Living in an urban apartment makes it quite difficult to bring nature inside. Yet, there are small ways in which we can welcome a touch of greenery to our apartments, whether it’s the nightstand or the empty side corner in the living room. These low-maintenance plants make it easy for any gardener, no matter what level you are at.

By the end of this post, you’ll be wanting to add one of these pretty houseplants to your home!

Peperomia:

Peperomia is an easy to grow plant that doubles as a tabletop decor. You can easily swoop in an organic feel with this low-maintenance plant. Since the leaves of Peperomia grow so close to each other and fewer roots allow for the use of a smaller container the plant looks ‘put together’ on small shelves and desks. Optimal conditions for this plant would be bright indirect sunlight and moderate watering once per week. Do not murder Peperomia by overwatering it or by using too heavy soil.

Philodendron:

Most expert gardeners are keen to plant and propagate a living plant wall. The climbing variety of Philodendrons is a perfect match for any home setting as they can be trained around windows, up poles, or down the sides of containers. Partial sun or dappled light is the ideal lighting. Water it sparingly to avoid a soggy wet soil. It is best to choose a well-draining pot to speed up the draining.

If you’re new to caring for houseplants, keep this houseplant for your future gardening endeavors.

Aralia:

Switching from flowering plants to non-flowering? Aralia will be a unique choice and would be a refreshing change from Dracaenas too. The leaves grow quite quickly when placed in bright indirect sunlight- think of a sunny window sill. On the flip side, it can still survive in low light aka the less sunny parts of your home. When people see the plant wilting, the instinct is to water it more. The roots of Aralia will soon rot if you do so. So, fight the urge to water it every day and simply water the plant once in 2 weeks.

Spider Plant:

Novice gardeners will feel proud of their gardening skills because Spider Plant is the easiest of the bunch. Keep it in a location where there is bright filtered sunlight coming in. Summers call for liberal watering and winters call for cutting it back. Spider plants are robust plants that can happily outlast your neglect!
