Jungalows, Indoor Gardens, + Living Room Rainforests We'd Copy Right Now
Let me just say it straight out and here at the beginning. I do not have a green thumb. I am the daughter and the grand-daughter of green thumbs — but I have not yet seen the gift pass to me. (I’m saying “yet” because maybe it’s an evolved gift that won’t come to me until my late thirties? This is improbable, but I can hope.)
But I’m a nature girl, through and through. I need plants or greenery in my house. At a certain point in the week, I need to be outside and surrounded by trees and flowers and water. It’s my outlet. My therapy. My church.
We have a smattering of plants throughout our house, but it’s no jungalow. My fiancé is pretty much exclusively in charge of their maintenance — I just say nice things to them and give them encouragement to keep growing. (For a short while we were both looking after them and very quickly over-watered and killed one. Thus, a one-person watering schedule was born.)
So when I see pictures of these indoor jungles - these greenery havens - my heart goes pitter patter a bit. How fun would it be to create a little garden or a miniature rainforest inside of your space? Aside from having the cleanest indoor air on the block, you’d definitely be happier from having so much life all around you!
Here’s a collection of some of the dreamiest indoor jungles imaginable.

So swoony. I love the lamp pictured above that holds a little living terrarium inside. I did terrariums in jars and cloches one year as gifts for friends and family, and they were such a hit! They’re so easy and inexpensive - I got lots of the containers from thrift or antique stores - and they can last for years.
But if you’re truly a black-thumb like me and keeping things alive other than yourself, your children, + your pets is difficult for you like it is for me — check out this shoppable collection that has some artificial + faux greenery in it. A fiddle fig tree that I can’t kill? Sounds like a much more pragmatic investment for me when my fiancé puts a stop-limit on living plants he has to water.

I am awed and envious.
I could probably slowly inch us towards a jungalow space like this, but it would probably have to be a mix of real + faux plants and there would definitely have to be an excel spreadsheet or a watering chart plastered somewhere to help us keep track of our plant inventory and their sunlight + watering schedule and needs! (Gold star stickers too - just to make me feel accomplished when I successfully water something + don’t kill it.)
Do any of y’all have swoon-worthy jungles in your spaces? I’d love to see pictures if they’re on your instagram, leave me a comment below so I can check it out! What’s your recipe for success or hacks that have made you a more successful plant parent?
