You don’t really need a big balcony or garden to invite lustrous greenery in your home. If you’re fascinated by the natural vibes around you then you just have to spend some time nurturing some plants which can easily survive in your home and are cost-effective and low maintenance.

For keeping these plants in your home, you do not need to be an expert in gardening, but your little attention will work well on them to be always fresh, and they will add a mesmerizing decor look in your home as well as the balcony.  

Let’s see what those plants are here…

1 Areca Palm

This leafy plant can be easily grown anywhere in your home in indirect sunlight. Make sure it is not exposed to direct sunlight. This plant grows about 30 feet outdoors, but it is restricted about 7 feet indoors. Put in a small pot and the crowded roots will help in limiting the size of the plants. The plant is useful in filtering the xylene and toluene from the air and works effectively as an effective humidifier. Water enough to keep the plant moist in summer and lets it dries little between watering in winter.

2 Peace Lily

This plant requires low to medium light and requires water when the top of the soil is dry. The graceful white spathes of the peace lily beautify the space wherever you keep it. Don’t overwater and you will notice a nice growth of the plant as it is more tolerant of under watering. This plant is also excellent air-cleanser

3 Spider Plant

This plant derived its name due to uniquely-shaped leaves, which dangle like spiders on a web. Make sure you use well-drained soil and do not make soil soggy by over watering. Bight, indirect light and occasional watering make the spider plant one of the easiest to care for. If you see the plant turning a little brown, do not worry. It is normal and it will get back to its green self soon.

4 Snake Plant

It is one of the top air-purifying plants identified by NASA. This plant is easy to grow and does not require your extra attention to survive as it needs light watering only after the soil has fully dried and this grows best in an indirect light. Place it in an elevated planter to pop out the empty corner of your home. Use free-draining soil to keep alive as it can easily rot.

5 ZZ Plant

A ZZ plant requires less water than other plants, so if you neglect them while watering, you will do well with them as over watering can damage it. This will tolerate little low light but keeping them in bright indirect light is advisable.

6 Rubber Plants

Like the ZZ plant, the Rubber plant also requires a bright indirect light. To keep it on its best, you should only water it when the soil is dry. This plant is the best natural air-cleanser. So you can place it near your favorite seating place and enjoy the fresh air.

7 Jade Plants

With this small leafy plant, you have to make sure that they are watered properly. Never wait till the soil is completely dry and also do not over water it or do not water them often, as this can cause root rot. Only water them when the top soil is just dry to the touch. This plant requires medium sunlight, so it is important to keep them in a light for 2-3 hours a day.

8 Golden Pothos

Golden Pothos live indoors so happily. This is another version of a money plant and can live in the dark also. Pothos like bright and indirect light, but they don’t like over watering, but moderate watering goes well with this plant. Keep it in a nice terracotta pot to create more impact to this leafy plant which will bring charming vibes in your home decor.

9 Anthurium

This is a beautiful plant with a waxy, a heart-shaped flowers with a prominent stamen in the center. This is not so low maintenance but at the same time it is not so high maintenance plant. This requires occasional fertilizing. Make sure regular watering but do not over water and do not allow the plant to become too dry or it will slow down its growth. They grow best in a bright and indirect light.

10 Aloe Plants

Aloe loves the sun and grows well when you keep plants near sunny windows as this plant likes to be warm and dry, not wet and cold. You do not need to water too often, but a weekly watering is more than sufficient for this kind of plant. These are very useful plants to clear formaldehyde and benzene, which can be a byproduct of chemical-based cleaners, paints and other toxins. Keep in a tall pot to keep the leaves off the table.

All these plants also add some decor vibes in your office too and some can settle on your desk also. So do not worry to glam up your office environment with this natural beauty.
