Top Indoor Plants to Refresh Your Home This August

Bring natural calm, beauty, and a breath of fresh air to your interiors.

As we step into August, a month of new beginnings and transitions—back to routines, back to school, and back to a more structured lifestyle—our homes become sanctuaries of comfort and balance. Refreshing your living space with indoor plants is one of the most elegant ways to embrace this seasonal shift. At Plaza Hollandi, we believe that every corner of your home deserves a touch of nature’s serenity. From lush foliage to air-purifying wonders, here are our top picks for indoor plants that are perfect for the warm, dry months of August in the Gulf.

1. Peace Lily (Spathiphyllum)

“Calm in bloom.”

Graceful, sculptural, and air-purifying, the Peace Lily is a timeless indoor favourite. With its dark green leaves and delicate white blooms, it adds a soft, soothing aesthetic to any space. More than just a pretty face, it removes toxins from the air and thrives in moderate, indirect light.

Care Tips:

• Keep the soil moist but not soggy.
• Mist lightly to boost humidity.
• Ideal for bedrooms or reading corners.

2. Monstera Deliciosa

“A bold statement in any room.”

Popularly known as the Swiss Cheese Plant, Monstera is loved for its dramatic, perforated leaves and tropical look. It’s perfect for adding a lively, modern touch to open living areas or stylish office nooks.

Care Tips:

• Loves bright, indirect sunlight.
• Water when the top inch of soil feels dry.
• Dust leaves regularly to keep them glossy and healthy.

3. Areca Palm

“Soft elegance that breathes life into your home.”

Tall, feathery, and light-catching, Areca Palms are a go-to for those seeking graceful greenery. These palms double as natural humidifiers—perfect for Qatar’s air-conditioned indoor settings.

Care Tips:

• Needs filtered light and evenly moist soil.
• Avoid direct sunlight as it can scorch the leaves.
• Add a ceramic planter for a sophisticated finish.

4. Snake Plant (Sansevieria)

“Effortless style for busy lives.”

A minimalist’s dream, the Snake Plant is architectural, sleek, and almost indestructible. It thrives on neglect and even releases oxygen at night, making it ideal for bedrooms and study areas.

Care Tips:

• Tolerates low light and irregular watering.
• Water sparingly—once every 10–14 days.
• Wipe the leaves gently for a clean look.

5. ZZ Plant (Zamioculcas zamiifolia)

“Shiny, sculptural, and seriously low maintenance.”

The ZZ Plant’s thick, waxy leaves are glossy and upright, giving your home a polished look with very little effort. It’s highly drought-tolerant and works well in contemporary interiors.

Care Tips:

• Water only when soil is dry.
• Grows well in indirect light or even low-light spaces.
• Pair it with a matte white or gold-tone planter for an elegant contrast.

6. Anthurium

“For a pop of colour and luxury flair.”

With heart-shaped leaves and long-lasting red or pink spathes, the Anthurium is both exotic and vibrant. It adds a luxurious accent to coffee tables, sideboards, or dining setups.

Care Tips:

• Prefers high humidity and bright, indirect light.
• Water regularly but allow the topsoil to dry between watering.
• Use a decorative glass vase or crystal pot to enhance its brilliance.

7. Pothos (Epipremnum aureum)

“Trailing charm for shelves and corners.”

This vining plant is known for its lush, trailing habit and its ability to thrive just about anywhere. Great for hanging baskets or elevated shelves, it adds instant texture and movement to your space.

Care Tips:

• Trim regularly to encourage bushy growth.
• Water once the topsoil dries out.
• Excellent for kitchen shelves or workspace styling.
