Top Indoor Summer Plants
#1 Snake Plant
The Snake Plant, also known as Mother-in-Law’s Tongue, is one of the most versatile and resilient indoor plants—making it ideal for Florida’s warm summers. With its tall, architectural leaves and variegated green pattern, it adds a sleek, modern look that complements the upscale interiors at Element. Snake plants are incredibly low-maintenance and require minimal watering, especially during humid months.
They thrive in bright, indirect sunlight—perfect for spots near a large window or balcony door—but they’re also surprisingly tolerant of low-light areas. This makes them a great choice for bedrooms, hallways, or even stylish bathrooms. Another major benefit? Snake plants are known for their air-purifying qualities, removing toxins like formaldehyde and benzene from the air, making your apartment feel cleaner and fresher during the summer months when windows tend to stay closed.
#2 Pothos
Pothos is a go-to indoor plant for anyone looking to add an instant splash of vibrant greenery to their home. Known for its heart-shaped leaves and long, cascading vines, Pothos creates a lush, tropical vibe that feels right at home in sunny Kissimmee. It’s incredibly adaptable and thrives in a variety of lighting conditions—from bright, indirect light to low light—making it easy to place just about anywhere in your apartment.
You can drape it over shelves, let it spill from a hanging planter, or train it to climb up a trellis or wall hook for a custom green installation. One of the best features of Pothos is how easily it propagates. Simply snip a healthy vine, place it in a glass of water, and watch the roots grow over time. Not only does this give you new plants for free, but it also adds a minimalist and stylish touch to your windowsill or countertop.
#3 Peace Lily
For those who want a plant that combines greenery with seasonal blooms, the Peace Lily is an excellent summer choice. Its lush, deep green leaves and striking white flowers bring a graceful, calming presence to any room. The Peace Lily enjoys warm temperatures and moderate humidity, both of which are naturally provided by the Florida climate—just be sure it’s placed in a spot with filtered or indirect sunlight, as direct rays can scorch its leaves.
It’s also a highly communicative plant, making it ideal for beginners. When it’s thirsty, the Peace Lily’s leaves droop slightly, but with a quick watering, it perks up again within hours. This responsive nature makes care simple and satisfying. Additionally, like the Snake Plant, Peace Lilies help improve indoor air quality by removing pollutants such as ammonia and carbon monoxide. It’s a perfect addition to a quiet bedroom corner, home office, or entryway where it can be both a decorative focal point and a wellness booster.
These plants will add pops of color to your space and get it ready for the summer season. Come home to our apartments in Kissimmee, FL and contact us at Element Luxury Apartments today!
