Just like Click & Grow plants, these ones look stylish and don’t require much maintenance either:
1. Aloe
This succulent stores water in its majestic leaves for long periods of time. Wait until the soil is dry before watering.
2. Cacti
Live in a hot climate? Cacti may be the ideal houseplants for you. They love dry air and hot temperatures. Most cacti only need to be watered once a week.
3. Snake Plant
This extraordinary plant requires very little care, growing well with only moderate watering. During winter, they hardly require any water at all. During summer, you’ll only need to water it twice a month.
4. Echeveria
Echeveria require very little watering because they’re used to desert conditions where they have to store water for long periods of time. They only need to be watered approximately once a month when the soil is dry.
5. Ficus
Ficus is a semi-tropical plant that doesn’t require much humidity to thrive. It tends to grow slowly and only needs to be watered once a month.
6. Peace Lily
Peace lilies look gorgeous and can even grow in rooms with low lighting. They usually need to be watered twice a week.
7. Rubber Plant
This plant has a larger-than-life appearance with beautiful, glossy leaves. It’s easy to care for and it will let you know if it needs more sunlight and water by dropping its lower leaves.
