5 Low Maintenance Plants for Your Apartment

By now we all know that infusing plants into your living space is a great way to decorate your space, improve your overall mood, and promote a positive home environment. We also know (at least for some of us) that keeping those plants alive and healthy can be difficult and time-consuming, especially for those living a busier, on-the-go lifestyle in apartments. 

When choosing plants and greenery for your apartment, it is best to not just run out and find what’s on sale. Researching and carefully selecting plants best suited for your apartment, lifestyle, and plant knowledge is the best way to ensure longer-living, healthier plants. That’s why we’ve compiled a list of five easy-to-care-for, low-maintenance plants ideal for apartment living. 

1. Zebra Plant 

Among the most popular apartment plants around, the Zebra Plant is well-loved for its distinguishable, white-striped, green leaves. Zebra Plants are low-maintenance little plants that tolerate low-light settings, making them the perfect green friend anywhere in your apartment.  
 

2. Wax Vine 

If you are looking for the perfect plant for your shelves, then the Wax Vine is the way to go. This waxy, shiny, lightly fragrant vine produces clusters of blooms that drop down beautifully. These vines require bright, indirect sunlight to bloom and should not be overwatered.  
 

3. Herbs 

Herbs are a great starter plant for those who also enjoy cooking. They are ideal for apartments as they require little space to grow, a small stand, ledge, or shelf on a patio or window is all you need to grow healthy herbs. Some easy herbs to get you started include mint, thyme, and basil. Next time you have guests, impress them with mojitos using homegrown mint!  
 

4. Peace Lily 

If you want something a bit bigger but still with minimal maintenance, we recommend the Peace Lily. These gorgeous plants are highly tolerant in indoor spaces and can grow anywhere if you have the correct pot size. Plus, they begin to droop when dehydrated, so you know exactly when to re-water them. 
 

5. Snake Plants 

Snake Plants are highly sought-after plants for those who live in apartments due to their high tolerance of various environments. Though these plants can thrive in any level of sunlight, they can be easily overwatered, so it is helpful to keep a healthy watering routine of about two times per month. The best part about snake plants is that they help purify the air!
