Certain houseplants thrive in mist, while others do not. Here's everything you need to know. In the world, there are two types of houseplant keepers: those who mist and those who do not. And, believe it or not, it is a contentious issue. Team Mist argues that houseplants from tropical climates benefit from misting since they are humidity lovers; Team Don't Mist argues that spraying does not enhance humidity and may rather contribute to other issues such as insect and disease transmission.
Seeds Of Love In A Mist
Love In a Mist produces lovely star-shaped blooms in a variety of hues. The plants are native to Southern Europe and Northern Africa and are often used as border plants. They may give a dash of color to roads and sidewalks and look fantastic when paired with a white picket fence. The fragrant blooms bloom in late Spring to early Summer and attract a variety of butterflies and bees.
Love-in-the-mist is an upright perennial that grows to a height of one to two feet and bears blooms in refreshing colors of white, blue, pink, and purple. While I appreciate the variety of blossoms (around 15 are commonly available), my favorite is the classic âMiss Jekyll Indigo,â with its deep blue blooms that hover above the perfectly cut foliage.

The pansy-faced garden joker is the long-blooming, irrepressible heartsease (Zones 4 to 8), dubbed Johnny-jump-up. It attracts browsing bees by combining yellow, purple, blue, green, and white petals with black lines called honey guides. It thrives in partial shade as a fragrant ground cover from April through September. Allow it to self-seed or âjump upâ in unexpected locations. Affectionate Flowers
