Hi everyone! I am so glad you are reading my blog today. I will be talking about houseplants that grow at a rapid pace. These plants can be good if you are impatient or like to see progress fast. They are also good if you want to fill a big space but only have the budget for a smaller plant. Kiddos also are drawn to caring for these plants since they can see that the care they are giving them is paying off!

The first fast-growing houseplant is the asparagus fern. Asparagus ferns have soft fuzzy looking foliage that can produce small white flowers in the right conditions. It likes to be placed in indirect light. If the plant gets too much light, its leaves will turn yellow. Water this houseplant when the top of the soil feels dry and water less frequently in the winter. The asparagus fern can grow to be up to ten feet tall in the right conditions.

Next, is the Benjamin ficus. This is one of the most popular trees to keep inside. It is an evergreen with droopy branches that have glossy oblong leaves. This is why it is sometimes referred to as a weeping fig. It likes to receive indirect sunlight. Water when the soil feels dry and water less in the winter. Inside this plant will grow up to six feet tall and four feet wide. The benjamin ficus is able to survive in less than ideal growing conditions, but for the fastest growth follow what it likes best.

Last we have the watermelon rubber plant. This is a great choice if you want some interesting looking foliage in your house. The watermelon rubber plant has heart shaped leaves with a watermelon rhine like pattern. This plant will thrive if placed in indirect sunlight. You should water it when the soil feels dry to the touch. Watch your plant get up to one foot high!

What plant do you have that grows really fast? Have you ever moved a plant to a different area and noticed that it started growing faster?
