Owning so many plants does attract pests but Dom says to keep Fungus gnats away to not overwater them and to let all plants dry before watering again. 

He shared shots of his tropical room to a plant loving Facebook page and received hundreds of likes and comments from fellow green thumbs.

‘Oh wow! How absolutely stunning. Just like sleeping in your own jungle,’ a plant fan wrote.

‘You must be having way too much oxygen in there,’ another jokingly wrote. 

Another plant enthusiast from Melbourne has also transformed his entire home into a luscious green ‘jungle’ after years of collecting rare and unusual plants.

25-year-old, Adam Lin,  owns more than 300 plants worth over $50,000 and says his love for indoor gardening blossomed back in 2016.

The plant lover started up the popular Instagram page Thirsty Plant Baby and has decorated his home with a plethora of potted and hanging greenery.

‘When I see an empty space, I immediately have a vision of how it would look like when it’s filled up with plants, it has certainly become an instinct when it comes to that,’ Adam told Daily Mail Australia.

He urges plant lovers to buy large foliage plants to 'create a focus point' instead of having a 'bunch of smaller ones as it mostly will look chaotic'

One of Adam's most spectacular makeovers is his family's bathroom in Taiwan where he recently transformed into a luscious jungle bathroom of his dreams

His indoor plant sanctuary has brought a source of great joy into his life. 

‘I get anxiety quite often so gardening has helped me through that, it brings me calmness and some peace I need during the hard times,’ Adam said. 

Despite having hundreds of plants under his roof, Adam explained how he doesn’t have a watering schedule in place as every plant is different.

‘Every plant requires different watering times so checking your plants on a regular basis is more ideal,’ he said. 

For beginners, he said you also need to understand the conditions inside your home, he urges plant lovers to buy large foliage plants to ‘create a focus point’.

‘If you don’t know where to start, try your local nurseries, as they will have plants that will thrive in the area you are living in and they can also give you advice on what plant to start with,’ Adam said. 

Big mistakes plant lovers make

 

Not planning thoroughly: I did that too when I got too excited and then I end up running back and forth to the stores.

Not knowing what lighting and humidity condition you have at home: Plants will normally look pretty as they are for one to two months. But they would start to look worse and worse until you replace them as they are not suitable for the spot you put them.

Plants are not perfect, they are living objects: In saying that, they will change with time and not looking like they were when you first bought them.

Using fake plants: Big no-no
