Do you live in an apartment, loft, flat?!\u00a0 Don’t have a yard or garden?\u00a0 You can still enjoy the benefits by creating your own Urban Jungle indoors.\u00a0 Here’s a list of 5 Indoor Plants you probably won’t kill!<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I absolutely love indoor plants!!\u00a0 Like L-O-V-E! For one, I’m inside the house A LOT so I get to really enjoy them.\u00a0 And two, they usually don’t require too much care.\u00a0 Today I’m sharing my list of 5 Indoor Plants that you probably won’t kill.\u00a0 How do I know?!\u00a0 Well, I don’t know for sure so that’s why I said ‘probably’.\u00a0 But back when I first started collecting plants, these 5 were the only ones I didn’t kill.\u00a0 Not only are they easy but most of them are proven to filter out toxins and improve air quality!\u00a0 Who doesn’t love that?!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Disclosure:\u00a0 I have no schooling or formal training of indoor plants, or any plants for that matter.\u00a0 All of the information given in this post is from my personal experience and random internet findings.\u00a0 No scientific names here.\u00a0 Just basic information.
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Create<\/p>\n

1. The Swiss Cheese Plant <\/strong>is native to the tropical rain forests of Southern Mexico and Panama.\u00a0 This plant is gorgeous and will get huge if you love it enough!\u00a0 I worked at a golf course and they had one that was about 30 feet tall.\u00a0 Wowza!!\u00a0 It’s easy to care for and doesn’t need too much attention.\u00a0 It has beautiful big leaves that split when mature.\u00a0 I love that this plant is easily multiplied.\u00a0 Plants grow from stem cuttings so cut a leaf just below a node and place in room temp. water until roots form.\u00a0 Then place in soil!<\/p>\n

Light:\u00a0 Gentle light.\u00a0 No direct sunlight.\u00a0 Will also grow in shade.<\/p>\n

Water:\u00a0 Wet soil evenly and let dry completely between watering.\u00a0 Use a pot with drainage.<\/p>\n

Humidity:\u00a0 Average<\/p>\n

Propagate:\u00a0 Yes<\/p>\n

\"Create<\/p>\n

2. The Snake Plant <\/strong>is native to tropical West Africa.\u00a0 It’s a funky plant with creeping dense leaves.\u00a0 Mature leaves are dark green with light yellow\/green edges.\u00a0 I love that this plant looks cool and also serves a purpose.\u00a0 NASA research shows that this is one of the best plants for air quality!<\/p>\n

Light:\u00a0 Indirect sunlight.\u00a0 Can tolerate sunny conditions and will also thrive in low light.<\/p>\n

Water:\u00a0 Do not water too much.\u00a0 Let soil completely dry between watering.\u00a0 It is not necessary to fully soak soil.\u00a0 (These plant can be prone to root rot.)<\/p>\n

Humidity:\u00a0 Average-High<\/p>\n

Propagate:\u00a0 Yes<\/p>\n

\"Create<\/p>\n

3. The Heart Shaped Philodendron<\/strong> is native to Southeastern Brazil.\u00a0 They are so beautiful and vary in color.\u00a0 They’ll climb up a trellis or make awesome hanging plants.\u00a0 This might be one of the easiest to care for plants EVER!<\/p>\n

Light:\u00a0 Low-moderate.\u00a0 No direct sunlight.<\/p>\n

Water:\u00a0 Water soil evenly.\u00a0 Let soil completely dry between watering.\u00a0 Mist approx. twice per week.<\/p>\n

Humidity:\u00a0 Average-High.\u00a0 Will tolerate dry air.<\/p>\n

Propagate: Yes.\u00a0 Cut leaves below a node and place in room temp. water until roots form.\u00a0 Then place in well draining soil.<\/p>\n

\"Create<\/p>\n

4. The Spider Plant <\/strong>might be THE easiest to care for plant.\u00a0 They adapt well to almost any condition and have very few problems.\u00a0 They can vary in color from a white\/green combo to dark green.\u00a0 The tips of Spider Plants will often brown.\u00a0 This is okay but due to fluoride in the water.\u00a0 You can use distilled water instead of tap.<\/p>\n

Light:\u00a0 Bright indirect sunlight.<\/p>\n

Water:\u00a0 Water soil evenly.\u00a0 Allow to dry in between watering.<\/p>\n

Humidity: Average<\/p>\n

Propagate:\u00a0 Yes.\u00a0 Baby spider plans will start to grow from shoots.\u00a0 Pick off and allow to root in water before placing in soil.<\/p>\n

\"Create<\/p>\n

5. The Aloe Plant <\/strong>is amazing!\u00a0 The juices from this plant can be used around the house for things like burns and scrapes.\u00a0 It has green variegated leaves that can reach 2′ or more.\u00a0 They are so beautiful and will do really well in your kitchen window.<\/p>\n

Light:\u00a0 Indirect bright light.<\/p>\n

Water:\u00a0 Water soil evenly.\u00a0 Let dry completely in between watering.\u00a0 Do not over water!\u00a0 Use cactus soil.<\/p>\n

Humidity:\u00a0 Low-Average<\/p>\n

Propagate:\u00a0 Yes.\u00a0 Babies will grow from the plant that you can then cut.\u00a0 Allow the cut to callus before placing in soil.\u00a0 Do not water for at least one week once the baby is in new soil.<\/p>\n

Honorable Mentions<\/strong><\/p>\n

I feel like I have to mention a few more.\u00a0 Succulents\/Cacti<\/strong> are always fun and honestly do not require much attention AT ALL but, I have killed many succulents and cacti when I was first starting out.\u00a0 I didn’t believe that a plant could go months without being watered so I would over water.\u00a0 Once you figure them out, you’ll love them!\u00a0 I love Cassidy at Succulents and Sunshine<\/a> she is so knowledgeable and has lots of info on her website about succulent care. The Jade Plant<\/strong> is another one I love.\u00a0 I have one right now that’s doing pretty well but it does get leggy and stretched out because it doesn’t always get enough light.<\/p>\n

Most of these plants can be found at your local nursery or even a Fred Meyer or Home Depot.\u00a0 I prefer to buy local if I can.\u00a0 I feel like the quality of the plant is usually better and have been treated with less (if any) chemicals.\u00a0 We are bringing them into our homes after all!<\/p>\n

Are there any other plants you love that are easy to care for?\u00a0 Leave me a comment.\u00a0 Let me know if I need to make room for any more plants in my house.\u00a0 Ha!\u00a0 Thanks for visiting today!\u00a0 If you love indoor plants as much as I do, follow me on Instagram<\/a> where I share my plants almost daily!\u00a0 See you next time!<\/p>\n
