Most people of all ages are becoming increasingly interested in having plants at home. If you want to replicate this idea but are not sure if you have the famous “green thumb”, we have good news for you. Below we will show you five plants that are easy to maintain, which can be grown easily and add beauty to any indoor environment.

Succulents 

Succulents are an excellent option for those who want to have plants at home but do not have much time or space. They are easy to grow and adapt well to indoor environments, provided that they are kept near a window to receive enough sunlight. Watering is sporadic, as they only need to be watered twice a month. In case of doubt, it is better to water less rather than more, because succulents are sensitive to excess water.

Zamioculca

Zamioculca plays an additional role in the decoration, in addition to being easy to care for. Legend has it that it is able to filter energy in the home. Yet another excuse to have one in a planter pot near you, right? It is a species that does not need complex care and can survive with little water and in environments without much light. It is important for the soil to be relatively damp, so self-watering planter pots are recommended.

Monstera

Monstera deliciosa, also known as the Swiss cheese plant, is an attractive plant that does not require much maintenance. It likes moderate sunlight and needs to be watered twice a week, except in winter. It is important for the soil in the planter pot to have good draining, to prevent water accumulation around the roots. Keeping the leaves clean is essential for the health of the plant, which can be done with a soft, damp cloth.

Peace lily

The peace lily is an easy plant to care for that symbolizes peace, tranquility, harmony and healing. To grow it indoors, it needs proper soil, shade and fresh water. Water peace lilies only when the soil is completely dry, and use little water. However, it is important to remember that this plant is toxic to cats and dogs, so keep it out of the reach of pets.

Fern

The fern is one of the oldest plants on the planet and is making a comeback in interior decoration. It is adaptable, but it requires some care, such as soft light and avoiding air currents. The substrate should be kept damp, and the recommendation is to water the plant once a day, except in winter. Periodic fertilization and pruning help keep the plant healthy and beautiful.
