Golden Pothos has enormous yellow and green leaves that stand out even when placed in a dark corner. With better care, the plant can really outgrow. You may need to report to a larger pot every so often.
Chinese Money Plant (Pilea Peperomioides)
The Chinese money plant is considered one of the best “shelfie” plants because of its short stature. It only grows up to 12 inches in height. Despite it being easy to grow, It’s a rare plant, therefore more priced and badly sought after here in the U.S. So if you are lucky enough to own it, take great care of it.
The plant requires very little water, so you only water it when completely dry. If you are keen enough, you can always tell when it is thirsty as it will start to droop.
The plant also loves bright but indirect sunlight. You will always see it gravitate towards the light so place it where it will easily get the light. In addition, it needs well-draining soil, so be sure to add some perlite for drainage when using normal potting soil.
Snake Plant
The snake plant is exceptionally tough. That is why you will often spot it in offices and shopping malls. The plant loves plenty of light but very minimal water with its upward-facing long leaves. It can go for many days without water.
The snake plant thrives in the same temperatures and humidity levels as humans and prefers a rich and well-draining potting mix. They are slow growers, so it may be long before you need to repot.
Lucky Bamboo
Lucky Bamboo is a very low-maintenance indoor plant believed to bring good luck, prosperity, and happiness. Hence the name Lucky Bamboo. It is also believed to enhance the energy of its surrounding or chi. This is why it’s popularly given as a gift.
Lucky Bamboo isn’t too fussy about environmental conditions. It can grow just about anywhere- in plain water (bottled water) or in soil. Perhaps its biggest demand is lighting. When deprived, you will see it gravitate towards where there is light.
Lucky Bamboo is happy being watered at least once every week. Be warry of Spider Mites and Mealybugs. They, too, love the plant.
Spider Plant (Chlorophytum Comosum)
The Spider Plant features long green, white, and cream leaves. Spider plants are tough, require minimal care, and maintenance are very easy to grow. You can place them on a shelf or stand, but they look fabulous when on a hanging basket.
Similar to Lucky Bamboo, Spider plants can grow just about anywhere. They quickly adapt to the conditions of their surrounding. That said, bright indirect sunlight, moist soil, and regular watering are enough to keep a spider plant happy.
Fiddle Leaf Fig (Ficus Lyrata)
The Fiddle Leaf Fig makes for a great centerpiece because of its tall columnar stature and stunning foliage. It’s also great for filling up lonely corners. This trendy indoor plant features big waxy green leaves that look like a violin.
Contrary to what most people believe, Fiddle Leaf Fig is easy to care for when in the right environment. It thrives in warm, wet, and humid environments and requires filtered bright light.
Because it requires a little more attention than other indoor plants, it is best suited for people with more time on their hands.
What we love most concerning this plant is that it communicates its needs. It will always signal when it needs water, light, or even when overwatered. You need to be keen on the changes in the leaves and the plant in general.
Boston Fern (Nephrolepis Exaltata)
Boston Ferns have stunning bright green leaves, which must be maintained in high humidity and indirect sunlight. These lush ferns are easy to grow as long as you find a way always to keep them moist, even if they’re being misted every week to keep the humidity levels high.
The Boston Fern would do exceptionally well in the bathroom.
The plant rarely requires fertilizer but loves soil filled with peat moss. Even though it’s easy to grow once you have a care schedule in place, you will need to keep a keen eye because Mealybugs and spider mites easily infest this plant.
