It is not equally warm everywhere in the house.
That's why plants don't feel equally at home in every place.
Green potted plants do well in cool locations.
The stairwell in an apartment building or the hallway that is only used for walking through are not the most comfortable places.
If you still want to add a little color to them, you might think about simply placing a houseplant there.
A good idea, but also one that needs to be thought through.
An orchid or other plants that require a lot of care are not suitable for cool staircases.
Instead, easy-care green potted plants do well in these locations, where it is cool and usually rather dark.

According to
Plantwerk.de

On the other hand, it copes well with drought and does not tolerate wet soil because then, according to
Samenhaus.de
, root rot can quickly form.
The cold in a stairwell wouldn't bother the spider plant at all.
These plants thrive at almost all temperatures between ten and 30 degrees Celsius.
It just grows faster when it's warm than when it's cold.
The ivy plant
The ivy belongs to the arum family and is also suitable as a hanging plant or as a pot plant.
It can climb and twine and, if you let it, develop aerial roots up to ten meters long.
The ivy plant needs little water and should only be watered when the top layer of soil in the pot is really dry.
In addition, the colder the room, the less water the plant needs.
The ivy is very easy to care for and thrives wonderfully in a dark or partially shaded place that does not have to be particularly warm.
Temperatures between twelve and 15 degrees Celsius are well suited for the plant.
The lucky feather
The lucky feather is also an arum plant and one might soon think that it has this name because even beginners have luck with it.
The lucky feather is very easy to care for and thrives almost anywhere, even in a cold stairwell.
It has green, tapered leaves that grow in pairs on stems.
It doesn't need much water because the plant can store liquid.
But she doesn't like wet feet at all, which is why you should install a drainage system in the pot.
In addition, the soil should always be dry before watering the lucky feather again.
This plant thrives even at temperatures of a cool ten degrees.
