Indoor fountains add humidity to homes while bringing the sound and movement of water into an environment that is typically devoid of nature. Indoor fountains range in size from taller than 5 feet to as small as a cup and saucer. No matter the size, indoor fountains are a popular way to add something extra to your living space. Too much humidity indoors can cause rot and mold, so it is important to choose the proper fountain for your size home. Place fountains on waterproofed surfaces to avoid possible water damage. If you decide to add fish, make sure that the fountain is painted and sealed with pet-safe products. Ensure that your ceiling is tall enough to accommodate such a large fountain. Large tiered fountains make powerful focal points in foyers. Their sheer size is dramatic---but when you add extras like plants and fish, they become showstoppers. Plant legally obtained mangrove trees throughout the tiers. There are more than 50 species of mangroves; so be sure you choose mangroves that will remain small enough to keep indoors. Add miniature plants to the tiers to create an entire ecosystem. Allow plants like creeping Jenny to fall over the fountain's edge for a soft, natural appearance. Plants suitable for this fountain idea include creeping Jenny (Lysimachia nummularia), duckweed (Lemna minor), miniature horsetail rush (Equisetum arvense), cardinal flower (Lobelia cardinalis), bacopa (Bacopa monniera), ficus, creeping ficus (Ficus pumila) serissa (Serissa foetida), water blue bells (Ruellia brittoniana) and miniature waterlilies. Keep the ficus and serissa potted in waterproof containers to avoid root rot. They like the humidity, not sodden root systems. Freestanding flat fountains have a small footprint, making them a good choice for smaller homes. Try breaking up large rooms by using freestanding fountains as dividers. If your fountain has more than one level, try planting tall reeds in the top to add height. When light shines through the reeds, it will cast attractive sunbeams on the other side. Another option is to mount a flat fountain. This type of fountain works well in narrow sunrooms and enclosed porches. Tabletop Fountains Tabletop fountains are a good option for apartment-dwellers or those with small children who may drown in larger bodies of water. Though tiny, these fountains make quite a statement when they are properly landscaped. Keep the table surface where the fountain is displayed clean and organized for the biggest impact. Float a few scented candles for a soft, dinner glow. If candles aren't your thing, simply plant the fountain with lucky bamboo, duckweed, azolla and other small plants. A cluster of small fountains of varying heights creates a beautiful centerpiece in any home. Finally, let me have a conclusion.
