A Beginners Guide To Indoor Plants For Your Loft

By Carl Messenger-Lehmann


Attending University is an exciting and sometimes stressful time for many students. For many, it's the first time they've been away from home living independently. To make sure you're successful both educationally and personally, be purposeful about your student life and follow these 10 tips for living away from home.

Our off-campus lofts were designed with you - the student - in mind. Spacious and close to campus, they offer comfort, convenience, and quality. There is something for everyone. Here are some of the features you can expect. Whatever your studying needs, we have you covered in our 3600 square foot quiet study zone. You have access to WiFi and a board room with a white board and projector in case you need to write out your thought process. There are also tables set up for study groups as well as private cubicles.

Be intentional about making friends who share the same interests and values. Your friends become your family, so choose friends who will help and support you, but who will be fun to hang out with too. Organize your time. There's no one to tell you what to do and when, so get a day planner or use your phone to make a schedule. Between classes, studying, work, and meetings, you need to be organized to be successful.

Eternity Plant - requires watering only 3 times a month and requires minimal indirect lighting. Another great plant for beginners because you can actually bring this baby back to life! Lucky Bamboo - so named because they are believed to bring luck to their surroundings, they need need very little care. They require bright indirect sunlight and about an inch of water in their pebble-filled base. Peace Lily - has a tell when it is thirsty besides turning brown; it droops a bit. Medium indirect sunlight is perfect, and the leaves will yellow if it is receiving too much light. African Violet - a great way to add color to your greenery, these blossom about 9 months out of the year. Water them only when you feel the top soil is dry and keep them in moderate lighting conditions out of direct sunlight.

Stay connected to home. Talk to family and friends on a regular basis. They want to hear how you're doing at school so make it a regular habit to connect with loved ones. Ask for help if you need it. This adjustment isn't always easy, but help is available. If you're struggling emotionally, talk to a counselor or friend. If academics are harder than you thought, look for a tutor or speak to your professor about extra help.
