12 Indoor Plants That Are Almost Impossible to Kill

Not everyone has a naturally green thumb, but that's okay because there are many hard-to-kill houseplants that come to the rescue when you want to add greenery to your home.

Whether you like gardening or not, bringing plants into your home has a way to freshen up your space. In addition to being beautiful to look at and adding to the aesthetics of your home, there is something about plants that makes us feel good. No wonder why many people want to fill their homes and offices with beautiful green leaves. Fortunately, there are several types of houseplants that can fill your home and require a little effort to keep them alive.

If you prefer to play it safe and look for a carefree plant, then artificial plants are for you. However, if you want to try live plants, scroll through our list for the best houseplants!

Rowing plant

The rowing plant is a bold succulent that has large, round leaves with pink tips. This plant loves bright light, so you can place it directly on a sunny windowsill to absorb all the light. These also like to be on the drier side, so don't worry if you forget to water from time to time - they can drink it!

Mrs. Palm

Having full, vibrant palms in your home is always a great addition, and the women's palm is great for starters. Unlike other types of palm trees, this one is easier to care for and only requires indirect sunlight.

Peperomia

With only a tinge of pink, this colorful plant grows well indoors. They also retain water in the stems and leaves, making them resistant to drought. When watering, make sure you are not over watering and check if the soil is completely dry between watering sessions

Asparagus fern

This hairy plant tolerates more abuse than any other fern, thanks to the fact that it's technically not a fern. Setaceus asparagus suits bright spots and dark corners. Keep the soil moist and it will thrive.

Spider plant

What's better than a spider plant? Some spider plants. Fast-growing shoots produce little "babies" that you can replant to add greenery elsewhere. Just stay in a well-lit place and don't forget about weekly watering.

Pace Lilli

If you tend to get too wet, try Spathiphyllum. Peace lilies can "almost grow in an aquarium," Fried says. With enough light, they will also produce spade-shaped flowers all year round.

Calathea Ornata

The "prayer plant" produces foliage beautiful enough to outdo a wreath, and a botany degree is not required to maintain it. For best viewing, keep the plant moist (not soggy) and avoid bright light.

Christmas cactus

If you're more of the leave-and-forget type, anything in the cactus family will be fine, says Fried. Sold as a Thanksgiving or Christmas cactus, this species produces segmented leaves and white, pink, red, or purple flowers.

Plants ZZ

Officially called Zamioculcas zamiifolia, the ZZ plant is native to East Africa. Called the "indestructible king of plants", this species tolerates the dangerous trifecta of plant killers: drought, low light and very low humidity.

Schefflera

This evergreen shrub, also known as the umbrella tree, can grow 15 feet outdoors, but under the supervision of a forgetful gardener, it will grow slower indoors. Like many plants, it can be mildly toxic.

Christmas cactus

If you're more of the leave-and-forget type, anything in the cactus family will be fine, says Fried. Sold as a Thanksgiving or Christmas cactus, this species produces segmented leaves and white, pink, red, or purple flowers.

Crown of thorns

Yes, this plant can produce punctures, but it is not particularly demanding. According to Nejman, succulent shrubs can go without water for a week or more and continue to produce beautiful flowers "all year round".
