“Easy to Grow” INDOOR Plants

June 9, 2020 in Decor

I have started to slowly incorporate live plants into my home and am quickly becoming obsessed! My first one was a Golden Pothos and it is thriving.

I know we don’t all have a “green thumb”, but still want to try our hand at growing live plants.

After doing some research, I found some that seem to be tried and true and easy to grow.

I have put together a list of some of the most popular indoor plants that many seemed to find easy to care for. These are in no particular order, but I did * star * the ones that seemed to consistently deemed “easy to grow”.

I also did research related to toxicity to humans and pets and found that some of the information related to toxicity was contradictory, so PLEASE make sure to do your own additional research before purchasing if you have children and/or pets. I have some websites at the bottom of the article you an use for reference.

*Spider Plant -easy to care for, likes moderate light, air purifier, you can propogate , can be a hanging plant, let the soil dry out between waterings.

*Pothos– bright indirect sunlight, let the soil dry out between waterings, grow in well draining soil. Easy to propogate. Comes in several different varities. fast growing.

*Snake Plant: (aka Mother-in-law’s Tongue) – allow soil to dry between waterings, avoid getting the leaves wet, indirect light, fertilize during the growing season. Do not over water in winter.

*Aloe– like indirect light and a good soak every week or two.

*Jade plant– evergreen plant, succulent type glossy leaves, easily propagated, low maintenance.

*Chinese Money plant– easy to care for, indirect sunlight, water every week or two, can propogate.

*ZZ plant (Zamioculcas zamiifolia) -prefers low light, low humidity and to stay on the drier side

Peperomia – do best in humid conditions, and can flourish under flurescent lights.

Prayer Plant – keep the soil moist but not drenched, avoid bright indirect light, and high humidity.

*Philodendron – prefers low light and like to be on the dry side (only water once a week), fast growing. heart shaped leaves.

Fiddle leaf fig– plant in well draining type soil, indirect sunlight, liked the soil moist but not soaking, no drafty areas (in front of vents) , less water in the winter months , don’t over fertilize (once in spring and monthly throughout summer), mist the leaves in the dry winter months

English Ivy– climbing type plant great for a mantel or shelf.

*Rubber Plant– keep soil moist, but not drowing. Mist the leaves of wipe them down with a damp cloth to keep them moist and help the plant absorb more sunlight. Bright, indirect sunlight, away from drafts. Keep it in well draining soil. During the winter months (dormant season) you may only need to water once or twice a month.

If you have children or pets, I HIGHLY recommend you check out these websites for additional information and research on plant toxicity:

  • Poison Control Center for a list of toxic and non-toxic plants for humans.
  • ASPCA (American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals)– there is a comprehensive list of Toxic and Non-Toxic plants.

I hope you’ll come back soon for more decor, DIY’s, recipes, and all the in between.

You CAN update your home on a budget and make it beautiful. When we moved in the kitchen needed lots of updates to make it a space that was functional for my family and one we loved to be in. Slowly -one project at a time and MANY years later- it is a space I love to be in, cook in and make memories in. ❤️

I kept the same footprint..same flooring- even the same cabinets (I built new upper doors). Some of the updates include: added an island, kept the same countertops - they are painted with an epoxy countertop paint, new lighting, painted the cabinets and walls, tile backsplash, new hardware, new sink and faucet and new appliances.

This is the year of a few backyard improvements… This is the year of a few backyard improvements… including a garden with all my families favorite fruits and veggies.
