Embrace the joy of indoor gardening with these seven resilient plants. Even if you lack a green thumb, these hardy species thrive with minimal care, transforming your living space into a lush, green sanctuary.
Sansevieria
If you’re looking for a plant that can endure a lot of neglect-not that I advocate such treatment-this is the one for you.
- These waxy-leaved plants need lots of bright, filtered light (which means no direct sun).
- Allow the soil to dry out almost completely between waterings for the best result.
Ficus elastica
Thrives in lower-light conditions and is forgiving when it comes to missed watering.
Monstera deliciosa: an attractive, drought-tolerant plant that is great for beginners
It requires bright to medium indirect light and medium water, but can tolerate a little drought.
- If you forget to water your Monstera, it won’t hold a grudge. It is easy to propagate from cuttings.
