# Which plants are good for a bedroom in the UAE?

**Short answer:** Snake plant, ZZ plant, peace lily and golden pothos suit dim, air-conditioned UAE bedrooms; areca palm and parlour palm are pet-safe options that also soften dry air. For scent, lavender or Arabian jasmine near a bright window. Keep plants out of the AC's direct stream and water sparingly, since bedrooms are usually the coolest room.

Bedrooms in the UAE tend to be the darkest and coldest rooms in the home, with blackout curtains and the AC running all night. That points to low-light, drought-tolerant plants that do not mind 20°C: [snake plant](https://heavenlyplants.ae/products/snake-plant-laurentii), [ZZ plant](https://heavenlyplants.ae/products/zz-plant), [Chinese evergreen](https://heavenlyplants.ae/products/chinese-evergreen) and [golden pothos](https://heavenlyplants.ae/products/golden-pothos).
If the room gets morning light, a [peace lily](https://heavenlyplants.ae/products/peace-lily) adds flowers and tells you when it is thirsty by drooping. For a calmer, softer look with pets around, [areca palm](https://heavenlyplants.ae/products/areca-palm) is non-toxic and enjoys the humidity from an en-suite. Our [Bedroom Calm set](https://heavenlyplants.ae/products/bedroom-calm-set) is built for exactly this room.
Scented plants work when there is a bright window: [lavender](https://heavenlyplants.ae/products/lavender) and [Arabian jasmine](https://heavenlyplants.ae/products/jasmine-plant) both want several hours of sun, so place them on the sill rather than a bedside table. Claims about plants purifying a whole room's air overnight are overstated; enjoy them for calm and greenery, not as an air filter.
