Thinking of adding some green to your home but don’t know where to start?
Welcome to the world of indoor plants—where fresh air meets low effort and big vibes. Whether you're a certified plant killer or just curious about what all the hype is about, this beginner’s guide will walk you through everything you need to become a plant parent (without the stress).
Top 5 Low-Maintenance Indoor Plants:
-
Snake Plant – Tolerant of low light and irregular watering. Basically unkillable.
-
ZZ Plant – Thrives on neglect and still looks stunning.
-
Peace Lily – Loves filtered light and even tells you when it needs water (drama queen, but we love her).
-
Areca Palm – A tropical touch for your living room, minus the maintenance.
-
Pothos – Grows like crazy, and can even live in water alone.
Picking the Right Plant for Your Space:
-
Low light? Go for snake plant or ZZ.
-
Want air-purifying benefits? Peace lily and pothos are your besties.
-
Small space? Opt for compact pots or trailing plants on shelves.
Care Basics:
-
Watering: Once a week for most. Let soil dry a bit between waterings.
-
Light: Bright indirect light is your safest bet.
-
Repotting: Once a year or when roots outgrow the pot.
-
Bonus Tip: Dust those leaves! Plants breathe through them.
