While some may naturally have a green thumb or have been house plant pros for years, the rest of us may not be quite as confident when it comes to picking the right house plants, or better yet, keeping them alive for long. We’ve compiled a list of some of the most low-maintenance house plants and their needs so that you can feel confident about livening up your home with some greenery.
Aloe
For a desert look, try this hardy, and medicinal, plant. Allow the soil to dry completely between watering – depending on the humidity, you may only need to water every 2-3 weeks!
Snake Plant
This succulent with thick, waxy leaves loves being potbound and literally thrives on being ignored! Bonus, they grow at any light level, so you can place them anywhere in your home.
ZZ Plant
Not only does this plant boast a beautiful texture, but it needs little water. For those apt to neglect their house plants a bit, this one is perfect. It also can thrive in any light!
Pothos
Perfect for plant hangers hooked into the ceiling, pothos is a fan favorite for many reasons, It’s fast-growing nature means you won’t have to wait on that luscious greenery to fill out, and its variegated leaves add some visual interest.
Rubber Plants
For a darker, almost red-tinged greenery, try out a rubber plant. These guys prefer bright, indirect light so as long as a window is nearby, you can get away with placing this plant in a variety of places.
