Houseplants are delightful to have around. They help with filtering out toxins from the air and make your home have a cozier vibe.
Fortunately, there are a few low-maintenance houseplants you can grow indoors that appreciate being almost completely independent. Here are our suggestions for the top five favorites you can select straight from our catalog!
5. Spathiphyllum Lily or Peace Lilyplants originate from the tropical rainforests of Central America. They have large, glossy leaves and beautiful, lily-like white blossoms. The Peace Lily is a popular ‘any occasion’ gift that’s very easy to maintain. It thrives indoors and requires little sunlight. The soil is best left moist. It can survive minimal watering when the soil is dry.
4. Croton is native to Southeast Asia and its oil has been used in traditional Chinese medicine. The Croton’s beautifully variegated color ranges from red, golden yellow, orange, green, and cream. Contrary to what is commonly known, the Croton is one of the easiest plants to grow indoors. They enjoy full to medium sunlight and thrive in moist (but not soggy) soil. They only need to be watered when the top of the soil is dry to the touch.
3. Arboricola, aka Parasol Plant or Umbrella Plant, is native to both Taiwan and Hainan. It has a high tolerance for inferior growing conditions. If that’s not enticing enough, it can also adapt to a wide variety of light levels. (But prefers higher light, if possible.)
This plant grows quickly and can become quite bushy. Luckily, it can also handle heavy pruning. Don’t be afraid to prune the plant down to a manageable size if it outgrows its space. Give it some room too and watch it grow endlessly!
They can grow up 4 feet tall and feature long, wide, green-and-yellow striped leaves with an outline of lighter green or yellow. They do best in full sun with very minimal water. Only water the Sansevieria when soil is completely dry. This might take longer if the plant is not in full sun.
