    Molbak’s Favorites: Easy Dorm Room Green

    By Molbak's Garden + Home | Indoor Plants | Comments are Closed | 26 August, 2019 | 3

    Molbak’s favorites are indoor plants and low maintenance and – bonus – will freshen the air in your dorm.  Fresh air = motivation = homework is a breeze!

    Molbak's Favorites Aloe Plant Dorm Desk

    #1 Aloe Vera

    If there were ever a dual-purpose dorm plant this is it – a first aid kit and fresh air maker all in one. Cut off a piece and squeeze out some aloe to heal a paper cut or a sunburn.

    Molbak's Favorites Airplant Plant Dorm Desk

    #2 Air Plants

    Yes – they live on air! Ok, a little occasional misting is needed too.

    Add to anything – jars, orbs, or just there, on your desk. Mist them once a week. There are all shapes, sizes and colors of air plants.

    Molbak's Favorites Snake Plant Dorm Desk

    #3 Snake Plant

    This tall, low-light plant thrives in fluorescent lights – like it’s made for dorms. The centerpiece of Molbak’s favorites!

    They are happy near, but not in, a window. Remember to rotate your snake plant every two weeks and water when dry.

    Molbak's Favorites Succulent Plant Dorm Desk

    #4 Succulents

    These gems come in greens, purples, tans, reds and blues. Combine them into a sculptural mini-garden or plant one up on its own.

    They’ll grow slow and their textures are lively and interesting. Water as needed, which is seldom. The perfect forget-it-and-go plant.

    Molbak's Favorites Cactus Plant Dorm Desk

    #5 Cactus

    Cactus can go without water for-ever it seems. Just add a reminder to your calendar to check the soil for moisture.

    Depending on your climate, yours might even bloom. Be patient though, some bloom every year, others every 15 years!

    Tips:

    1. Remember, all these plants like to be relatively dry.
    2. To keep them healthy, make sure your pot has a hole in the bottom (Molbak’s will drill a hole in the bottom of your pot for you in-store for free).
    3. When you water them, do so very thoroughly, then let the water drain out the bottom into a saucer and ***empty the excess*** they don’t like to sit in water.
    4. Use your calendar to set watering reminders. Remember to update the schedule in the hot weather.
    5. Enjoy!
