The Best Indoor Plants
What constitutes the best indoor plant will be different for different people. The best indoor plant for some is one that is easy to care for. Other people will value a plant that filters the air, so it's important to consider various factors when determining which plants are the best indoor plants.
- Braided Ficus Tree – This tree is undemanding and adaptable to many conditions. It produces pleasing foliage besides being easy to care for.
- Chinese Evergreen – If part of your home doesn't receive much light, the Chinese Evergreen is a low maintenance plant that works well in shady and low light conditions. This plant also helps purify the air.
- Ponytail Palm – This plant is a great match for those who don't like to water plants. Whether you are away on vacation or just not one who likes to care for high maintenance plants, you don't need to worry because the large trunk stores all the water the Ponytail Palm needs.
- Moth Orchid – This plant produces white petals that are pleasant to look at. This plant should be placed in indirect sunlight and will work to help filter the air.
- Spider Plant – This plant grows easily in baskets and features stunning arching leaves. Spider plants are low maintenance and are not particular about water or light conditions.
- Cactus – Cacti are forms of succulents that are readily available for purchase in home gardening centers as well as some grocery stores. Some cactus plants have prickly spines, while others do not. Cactus plants also vary in leaf structure and shape. Although these plants do best when placed in bright light and within well-drained pots, they can withstand a tremendous amount of neglect and do well with little water.
