor areas. It is also the species to purchase if you want a thicker bloom and bolder color options. The shrub and perennial varieties have fewer color choices, but they can get quite tall when planted in the right container and given enough sunlight access.

2. Boston Fern

The fern is an excellent indoor plant. It’s not only pretty to look at, but it’s also helpful at removing harmful air pollutants — including formaldehyde, xylene, and toluene — and adding humidity to create a fresher interior atmosphere. Make sure to place it in a pot that offers plenty of aeration and drainage. However, take care to water it regularly to maintain humidity requirements and avoid direct sunlight.

3. Spider Plant

Novice growers will appreciate how easy it is to care for a spider plant. They can be placed in hanging baskets, floor pots, or on a shelf in your sunroom as long as they receive moderate sunlight. They don’t need excessive watering, but periodically feel the soil to determine if it’s dry. It’s good to know if you forget to water it on occasion that this plant is very forgiving and capable of bouncing right back.
