Houseplants have increased in popularity over the last several years. Not only do they add beauty to your home, but they also have many other beneficial qualities, like improving air quality, increasing oxygen levels, and even boosting your mood, productivity and creativity.

If you have struggled with houseplants due to overwatering, underwatering or not having the ideal lighting conditions, consider adding one of these low-maintenance houseplants to your collection! These hardy plants range in color, shape and size, but all will stand the test of time.

ZZ Plant: Officially called Zamioculcas Zamiifolia, the ZZ Plant is extremely drought tolerant. In fact, sometimes it thrives with less water! The thick, rubbery leaves may grow slowly — but they’re not likely to wither or die, even under low light conditions.

Snake Plant: Ranging in color from dark green to a vibrant green with yellow variegation, snake plants are one of the hardiest houseplants out there. They require very little watering (every 2-3 weeks) and can survive in low light areas of your home. Plus, they purify the surrounding air!

Aloe: This desert plant does well in desertous conditions, like dry air and plenty of light. That means it can skip a few waterings because it stores water in its thick leaves. Just be sure to check the soil to measure moisture. If you’re willing to sacrifice one of the leaves, aloe can also be used as a natural soothing gel for sunburns and cuts.

Dumb Cane: Don’t be deceived by the name! Dumb Cane, formally known as Dieffenbachia, is a gorgeous, leafy plant with striking variegation. Just keep it away from windows and drafts, as it prefers warmer temperatures, and this plant will be as happy as can be!

Pothos: This graceful trailing plant cascades over the edge of its container, making it a beautiful addition to a hanging basket. Pothos do well in bright, indirect light and low light alike, and it is best to underwater (as opposed to overwatering) them. Their heart-shaped leaves range in color from dark to neon green and many have unique white stripes and other patterns.

Jade: This popular succulent is an excellent choice — especially for the colder months. Jade plants love bright sunlight and shouldn’t be watered on a schedule. It’s best to check the soil regularly and water only when needed.

Rubber Plant: The stunning broad leaves of the rubber plant set this low-maintenance plant apart. Rubber plants love bright, indirect sunlight but can tolerate medium light as well. Plus, they are non-toxic and safe for pets and young children! Keep your rubber plant looking healthy by dusting its leaves regularly.

Spider Plant: Named for its long, stringy leaves, Spider Plants not only thrive in a variety of conditions — they often produce baby spider plants that can be cut off and replanted in separate containers. They do well in moderate-to-low-light areas.

Chinese Evergreen: Aglaonema, also known as the Chinese Evergreen, is as sturdy as it is beautiful. It comes in a variety of colors, patterns and shapes, and doesn’t require much water or light. Just avoid drafts or temperatures below 60 degrees!

Peace Lily: The Spathiphyllum, more commonly known as the Peace Lily, produces graceful white flowers surrounded by a leaf-like spathe. Peace Lilies don’t need much water or light to survive, yet they prefer bright, indirect sunlight.

Happy Planting!

No matter which option you choose, plants are the perfect addition to your home and can be enjoyed for years to come!
