The best indoor plants for your home

House plants have a lot of benefits for your home, including clean air, interesting factors, and beautiful style to your home. But let’s be real; when it comes to indoor plants not everyone has a green thumb and some have trouble keep a succulent alive for longer than a day. Some people jump right into the exciting adventure of having indoor plants while others don’t know where to start with their plant parenthood. The good thing is, plants come in a variety that makes it easy for anyone, even those who swear that they’ll kill a cactus, to keep them in their home. 

While the experts might feel confident with taking on the high maintenance plants, we suggest those new to the plant world start with a few easy, low maintenance plants. There are plants for just about every environment and every person. Before you begin with choosing your plants you want to take a look at your environment. It’s useless to get a plant that thrives in sunlight if you only have a few windows in your home, you’re just dooming yourself to failure. 

You’ll also want to chart out a watering plan for your house plants (trust us, it’ll be a lifesaver) since this is where most plant owners fail with indoor plants. Watering plants too often is just as dangerous as forgetting to water them, so you want to make sure that you know exactly how much water each plant needs and how often. There are apps that you can download that'll remind you or something as simple as a sticky note can help you remember. 

Now that you’ve got the basics of the proper plant care, let’s dive into the world of plants. Whether you’re looking to cover every inch of your home in beautiful, fresh green or just want something for your window sill, we’ve got it all. For the experts looking to add to their collection or the beginner ready to give it a try, these indoor plant reviews will help you decide on your next indoor plant collection. 

The Snake Plant 

The snake plant will make a great addition to your home and you can find a lot of different varieties so you’ll have plenty to choose from.

They’ll do great if you live somewhere where you don’t get very much sun in your home. Just when you think it can’t get any better, they’ve also been known to purify the air around them!

Succulents

Succulents come in in all different sizes so you can pick a couple of your favourites out and either put them next to each other on a table or plant them together in a pot or a terrarium. 

Aloe Vera

The aloe vera plant is also a succulent meaning that it doesn’t need too much to grow, and sometimes it grows so fast that you have to repot it.

These plants are amazing for all kinds of needs and will be a great addition to any home!
