Houseplants are known for their various benefits from ease of care to air purification to calming affects. Even when you lack a green thumb, houseplants can be your best friend, because they are often low maintenance and easy to care for. These décor lifesavers are known to boost health and wellbeing while breathing life into your spaces. This time of year, many stores are flaunting all their beautiful houseplants that will be perfect for your space. How do you decide what is right for your space?
We’ve compiled a list of a few options that you can add to your living spaces. Many of these require low-light and can tolerate some neglect and still thrive.
Pothos
If you’re looking for an indoor plant that works well in small spaces this is your guy. This resilient fellow earned itself the nickname “devils’ ivy” for its ability to survive even in the darkest of conditions. The Pothos is a trailing vine that can survive the water battles you send its way. Keep furry family members away as it’s toxic.
English Ivy
Are you looking for a plant that works well in full shade? This climbing plant with its long tendrils would love to sit on your mantel or shelf. Just keep it away from the fur babies – another toxic plant for them.
Peperomia
Do you like to add unique plants to your space? This is the plant for you. This plant is colorful and loves to grow indoors. He likes to hold water in his stems and leaves which makes him drought tolerant. With that in mind, don’t overwater!
Peace Lily
If you struggle with overwatering, this is the plant for you. The peace lily only asks for sufficient light, and it will reward you with spade-shaped flowers. Keep the fur kids away from this one too.
Monstera Deliciosa
Do you like cheese? You’ll love this aptly named Swiss cheese plant for its tropical leaves with holes. The monstera can grow quite large and loves bright to medium light and moderate watering. Even though many cats like to hide in the jungle like foliage, don’t let your pets chew on the leaves as they are toxic.
Yucca
That one is just fun to say. Yucca loves the sun! If you’re looking for a slow growing indoor plant choose this gal. She likes a deep planter to help her balance her top-heavy woody stems and prefers to be watered sparingly. She’s kind of mean to dogs and cats, so keep them away.
Spider Plant
Do you like clean air? Us too! These spider plants are fast-growing and love to reproduce. You’ll soon find little ‘babies’ that shoot of the plant and you can re-pot to add to another room. Spider plants loves the light and weekly watering.
Snake Plant
If you’re looking for a resilient plant for your bedroom, you can’t go wrong with sansevierias. These tough contenders are stiff, sharp and spikey and can survive neglect. Even if you left for a month it would survive without water. Thanks for your patience, Mr. Snake plant. We will keep dogs and cats away from you, as you’re a bit toxic for them.
Asparagus Fern
Asparagus sounds like it belongs in the kitchen, and it would love to be there. This lovely fluffy plant can handle any abuse you throw its way. The asparagus fern can tolerate bright or low light and loves to have its soil kept moist. Please keep the fur babies away as she’s allergic and will fight back.
