The bright and warm days of summer are drawing nearer, and new life blooming at every turn. Though we would all love to be outdoors tending our gardens together, during this time of quarantine, things have to look a bit different. While we’re all staying inside to keep ourselves and others safe, it’s the perfect time to breathe new life into your home with colorful flowers and plants.
Certain plants thrive indoors and don’t require more than minimal attention, these make the perfect houseplants for anyone who wants to add a little bit of extra beauty to their space. Here is a list of 5 houseplants that are easy to care for!
- Peace Lily
The peace lily is one of the simplest houseplants to care for—it is very low maintenance, doesn’t require much direct light, and can handle the occasional over or under watering. Its beautiful dark green leaves are offset by the white or yellow flower clusters which make it a perfect plant for any space.
- Begonias
This lovely plant is an excellent choice for indoors because of its ability to flower year around in the right conditions. Begonias do require a lot of light, and need to be watered or misted regularly, but the beautiful blooms on this plant make the maintenance well worth it.
- African Violet
Much like the peace lily, African violets don’t require much direct sunlight, making them an easy houseplant to care for. This vibrant plant doesn’t need much water either, simply press down on the soil and if it feels dry, give it a drink! The African violet stays in bloom year round, so it’ll add the perfect pop of color to brighten your home even through the winter.
- Aloe Vera
Aloe Vera is a great plant to grow that will provide you with multiple benefits. Place the plant in direct sunlight and water every two weeks and that’s all it will need! Having this plant in your home can improve air quality, plus, you can use the gel from the plant to treat minor cuts or burns!
- Spider Plant
This houseplant is another excellent choice for anyone who prefers something low maintenance. All it needs is indirect sunlight and an occasional watering, but they can even thrive if you forget to water it here and there. These plants look beautiful when placed in hanging baskets.
