We all want to keep our homes looking beautiful. One of the best ways to bring beauty and some color to the home is with plants.
Unfortunately, many people are afraid to grow plants indoors because they think they are hard to keep. Well, there are many low-maintenance plants you can have indoors that will make your home look amazing. Here are some suggestions;
1. Lavender

A plant you will love to bring into your home is Lavender. It not only looks good but will also make your house smell amazing.
Lavender is easy to keep alive in a sunny spot of your home, and it only needs watering about once or twice a week. Place it on a windowpane or at the door to keep out mosquitoes.
2. Spider plant
Hanging plants look great and can fit anywhere. Spider plants make excellent hanging plants in a place with a lot of light. They grow fast and will give you a lot of baby plants.
You can re-pot the babies and have spider plants in different parts of your home or give them out to friends.
3. Pothos
Another great plant to hang in your home is Pothos. It’s a trailing plant that can keep growing forever.
You only need to water Pothos once in a while and make sure it dries out in between. Pothos is excellent for places with little natural light, such as next to windows with architectural window tinting.
Grow it next to wall light fixtures as it can grow in artificial light as well.
Plant Pothos on a trellis in your home, hang on your wall, or let it trail over window frames and furniture like bookshelves.
4. Succulents

If there are plants that are meant for people with a black thumb, it is succulents.
There are many varieties of succulents, and they are easy to keep alive because all they need is very little water and a spot in the sun.
You can create a succulent color spectrum by planting various types in a container and placing it in particular home areas, such as in the middle of your coffee table.
Alternatively, create succulent plant wall art by making a wreath or stick them in some recycled corks for an eye-catching display of cute recycled planters.
5. Air plants
Air plants are easy to keep indoors; use them to make a terrarium.
Terrariums are glass containers in which you can make a miniature garden using small plants.
You can also display air plants stylishly in fridge magnets, on frames on your walls, or in ceramic holders.
Air plants get their moisture from the air, but you need to soak them in water once in a while. Place them in an area that gets some light, such as a window or an artificial light source.
6. Aloe vera
If you love everything to do with home beauty remedies, why not plant aloe vera in your home?
Aloe plants are easy to keep alive, and they look good too.
You can use the sap from aloe vera plants to heal cuts and burns and moisturize your skin. You can also use aloe vera extract as a mouthwash as it’s great for killing bacteria and keeping your gums healthy and if you want to improve your digestive health, put some aloe vera extract in a smoothie.
Aloe plants don’t require a lot of watering, just place them in a bright spot and watch them grow.
