Easiest Houseplants to Grow

2/8/2022

0 Comments

 
Gardening is a very calming activity that fills life with peace and joy. It's really just a rewarding experience. In previous posts I have talked about gardening outside. What about inside houseplants?

1.Pothos
Pothos are by far the easiest houseplants to take care of. I really like pothos because each leaf is different, none are the same. Some stand straight up or some can dangle down like a vine. 
Watering is very straightforward for the pothos plant. I have found that watering weekly is the best. Occasional fertilizer is needed to increase the growth of the plant.

2. Aloe
Aloes have a special property that is used medicinally. The inside flesh of the aloe plant is used as a soothing agent for cuts, shapes, burns, and skin care. Aloe is a great plant to have around for those reasons. It really does sooth and help irritations, I was very surprised myself when I tried using it. 
Aloe is a very hardy plant that requires minimal watering. I usually water mine every 10-14 days depending on the temperature and the season.

3. Bamboo
I grow my Lucky Bamboo plant in water only with occasional liquid fertilizer. I love the bamboo because it is a plant that doesn't take up a lot of space, nor needs a lot of sunlight. It's a perfect fit for a desk or a shelf. Bamboo is also a very hardy plant requiring minimal care resulting in ease on the owner.

4. Snake Plants
Thin, thick, variegated, or striped snake plants come in a variety of visual appeals. Some can be tall or some can be short and compact. The reason why I love snake plants is because of their minimal care and low light preferences. I usually water my snake plant every 10-14 days just like the bamboo. 

5. Tillandsia and Bromeliads
The last plant on this list is actually an air plant that can be planted in soil. It looks more like a Bromeliad than the air plants that everyone else thinks about. A pink flower will come out from the center. Eventually that pink flower will gradually open up and purple flowers will emerge. 
​

I'd consider the tillandsia to be more of a dessert plant versus a tropical plant. Tillandsia bromeliads are very hardy and drought tolerant when grown indoors. I usually water mine every 14 days depending on the season and temperature of my room.
