• 5 Christmas Home Decor Ideas for your Space!

Christmas is a time of great joy and glee for those who choose to celebrate it. With such times, come beautiful decorations and even more beautiful times with loved ones. 

For festivities like this one, finding the perfect way to decorate also becomes crucial because -of course- we really want the decor to match the vibe. So, here are 5 picture-perfect yet eco-friendly Christmas home decor ideas:

1. Houseplants

You can grow some beautiful ornamental foliage plants in good looking plastic pots or ceramic planters. Some plants that never fail to set the mood just right are Spider plants, Ficus plants, and Dracaena plants - all plants that are often beloved for their ease of growth and stunning looks.

Plants like Crotons, Kalanchoe, Philodendron, Ferns, Peperomia, Sedum require a minimum temperature of 10-12 degree Celsius. Plants like Begonia, Caladium, Dieffenbachia need minimum temperature of 12-15 degree Celsius. These stunners are also all perfect for Christmas-themed decorations, with their speckled patterns and wonderful, colorful hues. 

2. Flowers

Western or Japanese style flower arrangements can be made to create that wintery, Christmas-y look in your homes that will easily become the most talked-about Christmas house decorations.

For the Western style, you can create a bouquet like an arrangement of cut flowers like Roses, Carnations, Gerbera along with foliage of Palms, Ferns, and Cypress. Flower stalks are inserted in florist's foam which is placed in a shallow plastic container. Similar style of arrangements can be done in flower pots.

The Japanese style of flower arrangement is called Ikebana. Very few flowers and branches are used to represent the forms of heaven, man, and earth. These are supported in shallow ceramic containers with the help of pin holders.

3. Lawn

A fantastic green lawn completes the garden. The fastest way of creating a lawn is by turfing method. Dig your land correctly, add plenty of cow manure and level the soil. Place ready to use grass turfs over the well-prepared land and water them thoroughly.

Doob grass is the best one to make a quick lawn in a sunny spot in your front yard. The lawn is supposed to be an activity area. Therefore, it should be prepared well in advance before holidays and festive season begins.

Post establishing the perfect lawn of your dreams, you can also add plants for Christmas-time. Whichever plants you feel could add that charm to your home garden to create the end-of-the-year that you want. The Dieffenbachia Cheetah is a great option for such decorations!

4. Hanging baskets

Hanging pots with trailing or cascading plants are suited for indoors as well as outdoors. These can be attached at the entrance of the house to welcome the visitors.

Hanging baskets can also be placed in the hall or the drawing room beside a well-lit window, or in the bathroom above the fluorescent light. A plain wall with a sunny room or as passage can also be artistically decorated with hanging baskets.

Plants for Christmas that are also suitable for hanging baskets: Spider plant, Syngonium, Fern, Money plant, Sedum, Philodendron, etc.

5. Dish garden

Dish gardening is one of the most fascinating concepts in gardening. Dish garden comes under tabletop gardening or miniature gardening. The shallow ceramic dish is chosen for making a dish garden. A good quality fibrous potting mixture is used to fill the dish.

Tiny indoor foliaceous plants and mini cacti-succulents are used for planting dish gardens. A small version of a natural landscape or a home garden can be mimicked in a dish garden.

Your dish garden can be decorated with stones, pebbles, and cute little garden sculptures. A dish garden can be placed in your main living room as a central piece.

With the right items, you can also create the perfect dish garden to depict little scenes of Christmas. 

Grow the perfect plants for Christmas and brace your home for the festivities in just the right ways! Merry Christmas and happy gardening!
