Of the many Harry Potter spells we wished made their way into the real world, the Herbivicus Spell takes the top spot. For those unaware, using the charm causes plants and flowers to grow rapidly.
Unfortunately, there’s no magic wand you can twirl to make that happen. That means you’ll have to wait sometime before seeing your homegrown bounty in its full glory.
But the good news is, it doesn’t have to be that way.
Instead of growing just any plant – why not choose the fastest ones? And if you need a hand with that, we’ve got you covered. We’ve compiled a list of the fastest-growing plants, even in not-so-ideal conditions.
- Arrowhead Plant (Syngonium Podophyllum)
Known for its arrowhead-shaped leaves, the Arrowhead Plant goes by many names, such as five fingers, Nepthytis, and American evergreen. It can be grown both indoors and outdoors with other plants or alone.
Caring for the Arrowhead Plant is quite easy, and that’s precisely why most prefer using it indoors.
However, as the plant ages, it begins to vine. So, it’s best to grow it in a hanging basket or support it with poles.
- Purple Passion Plant (Gynura Aurantiaca)
If you’re looking for a plant that doesn’t only sprout fast but looks otherworldly, consider the Purple Passion Plant. Its leaves are dark green and the edges bright purple, making the weed the center of attraction anywhere you place it.
Since the Purple Passion Plant doesn’t need direct sunlight, you can keep it in your room for a personal effect. Be warned, though: the flowers can sometimes leave an unpleasant smell. So, it’s better to remove the dead flower heads from the plant.
- Jade Plant (Crassula Ovata)
Commonly used in offices and homes to increase productivity, the Jade Plant is a succulent type. Although its pink or white flowers don’t grow very big, they’re still very pleasant to look at.
And the best part is, you don’t have to have special knowledge to provide proper care and maintenance to the Jade Plant. You just have to keep a few important factors in mind, such as
- Water
- Light
- Temperature
- Fertilizer
In addition to being adorable, the Jade Plant is considered a symbol of good luck.
- Snake Plant (Ansevieria Trifasciata)
The Snake Plant is perfect for well-meaning but time-pressed gardening enthusiasts.
Depending on the surrounding conditions, this Asparagaceae family member can grow as high as three feet.
The leaves of this plant go straight up into the air. So, they need plenty of space – be mindful of this.
(Fun Fact: The Snake Plant is also called Mother-In-Law’s tongue due to its pointy, sharp, and tall leaves)
Also, the Snake Plant’s growth largely depends on sunlight. The more it gets, the higher it would shoot up.
- Dieffenbachia (Dieffenbachia Oerstedii)
Think of the shiniest green leaves you can imagine. The picture that your mind conjures is most likely of Dieffenbachia – a very popular houseplant.
In fact, the leaves are so green that, at first glance, it may seem like they’re made of plastic. And the credit for that goes to the plant’s extremely smooth texture.
Furthermore, it needs little watering – about half a liter every week in summer and 2 or 3 weeks in winter.
Important: Remember to keep it away from direct sunlight, as it can damage the leaves.
