Fortunately, there are plenty of beautiful houseplants that bring bright, fresh colors into any home and are ready to live with a forgetful gal like me. While my indoor herb garden might end up withering away this summer, these plants will surely make it through. Read on to see the variety of plants that can survive with minimal watering.
1. Orchids
Part of the 6 Easy-Care Flowers To Grow Inside, these delicate beauties are native to climates with high amounts of rainfall, followed by long periods of drought. That means they're able to store water in their system over long periods of time. Only water them once a week when the weather is cool and up to twice a week when it’s warmer—only in the morning. Watering at night can lead to stagnant water and diseases. If the soil is moist, don't water, as it can lead to root rot, loss of buds, and soft, withered leaves.
2. Lucky Bamboo
Lucky Bamboo can grow in just a vase filled with water or in a pot of soil. To learn How To Grow Lucky Bamboo using the water technique, put pebbles on the bottom of the vase for support, and change the water every few weeks. Make sure that the vase always has at least an inch of water in it at all times. Fluoride in tap water can cause tip burn on Lucky Bamboo. But by letting a glass of water "rest" for a day on a countertop before adding it to your vase will eliminate the fluoride and make it more suitable for your plant to drink in.
3. Peace Lily
Peace Lilies are one of the 7 Plants That Purify Indoor Air and are more tolerant to underwatering than overwatering. Just check them once per week to see if the soil is dry to see if they need a watering. They are drought tolerant, so it’s fine to let them droop before watering again without fear of damaging the plant.
4. Anthuriums
This plant loves high humidity, so misting once a week instead of heavy watering will make its leaves look and feel better. Place a layer of pebbles on the bottom of the container before putting in soil and planting to help with drainage. Anthuriums are susceptible to root rot, but if the plant sits in a pot and becomes too dried out, the roots can be difficult to rewet.

5. Crown Of Thorns
You guessed it: A cactus made it onto this list. This flowering, prickly plant only needs to be watered when the top half of the soil is dry. In fact, too much watering can lead to rhizoctoria fungus, which is caused by excessive moisture and makes the plant look limp and unhealthy. Make sure to use gloves when handling this plant, as the sap causes skin irritation and is poisonous if eaten by you or your pet

5 Creative DIY Lampshades
By karari
Add pretty spring flair to your home with our ideas for centerpieces, table settings, door decorations, Easter egg displays and more.
1. Crabapple delight
Take a few cuttings from a crabapple tree and place the twigs in a milk bottle or vase. Search for varying colors of blooms, or add a few flowers fresh from the garden.
2. Spring greeting
A clear cookie jar shows off a mix of dyed eggs and a medley of flowers united by their color.
Start with a large-mouth cookie jar or canister, a clear drinking glass that fits inside the jar, dyed hard-cooked eggs and flowers. Center the drinking glass inside the jar and carefully stack the eggs between the glass and jar, alternating egg colors. Fill the glass with water.
Cut the stems of your favorite flowers (we used roses, gerbera daisies, tulips, hyacinths and bells of Ireland) to the desired length and arrange them in the glass.
3. Bulb planter centerpiece
Bulb planters are handy for getting daffodils into the ground in fall, and they double as quaint containers in spring. Set a single planter in the center of a small table, put one at each place setting or stagger several in a line down the center of a long table. Drop a small jar in the center of each planter, fill the jar with water and add a half-dozen or so of your favorite daffodil blooms.
4. Petite pretties
Sedums and violets planted in soil-filled, dyed Easter eggs say spring in a simple way. Moss fills empty spots in the carboard egg carton.
5. Casual display
Cuttings from the garden bring the outdoors to your table. Display in beaker vases; elevate one or two on wood slices to add another woodsy touch.

5 Bright and Easy Spring Decorating Ideas
By karari
Take a cue from these Midwestern bloggers on how to decorate your home for spring.
1. Customized bunch
A container in the shape of an initial personalizes a flower display or gift. Erin Souder (earnesthomeco.com) filled an M-shape papier-mâché letter with fresh buds for a Mother’s Day gift. Wet floral foam holds short-stemmed flowers in place. Using smaller flowers, like mums, keeps the letter’s shape visible.
2. Serene scene
Play with color in a sweet and simple way. Cobalt glasses pop on Kelly Rinzema's (thelilypadcottage.com) all-white mantel. Vintage window frames and a chalkboard add architectural interest. Wildflowers complete the serene setting.
3. Preserved beauty
Bring nature indoors with a wreath made of flowers from your garden. Rubyellen Bratcher (abeautifulmess.com) created her arrangement by grouping bands of flowers around an 18-inch grapevine wreath. She suggests choosing flowers that dry nicely—such as hydrangeas, pyracanthas and craspedias—for a decoration that will last all season.
4. Engaging tablescape
Weathered pots and ripe tomatoes are a bold contrast to natural linens in this garden-to-table arrangement. Andrea Dickerson (fadedplains.blogspot.com) mixes frill and functionality with a centerpiece of herbs. Garden scissors on the table allow guests to trim an herb of choice to sprinkle on their meal.
5. Dainty design
An assortment of vintage handkerchiefs brings seasonal color to this room while doubling as curtain panels. Maria Marcusse (rustyhinge.blogspot.com) shops garage sales, thrift stores and flea markets to find old hankies. She fashioned curtains by connecting the handkerchiefs with three small hand-stitches along the top and bottom of each.

5 Spring Blogger Projects We Love

For all the boho style lovers, we prepared ten home decor ideas that you can use for future inspiration. Some of these are for the whole room in general, while others stick to certain details. You will see that transforming your home into an artistic, colorful place can be easily done with just a little bit of imagination and some money!
1. Add Art
via hackpr.co
There’s one thing for sure that you mustn’t skip if you want your home to be boho – there’s no such thing as boho home without art! Art is mandatory here and the more colorful it is, the more boho the result will be. Don’t forget that the boho style is all about art, so not having any in your house is going to feel like you’ve missed one really important thing. This picture is just another example on how to mix minimalism with boho. No matter if you want your wall art to be more simple or more bold, just make sure to have plenty of it.
2. Plants Make it Perfect
via homebnc.com
Another very important detail that you mustn’t forget if you want your home to be boho is that besides art, plants are essential as well. See from the picture yourself – there are five plants in only one room! So, when decorating any room, make sure to add plenty of plants, no matter if they’re small succulents or bigger plants and flowers. They will be an amazing detail that will make your interior prettier, plus they can spread beautiful floral scent all across the room!
3. Play with Designs
via ruemag.com
Some of the previous pictures were showing the most boho way of decorating an interior. This one is a mixture of modernism with boho. There aren’t bold colors everywhere, but they’re just used for the chairs. Same comes for the carpet too! But, see how these two are two different designs. Boho is not only experiment with colors and textures, but with design prints as well. There are so many combinations that you can come up with!
4. Boho Porch Hangs
via ladyflashback.com
Let’s talk about the porch a little bit, shall we? Usually we don’t pay too much attention to this part of the house (with exception to those who really do!) and it stays empty and dull. If you want to make it boho, just use all the tips we have given you so far. Add a little rug, surrounded it with your favorite plants and get few chairs and a table, or if you want to, make it a porch swing chair or bed. You would love to spend those warm, summer nights at your porch!
5. Boho Way of Lightning
vai digsdigs.com
And last, it’s right to say that what kind of light you have in your boho house matters too. The idea with Christmas lights hanged across the room you have probably seen so many times on social media is oh-so-boho. But, it doesn’t have to be Christmas lights. Pick a lamp shade or any other lighting object that will add a dimmed light effect on your room and enjoy the atmosphere.

5 Home Decor Ideas for the Boho Style Lovers
By karari
Decorations for your front door, tabletop, mantel and yard are among our most-repinned fall decorating ideas on Pinterest.
1. Orange-and-white centerpiece
White pumpkins encircled by bittersweet vine and set along an orange table runner create a striking table arrangement.
2. Tissue paper pumpkins
Don’t let these pumpkins fool you; the designs may look painted, but the patterns are actually created with tissue paper. Download our free patterns below for instructions and templates.
3. Gold-leaf pumpkin
This white-and-gold arrangement dresses up a porch or mantel. Coat real or crafts-store leaves with gold spray paint, then glue them to small white pumpkins (look for varieties such as 'Lumina' or Cotton Candy at your local farmers market or pumpkin patch). Paint small orange gourds gold to match the color scheme.
4. Rake door decoration
An old rake head becomes a clever door decoration when you add bittersweet, tips of juniper or any other fall foliage you may have in your yard. (Purchased bittersweet, leaves and flowers work great, too.) Tuck stems of vines, leaves or flowers into the hollow end of the rake head and secure with tightly wrapped jute.
5. Wire basket outdoor display
Wire baskets hold pumpkins and faux leaves for an easy fall front door display. Pots of mums complete the inviting look. (To prolong the life of your mums, be sure to water when dry and remove any dead blooms.)
