JAKARTA - Do you know what to pay attention to when you want to create a minimalist home garden? In addition to the structure and design of the minimalist home garden itself, you also have to pay attention to the types of plants you plant at home, you know!

Usually, what are the types that can be planted in your minimalist garden? Let's follow the instructions from Kania below!

Kamboja tree

Want to have a minimalist home garden that not only looks beautiful, but has a fragrant smell? The Cambodian tree is the most appropriate solution. Also known as Frangipani or Plumeria, not only as a decoration in a minimalist home garden, frangipani flowers are also often used as raw materials for perfumes such as perfume or spa fragrances.

Aloe tree

For maximum effect in a minimalist home garden, an Aloe plant or tree is one of the most recommended. Unlike the Aloe Vera plant, aka aloe vera, the Aloe variety that is often used in minimalist home gardens is the Aloe Barbarea type.

This Aloe tree comes from South Africa and can grow up to 18 meters. What's more, this Aloe tree is resistant to high temperatures, including in Indonesia, which has tropical temperatures and minimal maintenance. If you choose this Aloe tree for a minimalist home garden, don't forget to add a patio chair underneath to relax, OK!

Japanese Maple Plant

Talking about a minimalist home garden, the Japanese are one of the experts in presenting a beautiful all-green minimalist concept. One of their mainstays is Japanese Maple. With an artistic branch shape and beautiful leaf color, the Japanese maple plant ranges from one to five meters and is suitable for small to medium sized minimalist home gardens.

Cycad Tree

Better known as the hajj fern, the cycad tree is one of the most common tree species in minimalist home gardens. Included in the family Cycadaceae, the cycad tree has the appearance of leaves that resemble feathers and grow outward from the trunk.

Cycad trees generally experience slow growth. This type of ornamental tree can grow up to 3-4 meters. Cycad trees can grow in the tropics, no wonder this plant is found in Southeast Asia.

Sansevieria Plant

Once popular in 1950, the Sansevieria ornamental garden is now booming again as a complement to a minimalist home garden. Having another rather spooky name, namely the snake plant, this plant from the Sansevieria genus has no less than 70 species, you know! Sansevieria varieties are also favored because they do not require much care. The important thing is that you don't put it in a place that is too hot or too cold.
