Need a little green to spruce up your home?
Here are FIVE great looking houseplants that are easy to find (and hard to kill).
You’ll find varieties of these plants at most nurseries. They’re all low-maintenance, don’t require a whole lot of water, and it takes more work to kill them than it does to raise them.
#1 – Pothos
According the TheSpruce.com – Pothos are one of the easiest houseplants to grow. While pothos likes bright, indirect light it can thrive in areas that don’t get a lot of sunlight or have only fluorescent lighting. It’s an excellent plant for locations such as offices and dorm rooms. One advantage of growing pothos is that they are high on the list of plants that can help purify indoor air of chemicals such as formaldehyde, trichloroethene, toluene, xylene, and benzene. #Science
#2 – Spider Plant
Another popular option is the Spider Plant. These hardy plants will grow in most conditions. Spider plants prefer bright light and tend to thrive in scorching in direct sunlight. However, they will grow in conditions ranging from semi-shady to partial direct sun.
#3 – Snake Plant
