Are you looking to become a plant mum in 2020? Or is it your New Year's resolution to never kill another plant? Check out this ultimate guide for indestructible house plants.
Congratulations, you’ve reached adulthood. You’re looking forward to buying plants and cooking homemade meals. It’s official: you’re a plant mum. When you’re starting out, you want parenthood to be simple, so here’s a list of the best houseplants for just that.
1. Snake plant
Like we said here, snake plants don’t need a lot of TLC so are perfect for the student lifestyle.
2. Pothos. Poth-what?
These plants like low light, bright light, to hang, trail or get stuck on a moss pole. Whatever.
3. Aloe vera
Yes, everyone makes the ‘hello Vera’ joke, but it doesn’t get old, does it? This plant will get old though, because it’s so difficult to kill.
4. Succulents
They store water in their leaves so you don’t even have to get up and feed them. Smart, right?
5. Cheese plant
You might also hear the fancy schmancy name monstera thrown around too. Like cockroaches, these guys will survive the apocalypse.
6. Calathea
They’re super pretty and come in a lot of varieties - there’s one for everyone.
7. Bamboo
Ever wanted to feel like a panda?
8. Cacti
Everyone loves a good cactus for its low-maintenance and oh-so-hipster look.
9. Artificial plants
One for the really bad plant mums and dads.
10. Money tree
Don’t be fooled, you’re not going to see a big change in your student budget when you buy this plant. But its plaited trunk makes it cool af, and probably has a better hairdo than most of us.
