If you’re still getting the hang of gardening, don’t be afraid to experiment with different houseplants; some are simpler to maintain than others. Beginners may enjoy low or irregular light, temperature fluctuations, and occasional watering of easy-care houseplants. They work well in workplaces, dorm rooms, and even the least desirable areas of your house. You can easily buy these from a nursery or an online plant shop.
Here are some of the best indoor plants
Golden Pothos
It’s easy to see why golden pothos are so popular as a hanging plant. In its native setting, this plant can get very big, with big yellow and green leaves that can cover whole trees. As an indoor plant, golden pothos do well with little care and can easily grow from pots or hanging baskets. Even in water, it can grow without any trouble. If you take good care of it, it will grow big, colourful leaves that make it look even better.
Spider Plant
A healthy spider plant is truly impressive. It grows well in hanging pots or on pedestals, and its long, thin leaves bend elegantly. People really like the varied types. When the plant gets older, it makes plantlets, also called cuttings, on long stems. These make a beautiful hanging arrangement. It is easy to replant these plantlets to make more spider plants. Spider plants can live in a wide range of water, light, and temperature conditions.
Snake Plant
Snake plants have leaves that look like swords and have green bands that make them stand out. These plants are very tough. They like a lot of light, but they can handle low light if they have to. They don’t need a lot of water; as long as you don’t give them too much, they do well. Also, snake plants do well in places like offices. If you want to make more plants, you can easily split the main clump when it’s time to repot them.
Dragon Tree
Amazingly low-maintenance plants, dragon trees grow well in a variety of environments. Their red-edged, sword-shaped leaves emerge from a robust stalk. Dragon trees may grow up to 20 feet tall in their natural environment, although they usually reach just 6 feet tall indoors. It is best to water them when the top few inches of soil get dry, and they don’t need much fertiliser.
Moon Cactus
Compared to other cactus species, the moon cactus needs less watering and can withstand lower light levels. Furthermore, regular fertilisation is not necessary. Use fast-draining soil and place it in a container with drainage holes to keep it healthy. Watering should only occur when the soil is nearly completely dry since excessive wetness may cause rot and other problems.
Lucky Bamboo
Another kind of dracaena, lucky bamboo, is the ideal office plant. It grows well in difficult environments with low light levels, erratic irrigation, and contaminated air. It’s a popular choice for excellent gifts since many people think it brings good fortune and enhances the vitality (chi) of its surroundings.
Aloe
Aloe is a succulent; therefore, it can withstand periods of dryness without suffering from occasional neglect. Its long, thin leaves should get plump again when you water it. It also doesn’t need a lot of fertiliser. But it’s crucial to position it next to a window that lets in plenty of indirect light. To keep it healthy, make sure the soil and container allow enough drainage.
Echeveria
The gorgeous rosettes and vibrant, plump foliage of echeveria succulents make them very popular. They also need little maintenance. Although the intense afternoon heat may burn their leaves, they do well in bright light. It’s crucial to plant them on soil that drains well. When the soil is mostly dry, it is time to water it.
Ox Tongue
The lengthy, rough leaves of the plant, often referred to as “ox tongue”, give it its name. Though they may show a variety of colours and patterns, these leaves are usually green in colour. It needs protection from the strong afternoon sun, but it does well in bright light. When the soil is almost completely dry, water the plant, being careful not to let any water build up in the leaves.
Jade
The popular succulent jade is said to bring good fortune. It has deep green, oval-shaped leaves on woody stalks. Taking care of this plant is simple. All you need to do is choose well-draining soil and set it in an area with strong, indirect light. Water it more often in the spring and summer, but at all times of the year, take care not to allow the soil to become too wet.
