Monstera
Monstera deliciosa
Pothos
Epipremnum aureum
One of the easiest trailing houseplants. It tolerates low light, forgives missed waterings and grows fast.
Snake Plant
Dracaena trifasciata
An upright, architectural plant that thrives on neglect and handles low light and dry air.
ZZ Plant
Zamioculcas zamiifolia
Glossy, nearly indestructible and drought-tolerant thanks to water-storing rhizomes.
Fiddle Leaf Fig
Ficus lyrata
A statement tree with large violin-shaped leaves. It's beautiful, but it likes consistency.
Peace Lily
Spathiphyllum
Dark green leaves and white blooms. It droops dramatically when thirsty, then bounces back.
Spider Plant
Chlorophytum comosum
Arching striped leaves and baby plantlets. It's easy to grow and safe for pets.
Rubber Plant
Ficus elastica
Thick, glossy leaves and an easy-going nature. It's a simpler alternative to the fiddle leaf fig.
Aloe Vera
Aloe barbadensis miller
A sun-loving succulent with soothing gel. It does well on a bright windowsill.
Heartleaf Philodendron
Philodendron hederaceum
Heart-shaped leaves on trailing vines. It's as easy as pothos and loves to hang or climb.
Calathea
Goeppertia spp.
Patterned leaves that fold up at night. It's gorgeous, pet-safe and a bit fussy about water and humidity.
