Easy indoor plants
Looking for easy indoor plants to add greenery to your home? Then this list is for you! All of these are perfect houseplants for beginners, brown thumbs, or anyone who likes low-maintenance indoor plants.
If you want to be a successful indoor gardener, it's best to start with easy houseplants. I wanted to make a list to get you started. So below you'll find some of my favorites, all of which are very low maintenance. The best part is that you can build a nice collection of many wonderful, easy houseplants.
1. Peperomia
There are many different types of Peperomia, and all of them are very easy to care for indoor plants. Bent branches spill over the pot, making them ideal for hanging baskets or stacking on shelves.
2. Norfolk Island Pine (Arucaria heterophylla)
The best thing about Norfolk pines is that they can grow into large ground specimens and live for many years. Tuck it near a sunny window, keep the soil moist (but be careful not to overwater!), give it a little talk once in a while and it will thrive!
3. Heartleaf Philodendron (Philodendron heteraceum)
Because they don't like direct sun, they are the perfect choice for easy houseplants. It needs a little more water than others on this list, but it's not too messy.
4, Weeping fig (Ficus benjamina)
Another wonderful ground specimen, a well-maintained fig tree can become a small tree. I've had mine for years and it's about 8′ tall. Place it near a bright window and water it when the topsoil is dry, and your benjamina will live much longer.
5. Corn plant (Tracena fragrans)
If your home doesn't have much natural light, Dracaena Fragrans is the perfect choice. I've always lived next to a north facing window in my kitchen and it's as pleasant as can be. Keep the soil on the dry side, but don't let it become bone dry.
6. Chinese Evergreen (Achlonema cummutatum)
One of the best things about Chinese Evergreens is that they don't like too much sunlight or water. Allow the soil to dry out between waterings, but do not allow it to dry out completely.
7. Snake plant (Sansevieria trifasciata)
A popular houseplant with beautiful spiky foliage, snake plants are one of the easiest indoor plants you can get. Because they don't require a lot of water, they're perfect for filling hard-to-reach spots.
