Best Indoor Plants for Beginners
Want to add some green to your home without the hassle? Indoor plants are a great way to bring life into your space—and some are nearly impossible to kill. Here are the best low-maintenance houseplants for beginners.
1. Snake Plant (Sansevieria)
Tough, stylish, and low-effort. Snake plants thrive in low light and don’t need frequent watering. Just water every 2–3 weeks and let the soil dry out completely between waterings.
2. Pothos
One of the easiest plants to grow. It’s forgiving, grows fast, and looks great in hanging baskets. Pothos does well in low to medium light and only needs water when the soil is dry.
3. Spider Plant
These cheerful plants are pet-friendly and excellent at purifying air. They produce “babies” you can replant, and only need water once a week.
4. ZZ Plant
Perfect for dark rooms or forgetful plant owners. The ZZ plant is drought-tolerant and practically indestructible. Just don’t overwater it.
5. Peace Lily
Elegant and easy to care for. Peace lilies prefer indirect light and moist soil. They even droop a little when they need water—easy to read and revive.
Bonus Tip: Don’t Overwater
Most indoor plants prefer to be slightly dry rather than too wet. Make sure your pots have drainage holes to avoid root rot.
Final Thoughts
These beginner-friendly plants are perfect for adding greenery and freshness to your home—no green thumb required.
