Some of us just aren’t good at taking care of plants, but we still want to enjoy the benefits of house plants that brighten up our homes. Here’s a list of 15 house plants that are easy to take care of and hard to kill.
Pothos is a vine that is known as one of the easiest plants to take care of because it can survive little sunlight and over or underwatering. It’s also known as “devil’s ivy” because it just won’t die.
Yucca’s main requirement is a lot of sun. As long as you place this plant in a sunny spot and make sure it’s in a sturdy, deep container that will support its weight, it should stay happy. If you’re not good at watering plants, yucca will be your friend as it only needs to be watered sparingly.
Jade is perfect for anyone who forgets to water their plants because it’s been known to survive more than a month without any water due to its ability to store water in its leaves.
Don’t like messy soil? Try an air plant. These plants don’t require any soil. Just be sure to soak them in water for 2-3 hours every 10 days.
If your problem is overwatering, a peace lily might just be the plant for you because they can handle just that. Just provide enough light and this plant should be able to tolerate some overwatering.
The Chinese money plant is very low maintenance – just water weekly and keep in a shady spot. This plant is the plant that keeps on giving because you can replant the pieces that begin to grow from the base of the stem. These make great gifts – especially housewarming presents.
Calathea is a beautiful, colorful plant that’s easy to keep alive. Just make sure the soil is consistently moist and keep away from bright light.
This plant prefers a shaded spot outside of direct light which is great if you’re working with minimal sunny spots. It requires watering just once a week as soon as you notice the soil has become dry.
This lovely plant in the same family as the pineapple is a great plant for indoors because it prefers a temperature of 70 degrees. It’s also known to last quite some time, so it should be around for a while.
The Chinese evergreen plant loves indirect, low sunlight, making it a great option for the house. With their unique leaf pattern, they are a beautiful addition to any room – which is perfect because they’re very adaptable to most room temperatures and lighting.
Philodendron plants can handle minimal care – in fact, they prefer to be a little dry and they tolerate low light.
Kalanchoe is a succulent that grows colorful flowers and can handle harsh conditions, including dryness and fluctuations in temperatures.
This tall plant, with its sharp, pointy leaves, will die if it is watered too much, so it’s perfect for those of us who forget to water our plants. They can easily go a month without being watered.
Dumb Cane, also known as Dieffenbachia, is easy to maintain and likes warmer temperatures but doesn’t like direct, unfiltered sunlight.
The ZZ plant may be last on our list, but it’s one of the most indestructible plants around. It can tolerate scarce water, low light, and dry climates, making it a tough plant to kill.
