Monstera Delicosa

Recognize these giant split leaves? Also known as the “Swiss Cheese Plant,” the Monstera Deliciosa is famous for its beautiful, silky green leaves and their natural splits and holes, which are known as fenestrations. With medium light and watering when the soil is dry, they will grow wild and wide, giving any interior space an instant jungle vibe.

Parlor Palm

Low light tolerance, easy care, air purifying, and pet friendly, this plant’s got it all! The Parlor Palm is one of our favorite palms and one of the best houseplants for any home as it is prized for its resilience to indoor conditions and its care being quite low maintenance. Also, since it is a slow-growing palm that stays cute and compact, it often does not reach heights over 3-4 feet.

Snake Plant

Snake Plant is a great beginner’s plant for many reasons. First, it’s practically indestructible—it thrives in both the direct sun as well as low lighting and doesn’t require a lot of water (think once a week). Second, it’s a nocturnal air-purifying plant. Just prop it in the corner of your bedroom and let it get to work while you sleep.

Spider Plant

Despite its creepy-crawly name, the spider plant is one of the best houseplants for those who are inherently bad at caring for plants. With different variations including pure green, and variegation on the outside and the inside, the spider plant can be bottom or top watered about once every two weeks and will grow under any lighting circumstance—from the tiniest of windows to direct exposure to the blazing sun.

Peace Lilly

The name “peace lily” definitely evokes a sense of calm. Peace lilies can live for years and continuously produce broad white flowers that resemble a white peace flag, They’re easy to take care of and don’t need much light, so they’re perfect for shady spaces. Just keep them out of reach from pets and small children, as they can cause vomiting or tongue swelling if they’re ingested.

Rubber Plants

Rubber plants — also known as rubber trees or Ficus elastica — make for great indoor houseplants. They’re generally easy to take care of and only need to be watered every week or so, rubber plants feature air-purifying properties. Just be sure to keep them firmly away from any pets and from young children, as they’re known to be highly toxic when ingested.

ZZ Plant

The easy care of a ZZ plant, or Zamioculcas zamiifolia, should finish the job for you when selecting an indoor plant to alleviate your home decor! They’ve made a name for themselves worldwide due to their tolerance of many home conditions, especially low-light spaces. Place your plant in almost any light, then water when the soil is completely dry and you will understand why these guys are one of the best.

Chinese Money Plant

The Chinese Money Plant, Coin Plant, or Pilea Peperomioides, is worth spending your money on. Its cute, circular leaves face toward the light it receives, which can result in an impressive wall of discs if never rotated. They enjoy even, bright, indirect light and, when happy, produce lots of little offsets, or baby plants, that can be shared with friends. With foliage like this, it’s no wonder why they are one of the best!

Fiddle Leaf Fig

With large leaves in the shape of fiddles, it is evident where the Fiddle Leaf Fig, or Ficus Lyrata, got its name. They are used in many home decor and design magazines, making them impressive and stunning pieces to add to your home. Although they are pretty great, they can be a little temperamental! Doing their best in a stable environment, they should always be placed right next to a very bright window in your home to be happy and healthy houseplants in the years to come.
