This is a fabulous, popular, low-maintenance house plant. It’s big with wonderful leaves of different shapes. All it needs are warm temperatures, high humidity, and moderate light. Water them occasionally and watch them thrive. However, if you have pets, it’s best to go for another plant as this one can be mildly toxic and can upset your furry friend’s stomach.

These spiky succulents are the ultimate low-maintenance plants. They are easy to take care of and will, from time to time, reward you with beautiful, colorful flowers. All you have to remember is to not drown them in water and overfeed them. They can withstand you forgetting about them for a long time. Water them once or twice a month and they will happily grow inside. They often have a rather simple appearance, but that’s what’s beautiful about them. You can place them in all sorts of containers and make the room even more stylish.

Like other plants on the list, this one is also pretty low-maintenance. The best part about them is that they also act as air purifiers and are completely safe for pets!

This is a plant you can put almost anywhere. Its small, heart-shaped leaves fall over the sides of the container and the vines can get quite long. That’s why this plant looks best hanging from the wall or the ceiling. You can even create a curtain from these plants. Ceropegia tolerates drought and direct sun and is really easy to take care of.

Monstera

Monstera is incredibly popular and it’s just as dramatic. Huge, intriguingly-shaped leaves are hard to miss when you walk into the room. The leaves are dark green and the plant can grow anywhere. Low light is fine, while direct sunlight can damage the leaves. The soil shouldn’t be completely dry, but you don’t have to water it often.
