Learning how to decorate your space is difficult, but you don’t have to be an expert to put together a place that makes you happy. One way that you may look to upgrading your home is some indoor plants. You don’t have to be a plant expert to know that you can host greenery in your home. Being a good plant parent is all about picking what works for you.
“When choosing a plant, you should consider the type of lifestyle, habits, and home environment you have,” says Bloomscape’s gardening expert, Lindsay Pangborn.
From long, trailing house plants to ones with blooming flowers, scroll below for the 16 best indoor plants.
- Peace Lily
If you’ve been able to keep indoor plants alive in the past (congrats!), you may consider adding a peace lily to your house plant collection. They just require a tiny bit more TLC. Just ensure the soil is moist (not soggy), and you’ll have gorgeous blooming lilies soon enough.
2. Dracaena Gold Star
The Dracaena Gold Star is another easy-going, low-maintenance plant that can easily adapt to a wide range of low to high light environments. It’s a simple way to (literally) add life to that awkward empty corner of your space.
3. Money Tree
Often used in Feng Shui, the long, pointed leaves will add a cool, calming effect to your home.
4. Monstera Deliciosa
You’ve probably seen these tropical-vibe plants before because they’re super trendy. Just water it every two weeks and you’re set.
5. ZZ Plant
The ZZ plant is fab because it’s drought-tolerant. In some cultures, it’s thought that this plant invites friendship and prosperity to the space, making it an amazing housewarming gift.
6. Coffee Plant
Don’t be fooled by the name: it won’t replace your morning brew. However, the greenery does smell amazing, and it is super forgiving in low light. The plant does tend to get dry, so make sure you water it regularly.
7. Parlor Palm
When you add a Parlor Palm to your home, you’ll feel like you’re in your very own tropical garden. The best part? You only need to water it once every couple of weeks.
8. Fiddle Leaf Fig
You’ll love the Fiddle Leaf Fig’s broad, vibrant green leaves. And on top of that, the plant only needs to be watered only every two weeks in the summer and once a month in the winter.
9. Bird’s Nest Fern
If you think you have too many indoor plants, you’ll realize there’s a whole other room that could use some love. This uniquely-shaped botanical thrives in medium, indirect light and a humid environment, so it’ll flourish next to your shower.
10. Sansevieria (Snake Plant)
Do you tend to kill pretty much any greenery within just a few days? Then a snake plant may be your best friend. Snake plants are a low-maintenance plant known for surviving droughts, making them perfect for newbies living in almost any environment.
