Transforming your home into a lush oasis is easier than you think, especially with the right selection of plants. Whether your home gets full sunlight, partial light, or is shaded most of the day, there’s a perfect plant for every spot. Here are our top 9 recommendations for indoor plants in Cape Town this autumn and winter:

For Full Light:

1. Lavender (Lavandula): With its fragrant blooms and drought tolerance, lavender thrives in full sunlight. It adds a touch of Mediterranean charm to your space and attracts pollinators.
2. Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis): Another sun-loving herb, rosemary not only adds flavor to your cooking but also offers beautiful evergreen foliage. It’s perfect for containers and requires minimal maintenance.
3. Succulents (Various Species): Succulents like Echeveria, Sedum, and Aloe vera thrive in sunny spots and are incredibly low maintenance. Their unique shapes and colors add interest to any small space.

For Partial Light:
