Flowers in Interior: 8 Most Low-Maintenance Indoor Plants

1. Sansevieria

Sansevieria will please you both on a sunny windowsill and in a dark corner — just in this case its leaves will be slightly paler. This plant doesn't require frequent watering, fertilizing is not necessary, and repotting should be done every few years when Sansevieria no longer fits in a tight pot.

2. Money Tree

In Feng Shui, this plant is considered a talisman bringing luck and money into the home. You can be sure that it's hard to ruin this low-maintenance money tree for either a dedicated workaholic or a lazy person. Don't place the money tree in direct sunlight, don't overwater it during cold seasons and... wait for budget growth. By the way, with proper care, a small money tree can grow into a meter-high tree.

3. Hoyas

Hoya or wax vine is one of the few climbing plants that bloom abundantly and for a long time in home conditions. A west or east-facing window is suitable for a Hoya pot, and on a sunny windowsill its leaves may lighten and slightly dry out. Don't move it from place to place, don't disturb it with frequent watering and repotting, and this liana will entwine its stems all over the wall.

4. Chlorophytum

If this flower is placed in the home of any of your acquaintances, all you have to do is cut off a "baby" (a small bush hanging on a stem). Place it in water, wait until roots grow and then plant it in soil. The chance that Chlorophytum will die is extremely low. Even if you forget about it for a month, the flower will droop and fade but won't wilt.

5. Hibiscus

Hibiscus is a bushy plant with large flower cups and long stamens. The plant blooms all year round and prefers the humidity and temperature that occurs in our apartments during winter. The only thing it needs is sunlight, so the best spot for its pot is a windowsill. If bright hibiscus buds fall off, water and fertilize it — most likely you haven't done this for a very long time.

6. Kalanchoe

If you don't like spending a lot of time on flower care or often go on business trips, get yourself a kalanchoe. This flower grows in pots of any size, in any soil, in warm or cold rooms, on a windowsill, on the refrigerator or cabinet — anywhere you like. By the way, lately in flower shops you can find hybrids with large bright flowers that are well adapted to living in conditions of insufficient lighting.

7. Aspidistra

Aspidistra tolerates both lack or excess of moisture, shade, dust and low air humidity. Additionally, the plant doesn't require frequent feeding and dislikes repotting. By the way, in England this beauty is called "the cast-iron flower" due to its low-maintenance nature.

8. Euphorbia

Euphorbia — the well-known "survival specialist". It's drought-resistant, loves warmth and light, and can decorate even the most unattractive room. Place it on an eastern or southern window and water twice a week in spring and summer, less frequently in winter. Be careful, the latex of this plant contains a toxic substance — euphorbin, which can cause burns and inflammation of the nasal and eye mucous membranes.
