It can be hard to keep indoor plants alive and your trial and error don&#8217;t have to be in vain! There are plants out there that thrive off neglect and only require very little assistance. A watering can and some water should be your tools of choice.<\/p>\n<p>These indoor plants aren&#8217;t impossible to kill, but even the slightest gardening knowledge should help you keep these sorts of indoor plants alive! Don&#8217;t settle for fake plastic indoor plants and choose some of these amazingly self-sufficient indoor plants.<\/p>\n<h2>1. Aloe<\/h2>\n<p>This cactus-like succulent not only looks great in a small pot, it has many beneficial properties too! Snap a leaf off when you have a bad sunburn or forgot to moisturise and simply rub it on your skin to let it heal. You can keep the leaves in the refrigerator for up to 5 days to reap all the benefits.<\/p>\n<p>Make sure to keep this little beauty out of direct sunlight and give it a good dousing of water every couple of weeks.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span id=\":22s.co\" class=\"tL8wMe EMoHub\" dir=\"ltr\"><\/span><\/p>\n<h2>2. Jade Plant<\/h2>\n<p>You&#8217;ve probably seen this unique succulent plant growing boldly in people&#8217;s gardens, but you can keep it potted inside too. Jade plant is also known as the &#8220;money plant&#8221; and considered to be good luck, so you&#8217;ll definitely want to add this one to your collection.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t stress about watering this one on a regular basis, just when the top of the soil is dry to touch. This wonderful plant retains water in their leaves, so it can handle a bit of neglect. You shouldn&#8217;t let it dry out completely but also don&#8217;t over water it, as that will lead to root rot.<\/p>\n<p>Place it in a sunny spot, as this plant absolutely thrives off sunlight. A window sill or in your kitchen is an ideal place for it.<\/p>\n<h2>3. Philodendron<\/h2>\n<p>bring a tropical vibe to your house with the heart leaf shaped philodendron! This particular plant is one of the most durable indoor plants you can find. You&#8217;ll be spoilt for choice trying to choose a size or shape for your plant collection, they come in a huge variety. They can grow quite large with their long vine stems.<\/p>\n<p>Place it in a sunny spot and you can pretty much leave it to its own devices! Don&#8217;t water it more than once a week and you&#8217;ll see it grow before your eyes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span id=\":22s.co\" class=\"tL8wMe EMoHub\" dir=\"ltr\"><\/span><\/p>\n<h2>4. Peace Lily<\/h2>\n<p>A great thing about this particular plant is that it will indicate to you when it needs a drink of water. What a blessing to find a communicative plant! When the leaves begin to droop, you know that it needs a bit of water! Spritz it with water every couple of weeks in order to avoid the droop!<\/p>\n<p>Another huge benefit is that it cleanses the air we breathe! It will get rid of nasty toxins in the air for you.<\/p>\n<p>This plant is usually best as a floor plant as it can grow up to 6 feet tall. They prefer minimal sunlight, so pop it in a shady corner and you&#8217;re good to go!<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately peace lily&#8217;s are poisonous to cats and dogs if ingested so definitely reconsider if you have some furry roommates.<\/p>\n<h2>5. Mother-In-Law&#8217;s Tongue<\/h2>\n<p>This incredibly resilient plant can survive up to 1 month without water! It&#8217;s great for those who have a habit of neglecting their plants, as it needs to be watered when the soil is dry to the touch.<\/p>\n<p>It can tolerate low light positions but would thrive best in a sunny spot.\u00a0Add this quirky plant to your collection you&#8217;ll be getting many compliments about its uniqueness.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span id=\":22s.co\" class=\"tL8wMe EMoHub\" dir=\"ltr\"><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Which of these indoor plants will you add to your collection?<\/h3>\n<h6>Featured image source:\u00a0https:\/\/www.pinterest.com.au\/pin\/158681586851982429\/<\/h6>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sometimes your green thumb just isn&#8217;t green enough.
